Excellent food! The octopus appetizer was amazing and the Carbonara entree was best I’ve had in the States.

As usual, spectacular food. The last time I had food this good before eating here was at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill in NYC. Service is wonderful. We will visit here many more times.

Pasta bolognese is excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant. I shall return!

Extremely disappointed. Very slow service. We had to remind the server about our bottle of wine and then remind her about our salads. The entrees arrived an hour and a half after being seated. The chicken parm was okay but the pork entree was inedible- cold and ver fatty. Usually the owners/managers are very present, but not this night. Really bad which is surprising for this restaurant. Maybe new staff or management?

Don’t let the exterior fool you. This place is authentic Italian. Great food and flavors, beer and wine only. Service was a bit slow, but it was lots of new staff. Look forward to returning and hoping the service picks up. Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. Will definitely be back.

The food in this part of Florida is the worst food I’ve had in my whole life and I’ve been to many cities and countries around the world. I can see why this place has high ratings because the people coming here have standards that are very low. We ordered the artichoke spinach dip. It looked like the Tostitos brand with a layer of thick cheese on top that was Hardly melted served with stale bread. We also got a caprese salad which was the best thing we ordered. My mom got the bolognese and I got the salmon. They were both awful. Neither of us finished our plates and practically ran out of the restaurant. My step father got the veal and he said he liked it - but for context he only likes bland food, I did not try it. The bill was $250. If you are from an area of the world where there is actually good food, just save your money and buy quality ingredients and cook at home. If you aren’t the picky type, this may be your place!

Table of four, and we all agreed the food delicious. The portions were adequate, including the appetizers. The only complaints were air conditioning in the building vibrating, as it cycles on, and off. The restaurant would be better suited in another location, maybe downtown, or on the water. It lacked the abeyance you would expect for the prices, and quality of the delicious food. It deserves five stars because, well, I’ve eaten at hundreds of Italian restaurants across the country, and the food makes it worth it. Nice job chef!

Food is always good and reasonably priced. Our server is friendly and polite.

Not special. Overpriced. Better food and atmosphere to be had elsewhere. We expected more but were disappointed.
