Amazing customer service! The bartenders are so knowledgeable and very friendly! They also just started a happy hour at the bar from 3-5 and all day Sunday with really great deals on food, wine, and

Pretty middling food, especially for the price. The pasta was ok, but if I can cook a pasta dish with more flavor than a restaurant, that’s an issue. This was the most ok pasta I’ve ever had. Service was not good either- We asked for extra bread and sauce, and never received them. Despite there being few people in the restaurant, we didn’t receive much attention from the waitress, so never even got the chance to ask again before our meal was done, as she was at the front chatting with other staff. When we ordered the soup to go (the one item we really liked), it came in a soda fountain cup with a soda fountain cup lid. The soup was leaking because the flimsy cup was broken. When we asked for it to be replaced, they just dumped the same soup into another flimsy soda fountain cup. Not the best experience, especially when a simple lunch for 2 runs around $100.

Unfortunately it was not good. The atmosphere was fun and service was good but food was not. Homemade pasta was great but the dishes had no flavor. My rigatoni con polpette that I substitute the homemade tagliatelle had cold meatballs and okay flavor. Smaller portions. My wife had the Farfalle was sooooo bad. Little pieces of way over cooked chicken and seriously zero flavor for $30. Again so sad to have to write this but no way this is worth it.We were considering some of there $80 specials but if you can’t get pasta and meatballs right then I’m glad I didn’t get the specialsBefore we ate I tried to buy a gift card as a separate transaction to donate. I was told I have to do that online. Well I’m glad because we will not be buying that now.We live in town and wanted it to be good, but now two different times coming here and I have to tell you to avoid this spot. Since there is such limited good Italian in the area it’s unfortunate this is not good.

The food is delicious. Though they have veal piccata, would be nice to have a chicken alternative. Though small inside, they make use of every square inch. It can get quite loud, especially if there are birthday celebrations. Nonetheless, a good restaurant. Will definitely be back when in Southlake again.

Ordered the meat and cheese board along with the Pasta Carbonara. The pasta was homemade and the carbonara sauce was absolutely delicious! I was walking by and happened to stop in. Best impulse decision! If you’re in Dallas it’s worth the drive! The service was wonderful and the meal was thoughtfully prepared and presented. Definitely worth coming back for!

I truly enjoyed my time here. The people were great and I love when any owner walks around introducing themselves and shaking hands. It’s so humble and warm, it sets the tone for the whole evening. The food was superb, very authentic and delicious. I can’t wait to return and order the penne a la vodka again!!Wheelchair accessibility: This would present very challenging due to have cramped it is inside of the restaurant. You would have good luck on the patio but I would highly recommend making a reservation for the patio!

Food quality is amazing! My fiancée and I are planning on a trip for our honeymoon to Italy. This place was a recommendation from a friend. We went for a wine pairing dinner... and never disappoint us! Service is a luxury feel and we were taken care of by the manager. Great service overall and food is authentic!

Ordered the Quattro Stagioni pizza 1 star.This is a popular pizza in Italy and I have never seen a chef put broccoli or asparagus on it. Quattro Stagioni consist of 4 parts prosciutto ham or olives, artichokes, tomatoes and mushrooms each representing one season.We also ordered spaghetti Al Limone 3 star for fresh lemon flavor but portion was too small. The food is over priced in my opinion. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Seating is very small be prepared to be seated with strangers not in your party. Tables are way too close together we could not engage in a conversation due to the awkwardness of being seated so closely to people we didnt invite to our dinner. Overall Stella’s 1 star

I took my wife and nine friends there for her birthday and it was our first visit. The food and service were fantastic. I’ve never had a waiter answer my requests with “immediately sir”, and he meant it. The atmosphere was enthusiastic and very entertaining. You really feel like family there.

Dined here with a party four. The table ordered calamari, ribeye steak, veal, and two orders of salmon. The ribeye was great, the veal and calamari good, and the salmon mediocre. We also ordered several drinks and two desserts which were also good. The server was polite and responsive. The odd thing was that towards the end of our meal, the staff moved an adjacent table to join ours and then the owner approached our table and said “thank you for joining us.” In other words, leave. Sure by that time we had been seated for approximately two hours but that is to be expected when spending $400 on dinner. It left a bad taste in my mouth and soured the experience. Yes I understand that it’s a smaller restaurant and that the tables represent profit for the establishment but we weren’t sitting there without actively ordering items for nearly the entirety of the dinner. The entrees arrived about 45 minutes after seating which took about 30 minutes to consume. After that we ordered dessert which brought us to the two hour mark by the time it was finished when we were indirectly told to leave. Our table was not loud, disrespectful or demanding. Disappointing ending to what was otherwise a pleasant experience. Don’t think I will return as I’ll spend my money elsewhere at a business that respects its paying customers. At least then they’ll have more open tables.
