Bizzotto's Gallery-Caffe

We spent a week at the Eastern Shore, and had our best meal at Bizzotto's.  The food was excellent and the staff helpful, friendly, and competent.

After this restaurant was enthusiastically recommended, we looked at the Yelp reviews and were a bit discouraged.  We went anyway and we are happy to report that we disagree with the negative reviews!  We were seated immediately, had warm rolls and drinks a few minutes later.  We split an order of delicately seasoned clams as an appetizer, then split the very large summer salad.  There was no charge for splitting and the citrus vinaigrette was wonderful.  After our main courses of well prepared and presented sea scallops and soft shell crabs we were too full for anything but espresso and hot tea.  Oh, and we enjoyed a nice bottle of sauvignon blanc from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa, one of our favorites.  After 30 years of vacationing in the area, this is our best dining find!

The atmosphere in this restaurant is nice and the staff is polite.  However, service was unbelievably slow.  The food was expensive and pretty good, but not fantastic.  I also don't appreciate the disclaimer on the bottom of the memu "we are not responsible for overcooked meais."  Hunh?  Finally, the servings are very generous, but if you want to split a serving with someone else, they charge you $7.50.
