First time dining here, and it definitely won’t be my last. The entire experience was outstanding. The owner interacts with each table, and makes you feel like you’re at home. Highly recommend the Bolognese Fettuccine and the Chicken and Mushrooms. The limoncello Cake was like nothing we’d ever had.

Celebrated a month of no sugar with Limoncello cake! After a wonderful meal of fresh burrata, cioppino and a perfect ribeye, I was too full for dessert but only one bite was not enough. The desserts were so beautiful and delicious I didn’t have time to snap a picture before they were devoured. The atmosphere was romantic and the service was like coming home after a hard-days work to relax on the porch with friends.This isn’t just a great meal it’s a great experience.

The food here is always very good. Unfortunately they always seem to be understaffed and the service can be very slow. We went a couple of months ago and I asked the owner to please seat us where a particular waiter would not be serving us. He told us he had fired that person. We went back recently and there was the waiter, running around. We got his table. I am sure it is hard to keep a restaurant staffed in this day and age, but this place is chronically short of good people.

Lovely meal until I ordered shellfish risotto. Meal came and it was basically squid and octopus. I would never have ordered dish. We asked waiter why dish was called shellfish, and he said squid and octopus are shellfish. Wrong. Look it up. Anyway, he offered no apology and didn’t offer any alternative. Won’t be back.

This place is spectacular. I have gone here over the past two years and it still remains one of my favorite spots for special occasions within Dallas. Especially if you love Italian food. To start off, My date and I had a reservation. They were a little behind, but it didn’t matter because they had room in the bar gave us glasses of Prosecco due to the wait! The service was very accommodating and kind through the entire night. They offer suggestions on the menu and told us what they recommend. Afterwards we had Calamari, Lasagna, and Goccia. All were great. The Calamari was light and had an excellent texture. It came with shrimp and red snapper, as well. The lasagna was one of the best I’ve had. The chef changes it depending on the season but it is always amazing. Lastly, the Goccia had a rich chocolate flavor that was perfect to end the meal. They also have an amazing wine selection to pair with the dessert options that my girlfriend and I enjoyed. Will be looking forward to my next visit

Gem of a neighborhood place near Love Field. Very homemade feel. Lots of authentic Italian choices and tremendous service. Chef engages with the customers and makes recommendations based on your tastes. I made another reservation for two days from now to try another one. If you like spicy hot, ask him for home grown pepper on your pasta. HOT!! Enclosed patio if you like.

Wonderful as usual. We’ve been dining with chef Francesco for many years; he never disappoints. Most recently (February 2023) my wife had lamb chops that were perfectly prepared and tender to the bite, unlike most served elsewhere. I had spaghetti with a very nice tomato sauce (slumming — on a previous visit I’d had a delicious osso buco!) and our guest had carpaccio as a main course. For dessert we shared a (sinful) tiramisu. Lovely atmosphere (a bit loud when it’s crowded but we find that’s par for most restaurants) in a renovated small former home on Lovers Lane west of Inwood. In mild weather the open porch is a nice place to be seated.

Don’t let the location or the exterior fool you, this is a nice, upscale Italian eatery with a cozy, friendly vibe. The interior is a tad noisy, so I would opt for the patio. We started with the Fritto Di Paranza, which was calamari, shrimp, and other types of seafood fried to perfection. It’s accompanied with an excellent marinara sauce. For our entrees we chose the Feletto Di Salmone (pan roasted salmon) and the homemade lasagna. Both were good, with the salmon being the standout. We finished with the Creme Brulee, which was also good. Service is friendly and efficient without being obtrusive, and all in all it made for a lovely evening.
