A hidden gem in St Clair with amazing Italian food. Pasta is all homemade and absolutely delicious! My favorite Italian restaurant in Michigan. Highly recommend.

We went to their first murder mystery dinner last and it was a blast. They did a fantastic job at setting this up. We will definitely participate in this again, even though my husband turned out to be the murderer (lol). The food was good and the staff was great.

Food was subpar. Not worth the price. Was seated next to under age girls worried about cops seeing them through the window while they were wine tasting cause they were friends with the waitress...until she walked away anyway. Was served bread with no plates, silverware or napkins. I'm pretty sure my food was done quickly, would have been nice had it been served immediately as it was cold. I asked for it to be heated which I was told I would get a new one but got the same one with my half eaten portion moved to the middle of the plate and hidden by extra sauce but I didn'tcare I was starving by that point since I couldn't finish my salad that tasted like the lettuce was unwashed. The wine was nicely chilled. That's about the only pro. It may have been a bad night for them but the atmosphere was enough as it was louder than your average bar. Definitely will not be returning.

Service was great! Calamari was really good, as well as the canoli. Our food was bland and the chicken was very tough. Wine selection was as pretty good.

What a wonderful place!! We were one of 2 couples there when we went, so it was like having the place to ourselves. Cozy, warm atmosphere. Great drinks. Great food. We WILL be going there more! Our server, Alicia, was phenomenal!!

Some of the best food and service I have ever seen in the Saint Clair area! Our waitress was Alicia, greeted us well, memorizing some of the special requests for the food choices was able to multi task and did a good job helping giving us great choices. Not only is it a restaurant but a winery! Had a sweet like strawberry wine and it wasn’t too sweet or too strong it was perfect! The food was the most authentic style Italian food I probably ever had, I have been to New York City in the last year eating at the some of best Italian restaurants and I would probably put this above places I been to and spent 3x as much. If you want to try something super unique I recommend the banana crepes, like in Italian pancake you can’t get anywhere unless homemade. Definitely will be coming back cause of how different style the food is and feeling like I am in Italy. I will be recommending to multiple people about the service, food, and environmental experience!

This place could be better. What normally stops us from going here, is the thought of the service. The service has always been slowwww. I can’t tell if they low on staff or they just don’t put enough people on the floor. The wait staff doesn’t seem to have assigned sections, so they have to run all over the restaurant serving people, from what I observed.The owners are nice, but could help their staff during busy times. They really like to chat it up with customers and friends while their staff is struggling. Seems like this is a fun business adventure for them and the lack of experience shows.Dinner menu is good. Great sauce and gluten free noodles. I don’t recommend the charcuterie board if you go for breakfast. It’s overpriced for nothing delicious. Seemed like the pancakes were the prepackaged microwave type. Bacon seemed microwaved too.Overall, if you’re not in a rush and you want to pay top dollar for OK food, go here.Dietary restrictions: They have good gluten free noodles!

The bread and butter were outstanding! As were our salads. We ordered 2 chicken dishes and while the sauce and pasta were good, they were overshadowed by the bland chicken. Hard to cut, not trimmed very well, or properly flattened and definitely could have used a light coating before frying. Almost as if the chicken was done a flat top and not pan fried.In my picatta, the artichoke petals were not easily eaten as compared to using cut up artichoke hearts.
