We had a scallops over pasta special, a beef ravioli dish special, and several fettuccine plates. In each case, the homemade noodles were delicious and the respective dishes were authentic, fresh, and the flavors were both full and well-balanced. The homemade tiramisu and lemoncello desserts were light and refreshing and must-haves. The owner and chef Salvatore Robilotta came by our table to make sure all was well and my family enjoyed the conversation we shared. Highly recommend this place and we are rooting for Salvatore to have continued success as he keeps doing his dream and doing what he loves.

Hands down the best Italian food I’ve had in Virginia. Sal was incredibly hospitable and made sure that our meal and overall experience were above and beyond what we were expecting. I was looking for something specific and he met the challenge of creating the perfect dish for me without hesitation. This will be my go to suggestion from now on for authentic, homemade Italian food.

Authentic Italian. Best food I've had in ages.

In regards to Covid procedures this business provided spacing between tables, staff did wear masks, and protocols appeared to be met. As far as food goes this was a very disappointing experience. My meal smelled like a petting zoo and tasted like feet. All of my noodles stuck together in one big clump when I went to twirl a bit of pasta. The white wine was extremely strong in my sons meal, while the other two meals at the table were very bland. This restaurant had such excellent reviews and boasted on everything being homemade. We so looked forward to an authentic and delicious experience. Unfortunately, that was not case at all this evening. I don't mind paying more for food when it's delicious. Tonight the prices were extremely high and the food was awful.

We ordered food from here tonight via Uber eats. Pasta was blah! Was called by Uber driver to tell me we couldn't get pizza as they were out of it. How is a Italian place out of pizza. Food was terrible. Didn't include utensils. Bad bad experience!

I can't say enough about this wonderful Italian restaurant. I had such a hard time deciding from the menu because everything looked amazing. Sal is the owner and chef and he makes almost everything from scratch. This place reminds me of the small restaurants that I visited, during my numerous vacations in Italy. Meals are supposed to be relaxing and fun. It's got a great happy hour at the bar and the floor decor is very attractive and comfortable. I loved the pillows on the benches.

Super legit.Food: homemade mozzarella and pasta. The sauces were all amazing.Service: very attentive and offered suggestions and specials.I really appreciate this place. Keep a lookout for a complimentary appetizer coupon at the local farmers markets.

My girlfriend and I decided to try a new local place tonight. We discovered it at a farmers market a couple weekends ago where we met a man named Salvatore, the owner. He's from Italy so we knew the food would be authentic and it was. We were not disappointed. Everything from the pasta, bread, and sauce were homemade. The owner sat and talked with us and gave us a free loaf of bread to take home. Definitely coming back and I highly recommend this place ?

Absolutely wonderful meal! Our first visit and we will be back to try more dishes off of the menu. The complementary bread is homemade, as is the mozzarella caprese and many of the pasta dishes. We had the spinach ravioli with sage butter sauce and a fettuccine dish with a white wine cream sauce, mushroom and chicken, followed by cannolis for dessert. There is also a great happy hour special on wine from 5-7 which was unexpected. The chef/owner came out twice to speak with us and we felt very comfortable and welcomed. He’s a master of his craft and you can taste the love in every bite. You won’t be disappointed!

Such a disappointment. Got their fresh pasta, vodka sauce and Bolognese. At drive thru farmers market. Over priced. Very bland. Only treat myself to one meal out a week with the virus. Wasted this week's treat.

This was an amazing restaurant! I thoroughly enjoyed everything I had! We even enjoyed homemade bread which was incredible! I love Italian but this is by far my favorite restaurant for Italian.
