Abel was an excellent waiter. Attentive. Fun. Sauces were lacking fullness and vibrance. I had Angel Hair primavera. Dry. Too much ricotta cheese which was not necessary .Pasta tucco had tasty sauce but the sausage link was too much and not that tasty. Wine down Wednesday = $10 less a bottle for Italian wines. I would go back and give it another try. Great atmosphere. Attentive staff.

Amazing home made potato chips with truffle dip. Pizza delicious, perfect crust, not too thick or too thin.

My sister and I ate here for the very first time, and we can gladly say that everything was wonderful! The atmosphere was relaxing, and the pastas were absolutely delicious! They tasted different and unique compared to other Italian restaurants. Our waitress was kind, too. We will definitely come here again!

One of our favorite, local spots! We love the service and the food here. We also like that you can sit on the patio on nicer days. They have consistently good service and food even for our pickiest, and always get my order right when I order things without dairy (it’s apparently an harder request to accomplish than you would think.). Great ambiance for a date or families. The only thing I would like to see is a bit more flavor in the tomato sauce - just garlic salt and pepper would go a long way with enhancing the flavors. But the latter is a suggestion from a person that can’t have cheese on pizza so take it for what it’s worth lol. Overall a wonderful local business we’re happy to support. :)

Fantastic service, food was tasty, portions were just right. Prices are a little bit high but quality makes up for it. Pollo Parmesan was excellent, Meatball appetizer was ok but a little bland for Italian meatballs, Ceasar Side Salad was excellent!

Excellent service either way Megan. Food was amazing. Very authentic. Didn't feel like those copycat Italian restaurants. Super friendly. Wonderful atmosphere. They should've been playing Dean Martin music though! Highly recommend this place. We live in the South Padre Island.

We had a really nice dinner here and were very pleasantly surprised by some of our dinner options. The prosciutto and arugula wood-fired pizza was extremely good. The cheese tasted slightly garlicky, and the crust was very nicely done - very fresh. The shrimp bianca cappolini pasta was "exquisite" according to my wife. "The sauce had a really nice complexity to it that hit all the taste buds in the right ways" (also from my wife). Try the Sancerre!

The service was slow and the food arrived cold/warm. My server Jule seemed to not have very much information about the menu when asked questions. She barely checked on my table to see if we needed anything or how we were doing. The manager came over so we provided feedback about the slow service and food temperature. The response to this was our server becoming confrontational about our concerns. This was poor customer service from the manager and our server. This was a horrible experience for trying this place for the first time.
