    My companion and I both enjoyed the Frutti di Mari. Lots of shrimp, calamari, mussels and delicious pasta. This restaurant is a little gem. Our server Angelina was delightful and responsive. Parking is easy nearby. We ate at a more upscale restaurant the following night and that experience was not nearly as enjoyable and much worse bang for the buck. We will definitely return the next time we are in TC.
