We had an awesome visit. I love the lasagna. They had several specials that sounded great but I stick to the lasagna. My wife had crab ravioli that was excellent. Our server was super awesome and nice! She was funny, attentive and fun to chat with. We were blessed with an incredible sunset! amazing view every time but this night was special. Prices are great compared to other places. Love it here
Jason served us in a timely fashion rattling off the specials as if he'd been taught them at a young age. The simple ravioli is a favorite of mine though, delicious, well portioned. Calamari fritti and a salad before the main dish. Food cane out hot with a clever joke fashioned for a real pasta lover (who ordered the ravioli? (we both did)). Worth dining in for a delicious meal and great ambiance.
Food and service was excellent. The bread and oil starter was great with our house red wine. The spinach and prawns appetizer salad was excellent. Both our entrees were flavored well and both the chocolate mousse desserts were worth coming back just for them!!
Great service with fabulous food. I ordered the special Chilean Sea Bass on pasta Alfredo. The food was fresh, hot and with a large serving of perfectly seasoned and prepared flakey sea bass. The pasta was fresh, perfectly cooked with ample sauce. Cocktails were well prepared, promptly served and appropriately refilled. Service was excellent! We'll be back!
Went Friday 2/07 with a friend. I always ask for Andi's table as she is the very best. i had one of the specials that day, the Fusilli Boscaiola. Something I had never had before and it was delicious. Will order again if they have it. Had a glass of Poggio Vignoso Chianti with it. So much food, I needed another glass of wine and had the Pallidio Chianti. My friend had the seafood special which was a mixture of clams, mussels, shrimp and salmon on a bed of creamy pasta, with a beer. He raved about it. The service was excellent and prompt. We had water and delicious bread with a herbed olive oil quickly. I asked for a small dish of the balsamic and it was promptly brought out. The restaurant was about 2/3 full from 5 when we arrived to after 7 when we left. We had a window seat and enjoyed the view over the water and the lights on Henderson Bay. Casual crowd. Moderate prices. If you like Italian food, we both highly recommend Massimo's. They have an extensive menu and wine list.
