I like that there is a tribute to the Air Force base, so if you like to understand the history and or economy of the town, go check out the murals then go grab lunch, coffee or a beer to support one of the local business nearby! There are two other murals located next to where this picture is taken, the three murals represent Historic Fort Concho, the San Angelo Army Field, and Goodfellow Air Force Base. These are only a few of the murals located in San Angelo, you can take a tour guided by your cell phone to see all of them!

They had a cell phone tour set up that you can call Free at (325) 201-9037. The kids thought it was a treasure hunt and I thought it was a good family bonding and give them knowledge about the history/culture. It's fun on the cheap for the whole family and I recommend it.

The location is maybe not the best, but the dining experience, with James as my waiter? It was…read moreawesome! The dish I had was superbly cooked, I enjoyed their "carciofi"! And it was delicious, from the noodles, to the chicken, to the sauce, even the artichokes... They were awesome! The only thing I might change would be the bread. But bread is an easy thing to substitute. Along with my meal, I had a glass of red wine, and for dessert I experienced their tiramisu. With James, the service was awesome! He was attentive, checked on me regularly, but didn't rush me. And, he had great advice on the foods to try and check out! The lobby where I was seated was almost empty when I arrived, as I came early... Around 6:30 PM. The large table was just leaving, leaving me to the dining area by myself. When I asked about it, James was kind enough to explain to me that many of the people were in the other two rooms where they had private parties going on. James was always there to make sure my needs were taken care of. He advised me on the best tasting wine, the various meals that were very popular, and made sure that I had everything I needed. The music atmosphere was not Italian, but rather something of the 60s, making me think I had gone back in time. Likewise, the prices were preferably affordable, priced much like in the 60s! In other words, I didn't pay an arm and a leg for my meal. It was well priced! AND the food was well worth it! I will dine here again! P. S. ... and I will insist on my waiter being "James"! After querying him I found he walked to the restaurant that day ... you could never tell it by his dress, and his kind demeanor, but I'm guessing that he's starting life over again. When I asked for his phone number to send him the link for this review, he said he didn't have a phone. So when you dine here, make sure that you ask for James to be your waiter, and tip him well! He works hard to make sure that you have a splendid visit, and you're ever need is taken care of. People like this need to be lifted up, and rewarded for their excellent service!

With no dinner reservation, the staff and owner were all friendly, attentive and helpful with making dinner choices. They really were on their A-game!

The restaurant was clean and inviting with plenty of seating and just a nice happy atmosphere.

About the West Texas Bridal Showcase Expo This is the best day to meet face to face with West Texas' top wedding vendors. See in person all they have to offer, including samples of their designs, photos, displays and new ideas to make your wedding special, various styles of photography, and as we say, "everything from the garter to the getaway" will be under one roof during the one day show. Why Should You Attend? Brides, grooms, quinceneras, and their families can save time, gas, energy, confusion and money by attending the West Texas Bridal Showcase. Shopping for all your wedding needs at this show eliminates the dreaded phone tag, excess effort in trying to get an appointment with a wedding vendor and complicated voice mails. Even email messages are time consuming and delay the immediate response a bride wants and needs. Brides for over 18 years have found that attending this bridal event skips all those wasted steps because they will be meeting the key personnel of each participating company on the show floor. How Can You Save Money? Each participating vendor will be offering prices during the show. Bridal couples will benefit from the wealth of competition at this West Texas event. This in turn creates the best values for the services and products that are offered. Couples are encouraged to comparison shop and come prepared with "budget zones" for each category of products or services they would like to incorporate into their wedding plans. Some of the vendors will offer special "show prices" or discounts for immediate bookings.

Quick service, kind service, fast ordering and short time for food to hit the table. Even got to talk to the owner of 21 years Chef Nino. What a great guy! What amazing food! The Chicken Cacciatore is fantastic. One of my all time favorite Italian dishes and they nail it. The bread bits and house made marinara are spot on as well. My wife loves her Joe's salad and raved about the house dressing. My son crushed what he could of the lasagna and ate the rest later on that night. I can't wait to come back for a lunch special now. Prices are great for the portions as well.

Close to Del Rio. But best of luck. Watch your wallet and watch your sanity. It does get hot out here. Don't ever forget to fill up on gas before leaving Or coming back to town. (And if you do call the tow truck company.) You might say it was better when I got here as there were a lot of beautiful kittens everywhere. The next time I came back they were all gone except a few. It could be worth coming out here. I'm giving it a three star for the chamber of commerce library Parker Lumber and more. Likely a four star town if pot holes were filled. If you're here then maybe you are a giant. Happy Halloween, (2023)

Boss got a ticket few days later. Oh well I just don't break the law and follow their speed limits right? Well driving down the main section of Road, 30 miles per hour is pretty much a very low speed limit considering there is nothing in this town that would impede a traffic or any safety-wise but oh well it is what it is. You will not find a Walmart here, nor a movie theater but you will find a handful of restaurants, about 10 of them in fact. This town is like one tornado away from Total abandonment probably.

Cold iceberg lettuce, plenty of dressing (no dinky cups needed) with great little croutons. Made in house? It was that delicious, and grated cheese on top (either Gouda or Mozzarella, but definitely mild and delicious. I'm hungry all over again. I ordered a combo with Canneloni, Ziti and Manicotti, cheesy and delicious as all their food. The best thing was the rolls (complimentary) which were better than ever. Soft and yeasty, buttered and beautifully dusty with Parmesan and garlic. I'm now officially starving! I'm sure we got tiramisu. It's terrific. I've never had a bad meal there, but this was exceptional. These folks are wonderful--and we've seen their kids grow up here. Practically the most wonderful thing of all was the absolutely professional, polished, and polite voice taking our phone order...the little girl who grew up into a polished and terrific young woman. Bravo!

The whole restaurant looks tacky and run down, but that's not the worst part. I got in there and…read morethe nicest waitress, Jessica, was helping me check out my to-go order. I had ordered extra shrimp with my Josie's special, and the owner, Pati, pops her head around the corner and instructs Jessica to charge me 4 whole dollars for 4 extra pieces of shrimp. Are you kidding me? Not only did they over charge me, Pati was incredibly rude to her waitress. I have worked in food service before and you can tell a restaurant is bad by how they treat their waitresses. So after all that, I took my food home and upon opening it- they did in fact give me more shrimp, but used less chicken and beef. I was angry. I mean they overcharged me for 4 measly pieces of shrimp to cut corners and use less meat. I wouldn't recommend going here. They are ridiculous.
