We have been going for years and always loved it. A few months back it was a little off but wow! Last night was amazing. Pizzas and crab homemade tortellini were spot on. Great cocktails too. I'm so glad they are back to how they usually are. A hidden gem in Bellaire.

Slow, terrible service!! My friends and I get seated at 5:45, and we ask for the happy hour deal straight away knowing that happy hour ends at 6. The waiter, however, doesn’t show up until 6:06 and tersely informs us that happy hour is over. We ask to speak to the manager, and when she eventually comes, she quite bluntly tells us that there isn’t anything she can do. Sorry. That dampens the mood, but ce la vie. The subsequent lack of service- not getting plates, not getting water when requested, not being able to place a second drink order - that really soured the experience even further.Hope to see an improvement in customer service, because your happy hour pizza is good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner Sunday evening. The food was superb and the service was wonderful. My allergies to gluten and dairy were easily accommodated with gluten free pasta. I even had the mango sorbet which was so fresh and tasted like a ripe sweet mango.

Delicious food and good service! The waiters are attentive and the food is great! Parking is limited however they do have valet service during the dinner hours.

Good food and atmosphere. Service could've been better but was very friendly. Overpriced for pretty basic Italian dishes

Excellent food and presentation with good service. The four of us ordered lunch - two had pizza, one of us ordered the Short Rib ravioli, and one had the Frutti Di Mare. We also ordered two side salads. No desserts and only two beverages - two of us had one cocktail each. The quality? Excellent. Only complaint is that it would have been nice to have a lunch menu for a weekday lunch. We paid dinner prices —and the bill for the four of us was pretty evident of this: $181.15 for the food and 2 cocktails with no dessert Including a 15% tip. For lunch. Also, they knew about a celebration ahead of time through our reservation (and it was communicated during our meal) but they did not do anything special for us - it is certainly not required but it would have been nice.
What a cozy and sophisticated spot. Not only does this neighborhood gem serve amazingly delicious Italian food, the service is polite, attentive, and professional. Great wine selections and cocktails, too. We look forward to returning when we're back in town!

The pasta was delicious. The waiter was a little hesitant, and it was a beautiful night ? to eat at an outside table.
We live in Sugar Land, but worked in Houston so have been coming here since they opened. We have been retired for a few years now, but we still try to make it in every couple of months or so. We brought a new couple with that now lives in Houston, so I suspect they will be coming more often as well as they will prepare their pastas and pizzas gluten free if you need it. Food is awesome, service is awesome, love the quaintness of the space. Go - you will love it.

I have a lot of grace to this restaurant as it was Valentine's Day, but it was one issue after another. There were a few very kind staff but half of the staff seemed inconvenienced by our presence. The food was mid for the price. Specifically, the short rib ravioli demi glace had a strong, unpleasant alcohol flavor to it. Overall, the restaurant looks nice but you're better off cooking pasta at home

Food was delicious as always. We were there with old friends we hadn't seen in a while and enjoyed the chance to catch up over a leisurely dinner. Our server was good, right balance of attention and leaving us alone.
