I took my mom here to eat, I ordered the lasagna and it was honestly one of the very best lasagna's I've ever had. The ladies that waited on us were so friendly and helpful, it's such a cute atmosphere tucked in the back and if you sit outside it's a pretty view of the creek. Such a thoughtful restaurant, they even have a bucket of reader glasses so people that need to borrow them can have an easy time to read the menu, my mom had forgotten hers at home so it was affordable perfect touch. The only thing that was a little disappointing is the price, it was around $50.00 for one lasagna and two sodas, they do give a few small pieces of yummy fresh bread, however a salad or veggies with the lasagna would have been nice since the lasagna portion was very small. It's worth paying more for such quality food, it just would have been nice to have a few fillers so you don't leave hungry after paying that much, however, I would still recommend everyone trying it since everyone that works there is so nice and we had a very nice time eating there.

This restaurant is amazing! The food is incredible, the service was great and the ambiance makes you feel at home! I highly recommend the GNOCCHI AL PESTO BELLA LIGURIA and the panna cotta with Nutella! Do yourself a favor and go!

Realistically, just buy your own food and cook it at home because a lot of these places do not live up to their name and they do not serve how they're supposed to maybe cause of lack of pay to the employees

Unfortunately, not all dishes were good. Calamari was tasteless and the salmon in some orange-flavored sauce was impossible to eat. I sent a full plat back (a $32 dish). Overall, some good food like chicken Marsala and the clams in red sauce, plus pasta with meatballs, but some big letdowns.

I’m writing this review on the drive home. That’s how wonderful our meal was. Delicious elevated Italian food. Not since Biba’s closed have we had such wonderful Italian food. The artichoke beignets were an amazing starter. The braised beef raviolio in a fabulous creamy tomato garlic sauce was one of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had. We we definitely be returning.

Small little place tucked in back of building. The place is quaint and has a nice atmosphere.
Seating outside is on a very small patio with a trickling creek underneath it. Inside is small and crowded.
Thw waitress was great how ever the other staff could care less.
During our wait I noticed homeless under the patio along the creek walking off the hwy and going under the building. Nice...
Took 1 hour and 15 min to get our order. During this time the mosquitoes are out in force that evening.

The table beside us waited well over an hour and 45 minutes for their meals.
Our food was OK at best. My Wife ordered some kind of lemon chicken that was overpowered by lemon. I had a Shrimp and Linguine plate that was below standard.
The dining experience was Pricy for such poor service and basic standard dishes.

I feel the staff should be more tentative to their customers ... when staff walk by somebody's table and their glasses are constantly empty, maybe refill them.
Ask if they need anything else instead of just dropping their food off and walk away and forgetting what was asked fire. My wife never got a refill on her wine. Asked but not received.

The staff Standing near the kitchen BS'n with each other and playing on ur phone isn't a good look while the Waitress is busting her ass trying to stock, manage tables and get things going.
Management should really look into hiring decent staff and a decent cook.
