this restaurant recently catered an even for a valentine luncheon that i happened to attend this was at one of the local churches in Lodi.. i was very impressed with every thing they served.. i was skeptical due to other Italian Restaurants in the area that had catered different events i had attended and was NOT impressed with them to much of certain Italian spices that were to over powering.. I was so impressed by the great taste of the Tortellini.. loved it.. and the raviolis had just the right spices to make it very tasteful not over powered by certain spices that i had encountered from the other restaurant... great job and great food .. i would eat there for sure..

Just went to this establishment, walked in the door and stood there for a minute or two and had the staff to ignore us. My wife finally ask d if they were open. Oh no we're closed for a private party. Nothing posted on the door. I do enjoy being ignored!

We were looking for Italian comfort food yesterday and found this hidden gem! The service was fantastic, we were treated as family right away! We sat in the outside patio enjoying the beautiful flowers and fountain, and had great conversation with owners Kyle & Heather. The food was absolutely AMAZING! The best Italian soda & fresh focaccia bread I’ve ever eaten, but the BEST was their raviolis! OMG! I could taste right away that everything was made from scratch! I believe I

Placed an order around 5:30pm last night through DoorDash to try this restaurant for the 1st time. At 6:10pm our order was "cancelled" and we were notified by DoorDash that the restaurant was closed when the driver attempted to pick up the order. This is bull**** because the hours on google clearly say they are open until 7:00pm (currently 6:30pm) and recent pics on Yelp state they are open Thurs & Fri nights. How do they expect to get/keep customers if they are not open during their posted hours plus why were we able to order from DoorDash if they were closed?!

No Bueno! Opens at 5:00 pm on Thursdays. We waited until 5:30 and no one showed up or answered the phone.

Wanted to go get this place bad tonight! But upon reading the multiple reviews of it being closed despite the hours saying open on yelp from 5:00-8:00 not to drive there. But I did call several times with no answer and was able to read two reviews of those who had the same problem with the place being closed.

Ordered through door dash and was pretty impressed l. Now there is more then just one place I'd eat at. Had the ravioli with the creamy pesto super good, tri tip very tender and juicy, and a mocha was super tasty, the only thing I wasn't fond of was the tomato soup kinda tart for me but wasn't bad, the cannoli was awesome too.

I can't really leave a positive review, as we have tried to go here the past several months. Each time they have been close!! We know about the hours and went during so called hours. Literally 7 times we have tried and every time they were not open. I finally called on a Thursday and was told they were open Thursday and Friday. I said great we've been trying to go but your always closed. So in the mood for Italian we went on a Friday, Well what a shock it was closed Friday at 5:45pm. I was like no flipping way how is this possible this was our 7th time going and our lastâ€. I highly suggest to call before you go as they are never open. Incase you do go and they are closed there is a great Mexican restaurant there as well as a great Chinese place. We know because that's where we ended up going.
Great little cafe! I'm gluten sensitive and read a few Google reviews that stated they had a lot of options for those that are gluten free and they did not disappoint. I walked in and was greeted by a very nice waitress and the owner who allowed us to adjust the seating to what made us most comfortable. Upon ordering, they made sure they had available the gluten free pasta, which was superb!! The penne pesto is to die for! All sauces are gluten free as well. The only down side is that they don't have any gluten free focaccia bread, but I didn't feel like I was missing out on much. They also made sure to ask my food sensitivities to ensure they handled the food properly, which I very much appreciate, as I cannot tolerate the littlest bit of gluten. Another thing to note is that there was no added fee for ordering gluten free dishes and it remained the same price as the traditional order. Overall, I would recommend, especially to those with a gluten free diet! Friendly on the tummy, and the wallet!

Nice place, with wrought iron chairs that are reminiscent of a European cafe. Was told that similar furnishings on outside deck (it's on the second floor of the shopping center) have a good view of the shopping center for when the weather suits dining " al fresco." Minestrone was excellent; ravioli had very thick dough and was tasty, but should have had more filling. Meat sauce tasted fresh, but was too thin to stick to the raviolis. Service was above average, with the restaurant being run mostly by family members of the owner who were upbeat and friendly. Another diner told me that their lasagna was delicious, so I plan on returning when the weather is nice to try it with a bowl of soup. It's nice to eat in /support family-owned restaurants on principle, too, I believe.
