I didn’t want to make this review but I hope it helps the restaurant change a few things. This was our first time at this restaurant we’ve heard great things and decided to give it a try. We went on 2/29/23 around 5pm I’ll start with the whole order. My family ordered the lasagna, chicken parm, mozzarella sticks on the kids menu and the chicken tenders kid menu. We only sent back the chicken tenders because they were store bought chicken nuggets not good ones either. The chicken parm should have been sent back as well but we don’t like to be difficult people. The chicken had no color like it was raw but wasn’t and tasted like oil. We took my other kids food home and reheated it the next day that’s when we noticed the mozzarella sticks were covered in mold. The lasagna was the only thing that was edible. I will include pictures of the kids meals.

Best Italian food in Sebastian. They have an early bird menu and we got the lasagna and tilapia off it. Both were delicious. I usually am hesitant to get fish at a restaurant I’ve never been to before but I did this time and wasn’t disappointed. The tilapia topping was crispy and the fish itself was perfectly cooked. The service was great. Jim, our waiter, was very friendly and explained items on the menu and the specials in detail for us. The server was quick to bring our food and clear our table when he were done with the course. We will definitely return to this gem.

We called to make sure you had gluten free food , and cook separately. A lot of restaurants say it’s gluten free , but they cook in same fryers.

All the staff is friendly and courteous! Corinne at the front is awesome! Love her personality!!!Another staff member offered to serve us a drink while we waited for the rest of our party. He engaged us in pleasant conversation . And our waitress, I think her name was Mia, (she’s pregnant) but was attentive not only to our group but other tables she waited on. The authentic italian food is the best in the Vero.Sebastian area! It is our favorite restaurant!

Really good food and a friendly atmosphere. There really is no better place for Italian food around. Early bird prices up substantially. Can understand that. But reason for the lack of a star is at the end there is also a new 3% surcharge for using a credit card. Just never can understand why a restaurant would risk the goodwill for an extra buck or two at the end of the meal. Not huge to pay, but why make the customer feel like a chump paying a special surcharge. So dinner ends on a down note for a large majority paying with a credit card. Not good at just the time diners are thinking of a gratuity too. All else is top notch! Hope they rethink the annoying surcharge.

We went at the last moment. We didn’t realize that it was a smaller venue and that it would have been best to make reservations. That did get us in, but we had to be away in an hour, as the table had been reserved. I had the soup and lasagna, both of which were excellent.

We have been looking for a Friday night dinner spot. This will not be it. My wife asked the server if she could scampi with chicken instead of shrimp was told yes what she got was NOT scampi when we inquired we were told oh no that’s what you asked for it just look different. LIE. Chicken piccata is not a scampi. We will NOT be returning. Your loss of a very routine customer year round
