We didn’t make a reservation when we went but they do prefer that you do. However we were seated immediately but at any point the restaurant wasn’t full. The bar area was more happening. And also there was live music when we reached.

Our server was very nice and friendly. Service was really good and prompt.

The house bread is so soft and taste so good. Loved it.

Shrimp pesto pasta-5/5( loved it but only thing would like the shrimp to be cooked a Little more)

Chicken parm-5/5( crispy and tasty and the house sauce was also good)

Vanilla cream Brûlée-5/5( less sweet and taste perfect)

Worth trying this place.

We had a wonderful time at the restaurant. Our server, Lindsay, was amazing and attentive throughout our meal. The food came out quickly, was hot, and absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were generous, making it great value for money. This is definitely a restaurant we'll be adding to our regular rotation!

I am not one to leave reviews!! since I work in the restaurant business!! but I hope the owner or manager sees this so they can apply better training to their team!! yesterday 3-29-25 my wife after a long day of work craved some comfortable Italian food, she looked at what time this restaurant is supposed to close so as not to be too late and I see it is at 10 pm we arrived around 8:30!! it was not busy when we arrived they told us they had to go see if they had any tables available I was surprised to see it was not busy!! after a few minutes they sat us down, like 10 or 15 minutes went by 3 waitresses but no one served us I had to ask who would serve us!! another 10 minutes went by until someone arrived we ordered a drink and sparkling water!! seeing the delay I decided to order an appetizer at the same time we ordered aranchinis!! which never arrived at the table, we ordered the food which after almost 45 minutes of waiting we decided to leave since neither the food nor the appetizer came out!! From what I heard I think we were sitting at table 19 or the last table before going to the kitchen!! I hope you watch the video since I saw that there are cameras and train your team better since that is not the way to serve customers!! since I am a restaurant owner and I know what I am talking about!!!

Great food and cocktails, classy atmosphere, and attentive service! Our table ordered cocktails including the Blood Orange Martini, Guava Lava, Mango Paper Plane, and Just Peachy - all were excellent and well-balanced, with the fruity notes in each doing their job well. Certainly not too strong, which is perfect if that's your preference. Warm bread for the table with dipping oil and herbs is very nice, as was the beet salad, which they happily split for us and was unique and flavorful with its whipped ricotta, goat cheese, pistachios, and elderflower honey. Entrees continued to impress: veal piccata and Francesco were both delicious with outstanding sauces, as was the risotto carbonara with chicken. Pork chop saltimbocca was massive and also masterfully prepared, ordering medium as recommended had it come out juicy and tender, not dry like sometimes happens with pork. Overall, definitely a great choice for Italian in Manchester; we're from out of town, but it's no wonder it's a local favorite!

Recent visit with my 91 yo mom after raving about the shrimp scampi to find it was not on menu. Mentioned to server we had both come specifically for the scampi….. they made it for us and was outstanding! A very big thank you!

Food is amazing and the staff is wonderful. The food tastes like a real home cooked Italian meal. New to the area and this is a great, low-key dinner place to go to. A plus is half off bottles of wine on Monday's!

If you want a really delicious Italian meal you cannot go wrong here. The price point is on the high end but everything was delicious. I had the best shrimp scampi I have ever had and the brussel sprout and whipped ricotta appetizers were devoured by our group. We will be going back.

Good local Italian place. Bread is fresh (but takes A LONG TIME!), brussel sprouts were solid, over all food prep Nd quality it top top. Wish the wine list were a little more diverse and had some sophisticated options. But solid 4 stars.
