Great atmosphere. A bit loud. Had table of six and couldn't hear conversation of friends across the round table. Service was kind of slow. Order a bottle of wine and see the waitress walking around with it for 10 minutes before she eventually arrived to open it. She passed by our table at least twice holding the bottle of wine. One guest had his food come out cold and I have never had veal saltimbocca served with melted cheese on top. My dish was also just warm. Saltimbocca is veal, prosciutto, sage and wine. Sometimes marsala. If it hadn't been for the great friends at table, meal would be very forgettable. Creme brulee was just okay. Gelato was good though.

I died and went to heaven. Absolutely superb in every way. Their filet mignon was on point. Great wine selection. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

It's probably the nicest restaurant in pawtuxet village but food isn't necessarily the best. Rhode island style calamari was over fried and dry. Portions were a bit small. Service was slow. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4
