"6/4/2019 Stopped by for lunch a little before noon. Looked like we were the second set of customers. Started with a 9 oz. Ruffin Chianti Classico. Lorenza and I both ordered lunch combos. I had a Caesar salad and Shrimp Fra Diablo and Lorenza had a Lobster Bisque and Eggplant Parmigiana with angel hair pasta. We ordered 3 Calamari Frittis, 3 Shrimp Napoli appetizers with 3 Lobster Bisques and a Shrimp Fra Diablo pasta and Lobster Ravioli to go for our hungry family. Service was great but noticed the Fra Diablo was made with a different pasta and was more tomatoey. Calamari was processed to look like fries. Our Granddaughter misses the tentacles. I suspect they made this change since prior Calamari has been s little dry and chewy. Still good overall but concerned the food was less authentic. Reduced rating from 5 Star to 4 Star. Decided to have lunch with our son and grandchildren. Our server, Monica, went above and beyond in providing excellent service in all way. My wife and I arrived early and ordered 3 each of the Calamari and Crispy Shrimp Napoli appetizers. A favorite again. We ordered apple juice for the kids and she brought out 2 1/2 cups and apologized that it was there last and said they could order other juices when they ran out. The rolls and dipping oil were excellent as always as was the Lobster Ravioli, Spicy Scallops Marinara, Shrimp Alfredo and of course the Lobster Bisque. Needless to say we had plenty of leftovers for latter. Again Thank You Monica for your attentive service."
