My family dined there once again. Everybody seemed to enjoy their meal. Servicecwas excellent although the table I reserved (twice) was not set up for us, so we waited around. I do wish they used tablecloths. For 5 people and only two alcoholic bevvies , the bill came to $245. Unfortunately the table I picked was in front of the dumpsters so I could smell garbage thru dinner. But the service was great. Very nice people.

We had dinner here and loved everything about it. Pasta is homemade and tastes very fresh. Entree sizes are very generous. I suggest making reservations, as it fills up.

The portions are plenty, and the flavor of any dish is never disappointing. I’ve tried many different specials. It’s cozy ☺️ and I love my homemade carrot cupcakes at the end of my meal!

My family dined last night at your restaurant. Once again it was delicious. I always have the fettuccine….my brother in law always has the veal and my sister has the chicken. Everything was so very good! Also our server was outstanding! I always say this is my favorite restaurant in the desert!

Tucked away in a strip center next to a new Cowboy bar lies a pleasant Italian culinary oasis. This little gem provides deliciousness with great pasta, sauces, and a large menu to choose your favorites. We dined on a veal special and I had the fusilli with sausage. Our guests enjoyed the same veal special and a shrimp pasta dish with truffles. They raved about their dishes too. We can’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu. I think we just found our new go to spot. The service was outstanding too.

Lovely wait staff. Food came quickly. Pasta was cooked properly. Otherwise, this was the worst Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Bolognese was grey and looked like it had been through a food processor – texture was…grainy? All four people in our party agreed it was not a good meal. I chose this place based on positive reviews and so I post here hoping I can spare someone else the same experience.

I went here with my grandma last week! I had the gnocchi with pesto and it was quite delicious. She had the chicken picata. The ambiance is also very minimal and the wait staff is accommodating and hospitable. It’s also located right near the el paseo shopping district!

The food quality is low, like going to a mall food court. I looked past it and was distracted from all the noise in the bar area from employees.

I’m Italian and the food here is very good. Every time I come to town and we are craving Italian this is where we go. Highly recommend!
