You get what most East Pepperell residents drive to Boston for – authentic Italian seafood prepared fresh daily. Our chefs use traditional Abruzzese techniques with premium ingredients, creating dishes like lobster ravioli, seafood risotto, and linguini with fresh clams that actually taste like they came from the Italian coast.
No frozen, pre-prepared chain food here. Every dish starts with fresh seafood and gets the attention it deserves. You’ll taste the difference in every bite, whether it’s our signature scallops with pappardelle or the half-lobster tagliatelle that keeps customers coming back for nearly two decades.
This is the kind of meal that makes you understand why people drive from surrounding towns. Real ingredients, real technique, real flavor.
We’ve been serving award-winning Italian cuisine since 2004, specializing in authentic Abruzzese and Mediterranean seafood dishes. We often bring in chefs directly from the Abruzzo region of Italy to maintain the traditional techniques and flavors that set us apart from typical Italian-American restaurants.
Our founder Anna Mountzuris built our restaurant around a simple concept: exceptional organic ingredients prepared with respect for Italian coastal tradition. That means fresh seafood, house-made pasta, and the kind of attention to detail that East Pepperell residents appreciate when they want something special.
We’ve earned our reputation one meal at a time, with customers who’ve been dining with us for over 15 years. That’s the kind of trust you build when you consistently deliver what you promise.
We start with the freshest seafood available, sourcing from trusted suppliers who understand quality matters. Our chefs prepare each dish to order – no sitting under heat lamps or pre-made portions reheated in a microwave.
Your seafood gets individual attention. Whether you order our signature seafood risotto with arborio rice, scallops, and lobster meat, or the linguini with shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari, it’s prepared fresh when you order it. We make our pasta in-house and use traditional Italian techniques that take time but deliver results you can taste.
The final step is presentation that matches the quality of the ingredients. You’ll see the difference when your plate arrives – this is what Italian seafood should look like and taste like.
