The most wonderful hidden gem of a restaurant. I took my friend here for her 70th birthday and it was just perfect. Jason, the owner was so nice from the very start when I made the initial reservation. The menu was superb and the food, every single thing we ordered, was absolutely delicious. Service was great and the fried goat cheese salad, papardelle pasta with mushrooms, and the strip steak were out of this world. Jason was so kind and treated my guest with a birthday tray full of samplings and a candle. So so nice of him! Parking was easy and I can not wait to come back here with friends. The restaurant is on the smaller side and had a very cozy warm feeling. It would be perfect for small parties and celebrations as well as an intimate dinner. All the food was made to order and a delightful evening was had by both of us. Thank you, Jason and Juan! The menu looked so good and I could find several dishes to order. Several “specials” were available as well. Definitely make a reservation!

Awesome hole in the wall family restaurant. Amazing food and the service was top notch. The Gnocchi was to die for! I added italian sausage to the Gnocchi. Wow!
The food was delicious and the service and atmosphere were great. The portion sizes were generous.

Placed a catering order for my baby shower yesterday, the food was delicious, all guests were raving about it. Full trays of Salmon Chardonnay, Penne Vodka, Gnocchi Sorrentino and Chicken Caprese. Jason the manager was a delight to work with, he made the whole process smooth and easy. We will definitely be catering all future events here. Highly recommend.

I am local to Civile. My favorite place. BYOB is a plus. Owners run a tight ship and are highly engaged. Very attentive to the tables and are always a step ahead of your needs. Bread was fresh. Had meatball appetizer which was outstanding. We also got fried calamari, traditional style (other option is balsamic, we prefer traditional). Perfect with added touch of scallions and tomatoes. Tasty. Caesar salad great. Entrees we had red snapper and NY strip steak. NY strip prepared medium and on point. Sliced on an angle as it should be with mushrooms and gorgonzola. Came with spinach and roasted potatoes. Delicious meals. Portions were large. Excellent.

Foods ok, but this place is "sticky" and dated, and the service is a downer.The owner has a puss on him, and the other waiter disappears for 20 minutes a clip.....not worth your

We have been to this restaurant several times with parties of 8 plus. The food is always excellent. We share appetizers and try each others dishes to plan or the next visit.Portions are enough for a second helping the next day. It is BYOB which is another plus. This way we get more appetizers to enhance our dining experience. Our reservation times have been honored and the wait staff is great. The atmosphere is nice. If your looking for a grand dining room forget that because the food is the star. Highly recommended.
