    I love their food sooo much, I've been to 3 of their locations. The pasta sauce is amazingly delicious, their meatballs are really good, and I highly recommend their manicotti! The bread and garlic butter is very good too! This was my first time trying their espresso martini, and I'll definitely order that again in the future! Our service was wonderful, and we had a great evening eating dinner here! I love the fact that they can open the restaurant up in the summer too, by opening that big door (but they put a screen up, so no bees or flies get in)..such a great idea!

    Our waitress was very nice they also have a nice wine section. The bread 🍞 was freshly made, ribs was falling off the bones, the lasagna was delicious also , fettuccine was good also. Everything tastes fresh. The setting was clean and comfortable.

    First time to this location and I wasn't disappointed. Decided to go with the Ravioli as my main. Flavor was very good, tomato sauce slightly sweet, cheese perfectly browned. I also decided to try the ribs, I was a bit disappointed with how much BBQ sauce was on them, it made it almost completely impossible to taste the actual ribs. My wife thought the fettuccine with palomino sauce and fresh mushrooms was extremely good.

    I’ve lived in SE Michigan pretty much my whole life and never went to this gem till today. Let’s start with how it’s decorated- I like the old family photos, Roman busts, and the motor scooter on the walls. It’s also spotless inside and out. The food is incredible ! They use very fresh ingredients (no brown lettuce in my salad) and the sweet tomato sauce is like no other. Eggplant parm is perfectly done. And the round loaves of bread baked in their beautiful oven are great for sharing

    Not sure where to begin everything was so bad. The waitress took a long time to get our drink and appetizer order. Ill just add now the bread and 4 cheese sauce dip was good, but the meals were both cold like they sat under the warmer waiting to be served. The pasta sauce is unlike any sauce we have had before it was very sweet and had no spice or real flavor to speak of. When the waitress found time to make it back to our table she simply said thats the way the sauce is and usually everyone loves it. So after eating the bread and cheese dip we just paid the bill and left. If the sauce is indeed supposed so sugary sweet, and you like sauce that way, then this may be the place for you. But the food being cold and the waitress inattentive at best makes this a no go for us in the future.

    I’m not a fan of pizza because so very rarely is it made with care. The pizza here is the best in the area. Holly the bar tender took great care of us, she’s exactly what a great bar tender needs to be. Altogether a great experience, highly recommended

    First time visiting this location for dine-in and out waiter, Dominic was Amazing. Waited our table in a timely manner, spoke very well, communicated well with our order status and the food was very amazing, returned a 2nd time after and this will always be a go to spot! Highly recommend!

    I love going to the Grand Blanc location and having dinner with my parents. Service and atmosphere is always fantastic. There cheese dip for their bread is absolutely amazing. LOVE their salad and every pasta dish I've had has been great!

    Delicious food! My husband and I just enjoyed lunch that we ordered from there. We had chicken soup, barbecue chicken with potatoes and broccoli, salad, meat sauce and bread. Everything was so good, I want to go back for dinner!

    We had a large party this afternoon and are extremely happy with our visit. Our server was amazing and attentive. The food was delicious and we had very large portions. Even with a large party we received our food and drinks quickly without issue. Thank you so much for a lovely time.

    We have dined in a few times and had no issues, only positive things to say. We tried takeout tonight and we were all disappointed, across the board with service and food quality. I won't get into details but they were shared privately with the restaurant. I am not really a review poster but this experience stuck out to me. I tried to privately contact the restaurant to share feedback and received an email from the owner stating, "We deny 3 complaints regarding this order." and that's all. I cannot understand how it is possible to run a business without being open to some feedback? Disappointing. I am available and they have my contact information if I can be helpful. Edited to add: The owner contacted me to clarify and the restaurant made the situation right, honestly, over and above what I expected.

    Fantastic!! My husband and I just had dinner here for the first time and we were more than happy with everything. Food was Vert tasty and well presented. Service was exceptional ( I wish I’d have asked her name because she deserves the kudos). E we had the Ricotta with honey and walnuts appetizer and it was delicious. The house bread is incredible AND FRESH. Hubby had seafood pasta with Alfredo sauce and ate every bite. I had the Caesar salad with blackened chicken and it too, was delicious. We look forward to going back. I want to try the pasta and hubby wants to try the pizza. Hopefully I will get pictures next time as the presentation is nice as well. I only took one pic of our half eaten appetizer. We were too busy enjoying our food to get pics. Lol Thank you for the great meal, atmosphere and service.

    I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while but this is an excellent restaurant! I took my son here and had a great experience. I’m of an Italian background, so I can get a bit picky about Italian food. It was awesome. Everything was fresh and cooked well, and my eggplant parmigiana was delicious. My son loved the fettuccine Alfredo too, and the salad was amazing. It’s beautiful inside and while we aren’t picky about service, it was fantastic. I highly recommend it!

    Holly is amazing! She provides excellent service and makes incredible drinks. She always makes me feel like I’m the most important customer there!

    The ravioli and Chicken Parmesan are pretty good. The portions are huge. Definitely had enough for another meal.

    Got takeout. The formaggio dip is amazing!! Really liked the braided bread too. Highly recommend. The red sauce is EXTREMELY sweet. Not my favorite but it had some other good flavors to it, just way too sweet for my liking. The meatballs were really mushy though. Would love to try other sauces as long as they’re not as sweet as the red sauce.

    Wow! First time visiting this restaurant and I’m impressed. I just ordered pick up from here tonight for the first time and it was super yummy. The pasta sauce is super delicious. Also, I tried a bite of the meatball and it was super good. We will be making a trip back for sure.

    My husband and I come here pretty regularly. We usually sit at the bar and Brandon (I think it’s his name) usually takes care of us. Very friendly and helpful. Their pasta sauce is amazing, we usually order the sauce to go. The ribs are amazing and so is their baked pastas! This is from the Menza Menza section. Baked Alfredo and Mostaccioli. They have live music on Friday or Saturday nights as well.
