This is authentic Italian food. The owner is from Italy, she is a delightful and amazing lady. The servers are attentive, making sure your food is as expected. There is inside and patio seating with a beautiful view of the mountains. When we are showing off Tucson to our friends, this restaurant is always on our list.

Salmon in the salmon salad was cooked PERFECTLY! Not overdone & naturally tasty. Portions weren't large. Server was good. Prices a bit high, but salmon salad was DELICIOUS.

Decided to give this place another shot on Friday and was disappointed and probably will not be back. The service was mediocre, and the food was just OK. The chicken was not fully cooked and a bit overpriced for the sub par food. My daughter’s pizza was good though, and that’s the only reason why they get three or else it would be a two star review.

Went here with friends. The granddaughter of the founding owners was our server. Charming young lady and she gave us excellent service. I had the corvina special. OMG, it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Moist and tender, just excellent! It was served with steamed carrots and a pasta with a yummy pesto sauce on it. The bread was delicious too. Highly recommend.

I recently dined at this Italian restaurant, and the food was absolutely fantastic! The Caesar salad was a standout – they included capers, which added a delightful burst of flavor, and the dressing was perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend trying their salad.
The true star of the meal, though, was the lasagna with béchamel sauce. It was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious – probably one of the best I’ve had in a while. I’d definitely go back just for the food.
That said, the service left a bit to be desired. Our waitress seemed a little off, forgetting refills for both Diet Coke and water and even the bread at one point. It didn’t ruin the experience, but it was noticeable.
Overall, if you’re in the mood for amazing Italian cuisine and can overlook a few hiccups in service, this place is well worth a visit!

Well,I wish we could find out how good the food was, but when you wait for the Hostess to seat you and nobody acknowledges you for 15,mins. And the place wasn't busy, two couples eating that's all. Never going back.

OMG Finally, an amazing Italian restaurant in Oro Valley. Incredible melts in your mouth !! Not a complaint the chicken Parmesan and veal sooo yummy my belly thanks you
It was my first visit. They had one of my favorite wines, an ancient vine zin from a winery I have visited often. We accompanied the wine with their calamari appetizer, which was both excellent and plentiful. We were going to order the cippiono, but the calamari did in our appetites, so will be the entre next time. Jeff, the bartender was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable.

The food here is beyond fresh, so well prepared, and plated beautifully! Very delicious and really authentic! The service was cheerful, punctual, and the food arrived quickly! It has a very nice family friendly atmosphere and calm feel. We ordered the calamari, pollo taleggio, lasagna, crème brûlée, and cappuccino. All of them were perfect and couldn’t have been improved! The total was $90 and it was plenty for two people. Highly recommend! Will for sure be coming back.

Stopped by off hours to grab a late lunch. I was solo dining and was seated by Daniela. Had a half portion of the caprese salad and gnocchi with bolognese sauce. Both were outstanding. Will return as this is in the neighborhood.
