A hidden gem, great food and atmosphere. Very friendly, competent staff.

The food here was excellent! Definitely a hidden treasure for the best in authentic tasting food from the main course to dessert quality. We give this place 5 stars! Service was great!

To start, I'm not personally a fan of going out to eat at Italian restaurants. My experiences usually leave me feeling as if I just threw my money away for a watered down version of what people call "Italian "My husband and I have seen this restaurant multiple times and decided on a whim to head over for dinner last Sunday. We were the first guests there. A warm older lady came out from the kitchen (assuming it was one of the owners) and offered us to sit where we like. Our server came over immediately after taking a very large phone order. She was extremely nice and attentive to our needs . Soft music played overhead , sounded like something from Sinatra or the rat pack .good old classic music ?. Combined with their chandeliers, created a very nice ambience. Slowly customers started to show up and it was clear they were regulars , everyone was greeted by name and a warm smile by server's and quickly made comfortable. Everyone here is so professional and throw their best effort into the work . Our food came out soon. We were served nice warm bread to go with our GIGANTIC plate of spaghetti with meatballs and my husband's equally large plate of lasagna served with grilled zucchini . The meat sauce is to die for! Easily the most full flavored and delicious sauce I have ever had. The meatballs were flavored lightly but were equally as delicious. His lasagna was a flavor I never tried before but was amazing !! A bit pricier , but well worth it. We will definitely be coming here more for special occasions . We left filled , content and relaxed ?

This is our new favorite Italian restaurant!We were looking for a new place to try and found it on trip advisor and so glad we did.The food and service were amazing! (We know food) Well worth the 40 minute drive to this place.

Place was nice and great food I had calamari appetizer meal was chicken Marsala with peanut butter squash soup very good

They must be understaffed. There was no one there to seat me. No worries though, the customer coughing everywhere guaranteed I would be going elsewhere.

Always a must while visiting family in Madera. Always good food. Comfortable upscale decor. They always treat you like family.
