Great spot for hearty classic Italian dishes. Comfy seating, friendly service, solid wine list, lots of app and salad options. I loved the Chicken Marsala, and one buddy throughly enjoyed the special. Fire pasta was a little too spicy, and Chicken Piccata was a little too lemony.

Great wine, great food, and great atmosphere. Excellent staff. This is our go to place for a nice quiet dinner.
They have a full bar - which is really nice!
It's always best to make a reservation.

We dined her on Saturday. The place was far from busy. We received our drinks after our food, the bread they offered had no flavor, the butter was frozen. The actual pasta was decent but the chicken was like chewing rubber. I would not recommend wasting your money at this place.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and very reasonably priced. To find all three at the same time in the Lake Chelan area is harder than you would think.

Just had dinner and it was awesome. If you are a seafood person I recommend the Seafood stew. Sooo good!! Thanks Chris and thanks to our waitress Holly. We loved it.

Nice restaurant, nice ambiance, good service… However, the food is just “OK”. For the price we paid, we expect more. The quality of the meat is sub-par. Preparation, OK, nothing special. For the price I paid, I expect more.

The food was excellent. The service was terrible. The server switched wine on us, which I guess is my fault Then she overcharged me for the wine which I didn’t catch him until later Not the best deal in chelan They won’t get my recommendation

The atmosphere for 30th anniversary dinner was terrific. I'm not sure if our waiter was new but the service was awkward, we ordered a white wine and he brought us a red. We tried to order 3 different wines and we awkwardly settled on something we never asked about. If you're sensitive to spicy be aware the marinara on the side penne has a kick, I wish I hadn't ordered it as I am unfortunately sensitive. It had good flavor, just not something I can eat. My husband said his chicken piccatta was terrific. We'd go back but I'd order differently for me.

Ceasar salad was awful, seafood stew has no flavor, speggetti, and meat balls WAY too HOT.

Went there for our anniversary. Cute little restaurant. We didn't have reservations, but the server was very nice and managed to squeeze us in. The place was small, so I definitely would make reservations ahead of time. We had the chicken fettuccine alfredo, which was delicious!! The sauce wasn't too heavy, and the chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly! And the ceasar salad was really fresh and light. Had the lava cake for desert. Amazing food for the price, and I would definitely go back again.

This evening was a tad frustrating because the food was so darn close to being incredible. The ambiance was nice, staff was friendly and the right amount of attentive, the cocktails were great, but a little overpriced even for a resort town. $17.5 for a 5 oz drink is a bit excessive.
Food wise is where some self reflection on back of house management could result in huge improvement.
#1 being the chronic overuse of pre-shredded parm on everything. That doesn't need to be on fish, mushrooms, a mountain on 1 piece of bread.... replace the parm with fresh chopped parsley and you're already doing way better. If you're going to use parm at all, go with fresh off the wedge and microplaned over the dish after the pass by the expo.
#2 don't be so afraid to add salt and citrus. Any seafood dish should come with a lemon wedge.
#3 the attention to detail in prepping veg could be improved. Currently, it's very rustic for the high end "vibe" this place is going for. The veg on all dishes were undercooked because of how... chunky... they were.
#4 although the chicken parm was well breaded and crispy and the penne pasta al dente the marinara was super chunky and unblended. That sauce should have been smooth. To quote Thomas Kellar "a sauce does not go from one container to another without first passing through a fine mesh chinois"
Overall, it was a good meal, just felt tired and uninspired... the "love" that makes italian cuisine so spectacular was missing.
Also the traditional menus but the tablet for the drink list was kind of strange.
I'd give it a try again in the future if they promise to put down the pre shredded cheese haha
