Some of the best Italian fare I've had in the world. This is a must have & worth the drive from the city. Just Love Love Love the flavors here. Prices are incredibly reasonable.

Had a great meal. And great service . I don't think a dirty plate sat on our table for more than 1 minute. Desert was fabulous. Can't wait to go again.

Well I must say service was amazing. Food just wonderful. Zucchini app delicious, cesar salad just right, lasagna interesting as not typical but still very good and mini cannoli spot on fantastic. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

This is my first negative review, but I feel very strongly about this. Let's start with the beginning: the salad and bread with oil were terrible. I was at a table of eight and five of us ditched the salad after one bite. As for the bread, I believe that the oil they used with the bread was peanut oil. Whatever it was, it was not olive oil. We had two appetizers-- Bruschetta Dei Monti and calamari. The toast was burnt for the Bruschetta Dei Monti. The calamari tasted like three deep fried shoelaces. I am saying three because it was as thick as a hot wheels tire. I swallowed it whole to avoid spitting it out in public. Yikes. The staff tried their best to cope with the amount of people in the restaurant, but our waitress did not listen to me when I told her that the dish she was holding was mine. I made several attempts to get her attention as she stood in front of me asked who ordered the lasagna. I tried to grab the dish, I told her several times, and eventually did a little wave to try to get her attention from one foot away. When I tasted the lasagna, I realized it wasn't worth getting her attention anyway. There was no flavor and the noodles had an awful texture. It was a meaty mess Desserts were good! That is where the star comes from. Maybe they are better on a less busy night, but I wouldn't risk it.

As usual, everything delicious. I bought ten chicken and asparagus meatballs for my dinner the next day. My husband loved them and you also gave me the sauce to go with them. For dinner at Barolo I had the Grouper, it was amazing. I have never had a bad meal here. Love everything about this place. Went with two friends and one of them is in Chemo for breast cancer. To our surprise someone at the restaurant picked up our tab along with the tip. We don't know who did it, but that person has a special place in heaven!!

The food was inedible one entree passed a test it was a filet .five people dined here .one ordered red snapper the fish was so hard you could not eat it , the veal Parmesan, veal was like shoe leather could not cut ,chewy .lobster ravioli did not taste good with red sauce .the rigatoni And sausage and peppers was passable , no real taste Sausage was hard ! I can’t believe an Italian restaurant had such awful I mean awful food .save ur money eat a frozen dinner or make some Ragu and pasta yourself .this place is disgusting !!!!!!!!!!

Came here after recommendations from a friend and was NOT disappointed! Huge portion sizes and great fresh bread. Cocktail pours were generous and our waitress was fantastic!

They were very understaffed one guy and 1 girl Customers were scattered all through the restaurant we saw the bus girl more than we did our server. Although Ajay was extremely nice And stated things were going slow we didn't realise there was 2 servers no host no bartender. My better half's food was delicious as mine was not very good. The martini was excellent! We were so excited because we heard such great things about the establishment unfortunately we will not be coming back! I also must mention the female server tried shoving us at a table we did not want to be at instead of the window then lied to us stating she needs to keep customers separated only that table was closer to the other customers than the one we ended up sitting at nobody wants to sit next to the water cart bus station. My advice to this very loud server girl do not lie to your customers it gives you a bad name and the establishment.

Wanted to enjoy a nice meal at a slow pace in a warm environment. Wow! Hit on all three! It's a rarity to actually get fresh pasta! What a difference from those chains that promise it, but don't deliver! Our server AJ was great. All I can say about dessert is save room for a cannoli!! Will definitely be back.

Laura Capps

What a gem, went there because we wanted Italian for our Anniversary and let me say we weren't disappointed. Highly recommended for authenticity, taste, service and ambiance. Don't let the outside fool you. This is a gem and impeccable service. Love, love, love it!
