I’ve been here for dinner and separately just for drinks and have really enjoyed all my visits here. They serve quality Italian food and service was excellent. The meatballs, Caesar salad, mushroom pasta and halibut were all delicious. They also have a great outside back bar for grabbing drinks and being social.

Great fresh food and awesome drinks. Can’t say enough about this place.... A must try if you like Italian when on Nantucket. The meatballs are out of this works and if you are a fan of Arancini's you will be impressed.

I started with the rabbit pasta and it was fantastic, I would place it in my top 3 pasta dishes ever! My main course was a very tender and jucie lamb chops with green ( sorry it looked so good I forgot to take a picture). For dessert I had pistachio cake with pistachio gellato, the cake had and interesting flavor that paired nicely withe raspberries and gellato. I also had a few drinks that were equally strong and delicious. Friendly and pleasant service too!

You could not go wrong with anything you pick! The lamb was THE BEST I've ever had, and I've had a lot of good lamb. It was so buttery and soft. The atmosphere was cozy with what looked like featured artwork on the walls.

Delicious Italian food on a charming patio. A memorable dinner in Nantucket. A bit pricy, but this is Nantucket!
