Simply OUTSTANDING!! From start to finish Bob is friendly and extremely helpful with planning our event! Our guests are still commenting on how amazing the food was! The view is beautiful and the service fantastic! Our daughter’s baby shower was a hit and all our future events will be held here!! Definitely best restaurant around!!

Outstanding cuisine at an old school Italian spot with about as good a view you'll get anywhere in the area.

What an amazing experience!! Bobby at the front was a great guy and the chef really knows how to work a kitchen. The food was absolutley outstanding and I can’t wait to come here again. Stuffed artichoke, penne Ala vodka and don’t even get me started on the veal rollatini. I try ordering a little bit of everything and I’m glad I have the leftovers. Best Italian food in Jefferson !!! Fuhgeddaboudit !!

I don’t even know where to begin. This place looks like a nursing home on the inside. Sad old canvas paintings that seem to be covering up holes in the walls, cobwebs on the ceiling in the corners, mold(?) on one ceiling, broken air vents in the floor that essentially are holes, and CARPET that certainly has not been cleaned since the 90’s. The service was ATROCIOUS but to be fair, everyone who worked there was over 70 y/o so I guess for 70 years olds, they moved pretty quickly. It was like going back in time but not in a good way at all. The fried calamari and mozzarella sticks probably came out of a bag in their walk in freezer. The salad was served on a warm plate. I got the rigatoni bolognese and it was okay. This is comparable to “Italian” food that you would get at a local pizzeria…I maybe think that is even offensive to pizzerias. The only positive thing that I have is that it was pretty kid friendly…there were 3 kids, all under 4 who are little party animals. Luckily the restaurant was basically empty so they could run around and it wasn’t too much of a disturbance that they were kids being kids. I would not recommend this place unless you want to go on Halloween because it’s so spoooooooky!

1st time there 8/25/24, will definitely be back. Ordered many appetizers, a great way to sample the kitchen. Excellent eggplant rollatini, clams, mozzarella en carrozza, pasta fagioli soup. My absolute favorite was the stuffed artichoke! Never saw stuffed artichokes on any menu, anywhere before. Had Pasta w/Vodka sauce as main meal. Set on a lake, nice to watch boats & birds. Comfortable, cozy, relaxing && Very affordable! Terrific staff too. Looking forward to a return visit!!

The food and the atmosphere are so good! Loved where this restaurant is situated near a lake. Very relaxing. Prices are on the high end, but nice to splurge once in a while.
