Went in on a Saturday night, hungry for some good, authentic Italian cooking. Oops. The server was nice but not well prepared to answer any questions. The wine I wanted was not available, same with the sparkling water. The pasta was overcooked and not drained properly, so the meat sauce (grandly advertised as Bolognese, but really just chunks of hamburger with some tomatoes, onions, and garlic), was watery. My dessert was 2 tiny and pretty stale cannoli and an espresso followed by an amaro (which seemed to amuse the bar regulars). All in all, not a welcoming place. The last straw was the small print announcement on the menu, almost an apology, that said that if you didn't pay in cash, they would unfortunately have to charge a 4% fee. When did it become my responsibility as a patron to pay for your credit card processing fees? Last but not least, the helpful tip guide on the check started at 20% and went up from there...

Me and my fiancé visited this restaurant last night for dinner. I got the fettuccine Alfredo and He got the gnocchi alla bolongaise. The restaurant was booked for the night at 5pm. Keep in mind they close at 10 and we either had to sit in the corner with chairs fit for kids by the door or the bar. My and my fiance don't drink so we were forced to take out. The fettuccine was watery and the sauce was clumpy, the chicken was equivalent to boiled and not even salted. The gnocchi sauce was so watered down that it sat in the corner of the pan away from the noodles. Like it had separated in the 10 minutes we had gotten home. We spend 45 dollars on the both of us and we would have been better off literally anywhere else. Service was horrible as we had to wait on a bench for 20 minutes just to eat somewhere else. NOT WORTH IT.

Stopped in for the first time last night and our expectations were exceeded in every way possible. The atmosphere reminds me of a quaint Italian kitchen. The food and service were both exceptional! My husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our date night there and have now found one of our new favorite places to dine.The place is small but in my opinion that only adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. Already looking forward to our next visit!!

Be aware reserving a table online. They’ll say they have a spot but when you get there it’s most likely bar seating or right next to the door. They also canceled our reservation once we got there.

Delicious food, that always tastes fresh. Gluten free lasagna that is very good. It's a small place so a reservation is suggested.

I was craving Italian after work. I found this restaurant. From the moment I walked inI was judged by the employees. I was wearing blue jeans and a hoodie and everyone else was dressed nice. The food was not what I expected the sauce watered down the meatballs were horrible. For dessert I ordered creme brule which was ice cold it's served better warm and torched on top. I'm sure if another customer would have ordered it they would have served it the correct way. My advice to this restaurant is you never know who your serving so treat everyone the same. And the bread was burnt.

Food wasted worth $120 for Two people I won't be back not worth it at all. I would rather go to Zane's Italian Bistro it's worth the price.

With the small town feel and friendly wait staff, the atmosphere was oh so pleasant. The food was delicious, and was true to the itialian culture from whence it was derived.
So I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time, mostly due to another Yelp member's checkins. I always thought I would drive by it but it is tucked in a retail center. After finding parking I wandered into coziness. So cozy I thought the chef might come out of the kitchen! Con te Partirò was playing above my head. When it was time to order, I went with the meat lasagna and it came with a caesar salad, which was perfect. The bread was also hearty and fresh. The meat lasagna arrived to Strangers in the Night playing; however, I was not a stranger to lasagna and I will attest to this lasagna being one of the best I've eaten. For dessert, which I do not order often, I went with the tiramisu. It arrived to the song, "I did it my way!" To better describe dessert the song title needs to change to, "They did it my way!" It was a perfect ending. The service was perfect and not overbearing. My server was very polite and attentive. Dishes were cleared appropriately with the exception of one minor hiccup. The butter was cleared with a piece of bread left in the basket. Fortunately, like bocce ball there are no deductions for this. If find yourself in Parker stop by this restaurant and enjoy some great food. If you're a wine drinker it looks like they have some great selections for you!

A worthy place to go! I was VERY happy with portion sizes, because I’ve been to several other Italian restaurants in the area that don’t give you enough to justify calling something an entree. Bread and the glass of wine I ordered were excellent. Small hangup was that the space was a wee bit small, and since it wasn’t full of patrons I didn’t like being put in the middle. (In this instance, baby does want to be put in the corner). My carbonara was well-portioned but slightly less flavorful than I expected. Crème brûlée was good to end the meal. If I’m craving local Italian food and I’m over by this way I’ll keep this lovely lil place in mind!Dietary restrictions: I did not order any, but there are several gluten free options I saw on the menu.

The food was very bland. The chicken was undercooked on the chicken parm and the risotto was par cooked and very starchy.
