What a wonderful Sunday brunch! This was our first time coming and we will certainly be back. This café style restaurant, offers great Italian choices, Big portions and incredible food. Everyone love their meals. Everyone felt satisfied. Everyone took Home to go boxes because we could not finish the Food. I’m looking forward to trying some new items. The creamy Alfredo was spectacular. I just kept eating and eating more thinking how delicious my food was. The lasagna was amazing and meatballs were delicious. This hidden gem in downtown Columbia is certainly worth eating at. I highly recommend it.

Not a homemade Pastas. I saw boxes of Barilla’s in the kitchen. So basically you are paying premium price for sauce only.

The food here is amazing! Everything tasted SO good. Especially their cheesy focaccia bread which was a limited time special. Run don’t walk. The flavors are amazing, everything is homemade with love and it shows. As far as inside dining goes, it’s a seat yourself establishment and it was really busy when we went. Seating large groups might be a challenge if you want to sit together. But the food is worth everything. The desserts are also really good. I’ve previously gotten the fat girl delight to go and it was phenomenal. This trip, I tried the coconut cream pie and was so good. They change out their menu items so keep up with it on Facebook! They also have a tendency to be busy and sell out so if there is something you really want to try, go early! The owners are the sweetest. Mila, one of the owners, is very friendly and inviting. It will be like eating at your Italian grandma’s house. Definitely stop in here, get super full and be happy!! One of the best spots in Columbia. #GoodasFlick

The best Italian food I’ve ever had! I have LOVEEED everything we have tried here, the “Shari” being my favorite! The sauce is addictive and lick your plate worthy! The bread is delicious as well. We have also enjoyed every dessert we have tried. The atmosphere is super cute and feels like home. Oh, and the sweet tea—so good! The staff have all been wonderful, and the owner is kind; her passion is felt and reflected in these amazing dishes! So glad this place is here!

The BEST Italian food I have ever eaten in a restaurant in forever. I had the Fat Tony with a side of the sausage with the ‘crack’ sauce. This is my new go to eatery.

We went on a Saturday evening and it was busy, not shocking as the food is wonderful. The pasta is very delicious, sauce has a little spice and the focaccia bread is amazing. They have 49 seats because of building codes and fire regulations. You may or may not get a seat…don’t be a baby and complain, know this ahead of time. They turn the tables over really quickly but some patrons linger…that is on the patron not the restaurant owner. If it looks like you won’t get a seat…get it to go it is worth it.

The food was so good, and the service was amazing too! The lady who took our order was very patient and was great about helping us decide what to get, and even though they have limited seating they were good about making sure people moved along so that others could sit down to eat. We ended up sharing a table with a nice couple (we offered to, we weren’t forced to share the table) because it was at a busy time, and it was neat getting to talk to people we wouldn’t have met otherwise. I would definitely go back if I’m in the area again! Thank you for this great experience!

Amazing experience. We heard about this place from friends that couldn’t stop talking about how great ot was. When we arrived we looked at the quaint little gift shop before walking up to the counter to order. We noticed someone rolling fresh gnocchi. We approached him and discovered he was one of the owners. He explained what was made in house and what was delivered from Italy. He made a few suggestions and we ordered. Everything was delicious. The pasta, sauces, sausage and meatballs were all amazing. We drove 45 minutes to try it out and we will definitely be back. Yum!
