The service staff are super friendly. They know the regulars very well. It’s not a fast meal, but that makes it all the better. They hand make nearly everything, including the chips for the artichoke dip. Pasta is delicious, sauce is delicious, kids portions are generous, wine is good. Highly suggest to anyone in town, and anyone visiting Lawrence for the first time.

Amazing Italian food, one of our favorite places to go with family. I personally love their Alfredo, and my mother in law loves their Gorgonzola steak dish. Really we’ve never had a bad option! Service is good as well & they offer cheesecake for birthday dinners!

Tasty food. Loved their seafood pasta. Very quiet on a busy Saturday night (or maybe we were the noisy ones haha).

Great menu, wait staff, and ambiance! Not the best Italian food I’ve ever had, but I have high standards growing up in an Italian family. And there was nothing wrong with anything we had; it was all delicious! Like a step up from Olive Garden without losing the breadsticks or salad the waitress apologized and gave us a free dessert for having a bit of a long wait for the food, but honestly we were having a nice night and didn’t even really notice

This place has gone so downhill! The service is not good. We were there an hour and a half. It took 30 minutes to get our appetizers and the mushrooms were completely cold and the mushrooms were uncooked. We did not get replacements until we received our dinner after another half hour. They were not even busy. We kept having to hunt down our waiter as well as he never came to our table. My husband’s dinner for $15 was literally served in the same small appetizer dish as the 3 mushrooms. We used to love this place, but we are done! Done waste your time…

Was pleasantly surprised by the quantity of food we received. My husband and I shared their equivalent of Olive Garden’s tour of Italy, and the portions were great- between that, our appetizer, and the (very good) breadsticks and salad, we ended up with some leftovers. My only complaint was with the staff- the hostess was a little bit rude, and our waiter took a while to get us refills and our check, although he was nice and friendly. The atmosphere definitely feels like a dive, but they have good food if that’s all you’re after.

This place must either be really struggling or under new management.

I wish I could give it a better review however I have been there a couple of times and basically have had the same experience. Food is a five star… no question, solid. Family style salads, breadsticks are awesome…. my problem has been the staff and service. Friendly yes, however each time we’ve had to wait a very long time 25+ minutes for main course. How long does it take to make pasta? I imagine the marina sauce is already prepped ready to go…. the place was empty too. Anyhow, if you have patience, want some good Italian food, check it out. Been around a long time. Perhaps I have just had some bad luck. I have not given up on this place nor should you.

Made a reservation for 20 at 8pm on a Saturday night, but showed up 2 hours early with only 9. Manager on duty happily accommodated us and got us seated ASAP. Food was great, prices were surprisingly low, and service by Maggie was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Lawrence!
