Excellent authentic Italian food and services. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating!

Would not recommend. Chicken focaccia was subpar at best and the veal dish was tough.

I was in San Antonio for a trip and this was the last meal I ate in San Antonio, I am so upset. I’ll start with the pros.Waiter brought my daughter her food first. Huge pro.The pesto was very basil forward.The building is beautiful and has so much potentialCons.The food was greasy. So much oil it was insane, my husband’s pasta was just sitting in a quarter cup of oil.My chicken in the pesto was super dry and rubberyThe eggplant parm was cooked to death.We didn’t mind that we had styrofoam cups for our water but being told it was because the washer was broken was disconcerting.There’s an additional fee to use a card to pay. It is stated on the menu but the wording sounds like it’s already added to the dishes, it is not, it’s a surprise total at the end of the meal.We saw the hostess use the latte milk foamer to sterilize(?) pitchers.My hot latte was pretty bad tasting but also served in a water glass and was hot I couldn’t drink it for a while due to the cup being so hot to touch.The women’s restroom was gross, smelled, dark, the soap dispenser was difficult to use and the paper towels were held in a to go aluminum container.My stomach is currently so upset I’m scared for my flight, wish me luck??Parking: Weird.Kid-friendliness: Brought the child’s food first.

Not exact italian style as we Europeans expect but food was delicious, service more than professional, and overal score can't be different than maximum. What's important? There was few vegetarian options which I prefer. It's not so usual in Texas.Vegetarian options: Pastas and more

This was a very pleasant surprise. The food was amazing and fairly proportioned. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer and it was nothing but delicious. And all of our main courses were just as amazing. The restaurant itself was quiet with soft music in the background, but we also went at an earlier time. It wasn't too small either...perfect size for an intimate meal. And the waiters were very nice and welcoming. They started you off with water and you could order any other drink if you wanted to. And the food came out at a decent time. Even at the end of the meal, if you wanted to take leftovers, the waiter would pack up your food for you. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you want something small and exquisite.

Service used to be very good, but on this particular time was not good at all rude waiter.Parking: They don't have very many parking spaces, so on busy nights, you will have some difficulty

The first words out of our waiter's mouth after we asked him how his day was: it was supposed to be my day off but my dad made me come in. Had to stop him from leaving so i could get a drink order and didnt bother refilling the very empty glass until I eventually had to ask about a half hourish later.I ordered the carbonara with added chicken, which was bland, greasy, the bacon in large, flimsy grisly chunks, and some really dry cubes of chicken for $5 50. I ended up returning it. Ive had issues with food but ive never once returned a meal. I planned on playing it cool and was just going to leave it at that but it seems the manager and the server did not communicate the returned dish that was left on our bill. At this point I was already tired so we paid and left it at that. We dont live in San Antonio so there arent really any plans to return but I dont think I would if we were local.My wifes lasagna was okay though so at least there's that.

Wood burning pizza oven. Good pasta. Decent wine selection. Tablecloths. Daily specials. Attentive services. Live piano on weekends.

We used to come here quite a bit and I remember loving the Alfredo sauce, sadly, I did not enjoy the Alfredo sauce. This time. It used to be very thick and flavorful but tonight it was bland and buttery. I also had the lasagna, it was great as per usual. The server was great, I ordered calamari, he brought out a homebrew cocktail sauce along with the red sauce that comes with it, the cocktail sauce disappeared. I'll be back, we'll see if they get that alfredo worked out.

The food, service and ambiance were great! It isn't exactly a place for younger kids but it is a great place for a date night. There is 4% added if you use card. Overall we were happy and would definitely recommend it.
