The atmosphere was cozy, with a small streetside feel, and the service was genuinely traditional -- it honestly felt like dining in someone's home.

It's not really soup. It was a lot of mussels and clams in a sauce with some bread. It was really good and the mussels were meaty and tender. The bread is used to soak up the juices. For my main course I had the swordfish rolls which was thinly sliced swordfish rolled around some crab filling. They were wonderful. There was four of us and we all enjoyed our meals. The menu was in Italian and English which helped a lot.
