We've been here twice, about a year and a half apart. We were there off season so it wasn't super busy. The pasta here is legit. Made from scratch and it shows. We'll be back next time we are on the island.

Dark could not even read the menu. Crab stuffed Ravioli didn't have any crab n the crab sauce was salty liquid yellow cheese. Ceasar salad n bread were awesome. Shrimp scampi was good n plentiful.

First time in south Padre and this restaurant made my trip! Great atmosphere and everything we ordered was fresh. I ordered the rigatoni carbonara and it did not disappoint. I only wish I lived closer to make this a weekly staple. The customer service was also superb! Our server Luis G made sure to give out reccomendations suited to our preferences and was extremely friendly! Will come back again, recommend 10/10 to fill your pasta and seafood cravings!

The pasta pizza and service were all 5 star. We had a large group and they were very accommodating. We were here on vacation and it was our favorite dinner of the trip.

5 Stars is a Short Change for this restaurant, deserves more than a 5 star!Excellent place! You’ll love it!From start, you’ll be greeted accordingly and seated comfortably. The vibe at the restaurant is great, nice and cozy. Waitstaff is professional, but the food speaks for itself. Homemade, great Italian food. Delicious food. You won’t be disappointed! Try for yourself!
