Wowser! The food is amazing. The size of the calzone is hard to put into words! HUGE! I chose the cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce instead of marinara. Pure deliciousness! I live over 2 hours away, but will make it a priority to stop again when I am in the area!

Very nice dinner. I had spaghetti and added meatballs and the pasta was cooked just right and the sauce was great. It’s really amazing that nice cheese and herb breadsticks with marinara are included. Prices were excellent for the quality of the meal! I would definitely eat here again.

My first time here. It’s weird because it’s a former Mexican Restaurant and they still have up the Spanish decor and still playing Spanish music. The food though was fantastic! The Supreme Calzone was huge and tasted amazing! I highly recommend this place.

My fiancé and I decided to try this restaurant out tonight, and it certainly did not disappoint! The service was quick, food came out fresh and hot, and it left us asking “Olive Garden who?” Recommend for anyone that wants some delicious Italian cuisine in Madison.

Very disappointing experience. Italian food is one of my favorite cuisines. Unfortunately, other than the friendliness of the staff, it was one of the worst dining experiences that I’ve had. The food took nearly an hour to get to our table. It really was nothing more than pastas covered with lots of sauce. The sauces were very bland and didn’t have much flavor to them. I literally got up to get tableware, refills, and to go boxes. Other patrons were complaining about the lack of service and long waits for food. I’m really unsure how there are 5 star ratings as it did not appear to even have that type of potential. I would definitely recommend other restaurants in the area over this one.

We were looking for real Italian tasting food, and we found it. Many selections on the menu. Portions are large. Bread is fantastic. Service is great. We will go back again. Use your GPS to find it though.

I wish I would have taken pictures of our meals but we devoured them before I thought about it. The food was delicious. Our party had 8 adults and 5 kids and our server food a great job bringing our drinks and refills quickly. The breadsticks and marinara on the table, when we sat down were warm and delicious. The kid’s sizes of pasta were huge and had leftovers for 2-3 additional meals. The chicken tender and crinkle fries were crispy and generous portions. I had the meatball calzone and it was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The lasagna and pizza looked very good also. I recommend this hidden restaurant.
