Tiny restaurant with huge quality and flavors. We had small plates that were packed with flavor. The quality was evident in... every bite. The wine list was appropriate to the size of the restaurant and the choices were well curated. This is a qualityrestaurant. The staff were available and friendly without being intrusive. Great meal, Will be back! Read more
The seasonal food dishes are top notch. The diversity on the menu is much appreciated. The curated Italian wine list is top... notch. The environment is relaxed and cozy. The staff is down to earth and very on top of the experience. Compliments to thechef, three dishes did not disappoint. Kudos to the chef, simple but balanced ingredients that work very well together. One ofthe very best restaurants in the seacoast! Read more
We eat locally quite frequently. Friday night was the best meal we have had in this area since moving to Eliot 3 years ago. This... restaurant is a must visit with food and wine that you won't soon forget! Read more
Took mom for a lovely pasta dinner. The staff is charming and had excellent suggestions, the Cavatelli was SUPERB! I could've... pigged out but I refrained, great wine selections and desserts are delicious! You can taste the the quality of the ingredients. Read more

Wonderful!! We've been to Italy multiple times so I'm always hesitant to eat Italian in the states. Festina was delicious!... Everything was perfect. The small, cozy atmosphere is so inviting. Read more
The restaurant is a small room so on a busy night, my husband and I had to shout to hear each other over the noise. Appetizers... were tasty but very small plates. I ordered the clams and they were unappetizing and bland. We weren?t happy with and it was anexpensive dish so we sent them back, something we very rarely do. Our server asked what we wanted instead and I ordered areplacement pasta dish. When the bill came, they charged us for both the clams and the pasta and our server let us know that therestaurant owner told her to do so. Overall disappointing and we left hungry after spending nearly $200 on dinner for two. Read more
