My husband had the special with beef tips and linguine. I chose the fettuccine carbonara. What I liked most is that they had a normal and a small portion. Trust me the small portion was plenty. I just had to try one of those desserts. The coconut cake with pineapple sauce was on point and I took a few biscotti's that Roberta the owner suggested would go perfect with my coffee in the morning, They have a full bar and a nice wine list.

We've always liked this restaurant, which is probably why tonight's experience was so…read moredisappointing. Service was a little slow, but they clearly got hit with a rush around 7. Being busy wasn't really the issue. How everything was handled was. My wife ordered a Caesar salad that we've had here before and enjoyed, but tonight it just wasn't good. We let our server know and asked if we could replace it with a small/kids-sized Alfredo instead. She wasn't particularly apologetic, but said she would take care of it. I actually had to hand her the salad to get it cleared from the table. By the time a manager came over, everyone else, including the kids, had completely finished eating. She apologized for the delay and explained that a large delivery order had come in, but then mentioned that we had "changed our order" afterward, but it would be out soon. Maybe she didn't mean it that way, but it landed like the delay was partly on us for sending back. We've both worked in restaurants, so we understand getting slammed. We understand large orders. We understand mistakes. What matters is communication and how you recover when something goes wrong. When our server brought the check, she told us she had "done what she could," which apparently meant removing the salad from the bill. Fair enough. Except after I signed, I realized we had also been charged for four glasses of wine when we only had three. At that point, we were done and just wanted to leave. None of these things individually would have prompted a bad review. It was the accumulation of them, along with the lack of ownership and the strange feeling that we were somehow inconveniencing the restaurant by pointing out a problem. This place is usually really good, and I genuinely hope this was just an off night. But it was easily the worst experience we've had here, and unfortunately it's one we'll remember before deciding to come back.

I finally visited this upscale Italian restaurant near Sterling Ridge after having it on my radar…read morefor a couple of years. I did not need reservations since it was a weeknight and not that busy. Half of the other tables consisted of families and the other half consisted of groups of 4-8 persons. The interior is highly decorated and reminds me of something you might see in Las Vegas. On my visit, I tried the Beet Salad, Seafood Fettuccine, and Fried Eggplant dishes. The portions are large here, which makes this restaurant such a great bargain. Beet salad - filling with typical ingredients. This is tastier than it sounds Seafood fettuccine - this dish uses squid ink fettuccine and has plenty of seafood in it. I liked it Fried Eggplant - this dish comes with 2 eggplant slices, and a side of spaghetti between the slices. It was the smaller of the two main dishes, but still tasty if you're an eggplant fan. I skipped dessert since I was full from the bread which is brought to the table at the beginning of the meal. Service was outstanding as you could expect. Ambiance is pretty good since there was the added bonus of live piano music playing pretty much the entire time with dimly lit lights.

I've seen more highly styled and decorated places but it's still a great Italian vibe. These kind of places are all about the food and they didn't disappoint! You can tell everything is made super fresh right in the kitchen. Regular dishes like Cesar salad and spaghetti are elevated. So tasty! They had a smaller holiday menu. But everything sounded great. Prices are appropriate for the quality and size. Tuesday are 50% off so that would be a day to come really dig into their menu! Lots of street parking. Not a huge place but def it only enough seating. They take reservations but you should be ok to walk in on most regular nights. The staff was friendly and helpful with anything we needed.

We got artichoke spinach dip, the tortellini with spicy Italian sausage added, the other pasta with sun-dried tomato and mushroom, and some pizzas for the kids. Everybody loved their food and the service was outstanding. The one thing that I feel like really brings the place down is the free bread. Not that they have it, because everybody likes that. But they appear to be Rhodes rolls served in a puddle of olive oil. I'm always excited for Italian bread and Thai was a disappointment, especially after how good the rest of the food was. I would also like to see mild Italian sausage as an option. The spicy was good but it was a sensitive stomach day for me and it was irritated by the spicy. I realize I could have not gotten sausage at all but I'd love a mild Italian option. The artichoke spinach dip was delicious and was served with the perfect amount of crusty bread. Even the little kids asked for more. The pastas were perfectly sauced and flavored. I didn't find them to be skimpy on sauce or toppings. A very nice balance of flavor. The shaved Asiago (or Parmesan?) was a lovely touch too. I love real cheese! I didn't personally try the pizza because I was too full from the pasta, but my husband and the kids loved it and it appeared perfectly cooked and house made.

I can definitely see myself returning to share a pie and a drink with my partner.
