"I had high hopes for this restaurant, but I was sorely disappointed. Reserved a date and time for a party of 40. Followed up with 3 different phone calls throughout the week to ask a few more questions, at which neither times was I told that our party was restricted to a selected menu, chosen by the owner. When I asked him why, this wasn’t mentioned at time of reservation or at any of the three different times I had called. With a take it or leave it attitude, His first answer was that the other dishes on the menu “are high dollar”, then proceeded to say that he had not ordered any of the ingredients to make other dishes on the menu, and that he was understaffed. Not much I could have done, as my guest were coming in, and I didn’t want to cause a scene. Overall experience was humiliating, as I had to profusely apologize to my guests that an assumption was made about them and their ability to pay for a “ high dollar dish”.

Definitely my go to restaurant. I've had at least half of the menu and it has always been amazing. The bread is even better and I always make sure to order more to take home. The servers are polite and attentive without hovering over you. The owner is amazing as well as he is often greeting people and seating them himself. Can't recommend this place enough for either a small dinner or family gathering.Dietary restrictions: Options are available for all restrictions

Don’t ever waste your money here. The manager & his wife are very unprofessional. The manager came storming in while we were having lunch with a group of 20+. The wife didn’t discuss with her husband that we weren’t a group of 50 and he went off on us in front of our guests. They never told us if we didn’t reach the 30 cap that we would have to pay $20 per each person that did not show up. That was never written anywhere & they never discussed us. However, we still paid the fee. They complained about “decorating” the room (there was just paper trees on the table) when we told them we would bring our own. It was a graduation lunch, not a Christmas party. When we spoke with then individual they kept beating around the bush & saying we were lying & called for a table of 50. This could’ve been handled way more professionally & it was out of pocket to have a big man tantrum in front of guests

The owner was so rude and unprofessional. He was mad that our party was 6 people less than our original reservation? He ruined a VERY special occasion. We do not recommend this place for any large parties or anybody at all.

My family and I have come here at least once a year, every year, since before they moved locations. We live out of town and this is our favorite spot in San Angelo. The food and service are consistently great.I’ve never had something that I didn’t like and we order something different almost every time we go. 10/10 recommend.

I've been to them 3 times, and they don't fail me in any department. I will truly miss this place when I leave San Angelo. Best Italian food I've had in a long while.
This Italian restaurant used to be really good before Covid however it’s gone down hill especially in the area of service. The waitress was not in a good mood and service was slow. My fettuccine Alfredo was really good though. It’s a hit or miss as to what service you’ll get.
We love this place! Amazing food, great service, and a very calm atmosphere. It feels pretty homely! The owner, Mr. Zeka, is also super nice.

The first time I went a few years ago, the pasta with vodka sauce was very good. This time I had the chicken Marsala which was fine. I’ve had it at other places and while I’m used to it being made differently at each place, this was the least amazing one I’ve had, sadly. I fought hard for dinner to come from a local restaurant instead of Olive Garden (once you hear about it from someone who works in the kitchen, you’ll never want to eat it again ?). The cannoli was the best I’ve ever had but the salad had many little slimy bits of greens in it. That can make a person very sick so I wasn’t comfortable risking eating it. So 3 stars for the main course, zero for the salad and five for dessert. I don’t think I’ll eat here again because any kitchen that would serve obviously bad fresh produce might possibly use them in cooked foods as well and that’s not a risk I’m willing to take. I hope it was just a bad night, I want this place so be great and do well.

Arrived here for a comforting late lunch before heading to the airport and I ordered the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo. It was AMAZING!!! The amount served was more than enough and it was super creamy with sauce. Usually I have to ask for a side of Alfredo sauce elsewhere but that was not the case today. It was served soon after and it was pleasantly hot and fresh. The bread served was fresh and tasty. Owner, Bekam, made sure to come by and make sure service was good and not lacking. Any customer that came through he made sure to assist if needed (with an elderly) and took a few minutes to chat with every customer making it feel very genuine as he did with me. The waitress, Gabrielle, was very attentive, friendly and on point. Also cleanliness of dining area and restroom was on point as well too. I travel to San Angelo for business and will definitely make sure to come again for lunch and dinner!
Great place to eat Italian food in San
