Good portion of food, garlic bread is definitely pretty good. Steak is more than expected well, crisp outside and tender inside but just a bit of dry. We ordered linguine clams, pacific fish pasta, seafood fettuccine. I don’t like too creamy, so fish pasta is good for me. Lobster ravioli is okay.

I was coming from Yosemite, tired, starving, and looking for a good place to eat. I found this place, and it was super busy. Without any hesitation, the restaurant was able to accommodate us. Best Service and Italian food 8nhad in a while. The service was superb. Prices were fair. Ambiance compliments the food and service. Highly recommended

The service and atmosphere were amazing. Thank you, Gabriel, for the excellent service. The food was fine- it wasn’t bad, but it’s not the best Italian I’ve had. All in all- a nice dinner and we would return.

Scusa me, but let me tell you how great this place is. We decided to go on a whim after driving past it. The restaurant was easy to find and there was ample parking (at least at the time we went). Our waitress (Bianca?) was wonderful, engaging, and attentive, along with all the other restaurant staff. I’m not an Italian cuisine aficionado, but the food was magnificent and they don’t shy away from garlic (hurray!). We ordered the ossobucco (a special), the lobster ravioli (also a special), and the scallops, and they were all wonderfully rich, hearty, and balanced. The tiramisu was a perfect sweet and light ending to a terrific meal.

This place is an absolute gem! I sat in the outdoor patio area and it set off an excellent vibe. The servers were attentive and pleasant. The food was top notch. Everything was delicious from the wine, appetizer, entree, and desert. I celebrated my 30 birthday there and it was such a special experience. I definitely plan on coming up for dinner from Reno at least a couple times a year for this wonderful food.

We had a party of 9 (with reservation). They sat us in the middle of the main room, with no extra space on the ends of the table for servers to walk by. The place was pretty loud already and talking across the table was difficult.

Great service. Complementary bread is awesome. Clam linguine is sour and watery. But we had great time bc the great service.
