One of the best Italian and Steak restaurants in Fayetteville. I'm a fan of sitting at the bar and taking a peak at the wood fire. Highly recommend the aged steak but you can't go wrong with anything.

My husband and I had a good experience as the staff was very friendly, and the Food was pretty good along with presentation was great. My only complaint was with the spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti and meatballs tasted very bland. I was surprised that there was little to no flavor in this dish. The drinks, salad, and bread was excellent, but was rather Disappointed there wasn’t more flavor in my dish.

I went here with my boyfriend and my 2 little sisters. We were so excited to try the place. My boyfriend and I shared a pizza. It was so soggy you couldn't pick a piece up without it falling apart. My little sisters shared the lasagna. Completely flavorless. All it tasted like was the beef in it. Then when we told our waitress about how inedible the pizza was she told us the only thing she can do for us is have them remake it. And when I brought up how our appetites are ruined she just brought us the bill. The place was loud you couldn't hear the person sitting next to you. Sucked. Do not recommend and I will never return

The server we had was great, and the food was definitely good. The eggplant appetizer was laughably small for $10, but the steak was very good. However, they add a 3% fee for card payment that is not disclosed anywhere before time to pay. This is unacceptable for a place where you are already paying $30-$60 a person for dinner. We will not be returning solely on this alone.

Very disappointed. Came from out of town to celebrate our daughter’s bday. Had a reservation. Was seated outside in a tent with heaters?!?!?!. No mention of a tent with heaters when we made our reservation. We will not be back.

I have always found the food and service here to be exceptionally good, especially for the price. The ambiance is nothing extra (a little loud), but not bad.

Good food and service. I really like their aged steak, and homemade pasta. The roasted garlic and fresh bread is always so yummy as well.

I know this is Italian restaurant and all, but the dry aged steak is the way to go! What sets their steak apart from others is that is it cooked in a wood fired stone pizza oven! The crust from this cooking process is spot on and perfect for this cut!

Used to be our family standby 3-4x month...tonight now I realize why we don't go as often. Food not as fresh or flavorful as used to be, and service has gotten pretty slow even when not busy. Plus, when do restaurants (who pretty much exclusively need Credit Card payments) start charging 3% for credit card fee? Will they start taking Venmo or Bitcoin now? Stupid!

I really enjoyed my bolognese tagliatelle. Great bread as well. Look forward to returning!

Our son and daughter in law live nearby so we got takeout. We ordered Caesar salads, fettuccine Alfredo, meatballs and spaghetti, chicken Parmesan, and chicken piccata. It was all so delicious! So many places feel pressured to garlic bread. Theirs was just a delicious roll and I loved it. I will definitely try again when I'm back in town!

Service was good, food was pretty mediocre. Four of us were seated for 6pm dinner. Pasta didnt appear to be house made, and my mushroom ravioli was very disappointing. Only 8 flat pieces - in a nice sauce, but they were barely stuffed with mushroom for $22. Chicken piccata was salty and had way too many capers, and for some reason had two pieces of chicken. The chicken Marcella had one piece of over cooked chicken, and really thick noodles that were hard to cut. No one finished their meal except me, a pasta lover who, again, had only eight small ravioli. Ha ha. We had heard this was a go to place, but maybe they were talking about the steaks and specials only.
