We've been twice now, once was a sit down dinner with friends and second we got take out. Both times the food was mediocre at best. The bread is dense and almost sour tasting. There is no wine list only "house" varieties. The food took an extremely long time to come out. The kitchen seemed like it was burning something and it just permiated the dining area. We were really disappointed since we had heard great things from people. I'd say this is a very minor step up from olive garden.

The best Italian restaurant in alllll of North Houston. The food is incredible. I recommend trying EVERYTHING on the menu. The owners and staff are adorable I look forward to eating here every Friday night!!!

This is a must stop for coffee, and the amazing offering of pies both sweet and savory. I would say it’s a must stop for the staff and owners truly exquisite.. Excellent in every way possible and truly delicious. Thank you all for making my first day in San Jose spectacular! Muchas

For a small place it’s packed with experience!! The food was top tier! The music (that piano man played every song from every genre in every year! He is amazing! He even played Happy Birthday for our party) and the ambiance was relaxing and inviting. All the staff were friendly, just wish the service was faster, but for a small place I will definitely be back. Been two weekends in a row with two different birthdays and I will be back even more. Great value for your money and time. Loved it!!!! 10/10 DO RECOMMEND! ?

Not a family restaurant. Does not welcome toddlers and is definitely not kid friendly. Our two year old saw a display of heart shaped valentine balloons and took one off the wall. I ran to a waitress and let her know that he took the balloon. I apologized and I asked her if it would be ok for my son to keep the balloon. She let me know that it was completely ok and that he could have it. After tying the balloon to his wrist and letting him play with it a different waiter came with another smaller non helium balloon and asked for the heart one back and took it from my son. Which made him cry. As I was gathering our things and my son so I could walk out to the car and wait for my husband to pay an elderly entitled couple at the table next to us let me know that they were bothered by my son crying that the noise hurt their ears. It was just a terrible experience and it was a sad way to celebrate my son’s 2nd birthday and my husband’s 50th birthday. It made what could’ve been a nice memory a sad and upsetting family birthday memory. All because of a heart shaped balloon that probably cost less than 5 dollars.
Came on a date. Delicious food. Nice Chianti. No wine list just named some grapes so know what you like and let them know. Calamari was super good Cesar was too. Carbonara was amazing. Chicken parm was super good too. Def check it

The food was mediocre. My spaghetti has been very sour for me. Lasagna was ok. This place has bad ventilation and needs improvement. The smog from the kitchen stays in the banquet room it is hard to breathe and even you can see white smog in the air. ? The service was good.

Came here on a Wednesday night and were helped right away by the VERY awesome and friendly Jada S.We were fans of the fresh complimentary bread and vinaigrette.We ordered the lobster bisque and house salad to start. I enjoyed the bisque, but my boyfriend was a little bored with its flavor.Our entrees were the house Mahi Mahi with linguine and the Romano Chicken. We ended up switching entrees because we liked each other’s more, however, we both thought the green cream in the Mahi Mahi was slightly bland. Lastly, for drinks, I was very pleased with Jada’s knowledge of wine, because I have next to none, and suggested a sweet red wine I enjoyed, but my boyfriend felt his Sprite was flat.
