100 out of 10. This place was amazing from the delicious food to the amazing service from our waiter Jamie. His recommendation of the linguini seafood dish (I've forgotten its name in my food coma) was perfectly on point for myself. We were passing through town with the kids and decided to have lunch here. Located in a cute little town and open plaza. We ordered the bruschetta and capellini pasta. Food was excellent and the server was friendly too. we decided to get the crème brûlée too, to top it iff. It was to die for!
