Can’t beat this lil hidden gem! The food was absolutely tasty. The sauces were perfectly made not overpowering like chain restaurants. Staff was sweet and kind enough to let us stay a little longer and order a couple dishes to go!

Came in tonight to make a to go order. I pretty much knew what I wanted immediately and asked the server if they had it. She seemed busy so I said ok I'll look at the menu. I waited a while at the entrance and another server asked if I was helped yet. I said no. She went to grab the other server and shortly after I heard that they don't have time for my order. It's fine, you're busy. Sorry to say I won't be able to return. I don't have time for you either. I went to Anthony's on 112th and Colorado instead.-Purple

Wonderful food and wonderful service!! We ordered to go and the young man who checked us out was so nice! The food is AMAZING as well!!

We've lived 5 minutes away from this quaint little restaurant and have never visited. Food was good as was the service. Only complaint was the ravioli was a little cold. Tiramisu was delicious!

No fuss and unpretentious. This is old-school, homemade, stick-to-your-ribs Italian food, and we loved it. The restaurant is quaint and the servers are very friendly. Food was all wonderful and portions very large. Highly recommend the homemade spaghetti and the tiramisu.

I am giving three stars because the food was delicious, but service was a little rusty. When we got In we had a slight wait. You could tell they were busy, so we waited. We got our food, and it was delicious! Good portion sizes too! Unfortunately it took a good 30 minutes to get my check and card ran for payment. I know short staffing happens. However, I feel my card could have been collected and Ran while putting in another tables order. Mind you several tables were seated and orders were taken while I was left waiting to make a Payment. I simply would’ve liked to have been acknowledged. When every other table is being served and/or helped, and I’m still waiting, left a sour taste in my mouth.

Great home-cooked Italian food very great atmosphere love it here will be back again

I would REALLY recommend we love this restaurant and the owner is SUPER nice so are all the workers. And the food is SUPER good.

I'm going back for sure! The Everything, was delicious ?! The bread, the salad, the soup, ravioli, fresh made spaghetti noodles, lasagna, meat balls, sausages.... and the list goes on. Super friendly service, Did I mention "I will be back"? Mmmmmm, can't wait to give an update next time.

I absolutely love this little hole in the wall family run restaurant! Ive been coming here for years and they have FANTASTIC Italian food. Everything is homemade and the tiramisu is the best Ive ever had.
