It’s been a few years since we visited Italy, so I was genuinely looking forward to this place—but the experience didn’t sit right with me. We arrived to find multiple empty tables both inside and outside, yet were told there would be a 25-minute wait. We stood there visibly confused—there was no line, no one waiting ahead of us, and clearly several open tables.
The vibe just felt off. I won’t speculate on the reason, but it was enough for me to say, “Nah, I’m good,” and walk out.
Maybe it was a fluke or just poor communication, but either way, that’s not how a welcoming dining experience should feel.

Love this place. Food is always on point and cocktails are terrific.
We had a reservation for this visit and were seated promptly on arrival. My penne burrata was great and my wife enjoyed her pesto pasta special as well.
We’ll be back!
The only knock was pacing as our entrees came out when we’d just started our salads, but that was a minor nit to us.

We drove almost an hour to get here, and it did not disappoint!
It’s a small, super cute spot with amazing food and drinks. Junior is a seriously talented mixologist—we probably ordered way too many of his drinks, but it was so fun watching him do his thing.
I had the Carbonara with salmon, and my husband got the spicy seafood Amatriciana (I’m pretty sure it’s just because I’m allergic and he didn’t want to share!). Both dishes were so good, and the portions were amazing . We also tried the goat cheese ravioli to start—delicious.
I wish I had taken some food pics, but hey, we’ll just have to come back. And we definitely will!

Ordered spaghetti and meat balls. Spaghetti was soggy, meatballs were dried out and burned, sauce had issues. This was the second try of this basic dish.

Had such a great dinner with family here! Food & service were *chefs kiss*! My favorite dish was the goat cheese raviolis. They also have Mocktail options for those who do not drink. Loved it!

Five stars all around for this restaurant. Great food, personable servers, nice atmosphere. I recommend eggplant Parmesan, Sicilian Chicken soup, Lasagna, Shrimp Scampi, and Tiramisu.

Great food, wonderful wait staff, beautiful restaurant. I've only had 3 meals there, but each one was hot, fresh and tasty. Highly recommended, but consider making reservations because the good word is out on this fairly new addition. Keep up the amazing standard!
Nice atmosphere, attentive service, GREAT food, expect a relaxed pace in this quaint little gem, this far exceeds your typical chain Italian restaurant

Second time Return not as good as the first.
I visited this restaurant when it first opened, being skeptical and picky about Italian food, I didn’t think there would be a good authentic option in the south. My first time I was blown away, the drinks, the food and decor was all very nice. Very authentic food and I was pleasantly surprised.
Came back for a second visit, with high hopes from the first for a Valentines date.
The arancini balls were not fresh tasting, it had an unpleasant aftertaste, both Pastas were extremely bland and lacked flavour. The first visit was packed with flavour and freshness!
Sadly I feel like there is a new chef or just some corners cut, the chicken tasted like it was pre packaged and reheated with the pasta this time around.
I wish I could have given this a good review but sadly I don’t think I’ll return, I thought the other recent poor reviews were just some people with poor taste but now I see and feel they reflect accurately.
Hopefully this restaurant doesn’t become complacent and turns around into the great flavour and freshness they once had

My previous rating was a pocket rating, I have the page open in my pocket, so sorry. I loved this place. We visited this past weekend. Our waitress was everything and the food was excellent. Not to mention the gorgeous atmosphere. The food portion sizes really surprised me as well.

Don't let the strip mall deter you - this restaurant is delicious and a great evening-date-night location. Another review recommended their seafood dishes (thank you!!!!) and the trout did not disappoint. The best trout and cooked spinach - yes, spinach - I've ever eaten. My husband finished his lasagna before I could even try a bite, but said it was very light and delicious. 10/10 will return.
