“Outstanding authentic Italian food! We were a party of five and everyone loved their entrees while we shared several appetizers. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. One of the entrées had lobster cooked to perfection! There are some great cocktails and excellent choices for wine by the glass. Deserts were too delicious. Service was outstanding and the decor was enjoyable. With so many choices in Nola, this one is very highly recommended!“

“My sweetheart and I just left from having brunch here. I found them on Instagram awhile back and saved them to my list of places to try. From the impeccable service to the delectable food, this place is a must try! The ambience is really nice and welcoming. Krystal was a great waitress! We enjoyed the mimosa flight, chicken & waffles, and the ribeye. I had the ribeye, eggs, and grits. I don’t eat steak that often but when I tell you it’s worth it. It’s worth it. No steak sauce needed because it was cooked and seasoned to perfection! Hats off to the chef! We highly recommend and we’ll be back!“
