My wife and I had dinner here after an event nearby. I booked the reservation last minute after reading other reviews. Our meal was absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail was apparent throughout the meal. The Chicken Parmigiana was crispy and delicious. The Crispy Polenta was appetizer a great way to start off our meal.

The service is really great. I arrived little bit early before my reservation time. I was told about specials and I asked specifically if the Ravioli is made fresh and she said yes we make all our pasta fresh. When the food areived, the portion was bit questionable. However the food quality was surely below par my expectations.

Great little place with good food and nice atmosphere. It’s small so be prepared to wait and their parking lot is small so get there early if you want to park in front of the building. Waitstaff was knowledgeable and attentive and it’s all and all a cite little gem that I will be coming back to.

Went here for dinner during Austin Restaurant Week 2022. Absolutely a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is cozy and contemporary, staff were very attentive. Crispy polenta was fabulous. Fettuccine with Portabella and Cremini mushrooms was delicious.. fettuccine perfectly cooked, mushrooms were nice and earthy, and oh the sauce 🙂 I will definitely be back. Nice a selection of wines, too.

Reliably excellent Italian cuisine with friendly service and a classic ambience. Our favorites include the Bolognese and the fried polenta. Would love it if they made the carbonara a regular menu item, but it’s also a great treat when they have it.

I truly enjoyed my dinner. I don’t remember the last time I’ve finished my whole plate of food. My pasta was super good and the fries were well seasoned. My friend’s Mac& cheese balls were good as well. And the tiramisu was exactly what I needed to end my wonderful dinner.
