Some of the best Italian food we have ever had. I had the eggplant lasagna with sausage on top. Wonderful flavors and presentation. The service was outstanding from the waiter to having the owner come over and chat with us. Genuine as you will ever find. Did I mention the homemade bread they serve with some oil and balsamic drizzle as you sit down!! In a small strip mall location but don't pass it by, you will miss a real treat.

I recently went here with a larger group (7) and they were able to accommodate us immediately. I’m a BIG fan of Italian food, so i was extremely excited to try homemade food instead of going to a standard chain, and let me tell y’all: THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, almost feels like being hosted at the chefs home. We were recommended a couple favorites from the menu (everything delicious!) and the chef was also very knowledgeable about wine. I personally had the house soup (had to share some with everyone at the table because it was so good), and then a chicken parmigiana sandwich. The portions are really nice, and the sandwich was super delicious. The homemade focaccia was probably my favorite thing about my whole meal. Desserts were equally as decadent. We had tiramisu, gelato, limoncello cake, and chocolate almond cake for the table and I genuinely can’t choose a favorite. I cannot wait to go back!!

Well what a great meal and amazing stories. We are in town for a gymnastics competition and my daughter requested Italian. It's valentines evening they were able to squeeze us in and wow we are so happy. The food was great plenty of it and it was family style good. We enjoyed a great bottle of red wine. The owner talked about where he came from and the thoughts for how he built the menu. If and when we are in the area we will Be back again. empty plates from all of us

This local restaurant has food that is absolutely delicious. I’m usually scared of Alfredo sauce and gnocchi for being too heavy, but this pasta was one of the best!! The gnocchi was soft and light and went so well with the Alfredo sauce which was smooth and flavorful without being sharp. The salad with fig marmalade and the pizza was delicious too! What amazing flavor to the classics with all three of these plates! The gnocchi is a MUST TRY!

This is a great place for home made food. Pizza is great too. Visited again and food and services were great. Everything is made from scratch and is perfect. Meg is great and also puts a smile on my face. Great food and great service too. This was very delicious soup and main course. Wow. Very authentic. You need to go and try this place.

This place serves freshly made Italian style food. It’s a family own, so the service will always feel personalized. During weekends, it gets packed and the seating sometimes gets very limited. I would call and reserve first or show up early. It’s in a plaza, so parking it’s not a problem. 5 stars because is really a bang for the buck. You really get more than what you pay for. I would def recommend it.

If you are looking for true Authentic Italian Cuisine, look no further. This place is amazing, from the decor to the service, and the food is amazing! Today I had the pizza, I can’t wait to try the other dishes. Highly recommended!

Small family owned and operated restaurant serving fresh authentic Italian cuisine in a casual environment! I am so happy to have found this restaurant! First one I find serving real Italian food. The owner and the waitress are super friendly. Food is delicious and there are plenty of free parking. The restaurant is easy to miss if you are driving by because it is not visible from the road. We ordered a beef carpaccio, A risotto funghi, Lasagna Di Melanzane, and a calzone. Everything was delicious but our favorite was the carpaccio! For dessert we ordered the Chocolate Amaretto Cake, baked by the owner's wife, which was delicious! A great option for a Saturday lunch with the whole family. We are coming back! Super recommended!
