| - Refined authentic Italian in a sleek spacious dining room with a lovely patio deck. It's on the pricey end, as is everything on the island, but this is more worth the premium. We ate there twice in one week and enjoyed the handmade pasta and gnocchi more than the pizza.
The orecchiette with sausage and sundried tomato was our favorite; smoky and flavorful. The ricotta gnocchi with pumpkin, shiitake, and asparagus was also excellent, although there was very little asparagus and only the stalks, no asparagus tips. The lobster ravioli was good but the creamy tomato/alla vodka sauce it was served with made it difficult to taste the lobster. Our least favorite dish was the margherita pizza, which had very little tomato sauce and mozzarella, and no basil. The desserts we tried - panna cotta, crème brûlée, and molten chocolate cake - were all quite good.
Service is very prompt and helpful with recommendations. The restaurant gets pretty busy, especially on weekends, so make a reservation. We were able to squeeze in by sitting at the bar on our first visit but made sure to call for reservations the second time.
