The ice cream had melted, separated, and replaced in their freezer. The young lady serving dropped one of the containers on the floor and ended up serving it anyway. A bad experience.

We’ve dined in before and have always had a great experience. Ordered take out this time and ran into an issue with redeeming rewards points from our account. The manager resolved it for us and I wanted to give him a shout out for his exceptional customer service! We had the veggie lasagna and chicken Marsala. Both were excellent dishes and we can’t wait to come back to try their homemade gelato!

The service and atmosphere were great, the food was not to my liking. There were no issues but the food was really bland in my opinion. We tried about 5 different items. 2 apps and 3 entrees but I wouldn’t go back again.

This is by far mine and my boyfriend’s favorite Italian restaurant. We make it a point to come here after we leave Piedmont Park. I have not had a bad dish at all.

Super friendly wait staff, who work as a team, total neighborhood feel. They are very attentive and knowledgeable about the food & wines. Love the meatballs, pastas and fresh salads. 1/2 bottles of vino on Wednesdays!

My new favorite spot for pasta! I tried the smoked salmon linguine and it was delicious. They have a wide selection of wine, and the gentleman who waited on us took exceptional care of us. This is a must visit spot if you're looking for exceptional food, service, and a relaxing environment to unwind in!

What a hidden gem 💎 We tried the meatball appetizer, smoke salmon linguini 😋 , lamb ragu, and the chesse ravioli, and it was amazing! The wine selection was outstanding, and the ambiance was friendly and inviting. They even have a small store attached that sales ice cream.

Unfortunately, the pasta and the shrimp were overcooked. Maybe it was just a bad night

The ambiance was warm and inviting, with plenty of indoor plants that added a charming touch. Every dish we tried was packed with authentic flavors and served in generous portions, perfect for one person. There were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from, and the Tiramisu was absolutely delicious!

My phone was dead so I wasn’t able to take any pictures but the food here was amazing!! We had the pappardelle with chicken and garlic cream sauce and the pappardelle with marinara and Italian sausage!! Food was fantastic!! Even the Italian cheese stick was phenomenal!!
Definitely would give 10 stars if I could!! This place from me gets the hood Michelin Star!! If you guys are ever in Decatur, come check out this dimly lit, cute, corner restaurant! You won’t be disappointed.
