    Best pizza ever
    Emmett G.

    Some of the best pizza In Portsmouth the haters will say it's bad but I have respect for the drive of the bread box making delicious pizzas is hard and not all come out good almost all of my experiences have been good order now it slaps

    Chicken pizza
    Hannah P.

    This place is a HIDDEN GEM. We got a large chicken pizza and garlic bread. I can not say one bad thing about it. The chicken on the pizza is to die for. (They didn't go skimpy on the chicken either) The marinara sauce that came with the garlic bread, probably the best I've ever had.

    Very good and consistent food. At times the employees can be loud, but that's just a minor irritation.

    Great food and prices, close to downtown. Walking distance and plenty of parking! Eat in or take out! Worth it.

From the moment you walk into the historic, brick-walled dining room, you feel like you've been transported to a cozy grotto in Italy. The atmosphere is intimate and upscale, but still incredibly welcoming. Now, for the food: The Carbonara was absolutely authentic--perfectly creamy with just the right bite from the guanciale and sharp Pecorino. It's hard to find a carbonara this well-balanced outside of Rome. I also had the Filet, which was cooked to a flawless medium and was incredibly tender. You can tell they use top-tier cuts of meat. I finished the night with the Peach Sorbet, and it was the perfect refreshing end to the meal. It tasted like biting into a ripe, fresh peach--light, vibrant, and not overly sweet. The service was impeccable throughout the night. If you're looking for a spot for a special occasion or just want a truly world-class Italian meal, this is it. I'll definitely be back!"

Somehow the room felt nicer, cleaner and brighter. We dined with friends and started with cocktails which were very good. Our waiter brought out complimentary bread and oil, which we all enjoyed, and was replenished during our meal. The small Caesar salad was generous and easily enough for two. The meatball appetizer was also quite big, with 3 delicious meatballs and several pieces of garlic toast. We shared a Lasagna entree which was very good, and was more than enough for two people. In fact, we could not finish and brought home a small portion which I enjoyed for lunch. The menu offers both classic comfort Italian dishes, as well as pizza and more modern Italian fare. Our friends were pleased with Chicken Parm, again more than they could eat. We all felt prices were fair and reasonable given food prices these days. Further, unlike a few other spots in town, no unpleasant surprise surcharge for using a credit card. We were too fill to try dessert, but I expect they will be as good as those offered at other Buckley restaurants. I think Michael Buckley has done a great job reinvigorating this long standing Portsmouth restaurant. Be sure to make a reservation, the place was packed and with good reason.

They did not acknowledge my wife's birthday, though it was noted in the reservation. Here's the food: Arancini - good flavor, odd shape and breading, didn't come with sauce Calamari - slightly overcooked, not that tough but wasn't soft like fresh should be, but it was crispy Caesar salad - very good Side salmon - star of the show, delicious Kids butter pasta - it was fine, the pasta was a little over cooked Flank steak - cooked perfect. I'm not convinced it was flank steak just be the texture, it was leaner than expected but delicious - closer to strip steak. The cold potato salad is an odd choice. Carbonara Pizza - it's not carbonara, it's a breakfast pizza. MAYBE they used guanciale, but it was sliced thin like bacon with a few whole strips, not chunks like you'd expect carbonara. Also had chunks of mozz on it and a poached egg or too. I personally would have made a carbonara sauce as the base and then chunked guanciale on top. A little pepper and parsley to pull it together. Honestly disappointed, carbonara is a top dish for me. Dessert menu is lacking big time. The complementary soft serve gelato was good, not great. The place is fine, I wouldn't go back.
