On this busy December evening we had a wonderful experience. It seems that there is a new manager at this location in West Chester and he was on top of things. The artichoke appetizer is not to be missed and is enough to share, if you like the person you are with! We both enjoyed our entree's (Bolognese for my date and Veal Saltimbocca for me). Service was a tad slow, but it was a busy evening so that is forgivable. The noise level is the only thing that gets a bit crazy - people are enjoying themselves and there are a lot of hard surfaces so it get's pretty loud. This is one of our favorite BYOB's in West Chester borough.

The staff was super accommodating! We called ahead to adjust our reservation and they were completely okay with it! When we got there, they were great with helping entertain my 16 month old. The staff played many rounds of peek-a-boo, smiled and chatted with him, and brought cookies for all the kids at our table. I cannot say enough about the staff, let alone the delicious food and upbeat environment!

The food is awesome but literally DOOOO NOTTTTT order via DoorDash from this restaurant if your life depends on it. Literally this restaurant should not DoorDash. Because I have officially been waiting two hours for my meal.
They were clearly shorthanded but we sat at our table for 20 minutes and never were acknowledged nor greeted. Ended up just leaving as nobody even stopped to ask us what happened. It's a shame as we have been there several times and the food is generally good. We like to support local businesses so this is disappointing for sure. We will not return.

The food was fantastic! We had the pasta alfredo, puttanesca pasta, veal parmigiana & tuna special - - all were delicious! Save room for dessert which included fluffy light tiramisu and moist choc cake. We will definitely be back!

It is one of those places where everything on the menu looked awesome and it was hard to choose. We finally made our decisions and the food was excellent. We will certainly be back to try other menu selections

A great find, especially as it's BYOB. Our waitress was great (student at WCU). We loved the soft Italian music and the artwork on the walls, done by the owner's father who still lives in Rome.

The food as usual was excellent! Service is great. The beauty of this restaurant is the people. When we finished our meal we stayed 1/2 hour talking with other customers about the Phillies and world issues. Where else can you enjoy a great meal, excellent service and the company of total strangers and the owner shooting the breeze with.

Judy is the best chef! I have gluten allergy and they always accommodate me special request. My all time favourite restaurant!! Eggplant Parm is to die for! My husband loves the lobster ravioli!

I had booked a reservation because of the very high reviews, well the reviews were very wrong. We were greeted at the table and ordered food with an appetizer which took more than 20 minutes to receive. Our waiter was busy checking on the same table 4 times rather than to even get us a basket of bread and fill our water glasses. Our entrees came and my boyfriend got their pasta special which was no lie, pasta water and some white wine as sauce. We are both Italian so we know good Italian food, and we just hated the feeling like we were not even there. The service sucked and food was not anything great. I was extremely disappointed as my expectations were set high because of other peoples reviews. Don't waste money on them, plenty of other spots to go.
Excellent food! The service was a little on the slow side but they were very busy and the food was well worth the wait. I've also dined at their Bala Cynwyd location and their product is consistently good with friendly service.

Signature dish Cora de Roma with veal was very good. You can expect good food, good service, and a reasonably priced menu. Best of all it's BYOB. What's not to like? We go there often.

A favorite spot in West Chester!! BYO, geat pasta and it's own parking lot so no need to drive around west chester to find a spot! ? Very cozy and love the very sweet server we have each time we're there!

I'd give it a five star but it is very noisy with large family parties sitting close together on most Friday and Saturday nights. This just means I will schedule carefully because I really like their food

If you like raveoli's you will love their homemade mushroom ravs. They are beyond belief. The sauce is creamy and rich and definitley enhance the flavor. Just get the home made ravs, their are large, tastefull and extremely filling.
