   First time to the restaurant. Lovely main dining room ambiance. Great service from our Italian waiter. Starters: Burrata & Prosciutto was excellent Fritto Misto- very good Entrees: Strozzapreti- so-so. Nothing special Gnocchi- not good. Over cooked, rubbery. Don’t recommend Enzo's Favorite Branzino- excellent Dessert: PANNA COTTA- excellent Pistacchio Cake- excellent. Moist and delicious Cannolo Siciliano- not great. Dry Drinks: ROSSINI- nice, refreshing PAPER PLANE- pretty good POSITANO ESPRESSO MARTINI- tasty Overall, great evening. I am glad we sat inside vs outside. We will be back to try the lunch menu.

   The featured special, seafood stew, was extraordinary, a feast for the eyes and delicious. This charming restaurant is a favorite.

   Very nice waitress very accommodating. I liked the fact that they split our salads in the kitchen. We ordered bread for the table- no great shakes- Very nice meal and pace of dinner.

   Very expensive for the quality. I was there with friends and tried their dishes too and nothing we ordered was super good. Just okay. We were seated in a plastic covered patio and it was raining so it was loud and the ground was quite wet. I can see how this might be a cute place on a sunny day. I also didn’t like that they charge you for employee health care. Sheesh-as if the prices weren’t enough! When I asked about my dish not being very good, my waitress explained that this was the traditional way of making it. I’ve never had a carbonara so thick and gloppy. She offered to bring me something else but I refused. So she said maybe someone else at home might enjoy it. She was very nice and her service was very good. I’m just salty that we paid so much for a meh meal.

   Arrived for our Saturday 5:45 table which we had changed the day before from 2 to 3. Could not make that change on open Table so I called the restaurant who updated it immediately. The restaurant was very busy already and we were seated in a covered outside area with a heater that worked well. We ordered two cocktails and wine. They customer the espresso martini to add chocolate to it - a very nice touch. I had a Paper Airplane - well presented and tasty. The Italian wines we had by the glass were both delicious - one from Tuscany and the other Veneto. We had the Burrata/Prosciutto appetizer then 3 pasta dishes. The Strozzepreti and Lasagne were excellent. We finished with two excellent desserts - a chocolate one new on the menu and a tarte. Service was very attentive. We had couple of noisy tables near us - a birthday for 8 and 4 young women celebrate something that added to the noise which otherwise would have been much more subdued. We had a great time on this visit. I would recommend to others. The inside is very nice when you can get a table but is more bustling.
