    Made anniversary dinner reservations weeks in advance. We were promptly seated despite arriving 20 minutes early. Very extensive beverage list including some delicious Italian beers. The roasted beets and octopus salad starters were delicious. Our entrees, the candele Genovese and the Lobster pasta with substituted homemade GF fettuccine were both excellent. Service was quick and attentive despite the considerable Sunday evening dinner crowd. A Torta Caprese, espresso, and an unexpected on the house shot of Lemoncello for each of us for our special occasion was a wonderful way to end a very memorable dinner. We cannot wait to go back!

    Excellent, excellent meal. I thought the batter on the fried zucchini was heavy and gritty but everything, everything else on our plates was exceptional. The room is gorgeous. The service was perfect. When I return to Little Italy, I can't choose another restaurant. I have to return to OB. Thank you
