Sunset is the main event at this restaurant. The terrace faces the evening sky, and diners watch for the green flash as the sun drops. It suits a romantic dinner for two or a group marking an occasion.

The Italian menu leans toward seafood and slow-cooked dishes. Lobster tail comes with house-made ravioli, and the seafood risotto carries clams and octopus. Braised veal shank arrives with saffron risotto, and bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin comes with porcini sauce. For something familiar, there is linguine with mixed seafood or a grandmother-style lasagna.

To reserve a table, give your date, a preferred time, a backup time if you have one, and your party size. The $20 service fee is paid online by PayPal or card, and dinner is paid at the restaurant.
