Visited around 1pm on Monday. A noisy busted speaker was blaring country music and the place smelled more like mopped with dirty water than Italian food. With such good ratings, decided to stick it out. The waitress was not helpful and came off as arrogant. There’s no options for children’s plates, so I ordered my 4yr old a half order of chicken Alfredo without the chicken (which got me a look of disdain), my 9yr old a half order of spaghetti and meatball. My 17yr old chose a calzone and I had a chef’s combo plate. We were served bread and sauce- bread was great warm but as it cooled became incredibly hard and chewy. The sauce was a red sauce of sort- leaning more toward a vodka sauce than marinara type sauce. I ordered some mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. They came out fairly quick, though the food took a long while to arrive. The mozzarella sticks were pretty good, but came with the same mid sauce as the bread. After a long while of listening to the terrible rattling speaker blaring crummy country songs, the food arrived. The half plates were quite large, almost the same size as my sampler meal, and the calzone was smaller than anticipated. The Alfredo seemed to taste good enough for my little, though she didn’t eat much of it and it ended up coming home with us. My 9yr old said the spaghetti was alright even though it only came with one giant meatball and the sauce was not his favorite- it was edible. It also wound up coming home with us. These two take-home boxes ended up sitting in the fridge until I tossed them out. The calzone was just mid according to my 17yr old son who only ate about half. He did eat the other half later at home. My sampler was a mixed bag. There was lasagna, cannelloni, manicotti, and ziti included as per the menu. The lasagna was amazing and the cannelloni was pretty good. Oddly enough, the manicotti was just okay, we’ve made better at home. The ziti…I don’t know how to describe how disappointing it was. I will say there were different sauce flavor profiles- one more like marinara with depth, one like the sauce I described before which was mild and had a bit of tang on the end of it, and one that was spicy and dark. It was not a good mixture of flavors, and I found it valuable to separate what I could of the different pastas. I ate two bites of each and decided to bring it home for my husband. He had a few bites later on and I ended up eating a little more. It was fine- the lasagna was the savior of that plate still at second tasting.
Our waitress came back twice during the whole experience, once to deliver food and once when we were done. She ended up walking out the door with us so I assume she was just over it for the day lol. The total ended up being between $85-$90.00 for the four of us. I don’t anticipate returning, but if I did I would get only the lasagna. Bathrooms were in order, not much “atmosphere”- doesn’t scream Italian place. I wanted to like this place- it has such high ratings! How? Idk, but should have walked out when I heard the terrible music buzzing and the funky smell.

A true hole in the wall restaurant. Staff was pleasant. Not especially attentive. Weren't sure what to expect for Italian in Texas. I'm from RI which is known for its Italian restaurants. The bread was crunchy and warm. I ordered lobster ravioli. The sauce was delicious. I got 4 raviolis and 4 shrimp(?) for $22. Hubby got chicken parm. On the small side of chicken breast. Spaghetti was spaghetti and the sauce was average. Surprised they did not serve coffee.

Stopped there for early dinner because of high reviews. We were quite disappointed, all dishes excessively cheesy, even the garlic knots were blah.

Lasagna looked good but was barely edible. No ricatta cheese. Pounds of hard mozzarella. A few lasagna noodles hiding under the cheese. I was really let down. I like cheese but too much can ruin the delicate balance of noodles, sauce and cheese.

Best tasting Italian food around! Quality food at a decent price! Been too a couple of places in the Odessa area, this place wins so far. Been back 3 times since.
