    Prosciutto and Barratta for appetizer. I had the Lobster Ravioli, Dad had the Pollo Marsalla and Mom had the Lasagna. We shared a bite of each, they were all amazing. The pasta is made in house and so delicate, and the chicken was so tender. The $30-$50 price included one glass of wine, 2 ice teas, and a shared dessert on top of food.

    It was my first time visiting the restaurant and it was amazing. It is a legitimate Italian restaurant for sure. All staff was nice, kind and professional! Definitely going back when it's the special occasion.

    Great family friendly Italian place! They have lots of daily specials to choose from, along with a great daily menu. I came here with my family for my grandma’s birthday and they showered our family with top notch service! The only reason for taking off a star was because my salad was drenched in dressing… and not in a good way. My linguini was also more on the bland side. However, the rest of my family enjoyed their meals. The desserts here are absolutely delicious. So even if you’re not hungry, take some home!

    This was our first time at this little restaurant. Great service & food. My wife had the calamari steak &, just because I'd never tried it before, I had the Wild Boar. Both were quite good. The salads were fine as well. A bit pricier than we're accustomed to, but with the fine ambiance & service, we'll be back again some evening. And, finding a Portuguese waiter in an authentic Italian (Northern Italy I think) restaurant makes it even more interesting. The entire wait staff was well dressed and trained.

    Got dinner here on a whim with a friend and we were so pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing and the staff was so friendly. I got the tortellini which I'm still thinking of weeks later, the ravioli which I had a bite of was very good. We got the calamari and shrimp appetizer which was a generous portion and the tiramisu for dessert which was also so delicious. Was a great experience and I'll be back again and again.

    We've heard the food was great, so we tried them out for our one year wedding anniversary. Wifey loved the fact that they have Italian soda. Everything was great, except a bus boy... He knows what he chuckled at and I have really good hearing, so ya... Might go back 🤷🏽‍♀️

    I’m normally not big on Italian food but my wife loves it. We’ve been a couple of times and I’ve had the braised lamb shank and braised wild bore, muscle appetizer, and all are done to perfection (though the lamb could use a little more flavor in my opinion). Overall it’s a great dinning experience with excellent service.

    Luck was with me when I randomly pulled into this restaurant while looking for a quiet Italian place to enjoy dinner. To boot (to pun intended!), I had the privilege of sitting close to owners and so was able to observe their interactions with each other and wait staff. Impressive! These folks truly are Italiano! The food was delicious, as was the wine, both of which elevated my spirits after a long day. If I return to the area I will definitely visit again. Or maybe I will return to the area with the sole purpose of again feasting in this fine establishment!

    Wonderful experience! The food was authentic and excellent! The service is top-notch! 👌 We had the calamari appetizer, salads, lasagna, and chicken marsala. The wine pairing is excellent! The only suggestion is to buy the wine by the bottle. They serve excellent wine! It was perfect! Can't wait to go back!

    The service, food and ambiance were simply amazing! The wait staff were all so very kind, attentive, welcoming, and knew the menu very well. The food was fresh, flavorful and piping hot. The ambiance was lovely. The walls in the restaurant are painted a nice light blue and the music is not overly loud, just lightly playing in the background. It was a great experience and my husband and I will definitely be returning!

    Wanna try out this place for a while and finally we are here. Lasagna delicious!!!! One of the best lasagna we had and fair price. However, not a big fan of the lamb, the sauce doesn’t goes well with the meat. They recommended bread pudding, tasted like French toast but with ice cream. Excellent customer service and nice environment. Definitely recommend this location for lasagna

    Such great ambience and the kindest staff! Our server was great, very attentive, explained everything to us, great personality. But the owner also stopped by to talk as well as another server. They make you feel welcome and comfortable. Plus the food was great.

    Our first visit tonight, will not be the last. Amazing service, wonderful, flavorful fresh ingredients. Our table of four had the calamari for our starter, pollo marsala, veal piccata, fettuccine bolognese and pescatora... all were delightful. Desserts were the perfect serving size. Service was top notch...Christopher took very good care of us. We will be back.

    We came here for my son's Birthday, it was delicious and amazing! The staff made us feel welcomed with top notch services. The food was amazing too! I haven't had such delicious Italian food in a long time! The desserts were impeccable, we had tiramisu, cannolis, and banana pudding. We are definitely come back! Make a reservation, like we did they do get busy!

    Randomly wanted to try this place after not having a good Italian to go to. We were very impressed and the food was delicious! Even ordered something not on the menu and they had no problem making it! Highly would recommend it!

    Best place to be with family and friends. We had their cold cuts, calamari, wild boar osso bucco and salmon. Very delicious. Their tiramisu was fantastic. Must try restaurant for cheese lovers.

    Fried calamari was amazing! Juicy and tender. Caprese was a bit blend for me. Mushroom risotto and lamb shank are ok. Tiramisu was a bit too sweet
