Amazing, authentic Italian restaurant! I absolutely will be back. Spent approximately $50 a person with alcohol, appetizer, entrees, and shared desert
This is my favorite Happy Hour spot!! Food is amazing and the prices are beyond reasonable. Beautiful view of the Fountain! But the main reason I come here is for Mason my favorite bartender! He remembers every detail about my favorite drink and food choices. He is absolutely the best!
Great place to eat; service was great, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Italian food. The atmosphere is on the louder side.
Yes do come here! We came for a late lunch and were so pleased we did. We sat at the bar which was very comfortable and quiet. We ordered a bottle of red wine, we weren’t originally taken with it but with food it paired very nicely. I had the seafood risotto and my husband had the spaghetti and meatballs. My meal was incredible (I shared!) his was good but not great as the sauce was runny and chunky. We split a Caesar salad to start which was good but too lightly dressed for our tastes. Since this was our meal for the day we splurged on the bread pudding dessert and it was incredible. Truly most of the food was really very good and I would recommend it for the food alone. The service was very good. We were the only folks at the bar and our server was initially slow to get to us but then became quite attentive and was pleasant. The gentleman who delivered our food was exceptionally kind and engaging. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. Parking can be a challenge in this area as the park is where everyone who wants to walk the loop around the fountain parks. We parked on the street nearby.
We ordered for delivery. It came to us as scheduled. It was our first time ordering. I had spaghetti with meat sauce. I loved it! My husband had the wedge salad with the garlic bread. He ate the whole thing.
