Incredible and interesting food. Portuguese chicken-wow, Pineapple upside down cake and serradura were terrific together. The pork belly is amazing. Not to be missed on any visit! 4 minute walk.

Fantastic Italian food. Local family owned. Make sure you order the grilled calamari. From heaven I swear. The butternut squash ravioli with butter and fried sage is another favorite.
