Hudson was our waiter and was excellent! Attentive, personable, mature, professional & informative but not constantly in your face. He was very helpful in our ordering and everything we ate was amazing! My husband had the Triple tail and said it was outstanding & I had the stuffed eggplant which was phenomenal! I am originally from New York and generally do not find Italian food in FL to be as authentic as NY Italian food. However every bite of food here was better than the last! Just amazing!!! We will be sure to tell everyone we know about this tremendous experience & restaurant!!! By the way the Tiramisu was the best I have ever had. My husband’s ganache key lime was outstanding too!! Thank you so much!!

Very nice ambiance with a wonderful guitar player singer playing softly. Nice people. Nice place. But ... it took a long time to get our food. It was ready and waiting. We could see it on the hot shelf waiting for the server to pick it up. It sat and sat while she did other things. When it got to us, it was not hot. Then, the stuffed eggplant portion was 2, smaller than appetizer pieces for $25. Literally 4 bites. The pizza, which we had asked for to be well done and crisp crust came out soggy. And for $24. it was a 12 inch pizza. So, maybe we picked the wrong food, came on the wrong night ( Friday). I know this is under new ownership. They will have to do better.

The server was excellent. We enjoyed the ambiance like we did a few years ago. We were looking for a more authentic Italian menu but didn't think it was offered. Our wood fired pizza was only ok.

Great owners who are hands on and make you feel very comfortable. Their service expectations are evident in the staff as well. Food was outstanding as this is our 3rd visit in the last 6 weeks. Nicely done!

I've been really wanting to try this place for a while and I was finally able to! The restaurant is tiny but perfect for that at home feel. It wasn't very busy but there was only like one and half servers present. I say half because I couldn't tell if there were two but the one did amazing juggling all her tables and being super friendly and not missing an opportunity to tell us about the specials. The bread was complimentary and interesting. I'm not sure I'd say it was garlic bread but it was fluffy and pretty good. I ended up having fettuccine with chicken and it was so tasty! The sauce was thick in a good way and super creamy! I will be back to try some other menu items! Especially dessert, I was so stuffed I sadly had to pass.

We loved this cozy restaurant with great food and service. Prices were reasonable, and we loved the mellow live music on Friday evening. We'll definitely return!

I celebrated my valentine dinner here and it was a very nice choice.My wife and I choose a fried calamari for appetizer, the sauce was really good with a little spice touch, a good portion portion for sharing.My wife entree, a mushroom risotto, hmmmm absolutely delicious. Recommended.I got a beef, pork and veal meatballs (3) with linguine. I particularly love the meatballs and I was very happy with the flavor and portion.It was a little dry about the sauce and a asked for extra Parmesan cheese.We were so full that didn’t try the desserts. Definitely to try next time.I strongly recommend to make reservations. Place is small but cozy. Not to much privacy around the interior tables.Good place for a nice date.Parking: You can park across the street at Walgreens or in the next door cabinets store.

I recommend the restaurant for sure. Two people with no drinks - just water was $130 but the food was good. We got the chicken cacciatore and fettuccine Alfredo with scallops. The meals were very good however, we would both rate them at an eight or nine only because they weren't salted to our taste, and there was no salt or pepper on the table and nobody asked if we wanted any. My husband got the. Caesar salad and I got the arugula salad. My husband loved the Caesar salad and I did not like the arugula salad. It was very bitter and nothing but the salad and a couple pieces of Parmesan sliced cheese. We got the tomato Caprese, which was amazing for dessert. My husband got the crème brûlée, and I got the salted caramel cheesecake. I would give my cheesecake at seven out of 10. The restaurant is very small and although the atmosphere was nice or were white tablecloths on the table, I still would read it four out of five because the tables were so close together you couldn't barely squeeze between tables to get seated and were basically sitting with a foot of other couples. I still would very much recommend this restaurant to anybody.
This was truly authentic Italian food!!! The heat veal I have had! It's our first time there and I'm already looking forward to our next visit - planning on having the seared duck breast then. Great service and very happy friendly staff! The photo wall was so beautiful too!
Wonderful dinner! Lobster & shrimp lasagna, arugula salad. Heavenly. Others in our group had the mahi mahi, veal bucatini and a pizza. Everything was delicious. Server was delightful!

What a great cozy spot. We sat outside and it was beautiful. You're away from the ruckus of live bands at the restaurants down the street. We got the chicken parmesan and grouper piccata. The dishes were so delicious. Will definitely be back to try the wood fired pizza.

What's not great ?? The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and helpful. They have a nice wine selection, and we've not been disappointed. The place is small, so get there before 530p or make a reservation.Parking: Parking is across the street, so just be aware.

The food is excellent. Service was fantastic. Hidden gem. I had the special-wood fired mahi with Calabrian chili butter, garlic polenta cake and sautéed mixed mushrooms. The fish was cooked to perfection. This place is great.
