“ Found by happy accident, 1st time here.At certain points could have been more attentive with service. Food good & authentic, we enjoyed the dinner. *Update.We were here for Christmas Eve dinner. The renovation is wonderful, much roomier. However the large party dining delayed our dinner by 45 minutes. We had soup and then the gap between that and dinner. We understand it's busy, but going forward better planning would help. Service is good. Someone at the front to greet & check in diners would be great as well. ”
“ I have driven past this place for decades and never paid it any attention. From the outside, it is unassuming. My son was recommended to try it by a coworker, so we did. What an amazing place! As soon as you walk in the front door, you'll be surprised! Very nice decor, an amazing menu with delicious food, and large portions for a reasonable price! We've since been back for several family dinners and a couple of birthdays. It's the kind of place that becomes an instant favorite, one where you're thrilled to invite friends along for their first experience and to share this hidden gem! ”
“ We haven't been here in a while but friends have told us to give it another try and I am glad we did. The atmosphere is much improved including a classical guitarist, a waiter named Alex from Italy who was OUTSTANDING and the food was excellent. We're putting this back on our list of favorites! ”
“ Most authentic Italian experience I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining in. The people who work here have serious pride in what they do and the cuisine is proof of that. We got the meatballs in marinara to go and as soon as my wife got it for our anniversary, it was devoured within seconds. Top notch quality. If you’re thinking about another restaurant, think twice. This is the spot. ”
“ Firefighter friend and his wife flew in from Houston over Memorial Day weekend. Our waitress Francesca per usual crushed it with hands down the best hospitality one could ask for when trying to dine out and catching up with fam/friends. We purchased a house out here in Lutz several years ago and this is always our go to spot, never disappoints as typically the last ones to leave. Bring your appetite and a belt with several extra notches to loosen up as mambo Italiano style servings. My family is from Sicily and closest ambiance and dishes ever experienced. Thank you for always making our visits perfect and see you next month. ”
“ 2nd time here, ordered ala carte’ items and it was truly a decent price: A large chicken breast, grilled shrimp and anchovies 19 The restaurant is very clean, service was good, we will be back! ”
“ We had a very nice dinner and the food was mostly great. The Alfredo shrimp pasta was just okay. The other dishes were fresh and very tasty. The service from Derrick was wonderful with suggestions and timely service. We would definitely go again! ”
“ Absolutely the best Italian I’ve had in Florida. The restaurant is amazing, with a great atmosphere. The servers are friendly and so good. Francesca was the best for both our private dinners and for when we had a party of 20 reserved for my birthday. Literally the best Italian you’ll find in Florida. Photos here to help but they don’t do this food Justice. Trust me, go there and enjoy! ”
