Fantastic place to eat, perfect place to take your date. The mood is perfect, and lights are dimmed to set the mood, with italian classical music playing in the background. The menu is extensive but very detailed. The staff are amazing and help guide you to the perfect meal. They serve complementary fresh bread with a seasoned oil, which is very flavorful. The fresh mozzarella is delicate and delicious. The veal is tender and has amazing flavor that is not too strong. The wilted garlic spinach is light and extremely flavorful, very garlicky. The deserts are perfect. The bartender is the bomb and knows her way around drinks. Excellent job with the Carmel espresso martini. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy dinner with loved ones.
Hands down the best Italian meal I have had in Central Florida!! The food is simply amazing and the portions sizes are more than adequate.

This was our 2nd time here. The first one was great that is why we came again. The place is not fancy at all but the costumer service is wonderful. It’s quite and clean. It should be nice if they decide to renovate to more modern style but just for the quality of food it’s ok. We tried:
1) Mahi-mahi with mushrooms risotto was delicious
2) Veal with Parmesan risotto: yummy
3) Chicken parmigiana with capellini with marinara sauce: good
4) Fagioli pasta soup is sooo good, you must try it
5)As an appetizer last time we had a Brie cheese with a layer of “jam fig” wrapped with pastry and and beaked. It’s served with a different fine cut vegetables… it’s was really good!
This was the ABSOLUTE BEST ITALIAN we have found yet here in Florida! And we LOVE Italian food, we have tried SO many different places. I had the ravioli with creamy vodka sauce..OMG!! And my husband had the chicken marsala, we wanted to go back Sunday and eat again,but they are closed Sunday, 😢 we will definitely go back just to eat here again!
Food was delicious! Service was a bit slow, but friendly. Wine selection was not a good one.
Don’t let the outside appearance fool you, the inside atmosphere is classic and inviting. The service was wonderful and the food was excellent! There is a great selection of wines as well. Overall had a great experience here and would come back for a great Italian meal.
Best Italian food in the area bar none...a must visit for sure. Had the Chicken Picatta and it was amazing! The flavors, amazing and cooked to perfection. Service is handss down superb in every regard...not to mention the cozy atmosphere. Reservations are recommended as this place fills up fast, enjoy!
Dinner a little salty and dessert a little dry, but a plentiful amount of food and good service
Excellent from beginning to end, even with gluten free requirements. A small scale gem with personalized, friendly service, knowledgeable staff and adaptable kitchens.
Had the gluten free pasta shrimp ala vodka among other dishes and the shrimp were large and perfectly tender, and the gluten free pasta (rigatoni) tastes great. They said all sauces are made to order so any sauce can be made gluten free, it’s just the packaged pastas and linguinis that can’t be. And they have four delicious gluten free desserts as well.
All in all you can’t go wrong with what you choose, so go with what your stomach tells you you want that night. You’ll probably be back for more another night.
*Update June 2021: Return visit was equally delicious and wonderful and this time we saved room for dessert.
My boyfriend and I ate here for the first time recently. The food was incredible. The flavor of the sauces on each of our plates was beyond delicious. In addition, the prices very very reasonable. This will definitely be a place we come back to.
