This place is kinda hidden. Their sign is completely blocked by a tree. I'm happy we found them though. For some reason most of the Italian restaurants that I know in our area have closed. You still have the big chains but alot of the smaller restaurants have closed. I like expensive Italian food as much as the next guy but it's really nice to have a place locally that I can walk out of spending less than $100. We got the chicken parm and the tricolor tortellini, with some deep fried raviolis for about 60 bucks. Tasted great. Sauce was buttery and garlicky on the tortellini. Chicken parm was quite large and had some nice color on the cheese. Never had deep fried raviolis before but That's going to be my go-to going forward. A textural wonderland. Much better than your big chain restaurants. Service was impeccable. My water glass was never empty. Will definitely visit again.

This is my favorite place to come when I'm in Tacoma (so far). It's such a cute place for lunch with the atmosphere and even better for dinner. We had the calamari and the caprese for appetizers (the calamari was a tad overcooked but honestly it's hit or miss with calamari and so easy to accidentally overcook) it was still good and the caprese is *chefs kiss*. We split the Tricolor Tortellini and had a salad that I didn't get a picture of, and this has been one of the best things I've eaten since I moved to Washington. The garlic cream sauce is amazing, and the artichoke hearts with the tomato is just like the cherry on top. I order this every time I'm here and would even get a second order to go because it's so good. 10/10 would eat so much here because it's all been amazing, and I'm already planning what I'm going to have next time we come! They have the ability to seat large groups (both times going have seen a group of 10 people/family here) buy would likely need to call ahead, I've never had to call for a reservation but we also haven't gone during very peak times.Vegetarian options: Caprese, fried ravioli, various salads and tri color ratingWheelchair accessibility: Both entrances do not have steps

We had a lemon chicken special for lunch last weekend and it was AMAZING! Literally came home and searched for a recipe to make a similar dish (no such luck). My friend with me has a shellfish allergy and we didn’t realize shrimp was part of the special. The waitress promptly took the plate back and had the chef remake the dish. She was so nice and efficient through the entire experience! Highly recommend stopping by when you’re in proctor.

I had Lasagna it was amazing ?. I wish I took a pic. The service was great.
I stumbled upon this place while searching for a decent Italian restaurant in the area at the last moment. Google directed us to park behind the restaurant, but you can park on the street out front if there is space. We were a little confused if we could walk from in the back door for the restaurant to the front, but thank goodness we chose to walk around to the front, because the back door is not intended for entry for customers. I wish that was more obvious. It was a Saturday evening so they were fairly busy, but we got lucky because a couple was leaving from the bar area so we were able to get seated there. I enjoyed the seat because we were in the bar area but at the front window so we could enjoy people watching during dinner.The staff was kind and attentive. The atmosphere was laid back and easy going for the most part. Not stuffy or uptight. Which I appreciate for a chill meal with my niece.Before our ordered food was ready, we were offered bread to go with the olive oil and balsamic already on the table. I chose not to have any, so I am unable to say if it was good or not. It was Italian bread cut into 4 hunks. I ordered the calamari and it was fresh, crispy, and nicely seasoned and a tad oily, but that is typical I suppose. It was served with an aioli and lemon wedge. It was extremely crispy and had varying sizes of actual calamari pieces. For my entree, I ordered the seafood medley with the white wine lemon butter sauce. The dish came with a choice of salad or soup and I opted for the salad with Italian dressing. I was not very impressed by the salad. It was very basic which can be okay if done nicely, but there were some dirty sliced mushrooms thrown in there an American lettuce salad mix and the dressing tasted like a typical bottled dressing. The pasta was nice and hot and had all of the seafood it says on the menu. The pasta was linguine and it was served al dente. It was seasoned nicely but I think it could have had more lemon and or wine flavor, but I still enjoyed it. I attempted to order the Kahlua chocolate mousse cake, but they were all out, so I had the tiramisu and it was okay.Overall, I am happy with my visit and meal. This is a restaurant (in my opinion) for an outing with a friend(s) or family, but not for a romantic upscale date night.

First off, Richard gave us the best service we’ve had in many years ANYWHERE! We walked in, sat down, and couldn’t believe how fast we had drinks and appetizers. The food is phenomenal! Super authentic, made to order and delicious! I can’t wait to come back. ❤️
