However, an order is 5 small olives and costs $5.00 Yikes. I know Nantucket's expensive, but that seemed a lot. The polpette star was very good, but again expensive for what you get. My husband was really impressed with his steak. The braided lamb paste was delicious. My duck was properly cooked and was a big part. All in all, we would return and try some of the other things on the menu.

The young geese they rent are pleasant, but there were long gaps when I didn't pay attention to anyone (despite try.) And they forgot until later in the meal to bring out a soft drink for our daughter when I had to remember her. 2. and less is a large Italian restaurant, but would like to see less beef and more pasta and other lighter tariff.

Many people had recommended the fried stuffed olives, so we decided to give them a try. They were indeed delicious, but at $5.00 for 5 small olives, they seemed a bit pricey. The polpette starter was tasty, but also on the expensive side. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak, while I savored the braised lamb pasta. My duck was perfectly cooked and the portion size was generous. Overall, we would consider returning to try other items on the menu.
