We had the BEST dining experience here last night and will be back whenever we can and with friends. The food is 100% authentic Italian with every ingredient coming straight from Italy and only the freshest ingredients. And you can taste it. The wine selection is bar none, the wait staff incredible, (ask for Gaetano sp?!) the atmosphere bar none. It was beyond delicious. Cannot wait to get back here, if you haven’t been, you are really missing out. Can readily say the top place in Wake Forest for fine dining.

Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine and attentive, exceptional service. This place makes sure you know they appreciate your business, and they have been amazing with the way they have accommodated a family member who can't eat dairy. If you want real deal Italian food, this is the place for you.

What a beautiful way to celebrate my birthday. Food and service were impeccable. Authentic Italian food at its finest.

We went last night for Valentine's Day, they servers are all very friendly and attentive and very knowledgeable about what's on the menu, wines and such. The decor is very lacking and the food is mediocre at best. We both got the Penne Seafood Alfredo. The shrimp tasted like it came from the freezer at Walmart. We wanted cheese on top of our dishes and instead of grating the cheese, it was shaken out of a spoon. Very disappointed.

The service was good and the crab cake appetizer was excellent (even if it was pricey for single crab cake). However, the meals we ordered were nothing more than average. The chicken marsala was rather bland and the penne alla vodka was just okay. Probably the most disappointing was what appeared to be store-bought, very white Italian bread. It wasn't even served warm.

Very nice place and food is good. Couple suggestions: You may want to offer some Parmesan on top of pasta. Grind pepper also never hurts in Italian place.

Very good - coming from LI NY you can't always find a good Italian restaurant. New to the area, driving around & stumbled on this place - happy we decided to give it a try. The waitress was also from LI NY & it was her first day....she did great and we enjoyed talking with her. Our calimari appetizer & seafood/chicken entrees were both fantastic!! It's our new favorite go to place!!

Susan and the staff took great care of us tonight. Portion sizes are just right and the flavor was phenomenal. Ask to try their roasted peppers.

The food was really good. We had a crappy waitress and they don't have their liquor license. Would try it again.

Comfortable atmosphere, cozy dining experience. Very attentive staff, both friendly & inviting. The food is phenomenal as expected from such a talented Chef. The veal melted in your mouth. Will definitely return.

Called for a to go order and they don't take to go because they are too busy. Put our name on the waiting list to be seated and was told 40 minutes. Waited an hour and a half to finally be seated. Sat there for 20 more minutes and no one came to take our order. Watched them take other people that were seated after us. We got up and left. Went to the bar to pay for the soda we got while we waited. They said no bill but did nothing to get us to stay. They are getting to big for there own good and it's going to hurt business. Never going back.

Went last night with my husband for the first time. Staff and our server were very friendly. The drink special was sangria, I had the red and liked it. My husband ordered the flounder francese, nice amount of fish and he was pleased with the flavor. I decided on the fettucini Alfredo with chicken and broccoli, everything was cooked well but had no flavor. Had to add a ton of parmesan. Overall it was a nice experience, would order a different dish next time.
