First off the atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic. The service was amazing and the staff was super friendly. The food was off the chart though. I had the ravioli with the basil cream sauce and it was quite possibly the best I've ever had. Next time I'm in town I will be coming back!

Worst Stramboli i think i have ever had. $5.00 for a salad with iceberg lettuce and a couple thin slices of tomatoes. Nothing else in the salad. Atmosphere is in shopping center that looks like it should have been demolished 10 yrs ago. Eddie's to the South in Plano is 10x what this place is.

Average Italian Food. While the Abruzzi bread was fantastic, the pasta e fagioli was all beans. The salads were fresh and crisp but the bresciolle was dry even with the very plain red sauce.

Our favorite neighborhood restaurant! You can't go wrong with any of their pasta dishes! Dining-in or getting to-go, everything is plentiful and enjoyable.Our simple favorites are the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo or the Spaghetti with Meatballs. And the Chicken Agnolotti is mouthwatering!

Went here on recommendation of a friend. There was a line as we arrived around 5:30. Met a lovely couple who have been dining here for years. It’s difficult to describe, has a wonderful vibe of a quaint neighborhood place to enjoy a meal with friends. BYOB just adds to it but isn’t the reason to come. The food is plentiful and enjoyable. The staff was very attentive and Joe is the real deal Italian owner. Thanks Joe and staff for a providing and hometown feel!The other Jo ;)

The best Italian in the metroplex. BYOB, outdoor seating, great service.12.17.23 Our family has been dining here for over a decade now. My personal suggestion after all of theses years. Tomato cream gnocchi and add fried prosciutto.
The Gnocchi is excellent and a much larger portion size than expected! Very good!

We ordered take out from Covino’s on the referral of our neighbor. We had previously lived in Chicago for a decade and miss some authentic Italian dishes in our time here in Plano so far. We were very happy with all that we ordered - we got the Carbonara, Gnocci with tomato cream sauce and some buttered noodles for the kids. It came with some amazing fresh bread that 3 house salads. This was a great restaurant find for us and we will definitely be back! Hoping to try out dinner in the dining room soon!Kid-friendliness: They do offer butter/oil garlic noodles for kids. Probably could ask for noodles to come plain as well. Did not see a kids menu though.

We waited for 45 minutes outside to be seated, so I expected the food to be great. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The soup was served cold, the garlic and cheese bread was just a heated bun with melted cheese on it, and the chicken aristocrat was the worst. The penne was undercooked (rubbery texture). The sauce was salty, and the chicken and eggplant were cold.The only thing that was good were the double fried wings. Joe, the owner, came over to our table and questioned my constructive criticism.For the record, I have over 25 years of kitchen experience. I should know if food is undercooked or not.

Can't say enough good things about this place! Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Would be a great spot for a date night. Romantic feel but still casual. Very reasonably priced. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

100% legit
Just moved down the street. Was looking for some authentic Italian food. Reasonably priced. Everything is made in-house. The gravy is next level. I first ordered the Baked Ziti and I was so satisfied and impressed. I came back the very next day and got the deep dish cheese pizza. Hands down, best spot in town. The Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They're fast, if you're picking up. Environment is classic. Not too fancy, but also very clean and well put together. Vibe feels very relaxing, romantic and would be a great place for a casual date night. You can tatse the love in every dish served. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I will be a regular by the end of next month. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Must try!!!
