" What a delightful dining experience! Il Molo is a little hidden gem that my friends and I stumbled upon. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt warm and welcoming. We indulged in a variety of appetizers, including the calamari and oysters, both of which were absolutely delicious. For mains, I had the stuffed trout, which was expertly prepared. The flavors were rich and truly reminiscent of traditional Italian cooking. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent wine pairings. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. I would recommend making a reservation, as it gets busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Your search for great seafood ends here! I tried Il Molo last week and was blown away. The oysters were sweet and perfectly chilled, a true celebration of coastal cuisine. I had the fisherman's risotto as my main course, and it was loaded with fresh fish, clearly highlighting the restaurant's commitment to using quality ingredients. The service was friendly, and we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Il Molo stands out as one of the best seafood dining experiences I've had. The quality of the ingredients shines through, especially in their raw offerings. I was particularly impressed by the freshness of the oysters. The clam chowder is a must-try—creamy and full of big, tender clams. However, my friend who ordered the shrimp linguine mentioned it was a bit too salty for her liking. Overall, a fantastic spot and I'll definitely visit again for those oysters! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been wanting to try out Il Molo for a while, and I finally made it there last weekend. I loved the interior design—it felt upscale but relaxed. I opted for the lobster pasta, which was rich and full of flavor, but I found the portion size a bit lacking for the price I paid. The service was attentive, though, and the staff was quite friendly. Overall, it's a great place if you're in the mood for seafood. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went for dinner during the weekend and loved every second. After starting with the crab cakes, we moved to the fish tacos. Both dishes were fresh and flavorful. Service was prompt, though the restaurant was busy. The atmosphere was lively without being too overwhelming. Would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Il Molo. The decor was understated but elegant, making for a cozy environment. A highlight was the seafood tower, which was beautifully presented and tasted divine. While we were satisfied with the service, some wait times could have been improved. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Il Molo is the place to be! I took my wife here for our anniversary, and it was fantastic. The seafood options were fresh, and the service was impeccable. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was creamy and rich. The combination of flavors was delightful. The ambiance made it extra special for our celebration. Highly recommend this place!
