    Carbonara pizza  (bottom left) and chicken  parmesan pizza.
    John J.

    The homemade, handmade pasta is the star, but the Roman-style pizza is quite good as well. Our server was new, but he was very accommodating with our questions about the menu. It's a smaller place with a casual, modern feel that has full-service on Thursdays through Saturday and take out Monday through Wednesday, but closed on Sunday. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant when in Blacksburg.

    Pomodoro, chicken parm, and carbonara pizza slices
    Noah L.

    We went on Thursday night where all pizza slices and beer/wine is $3 each. This was my first time there, and the food was absolutely amazing. I got the chicken parm, pomodoro, and carbonara pizza pieces and was not disappointed, especially with the carbonara. The server was very nice but they seemed a little short-staffed given the volume of customers. I can't wait to go back and try out their pasta next time!

    OMG!!!! The food is amazing. When I say amazing, I mean party-in-your-mouth amazing. The flavors…read morereally pop. The quality of the ingredients is spectacular. The ambiance/decor was very classy. It's the water-in-your-wine-glass type of restaurant. Yet it didn't feel pretentious. The waitress was an absolute sweetheart. I don't give many 5s, but this place could even get a 6 from me based on the food alone. I had a bite from the plates of every member of my party (4 entrees all together), and everything was scrumptious! The prices were on the higher side, mostly $20+ entrees, but I say money well spent! The portions are not over-sized like many restaurants, but the quality of the food really trumps that. The bittersweet aspect is that they change their menu very often so I don't know if I'll ever get to go back for that Truffle mushroom pasta dish I ordered (about which I dream quite often). However, they seem to be unable to go wrong on the food.

    From start to finish-the lunch buffet was incredibly special on December 19th, 2025. Melina was…read morespectacular at adjusting our reservation-we ended up with a party of 9 celebrating 2 birthdays. The food was yummy and varied and fresh. But the service was the star of the show. Each server was on point and attentive. A great value-beautiful quiet dining area. You must try the lunch buffet. A good value at $20 including your drink.

Not overly busy on a Sunday evening, so service was attentive. Prices were reasonable. Reservations are available but were not needed on the night of our visit. Recommended. Be advised that Blacksburg has an exorbitant sales tax rate of over 11% on restaurant food and beverages. really pushes the bill up no matter where you dine.

The restaurant is in a strip mall area near VT campus, with an outdoor/parking lot patio and two wings of seating on either side of the entrance. The graduation menu was a limited, but good selection of fixed price entrees, apps, salads and desserts. They also had cocktails and a nice selection of wine. The restaurant also doubles as a wine shop. A couple of us had beef cannelloni and one had a sausage and pasta dish, along with a calamari starter and Caesar salads. Calamari was hot fresh and very tender, with a good dipping sauce. Salads were crisp and tangy, with the addition of delicious bread. The baked Cannelloni was superb with a ton of flavor and served piping hot. Tasted like some real love went into it; same with the pasta/sausage dish. Large portions and prices were reasonable were quite reasonable. Finished with some light and airy chocolate mousse. Overall, outstanding service and food, especially when considering the limited options for finer dining in Blacksburg. Only drawback IMO is the quality of the food and service is miles above the ambiance and decor. Could still be rustic, but with some interior color and server dress coordination, would make for a classier dining experience.

I think the issue is there are so many…read moreunique and amazing restaurants within walking distance in downtown Roanoke that my expectations are HIGH. The dining area is an interesting mix out copper table tops, wood chairs, and exposed brick walls. Character. I had a pineapple upside down cake cocktail. It was yummy But it was filled with tiny ice slithers that made it difficult to drink without choking on ice until the slithers melted. I always appreciate a good Luxor . The food was fine... I was just hoping to be awed. I had the grilled salmon was looking, for medium but it was definitely well done. It was will seasoned and I was hungry, so none went to waste, lol. I was just hoping for something special. The veggie side was small and basic but well seasoned and the potatoes were also well seasoned but missing the Chicago butter sauce advertised. Instead it had a tiny smear of what I'm assuming was cocktail sauce. I tried the cheesecake bread pudding which was their bread pudding of the day. Overall it was good. I wouldn't have minded more cream cheese and was kind of disappointed the strawberries came out with the leaves still attached. At this price point, I don't want to have to remove things on my own. My server was great, she was training someone new but still managed to be perfectly attentive without being over bearing. With Sidecar and Stock so close by, it takes a peak performance to get me to repeat a restaurant stop when I'm in town for work. This was a solid 4 today but there are 5 star worthy places that have my attention.
