Seafood Risotto was great!

I loved all of my food. Had the special for the evening...so delish! My husband had veal and rhe soup of the day he loved both. Wine was great! Large portions and tasty food...Definitely would go back.

This is definitely some of the best Italian food in Peoria, but the food is not the reason I gave this place five stars. I came in 30 minutes before close after getting off work late and the bartender greeted me for food and drinks. The bartender made my dinner enjoyable and made me feel like I’ve been coming there regularly for years! From a fellow business owner, 10/10 service!

Love! Best Italian in Peoria!! We have been a couple times and it delicious every time, staff is great, atmosphere is so nice and somewhat romantic. However the reason for my review is actually their catering pans.We had a large Christmas party in 2021 and we ordered two pasta pans one was manicotti and one was Alfredo. Our guests couldn’t get enough we went through the pans in 5 minutes!! Everyone has asked about the pasta even weeks after the party.The one and only draw back is the restaurant is pretty small. So it’s probably pretty difficult to get a table at meal time or with a large group if you don’t have a reservation. I think the restaurant being so small adds to the atmosphere and charm.

We arrived about 15 minutes after opening.The food was good but the wait was unacceptable. It took nearly 1 1/2 hours for a table of 4 to get their food. Then my 12 year old son ordered a cheese pizza. The server brings out a large 14 pizza for him...a 12 year old. The server ould have told us there were no small pizzas. We most likely won't ever be back. It definitely wasn't worth the $100+ we spent!

We tried the stuffed mushroom appetizer tonight, and it was the most unique and best tasting version over ever had. The sauasge and cheese combination was so good. For the entree, I have never had more tender chicken parmigiana. It was the texture of veal and absolutely delicious, not to mention it was two big breast pieces.

The food is fantastic! We stop in to enjoy their food whenever we are in town! Driving in from Ohio the food is fabulous! we highly recommend this place to everyone!

We are use to and understand busy on valentines day, but the quality definitely didn’t equal the price. Almost every aspect of our order was wrong including the steak on my pasta that was suppose to be well done was rare. Just the beginning. We are here every year for Valentines Day, not next year. From check in to check out 3 hours with a bad expensive meal, of course our check was wrong. Very sad about our experience.

Food was not hot or warm. Skimpy portions especially when the prices are elevated. Looked as if my food was taken from the scraps of another plate. First impression and last impression. Waitress never refilled our water or even give fresh water.The customers next to us salad was much larger, their pasta dish was filled and not like ours. They kept looking at our food and shaking their head. She didnt offer dessert from the menu. Was rushing us to leave. We left a good tip despite the poor service. There was a waitress who brought fresh bread and it was soft. The other bread was hard. She made the experience a little better. We ate bread and had the food thrown away. I heard so many great things of this place. One more thing out of all the tables, she came and took our Olive Oil and placed it on the other table. Very rude! We spent well over $50. And didnt even get to enjoy our food or eat. The stuffed mushrooms were button and only 6, disappointing. My ethnicity centers around this kind of food. Very disappointing!!!

Enjoyed a fantastic dinner tonight. Also had a hand crafted Mojito and it was amazing! The staff go above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience and the food was so very good!
