Full rack of lamb ribs: 8 ribs
We had the lobster escargot appetizer and the stacked heirloom tomatoes salad. No other restaurant offers anything similar.Tomato was red ripe and delicious. I had the rack of lamb and though expensive, it was the full 8 ribs. The other entrees (pappardelle with shrimp and scallops) were outstanding. Our server (Linda) was A+ and made the evening perfect.

Upscale Italian in Downtown Salem
I dined here with friends on a weeknight and it was an excellent experience. Our server was attentive, polite and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant and upscale, with live piano music. I enjoyed a drink from the bar while reviewing the menu. The food was served in a timely manner and arrived hot and fresh. Food quality was excellent & I enjoyed a delicious dessert. My friends are wine drinkers and the restaurant had an extensive wine list. I plan to return.

Upscale and delightful
Upscale. Not inexpensive but worth the price. Our waitress/sommelier, Linda, was a delight. Would highly recommend.

Full of Themselves?
Husband ordered the New York strip which was flavorful and very tender. I got the risotto with giant prawns, peas and asparagus. The "risotto" was rice, not creamy whatsover, and the TWO prawns were boiled and overcooked. The asparagus was maybe one tiny spear cut up and about 10 peas. No kidding. Oysters were fresh but the mignonette hadn't mellowed and the shallot was diced too big imo. Dessert was "new" on the menu and it was frittelles. They should have been tender and fluffy but I think they were fried ahead and fried again as they were tough and could not be pierced with a fork without a lot of force and fear they would fly off the plate. Wait staff served and were minimally attentive. All in all, for the price point I expected a much better risotto prepared like risotto and a table that was not in the servers prep area that was noisy, of course we didn't realize that until we were in the midst of dinner. ugh. Both meals were luke warm at best. Beautiful setting but they can do better.

Good food and great service
My wife and I came here for Valentine's dinner. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our entrees were tasty and the dessert was very rich. There was a piano playing in the background, giving a very romantic feel.
