Really a great dining experience. The staff was super attentive without being intrusive. Menu isn’t huge so easy to make a choice. Had the special rib-eye with risotto, wasn’t super delighted with the meal. Will definitely go back and try other items on the menu.

Very disappointed with the meal my family and I had here. I would be very surprised if the owner or any of the chefs were actually Italian. The cheese board was minuscule, a joke. And they served it without any bread, for 17 bucks. The Calamari was average at best. The Chicken Piccata had some sort of cheese or Hollandaise sauce in it that made it taste strange. The Marsala was way too sweet and used reconstituted mushrooms. All this while spending 180 for 4 people. Ridiculous. One of the worst experiences I’ve had at an Italian restaurant in a long while.

So, I had a dinner date with a really good friend of mine. We went and the first thing they did was open the door for us. Then we chose our table. Our server explained the specials and then we ordered. We got this creamy corn soup which was really good. Then I also put in for the charcuterie board. The cheese and prosciutto were displayed perfect. The items provided were so good. We also had fresh bread with bruschetta. It was good as well. Our main items came in and I had risotto with asparagus and cheese with a type of steak. It was awesome! The steak was so tender and well seasoned. The risotto perfectly cooked and so creamy. My friend had a fish fried in this lemon butter sauce and a vegetable medley. It was fresh and tangy but really good. Then we had the tiramisu. Not that sweet which we really appreciated and we enjoyed the crispys on top. The caffe late we had actually paired really well with the tiramisu. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable. The paintings on the wall were beautiful. The establishment was really clean as well. The employees were so nice and professional. I can’t wait to go back. I would recommend a reservation just in case because the time we went it wasn’t that busy but then it picked up. If you like Italian food then I highly recommend this place.

Food was the worst I have had in years! Sauce was literally comparable to Chef Boyardee. I’m so confused on how they get any good reviews when all 6 meals were terrible. There was a language barrier so there was errors from drinks, appetizers and meals. Chicken Marsala sauce taste like a Chinese brown sauce. The portion for a meal of risotto with porcini was $36. Point is we got a few jar porcini mushrooms and a side of risotto for $36??? It was not a meal to fill a child and nothing Italian about it. Calamari was frozen and bland and I had a hard time to get even salt that by the time he brought it the calamari was cold. Just absolutely horrible food. The waiters were nice but nobody spoke English or very little that couldn’t get our orders correct. We couldn’t believe that people were walking in to come in to eat… if you want good Italian try Ana Capri on 138 st and US1. Owner Giuseppe very friendly and fantastic food.

Arrived for an early lunch with family after seeing such great reviews, unfortunately my experience was different. Service was subpar, despite being the first table there for the night, we were neglected and served after 3 tables that came after us. They prioritize whom I assume are regular customers. Food was good but portions were small, very expensive, and our entrees took over an hour to arrive.

We were a party of 3 and arrived around 7:30PM on a Saturday night without having a reservation; nevertheless, the maître managed to accomodate us in a very short time.

Always a spectacular meal. The fish in lobster sauce and the short rib risotto are unlike anything you’ll ever have. The service is 5 star and ambiance relaxed yet upscale. If you don’t have a reservation, you will have a wait. Mauricio, the owner and his staff do a wonderful job.
