Great food every time — always hot and fresh. There’s usually no wait, but if there is, the owner personally apologizes and offers water and bread while you wait. We’ve tried a little bit of everything — the kids’ chicken tenders are real cutlets and surprisingly good. The meatball Alfredo sandwich is incredible, and the Tuscan balsamic chicken is my wife’s favorite. We drive 20 minutes to pick up our food and don’t mind one bit. Feels like a true NYC Italian hole-in-the-wall. Would definitely be our anniversary spot if there was dine-in!
Atmosphere: Small resturant charm with beautifully showcased desserts and Italian decor
Customer Service: I came in just before closing and the gentleman that helped me was amazing! Pleasant and even explained the desserts that I was drooling over and trying not to buy lol. Keep him !
Food: Spaghetti and Meatballs: The sauce was flavorful but the meatballs were a little tough. Good flavor, just tough
Side Salad: It was fresh and simple 😋
Loved the presentation of the items and the bow on the bread was a super nice touch.
7.5/10 just because of the meatballs

Wowzers! Best Italian I've had since moving here. In fairness, its Sicilian and amazing. I had the blackened chicken fettuccine which was enough for two meals (or one meal where Id feel bad about myself later). My friend had the traditional spaghetti and meatballs.
Bread was hot, fresh, and delicious. Oil with spices were among the best ive ever had. Wish they sold the spice blend. Salad was salad, the balsamic dressing was above average but its a personal bias.
There are a good 7-8 other menu items that look absolutely amazing. I'll be back.
Thanks, PJ

Ive been on the hunt for authentic Italian food and this was definitely it. The menu is filled with traditional pastas (plan to come back and try more!). I ended up eating in but it seems to be meant for take out. Very chill yet personable spot. I love the music and mini market too as a fun touch.
I had the Shrimp Scampi (came with salad and bread). It was a very light/fresh flavor where you could tell the ingredients were fresh! The shrimp was also plentiful and nice in size. Everything is also made to order.

This review is long overdue but this is by FAR, the best restaurant in the Clemmons/Winston Salem area. I’ve been ordering take out here for over a year and it has never disappointed! I have tried multiple items from their delicious Tucson Balsamic Chicken, to their chicken parm sandwich, and even their pizzas, and everyone single item has been absolutely incredible! Not only is the food incredible, it is clean and doesn’t leave you feeling terrible after. Great serving sizes and it definitely won’t leave you needing more food. Incredible staff, always friendly and they always greet you with a smile. My go to is the Shrimp Scampi, also do yourself a favor and add a side of their pasta salad, you’re welcome! By far my favorite place to eat from.

Wow! This was some of the best Italian food I have had. Note: This place is to-go only. I had the chicken caprese scampi. The flavors just pop in your mouth. The desserts were amazing as well. The garlic cheese bread with marinara and pesto were so good. Could have been a meal. The salads were very fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back!

Im super surprised I didn't find this place sooner! Initial thoughts walking in was this place is small, cute, and very friendly feeling. The lady at the front was super welcoming and brought a great start to the first time. She handed us menus and went over who they were and what they do. You have two options: buy ready-to-eat or prepared for baking. We got ready-to-eat this round but will be back to try take-home and bake!
The wife ordered wild mushroom ravioli, and when I say the cream sauce just envelopes your mouth with its savory taste and then the ravioli is knocking you out of the park damn good it's still a understatement for how good it is 10/10!
When I go to an Italian or Greek place to eat I always try the spaghetti and meatballs first. Sauce: hearty and perfect, acidic with the perfect blend of seasonings. Meatballs: juicy with great flavors! Not just three meatballs but eight in total! This meant I wasn't left with a ton of spaghetti and sauce and no meatballs throughout eating the meal.
We also ordered the blood orange cake and tiramisu desserts. The blood orange cake was a bit to sweet for me but the wife loved it! Perfect sponge to cream ratio!
I,on the other hand, loved the tiramisu and it's not the typical tiramisu you get at the stores. This tasted homemade and not the generic mass produced! If you don't like coffee I can't recommend it but If you do, you must get it!
Portion size 10/10 food came with side salads and these spaccatini breadsticks with Nutella for cleansing the palate.
Flavor/seasoning 10/10 not salty, not overwhelming.... Just great homemade tasting food!
Seating 2/10 they don't truly have a seating area. Bench with 3 seats and a table with no seats. But don't let this put you off from coming out! Right down the road is Tanglewood park and is an amazing spot to sit and eat and adds to the outing experience. Maybe if the building allows it, putting tables outside might be an option. But again take it home and bake it!
Location 10/10 plenty of parking and easy to get to.
Side notes- they have a cute shelving area for buying ingredients.
