They were able to accommodate my family of 10 with family visiting with no issues. I ordered the shrimp scampi which was forgotten until I left to take one of my kids to the bathroom. My family mentioned that staff forgotten about my dish. But brought it out instantly when mentioned. My family was nearly finished. I did enjoy all the appetizers, bruschetta and fried calamari. Staff ensure our drinks were topped off.Here's the downer. Within 1 hour of leaving the restaurant, I started feeling weird with chills. I got home 1.5 hours later and I ended up sleeping the night on benadryl and Tylenol with lots of water as I had the chills, muscle aches, vomiting, and diarrhea. 15 hours later of sleeping, headache for days and nausea with vomiting.Over all, I love the restaurant when it's a smaller party, can ensure my food and drinks appropriately. But with a large party, I was playing the risk game. And I ended paying for it.$275 for 10 people. Reasonable

I had what was basically spaghetti and meatballs and the dish was really watery either thin sauce or very wet noodles put in the shallow bowl it was served in. The server was asked to give us another minute to decide what we wanted and he didn't come back for ten minutes and only 3 other tables were in the entire restaurant. This wasn't my first time here but will be the last.

During the pandemic, the restaurant was offering lunch orders to go. I was ordering from here at least once a week. I've tried almost everything. I absolutely LOVE the ravioli! All of the sauces are delicious, but I find that the gorgonzola sauce is the most savory. It's my favorite and I crave it. My fiancé took me out last night and I tried the shrimp ravioli special. I felt like Bill Murray in What About Bob. It was SO good! My fiancé tried the linguine polpette. We loved the dishes so much, we ordered more to-go so we can enjoy the food again today. They packed our to-go order with care and a bag full of fresh garlic bread.

Outstanding in every way, food, ambiance and service.

Went about a couple of weeks after opening....drab decor. No ambiance...Spaghetti with guanchale was mediocre. My partners porchetta was not porchetta....just a chunk of pork belly. Will not go back.

Went here for a day before Valentine's dinner. Very cute location in am old home. Service is professional and extremely quick. All the food is amazing and made fresh, including the pasta. Have many vegetarian options. Highly recommend!

The tri tip here is the BEST my husband and I have EVER had! The cannelloni di pollo is ALWAYS delicious! The cheesecake is Italian style and soooo gooood! We have come here from Sacramento for the past 5 years! Love this place! BEST HOLE IN THE WALL IN GRASS VALLEY!!!

Very happy with our meal here in a cute little Victorian house conveniently located across from our hotel (which was also wonderful -- the Gold Miner's Inn)

had the sauté shrimp with risotto...to die for...outstanding dessert was wonderful...

So much to love about this restaurant:1. Located inside a remodeled Victorian home, romantic and warm2. Great service: Family owned and attention to the customers3. Delicious homemade pasta and delightful wine selection. I'm a huge fan of the lobster and prawn linguine. Large servings.
