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!!! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
What a wonderful place for a date night. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. The pasta dishes were so fresh and we loved every bite. Service Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had not eaten here in several years. We will be back again soon. Go early if you can to be assured a seat. Like Black Birch across the street no reservations but that's to be expected for such a tiny space. Service was efficient yet relaxed. All our food was exceptional but the "simple" mushrooms app (kale, whipped goat cheese, sweet vermouth)...ooo mommy! Very reasonable prices, especially considering the quality of the food.

I think their pasta is probably the best in the country. I cook pasta for a living (a college student) and I am somewhat of a pasta connoisseur. It’s cheaper to make it from scratch I have learned, too! It becomes easier. But never will my pasta get to the level of this. I will strive for perfection nonetheless.

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.

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.
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. One of the very best restaurants in the seacoast!

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! Service Dine in
The food was mediocre, the portions were small and a very poor value for the price. I had the Gnocchi with root vegetables. There was only one root vegetable in the dish which was undercooked, crunchy potatoes. It also had red pepper, which was nice, but not a root vegetable. The wine was good, and the service pleasant enough. We will not be going back, and I do not recommend this restaurant. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner
