I have lived in Cape May county all of my life and never found this gem, until now. This will not be my last time. We went for a birthday dinner and had a great meal with a nice view. The food was absolutely fabulous. We had the arugula and pear salad along with the fried mozzarella and pancetta apps. Both were yummy. For dinner we had veal piccata, the short rib special as well as the flounder and risotto specials. Every one was perfect. The service was great as well. The only negative I can say is I love affogato and figured at this authentic Italian restaurant it would be the best I ever had and was disappointed in it however the other two desserts my party had the sorbet and the tiramisu were both yummy.

    Always outstanding! Our go to breakfast spot when in AC-we are addicted to the Jefe Quesadilla although everything is delicious. Nice to have a place nearby using quality ingredients. The staff is excellent-warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Could not be happier that they opened and do our best to visit at least once a week!
