Met some friends for dinner. First time under new ownership. The veal parm was incredible. My wife had a Stromboli and it was very nice as well. Server was friendly and helpful. A very good time was had by all. Looking forward to returning.

This might be the worst restaurant that I’ve ever been to in the Raleigh area hands down. My girlfriend and I were craving Italian and we decided to try this place out since we live nearby. We were going to eat in originally but needed to leave for a sudden schedule change. We got spaghetti and meatballs to go and some garlic bread. After our 5 min drive home we opened it up to eat and the pasta had turned to complete mush. Overcooked beyond recognition. Not sure how an Italian place can screw up spaghetti. The meatballs might be at least worth eating we thought - we were wrong. Dry, flavorless and with no seasoning. Just dry meat in a ball. That’s it. At least we had the garlic bread right! Wrong. Some measly butter and barely any garlic to speak of, toasted to the high heavens. I could get better quality from a frozen meal than the $30+ I spent on this stuff. Its remarkable that a restaurant with a specific focus such as this could ruin every single aspect of a meal.

The waitress was great, I forgot her name. Olivia maybe? Also the owner of the restaurant came out and greeted me as well. such an awesome experience. I really liked the food as well, I had the chicken Alfredo and it was delicious. Definitely recommend

First time eating here and dayum!! That was delicious! I have high standards for Italian, so I was pleasantly surprised! I had the cheese ravioli, but got it with Alfredo and added chicken, cause I’m difficult, and it was sooooooooo good. Looking forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow and returning in the future!

Big disappointment….first visit and last. Stuffed eggplant with ricotta had not no cheese in the eggplant. Veal in the veal parmigiana was over cooked. Charged $1 extra for extra sauce and $1 extra for extra dressing. Marinara sauce was good. Garlic knots were overcooked. Service was mediocre. She knew little about the menu. At 6 pm on a Friday, there were 2 tables with customers. That should tell you something. Won’t go back.
