Service is great. Food was great. My only complaint would be they charge $55 for a steak as a special that they advertise it at and then they up charge you for the mushrooms and for the sauce so at a Italian restaurant for a normal size steak I can't remember the ounces but it wasn't huge. It was about $65. And my Seabass was 50 and if you get a side of cappellini with the same sauce for a $50 entrée they actually charge you a dollar or something for the same sauce so little things like that are turn off. Also $15 for a small wine pour for an average Italian wine.

I've lived here my entire life passed this place a thousand times and finally went in...one of life's regrets is not trying to sooner. Everything was perfect from the second you walk in.I had the Veal Luciana, hands down the best I've ever had. This is one of my top dish life time. You have to give them a try. The house salad was also out of this word, I could have got two of those and been satisfied with my meal. Simply delicious.Great service and quick food delivery. Everything and everyone was on point.Prices were right on with what you get for a meal. Excellent flavor.

Just a classic spot. Great service from the entire staff. Great food. When it comes to Italian restaurants we only like a few. This is one of them.

Love love love it there! I moved further away and went back for the first time in over a decade and it was just as good as the first time 25 years ago.

Truly the best Italian food in the area. The service was phenomenal as well! As a Guilderland resident, I am excited for the move to Guilderland!

Oh my goodness... Best Italian cuisine in the Capital Region. Service is exceptional. Food... Flavors... Everything was simply exceptional. Maria, one of the owners, manages to find time to connect with her customers on top of making sure everything is running smoothly. You can feel the sense of pride and love in their meals and in their service.

I haven't eaten here but the atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. I deliver vegan Italuan bread to them. They have a friendly staff.

I must say I absolutely love this place. The food was fantastic and probably the best of it that I have ever had. However I was a little surprised at some of the up charges. It cost $15 for a glass of wine and the glass was barely half full. I was also charged $3 for salad dressing that came on the free salad that comes with your meal. I would expect that if they offer you a salad, the cost of the dressing would be included. They didn't say any of that to us.Food was great though

Bread and salad was very good, however, the main entry veal Sorrento was exceptionally salty. Normally the eggplant balances out the saltiness of the prosciutto. The eggplant layer was either very thin or not present.

Great italian dishes with some vegetarian options. I ordered spaghetti with meatballs, and it was awesome. My wife ordered the eggplant Parmesan and we both loved it.
