    salmon
    Mckenzie B.

    The dinner and service was exceptional. I came here with my family and everything was amazing. I got the angel hair pasta and it was both spicy and delicious. My sister got the salmon and she said it was cooked perfectly. The drinks came out quickly and the menu was very diverse. The ambiance was amazing and the dinner was one of the best i've had in a while.

    menu was limited if your an old fashion Italian food eatery , had no veal or chicken parmigiana , so strike one . They make chicken piccata , so they could be make chicken parmigiana. They did offer a great tasting calamari appetizer made with corn meal breading . Different but very good I loved their bolognese meat sauce and they offered an angel hair but I was talked into trying the stuff cheese tortellini with meat sauce . Wasn't a fan but the meat sauce was good Wife had grouper with mash I tried it , wife liked it, i wasn't a fan , guess I just wanted my chicken parmigiana with angel hair Bolognese Tried for desert there tiramisu. Again , speciality restaurant so made differently , it was good but for me too Much whip creme and not enough lady fingers Overall there food s good but not my kind of Italian I will say after an afternoon on the golf course , I wish there chairs at the table had cushions Most uncomfortable hard chairs , Too many Italian restaurants out there , more my style to return to this place

    Beautiful presentation and even more tasty!

    **Attention all residents and visitors of any beach in easy distance to Santa Rosa Beach!!!** Fresh, made in-house pasta and sauces! Sit tight, I've got some major raving for this one! We began with what turned into a 4-course meal; the veal meatballs, wild mushroom ravioli, and fried calamari. Between the 5 of us, we each had a taste of each option and they were all incredible. The ravioli was by far my favorite--save the house made focaccia bread for the ravioli broth! We all enjoyed salad options as our second course. A couple of us chose the mix greens, others chose Caesar and the arugula salads. Fresh and not one bit of wilted lettuce found. The dressing were obviously made in-house as well. DELICIOUS! I ordered the off-menu option, the Priscilla. Their homemade bolognese sauce, blended with crushed red pepper mixed with angel hair pasta--highly recommend if you enjoy a little kick in the pallet. A few other table favorites included the 3-Meat Bolognese (traditional) and another ordered the antipasti pan-seared scallops as their renter and though small portion, it was quite decadent and flavorful. Lastly, we thoroughly enjoyed both the tiramisu and chocolate crème brûlée. We couldn't choose between the two, and they were both totally worth the indulgence! During the slower beach season, it was an easy walk in and sit, but I can guarantee the crowds flock during the peak seasons. Service was very menu savvy, and our server was incredible! I believe our serve's name was Grant--hopefully correct! The one portion of the evening that was right at par and not the most memorable would be the cocktails. Though fresh ingredients-based, still pretty basic. Always ending on a good note, I recommend this to all who have the opportunity to visit this unique area!

    Wow wow wow. A friend at the pool recommended that we try this place during our recent 30A visit. He said it was a "best-kept local secret". You do have to call to make a reservation, but that is pretty typical on 30A. Our waiter mentioned that this is one of the last owned and operated restaurant by chefs. The chefs looked up and wavbed to us from the open kitchen. I was a little surprised seeing that they only have a 4.1 star average, because our food was exceptional. My sister had the special (bolognese and cream added), I had the chicken picatta, my other two guests had the eggplant lasagna and the shrimp with angel hair. We were so impressed and truly grateful a local gave us the recommendation. Thank you for the hospitality and great food! PS the espresso martini is great!

    I can see why this place is attractive. The front courtyard is landscaped, the outdoor patio has plenty of space and heaters, and the bar area is long and comfortable. They allow dogs in the patio area - a bonus. And oddly, the "restaurant" wall side (of the patio) is a glass enclosure of the Lululemon store. I'm not sure I've ever seen this type of collaboration before (sitting next to racks of athletic wear while eating $$$ food). The patrons were happy and friendly; and the staff was attentive. And the service was good. But sadly, I wouldn't go out of my way to return. I would be fine eating here again in a general "follow the crowd" type of way because there's nothing wrong with the restaurant, but there was no wow factor. **I say this as a traveling non-local who's eaten at a plethora of restaurants. -- For all I know, it may be the best restaurant/option in this town. The reason I'm not drawn back is while the food was fresh, it was very bland. I was stunned that fish (grouper) with olives and artichokes was "bland" which also makes me doubt it's $30+ price tag. I'm so surprised by the lack of taste bud explosion with this dish. The pre meal bread and oil was a low wow factor as well. (the dessert was delicious!) Bring cash! They make you pay a 4% surcharge for using plastic. Or as they put it, you get a "discount" for paying cash (which is the price on the menu). Another oddity for a restaurant of this echelon. All is all - the $64 pricetag for water, 1 meal, 1 dessert, and tip (and surcharge) wasn't worth it.

    Overall it was just okay to us. We made reservations and I told them it was for our wedding anniversay. The lady told me she had the perfect table for us in the back corner, dim lighting, etc. When we got there, we were sat at a different table because the table she had in mind had someone's dog stroller and shopping bags sitting on it. So instead we sat at the Lululemon store, which is just so odd to me sitting next to clothes and people shopping, and very very bright lights. This wasnt romantic in the slightest, but oh well. For a place that is reservation recommended and only open minimal hours, I expected something a lot nicer than sitting on the front porch of the Lululemon store. The menu is definitely overpriced for what you get. You only get one basket of four pieces of bread, and after that you have to pay six dollars for bread. The most disappointing was the $21 scallops appetizer, that only comes with 3. Literally 3 scallops......wow The pasta we got was good, but nothing special. Doesnt come with salad, had to pay extra. We have no reason to go back.

    Food was amazing!!! I had some kind of Angel hair pasta with white sauce. It was so good. The bread was delicious. The waitress was awesome as well. I ordered a mocktail because I was pregnant and the first one was not good that I originally got from the bar while waiting for a table. The waitress fixed it without really asking her. She was very observant and caring! I still think about this food. Give it a try!

    This was the best meal we had during our week stay on 30A. The focaccia was delicious. Our table had a Caesar salad, the penne with hot Italian sausage, the chicken linguine (the best dish!), and the chicken piccata. Their Aperol spritz was also really good. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. We sat on the screened in porch at sunset and it was perfect. We will definitely be back!

    We made a reservation for 8 pm and showed up 60 mins early. They didn't seat us until our reservation time but we enjoyed a bottle of wine on the outdoor seating area. It was very crowded and busy. Once we got seated indoors the space was too loud and hard to enjoy our dinner. Our server was great. Wish we could've just eaten outside.
