Honestly 10/10. A small dining room allows this kitchen to take true care with every single dish and it shows. Every appetizer we got ( the carrots, burrata, and focaccia) were so fresh and light and you could tell were very high quality. The ambiance here is local and tasteful. The wine was perfect with every dish and exceeded all expectations. The baked cannelloni had such fresh pasta, you could see them making it in the kitchen. As a local in the Portsmouth area, this is the best Italian food I’ve ever had in the area. Go here!!!! Since it’s small there’s sometimes a wait so grab a drink across the street at the Dram while you wait!!!

I hate to tell people about this place for fear that I will never be able to get in! It is very small, but the food is terrific. If you’re lucky enough to get a seat. The Cannelloni is to die for if you’re looking for something hearty. However, the Cacio Pepe is perfect if you want something a little lighter,

The food was mediocre, the portions were small and a very poor value for the price.

The seasonal food dishes are top notch. The diversity on the menu is much appreciated. The curated Italian wine list is top notch. The environment is relaxed and cozy. The staff is down to earth and very on top of the experience. Compliments to the chef, three dishes did not disappoint. Kudos to the chef, simple but balanced ingredients that work very well together.

Tiny restaurant with huge quality and flavors. We had small plates that were packed with flavor. The quality was evident in every bite. The wine list was appropriate to the size of the restaurant and the choices were well curated. This is a quality restaurant. The staff were available and friendly without being intrusive. Great meal, Will be back!

Not sure I have words to express! Yum doesn’t seem quite adequate for the sublime flavors and combos coming from this kitchen. What a treat. Thank you.

at least they stayed open until 9… and the wine was good, service was great.

The restaurant is a small room so on a busy night, my husband and I had to shout to hear each other over the noise. Appetizers were tasty but very small plates. I ordered the clams and they were unappetizing and bland. We weren’t happy with and it was an expensive dish so we sent them back, something we very rarely do. Our server asked what we wanted instead and I ordered a replacement pasta dish. When the bill came, they charged us for both the clams and the pasta and our server let us know that the restaurant owner told her to do so. Overall disappointing and we left hungry after spending nearly $200 on dinner for two.

Wonderful!! We’ve been to Italy multiple times so I’m always hesitant to eat Italian in the states. Festina was delicious! Everything was perfect. The small, cozy atmosphere is so inviting.

Took mom for a lovely pasta dinner. The staff is charming and had excellent suggestions, the Cavatelli was SUPERB! I could’ve pigged out but I refrained, great wine selections and desserts are delicious! You can taste the the quality of the ingredients.
