Service and food were equally excellent. I would come back just for coffee and cake. Chicken Marsala was delicious. The lasagna was light and flavorful. Cheese wheel changes daily (carbonara) was made table side. Pheasant ravioli in mushroom cream sauce was the winner. I suggest you make a reservation but they will accommodate if they can.

We’ve been in South Bend for just over a year now, and this restaurant sits firmly at the top of my favorites list. Adele is not only exceptionally talented at her craft but also one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Her menu transports you straight to Italy — it’s even written in Italian — and every dish is authentically prepared. You truly can’t go wrong with anything you order.
