First time coming here for my husbands birthday dinner and it exceeded beyond my expectations, the service was top tier, food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was great! I would definitely be back and recommend to anyone looking for the best Italian restaurants in Galveston.
The food is not bad, service was nice. But I don't know if that was a special night, but it was super noisy, I couldn't hear my son from the other side of the table.

After two days of failed attempts to find a "good" restaurant in Galveston, I stumbled on a gold mine. Really, really good food. Excellent unpretentious wait staff, fresh food and ingredients, a stellar wine list, wrapped in a 1940s dinner club atmosphere. Transport yourself to a finer time in a quality restaurant and at discounted prices! An exceptional experience. Ask for Liz. She went above and beyond!

Sundays! Fried chicken and Bolognese. Highly recommend this Galveston Locals deal. Incredible service. Great menu. Fantastic food. On Sundays is all about the fried chicken and the pasta. The spicy fried chicken is delicious and has great flavor. The kids will love this.

Wonderful all around. Would recommend the 3 tomato pasta. Bread is great and all the desserts. Went two nights in a row. Can't wait to come back! FYI the chicken breading isn't crispy it's not my personal fav but the rest was great. And the seafood was on point. Marinara sauce perfect.

Excellent meal with excellent service. My wife was happy with the wine selection and my drink was made with much gusto tableside. Our salads were on point and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Dessert was ridiculously good and beautifully presented (and made in-house). Will be a go to in Galveston.
The food from appetizer, main and desert were exceptional and the service was excellent. I had crab cakes st Louis and the sauce pasta and crisp crab cake were the best thing I have ever tasted. Service was awesome.
Everything was great except the Grotto Salad.... This was very disappointing as it was just plate with lettuce.... Very little ingredients! Branzino and Crab Fingers were Top Notch!

Service was lacking. Food seemed as if it sat in the window for a bit. Large party so it was noisy. We frequent this establishment and we will return, and hopefully have a different server.

We go here often, but this time and the last, we've had subpar service. It's usually great service. The mixed drinks were not great, either. Again, this is unusual. We won't be back for a while, I'm afraid.
