Frommer's Review

An in-the-know crowd of locals and visitors flocks to this delightful Italian restaurant with an open-air terrace. If you don't want to hear street noise, head inside. First-rate ingredients, style, and flavorful dishes make for a winning combination. Our party recently ordered an array of appetizers, sampling such delights as an eggplant tower (layers of eggplant, fontina, and mozzarella topped with marinara), black mussels in white wine, garlic, and plum tomatoes, and lump crab cakes with a roasted pepper aioli. The pastas are the island's best, especially the lobster ravioli with wild mushrooms and toasted pine nuts or the basil-infused linguine with swordfish stuffed with lump crab. Tuck into such fish dishes as a pistachio-encrusted mahimahi or pan-seared black grouper with a sauce flavored with orange and fresh basil. Their veal shank (osso buco) is slowly simmered in red wine, tomato, and veal stock and is a welcome departure from all the Caribbean spices and flavors.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
