    Great food and great service! Our family of 6 came on a Wed night around 6PM and didn't have a reservation....but fortunately for us a large group didn't show up and the hostess went out of her way try to accommodate us! Apparently, they run half off wine bottles on Wed night....so the place was pretty busy. Our group opted in on that deal :) They also had a great local beer option as well (which is my preference). Our group ordered Sicilian Ravioli, Chicken Alfredo (2), Sausage & Pepper Penne and Caprese Chicken Farfelle (2) - and we hit 6 for 6 with everyone really enjoying their entrees. Ingredients were super fresh and the sauces were really tasty. Service from server 404 (we forgot her name and it wasn't on the receipt) was super friendly and prompt! We'd love to go back again.

    Artichoke dip

    Love the ambiance and the pasta was delicious and the waitress was amazing! We got the artichoke dip and we got the fortuine pasta!

    I was hungry. forgot to get a picture before hand. This was the Mediterranean stuffed chicken. Which was very tasty.

    Food was very good. We had the stuffed walleye and the mediterranean stuffed chicken breast. Service was spot on. Everything in a timely fashion. Restaurant was clean decor was what you would expect for Italian restaurant. The reason I gave a four versus a five is from both of our meals. The portions were small. chicken breast with pasta first I thought I didn't get any pasta. Then I realized the chicken breast was sitting on it. I just couldn't see it. Lots of empty plate space on both the walleye and the chicken. That said, I WILL GO BACK and I do recommend the place. Another observation, I did see other patrons meals ( different than the chicken or walleye) that look like the portions were larger. One last mention, The entrance is being upgrade for handicap entry until they get that finished entry with a walker or wheelchair is tricky. ( plants on sidewalk didn't help) Parking is at the other end of the parking lot.

    Shrimp scampi 1/2 portion

    What a great find! I was recommended to try this out by a local at one of retail stores in Duluth. I was able to get a seat at the bar as the place was very busy with big parties for a Saturday night. I asked the bartender what was their most popular dish and said the shrimp scampi. It didn't disappoint. With asparagus , green and red peppers and 2 huge pieces of shrimp as I order the 1/2 portion instead of the full. They did offer house bread but I declined. Great and friendly staff and plenty of parking. Good spot for Italian.

    A quick change of plans landed us here for breakfast. This place is beautifully decorated. The staff are amazing. I ordered the Denver Florentine sandwich with breakfast potatoes. The peppers made the sandwich. Nice hearty size sandwich. Now I'm not a big potato guy but these were delicious! Cooked to perfection and the seasoning was amazing! My wife ordered the breakfast bruschetta. Amazing flavors and that warm honey mascarpone and jam are so delicious! One of the people eating with us ordered the French toast Italian style. It looked and smelled amazing, I will be getting this next time! I am not big on Italian food guy but this place makes me want to comeback and try their lunch and dinner items. From cleanliness to service to food quality this is a must try place!

I loved the prosciutto topped with Gorgonzola and fig - it's the best combination. Ian was our server he was awesome, thankfully we were able to get a table today, the last time we went on a whim they were slammed so I highly recommend you make reservations. Our reservation was at 4:30 around 5 they dimmed the lights - setting the vibes, I love that. Great experience!

    I saw this place while visiting for Grandma's Marathon. I vaguely remember seeing recommendations…read morefor it on the race social page so figured I would give it a try for my carb loading :) Service: the city is busy on marathon weekend so I was pleasantly surprised that I was seated right away. It was in the mid afternoon so perhaps time was on my side. My server was very sweet and timely with refills etc. Ambiance: this is a good family place. Not fancy but good for a casual night out. There is a bar area separated by a door from the main restaurant. Food: the food was good. I had a pizza and my server recommended trying 2 different kinds (after some indecision on my part). For no extra charge they did each half differently which was really nice. I tried the Athena (Greek style) and Classic (like a supreme). Both were very tasty.

My beer came out quickly and I was happy about that. The real let down was the carry out pizza. I specifically walked back late in the evening to get some and was disappointed with the cheese one. There wasn't any outstanding toppings on my pizza(even with the peperoni it seems). I couldn't finish it unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, this seems like a great location to hang out and eat regardless. Service was great, the waitresses checked on me often. Overall, could have been better.

    We ordered takeout for dinner and walked across the street from our hotel to grab the food. It was…read moreready fast during one of the peak dining times on a Saturday evening. The food was piping hot even after walking across the street, everything looked handcrafted and the quality was top notch. I got the Limone pizza with added prosciutto and a side of homemade Caesar dressing - 10/10 would get again. My partner got a build your own pizza and it was really tasty but the only bummer was the amount of sausage as a $2 topping for a 9inch - it looked like a pinch of sausage on top of a 2 topping pizza. Still tasted great I just think he'd choose something other than sausage next time. The cheese bread was good, crispy and seasoned well, a nice size for sharing with a few people. Their Rustica salad was really tasty with the vinaigrette and definitely big enough for sharing, and the bread bits on the side were a nice change up from your average crouton. I loved the homemade Caesar dressing for dipping my Limone pizza and cheese bread - definitely more of a strong aromatic flavor than your typical bottled Caesar but it tasted homemade and fresh and it was fun to try something different than Ranch. They have a section outside for patio dining on the nicer days, great location right off the water, nice spot to try for an upscale pizza night whether you dine in or take out.

It's basically all self service, they call your order number and you go to collect it along with plates, utensils, and napkins. It was a busy place with lots of families and young kids but not too loud. The Caesar salad was okay - definitely needed a bit more salt and pepper but it was a very generous portion. We LOVED the Tomasso (prosciutto, goat cheese, arugula, and crushed pepper) and the employee special was also quite good. The crust isn't super thin but it is structurally sound which is nice. 3 pizzas + salad was the perfect split among 4 adults. Keep your receipt for the bathroom code if you need it! Also has a 3% credit card fee.
