Do not recommend. Restaurant was empty. Was not waited on or an uncomfortablely long time. heard a small child crying and sneezing in the kitchen. Food was edible but not seasoned at all.
Pasta bowl was half empty for 25 bucks

Second time here for take away and the food was really really good. The folks working were so nice and friendly. We ordered the meat lovers pizzas with all sorts of extras and it was perfect .

Fantastic Italian surprise in small-town Texas. The food here is way better than you would ever expect from a little family spot right off the highway in Hamilton.

The Alfredo sauce is rich, flavorful, and easily rivals big-city Italian restaurants, and the meatballs were tender, well-seasoned, and absolutely exceeded expectations. Portion sizes were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh.

The decor is pretty basic and nothing fancy, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. It feels like the kind of place you go for a great meal, not for Instagram photos.

What really stands out is that it’s clearly family-run, and everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Service was attentive without being pushy, and it made for a perfect stop while charging at the nearby Tesla supercharger.

Highly recommend stopping here if you’re passing through Hamilton and want a surprisingly great Italian meal.

Seeing the outside of the building left us a little weary however it did not disappoint at all. We had garlic bread, garlic bread with cheese and jalapenos on top, spaghetti and a pizza. All was delicious! Not much to look at but the food is really good 😊

Please update your hours! It's frustrating when it says you are open, only to get there and it's closed.

Really good portion size so that’s a plus BUT bleeding gums, not so fun…
I had the chicken Marsala on Angel Hair pasta! The mushrooms were cooked to perfection and the dark wine reduction sauce was good in flavor. The chicken is just a very THIN SLICE of chicken, not a chicken breast my any means. There was entirely too much THYME Seasoning in the dish. I couldn’t enjoy the dish because each bite was full of so many pieces of large prickly sticks of Thyme, it made the dish overpowering and difficult to enjoy because you’re constantly pulling/spitting out what feel like little sticks out of your teeth/gums. See photos.
If the Thyme wasn’t so heavy I would give this dish 4 out of 5 but it overpowered the entire dish. This was my first time eating at this restaurant, I will give it another chance!

They are not open when they say they are and/or don't answer the phone for togo orders. Service is extremely slow no matter what it's Always slow.

Service is horrible and you can’t even place a call in order because they never answer the phone.

I rarely write a negative review but what a disgusting dive! We thought we were entering a hole in the wall with delicious Italian food. Oh No! the lights are dim for a reason and it's not for the ambience! First, went to wash my hands - no soap or paper towels. I ordered the lasagna dinner for $10.99 with a salad and rolls. Out comes the salad, I pulled my fork out of the rolled napkin, tossed around the salad and took a bite. Took another bite and realized the fork was really rough on my lips. Ohmygosh! I gagged as I noticed the dried food covering my fork, the whole fork! The waitress was not surprised, she just took my food away without offering me a new salad (I would have said no, it was just chopped iceberg lettuce with watery blue cheese dressing) The Lasagna looked good with the baked cheese but underneath, it was very watery, more like tasteless lasagna soup. I had to ask for rolls, the rolls were good but we only got one each. When I went to pay, I did not tip as it was the worst dinning experience I have ever had! We were on a road trip, all paying separately, their experience was horrific as well yet they tipped minimum; it was my first time not to tip, I just couldn't due to the way they handled my disgusting find, etc. I'm not even telling the whole story. The best part of the service was taking away my food. I was not going to write this post until I realized they added the tip themselves.  We didn't eat much and felt quizzy for a while after leaving there! 🤮
