The staff is friendly and accommodating! My steak was cooked to my liking and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her chicken BLT.

We dined there last night for the first time. The calamari appetizer is right up there with the best we've had in fifty years of travel. Sauces are light and flavorful. Service was very good. A guest at a nearby table ordered a steak, and reported that it was cooked as ordered, large and full of flavor. The restaurant is not fancy, but is very clean and welcoming inside. Servers were attentive, and they know the menu. If you enjoy non-chain, non-plastic dining, this is an excellent spot.

Very, very pleased with the food and the service. Exceptional taste and portion. Flavorful spice , truly a hidden gem on DesMoines Southside.Don’t forget to take the margarita flight!

Food was amazing! Great for kids bc location is not stuffy, but clean and tidy. Fast service and friendly staff. Planning to make it an after zoo trip tradition.

Food was good, not great.Been there twice and I would rate it a 7 out of 10.The steak was good but honestly not real flavorful. Hate to say it but Texas Roadhouse steaks taste better.Service is good, people are nice there.

I was extremely impressed with the food & service here! Will definitely be back! My kid even said she really liked the calamari. I was shocked. Definitely worth it to try.

I would definitely recommend dine in or take out from this excellent Italian restaurant. Although the building looks like an ex-drive in, the food is worth it, good service, and a $1 beer special on many regular non import.

Went with my husband, son, his gf and our grandson. Fried zucchini and mozz sticks were amazing. I had chicken cordon bleu and LOVED it! Serving sizes are huge. Two meals for the price of one. We all loved the food, the lady serving us was very sweet as well. Will be going back soon!

Good Italian fare. I had the cavatelli, it was different in a good way. Prepared in a light sauce with sliced sausage and broccoli. I had the vegetable soup with it which was a rich in veggies and a flavorful broth. They're seating patrons and they do serve alcoholic beverages. Our wait staff was helpful, attentive and friendly.

We decided to try a new place on our side of town! Excited for a new place! Got inside the door there was another couple standing there when we got in. We stood a few mins, several staff walked past several times never acknowledge us. The other couple was there longer and found out they had not said anything to them either. A few mins later they seated the other couple then us. got the menu... no descriptions on the menu items so hard to decide what you may want. However, yo

Food is fresh. Nice sized portions. Lighting needs dimmed and Italian music would make a better atmosphere. Candles on tables would be nice if they were lit. House salad dressing should be house made. Sauces are good but lack wine finishes. Waiters need more knowledge of menu items. A little more professionalism with wait staff needed. Definitely a great place.
