My eggplant parmigiana was home made perfect. This is a no-frills, old style café with genuine Italian heritage somewhere. In a growing town where you can easily spend $50 for a good meal at one of the two or three really fancy-schnancie places in town, it's nice to know you can get your gourmet in with a $9.95 dish as good as anywhere in Italy! The bread is right out of the oven and light as a feather - although nobody offered butter or olive oil and garlic with it. The salad was plenty big, very fresh, if a little unimaginative. The atmosphere is small town typical with taxi yellow walls and painting prints from a Motel 6 garage sale, but clean as a pin and pleasant. Oh, and the waitress could be Miss Texas. So it's a win win.

This place was great! They had a drive through and we called our order in, it was nice and easy. Girl at the window was super friendly. I ordered a Stromboli, salad, and some bread. Let me tell you, that homemade bread was out of this world delicious! The Stromboli was huge too. It was a supreme and had like 8 toppings inside but the crust on the inside was still done, it was great. Salad had like 10 toppings on it and wifey loved it. Would definitely recommend this place and can't wait to try their pizza.

Surprised to find this quality in such a small place. Food was fresh, made-to-order, with homemade bread & pasta.

First time to visit and will be the last visit. Ordered the antipasta salad. Lettuce with rolled up cheese and ham and black canned sliced olives. It was a boring sale to say the least.... No peppers, but that was the entire salad. They could do way better as it was a regular salad with olives and a roll up. The other dish was the chicken piccata. I love this dish but here it had no flavor and it was served on Penne pasta.... Who does that? Sauce would have been amazing g if it had actual LEMON in it. And a few mushrooms to give it that umami flavor. It needed garlic and fresh parm and butter and served with vermacelli. We didn't finish this dish because it lacked FLAVOR big time. If you want good Italian this is definitely NOT THE PLACE TO EAT. If you want flavor less and boring food then you should eat here.

Food was amazing! But what took the cake was literally the fresh bread. Service was on point and we got our food very quick after ordering it. Would definitely recommend if passing by!

Tucked away in a non descript building, this was a great lunch stop on the way back to San Antonio. Delicious rolls to start, followed by flavorful pasta. If you're in Hico, it's worth the stop!

Way back from San Antonio to Dallas on 281 (second street) found this gem by luck. Beautiful small resturant.We ordered garlic bread, baked zitti and a small pizza (fresh garlic, spinach and tomatoes).Man the pizza was delicious. Zitti great tasting, garlic bread above average. The best part, the place was nice, cool and clean. Everything came out freshMust give it a try if you around in the area or passing by.5 ? all around.

The food was wonderful, and the service was good. Parking is limited, and the building itself is easy to miss.Kid-friendliness: High chairs accessible.
