Pesto Linguine Shrimp Scampi fresh pasta and large shrimp. Flavor was not overpowering yet proper sauce thick texture. Sea bass special plentiful two large filets with a tomato accoutrement, very tssty and filling. Tiramisu was excellent very light smooth and creamy not overly sweet. Outdoor table seating. Service was good, checked on us regularly. But almost too much foot traffic between 2 tops near the restaurant and larger party tables near the curb. For some reason a lady ran several times between a store and somewhere farther down the street right through the table rows. Very distracting seating arrangement where pedestrians are walking constantly right by your table. Glanced indoors and the decor seemed slightly contemporary and simple I prefer the outdoor seating atmosphere seemed more Italian restaurants genuine. Would visit again.

Great food and service. Bumped into this place while walking down the street and didn't disappoint.

Best food in a long time! We had a special, lobster ravioli in a saffron sauce which was delicious, and a pasta with green pesto and shrimps which was equally good. The tiramisu was also very nice, not too boozy as they can sometimes be. Service was A+. Parking was also not hard to find, which has nothing to do with the restaurant obviously but may be good to know :)
