Amazing dinner (to go bogo promo) last night, we got six different meals and enjoyed it so much! Everyone in our family raved about the different pastas to try. Thank you!!!

BOGO and it was delicious! 💋 Two Shrimp Diablo with angel hair pasta. We will be back! Ask for Fransisco to cook for you. He is the best. El mejor.

We went with four people. They seemed understaffed for a Saturday night. I had to flag down server to get refills and new drinks. 3 of the 4 entrees we got, we're not very good. I had the stuffed pork chop. It was dry and tough. I don't remember what they ordered.But the food was like a salt lick. I think the other one was a steak.Ravioli, that noodles were way overcooked and fallen apart. Server never asked how food was just if we wanted to go containers for all the food that wasn't eaten. Very disappointing

From an Italian… Warning!!! This is NOT authentic, it’s more like Mexican/Italian. They were out of the first 2 things we tried to order. The appetizers were disappointing. Calamari was an overcooked frozen mess. Our Shrimp cocktail was 8 warmish fishy shrimp on a plate with a side of cocktail sauce, not edible. Our drinks took a good 20 minutes. We had to ask for bread after noticing the other tables were getting bread baskets when they were set. Our entrees were salty and the red sauce tasted like soy sauce. Nothing was fresh, it all tasted like frozen items you’d pick up at Walmart. Do not recommend! Those who do, just have no idea what Italian food is supposed to taste like. I’m sorry!

I don’t even know where to start. If ‘fine dining’ means microwaved meatballs and canned sauce to you, then this is your place. Oh, and the service? Chef’s kiss — truly the worst service ever.

I was basically the first customer in the door today. Was only greeted by a funny look upon walking in. Seated myself, a gentleman brought water and a menu. Then another gentleman appeared shortly afterwards and asked me if I ordered a beer, which I hadn't.

Ordered a bruschetta and lasagna. Complimentary bread took a bit to show up and didn't even come with butter. bruschetta was good, I prefer it without balsamic vinegar which is how they served it, though that might not suit others since it is abnormal for a bruschetta.

Eventually they tried to serve me somebody else's chicken alfredo. A few mins after that the lasagna came, it was fine but nothing exceptional. The best lasagna I've ever had in the US was at Cosi Cucina in Des Moines, if that's a 10/10, then this was a 6/10 relative to that.

I had planned on having dessert but chose not to given the constant screw ups and the fact that it took quite a while to be seen to after finishing the lasagna. Plus I wanted to get to the Musketeers game on time.

When I left there were only a few other tables with customers. I hate to think how these guys handle a full house if this is how things are right on opening time.

I wish these guys all the best, but if I do drive up to Sioux City again, I'll choose to go elsewhere.

Understaffed and out of three different things we wanted. Took a long time to get drinks and service and we didn't get our appetizers or salads.

Great place to sit and eat. I brought my wife and 11 month old son here to eat. They didnt have a kids menu but had no issue making something kid friendly for my baby. The server recommended us amazing plates and I had a glass of Moscato. Such a great experience. This was my first time coming here and I loved it so much

Probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. I don’t know how people give this any less than 5 stars. Service was tremendous. It’s a quieter place but it doesn’t diminish anything else in my opinion.

Wait staff was super friendly. Only thing I would change is maybe having one more Cabernet on the menu, but it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Vodka penne or Arriabiata sauce. Can’t wait to try it again next time I’m in town. It’s a shame this isn’t in a bigger city but it’s such a hidden gem where it’s at.

The items we ordered were as shown but the taste was absolutely different than expected.
There was no Italian taste and the sauce was watered tomato soup.
I would write more but it’s not worth the time.
We will be back to this area in November and there is NO way I’d ever go to that place again.

I had the chicken Alfredo and my partner had a light tomato based dish with shrimp in it. Multiple staff members greeted us very well and were kind and refreshing when we walked in. The atmosphere was unique. The bread was delicious, but we had to wait a bit longer than we had hoped to get more. The portions of our food were very generous. However, the price for the food was too high based on the flavor of our dishes. The Alfredo was bland, despite there being a lot of sauce, which I appreciated. The chicken was delicious with a light lemon flavor which complimented the Alfredo perfectly and wasn’t dry. There wasn’t much chicken though, which was a bit disappointing. My partner’s dish was light and fragrant but only had one real taste - a hint of a tomato taste + water (for a multi-dimensional dish you expect there to be more than one flavor.) We wanted to love our food, but it was too expensive for what it was. The best part was the bread and butter and the staff. My partner would not come back, but I would give them another chance.
