Customer Reviews
Standard Italian fare in strip mall building.V very good service from the waitress. Plenty of nice meals, all served with side of pasta. Most potions were very big and plenty of to go boxes filled with leftovers. I tried the meatballs as an appetizer. The marina says was a little tangy and needed longer cooking to tame it. Had a dinner salad with skipjack tuna that was just ok. Will come again to try a pasta dish. Until then, just 3 stars.
Let me start by saying I'm a foodie and very picky about my food, AND I love Italian food. So, when I say my whole meal was delicious, trust that it's worth your time to stop in and give it a try! While the restaurant itself is ok with reasonable decor, the restrooms need some TLC. That being said, the food made me forget all about the ambiance. First, there was some deliciously soft bread served with one of the most flavorful tomato dipping sauces I've ever tasted. When I first saw it, the bread didn't look very appetizing and the sauce looked questionable, but one taste and I was sold! In fact, they should bottle and sell the stuff - I would buy it by the jar!!! The calamari was cooked perfectly! It was super tender and not overly breaded. The rings were nice and thick and tasty. Th
I ordered the chicken alfredo with broccoli both the regular and gluten-free versions and unfortunately the food fell short. The sauce lacked all flavor and reminded me more of something from a hospital cafeteria than a restaurant. The broccoli also didn’t taste fresh, it was definitely frozen. That said, the staff was amazing very friendly and attentive. I think the service was wonderful, but the food itself could really use an upgrade especially for being $45+ for two entrees.
A great little place! The only thing we didn't realize was that we were limited to the lunch menu. Our fault for assuming! Wonderful food in a quiet atmosphere!
Perfect spot for a date night. Service was very fast and food was authentic and sooo good. Honestly I never had better calamari. They were so tender and lightly breaded. It was perfect. I got the pollo pulcinella with light Alfredo, angel hair and bacon added and it was heavenly. Not overly salty or underseasoned. On top of that the staff were very nice and accommodating. I wish they had background music it would’ve made it perfect! But I will be returning!!!
