We was passing through the area on the way to Lake George so I wasn’t too familiar with the area. Looked around and decided to take a chance here, and it was absolutely worth it! The restaurant was small, clean, and unassuming. The owner greeted us warmly and explained the menu options, we decided to get the build your own pasta bowls. The food came out quickly, hot, accompanied with some fresh bread and the best garlic butter spread you’ve ever had. This hands down has been the best pasta I’ve ever had, fresh, tasty, and authentic. The owner was warm and checked on us a couple of times during our visit. We were so pleasantly surprised and how delicious the food was and how welcoming the owners were. We highly recommend this place next time you’re in the area, it’s not your typical Italian joint, this is the real deal and you won’t be disappointed!

Ordered the chicken parm family deal tonight for dinner and was BLOWN AWAY with how much food I received for the price! Will absolutely be ordering again! Staff were so friendly!!!
Absolutely the best pastry I’ve had since my upbringing in my hometown in the Italian section of Springfield, Ma.
Oh my! If you haven’t tried this place, you’re in for a huge treat! The ceasar salad alone is to die for! Then there’s the bread! That’s before you’ve even touched the spectacular chicken parm/pasta or lasagna! Then brace yourself for dessert! I know a certain Italian eatery locally that has lost our business. We will be loyal customers to this gem from here on out!
We weren't looking for italian, but worked out great. The lasagna was very good and satisfied our craving. Chicken parm sandwhich was perfect. There are a few seats as it's meant for take out. It's very clean.

I am so pleased with the experience I had here. We had a miscommunication with my order but he was very accommodating and didn’t make me feel bad for the mixup. The food we ordered, chicken parm, ziti, salad was so delicious. Their signature lemon vinaigrette salad dressing is yummy too! We can’t wait to go back and try something else!

Spent a fortune on their Saturday family “special” added a salad and extra meatballs. I could have bought a jarred sauce that was BETTER!! The meatballs were tiny and FROZEN no way homemade. The pasta way undercooked .The $12 salad was brownish and stale. What a HUGE disappointment I would never ever recommend this place huge rip off. I would like a refund

I ordered via DoorDash so I have no experience with the inside of the restaurant itself but if it's anything like the taste of the food, then it will be amazing. So far I had the pappardelle and the hot Italian sausage sub and let me tell you. It was perfect and rich in flavor. But it's kept simple to compliment the dish. Just how real Italian food should be. And the sfogliatelle (an Italian pastry) was just spectacular too. I know it might sound too good to be true, but it's that good in my experience. Thank you to the owners for opening this place in our area :)

Finally, today I picked up dinner to go. Eggplant parmigiana and meatballs and I have to say how delicious I enjoyed both very much and highly recommend this beautiful couple and their Italian cuisine!!! I’ll be back! Giovanni and your wife Franceca ❤️

Food was great. PLEASE ADD OPTION ON DOORDASH FOR GARLIC BREAD AND SIDES OF PARMESAN CHEESE.
If you’re a fan of classic Italian comfort food, this place is an absolute must-visit! The spaghetti here is perfectly cooked—al dente. Giovanni and Francesca’s tomato sauce is incredibly rich and flavorful. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving a delicious, authentic pasta experience.

I really wanted to like this place because it’s finally something different in GF, but the food was awful. The alfredo had no flavor, the pasta was a horrible consistency that was way too light almost to the point of dissolving in your mouth. My wife got spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was nothing special, the actual spaghetti noodles were basically lo mein from a chinese restaurant, and the homemade meatballs that are $2 per meatball! were just frozen meatballs you pick up from Walmart. Maybe we hit an off night based on all the other good reviews here but it was honestly so bad I wouldnt give it a second shot
