Salem, Massachusetts
Handmade pasta, day-boat seafood, and a wine list that leans Ligurian — served in a candlelit room where nobody rushes your evening.
Dinner, Tuesday through Sunday
House-rolled tagliatelle with Jonah crab, Calabrian chili butter, lemon, and toasted breadcrumbs.
Whole roasted branzino with fennel, Castelvetrano olives, blistered cherry tomatoes, and salsa verde.
Ricotta gnocchi with Ipswich littlenecks, white wine, garlic confit, and fresh oregano.
Carnaroli risotto with Gloucester scallops, shrimp, mussels, and a saffron-tomato brodo.
Dry-aged porterhouse for two, grilled over hardwood with rosemary, sea salt, and charred lemon.
Amalfi lemon tart with mascarpone cream, candied pistachio, and a splash of limoncello.
Menu changes with the catch and the season. Chef's tasting available Tuesday through Thursday.





“We came for our anniversary and stayed three hours. The branzino was perfect and nobody so much as glanced at their watch. This is what a date-night restaurant should be.”
“The tagliatelle with crab is the best pasta I've had north of Boston, full stop. Ask for a seat by the window at sunset — the harbor light is unreal.”
“They handled our party of ten in the private room without a hitch — set menu, wine pairings, the works. Our out-of-town family is still talking about it.”
Two blocks from Pickering Wharf, across from the Derby Street lantern posts. The bar seats walk-ins from 5 PM.

Absolutely. Most pastas can be made gluten-free with a day's notice, and the menu always carries vegetarian dishes. Note allergies in your reservation request and the kitchen will plan around them.
Our harbor-view private room seats up to 24 for rehearsal dinners, birthdays, and corporate dinners, with set menus starting at $85 per person. Email us for the events packet.
Smart casual — most guests dress up a little for the room, but there's no jacket requirement. We're a date-night spot, not a stuffy one.
Tell us your party size, preferred date, and any occasion we should know about — we confirm every request by phone within a few hours. For same-night tables, call us directly.
