This is my absolute new favorite if you are anywhere near Lake Mary or the Orlando area. We ordered three appetizers. Had wine and cocktails and everything was delectable. The service was beyond amazing and the staff made us feel like family. I am usually extremely picky and always find at least one fault….i could not find one and this place. It makes me want to move to Florida. I can’t wait to go back!

(Added) We came here for the 1st time a few weeks ago. The atmosphere and food was amazing. My husband is very picky and he practically licked his dish clean. Highly recommend the gnocchi pasta amd the Seafood Diavolo(sp).

The restaurant was hosting a large group for a party. There was loud music and it was very noisy. We got there at 6:45 and didn’t get food until 8:30. We got one drink in the beginning and then no one came back to offer an other drink until shortly before our food was served. Our water was never refilled. The food quality was mediocre. The chicken piccata was soaked in sauce and the angel hair pasta with it was soft and soaked in the sauce. The house side salad had only cherry tomatoes in it and romaine lettuce. They were not staffed to handle the large party and additional guests. They should have been closed to additional guests and just handled the big party. I will never go back.

A very so so experience. I needed yo remind the waitress to remove the menus after we had ordered. Wine was delish. Pasta was not al dente, but the chicken was tender. My husband’s meal, which they classily removed from the tab, had not al dente pasta and mushy meatballs. And there is a standard between mushy and firm. Loose is good mushy is not. There are many better Italian choices.

Very upscale yet cozy. The service was top tier and I plan to revisit soon. The owner was very nice.
