    Food was outstanding, especially the beet salad! My taste buds danced with joy! I’ve never had anything like it! Our first time visiting but we will be back. Italian food done with exceptional taste and flair! Also loved the atmosphere!

    Absolutely delicious as always! Got the focaccia to start, then the chicken parm, and ended with tiramisu and affogato! Everything was absolutely amazing

    Food and service was excellent. We were on the covered patio. Very noisy was the only drawback. Still worth it though.

    Enjoyed our outside dining. Wine was good, Caesar salad was missing bread crumbs and very bland. Calamari was okay. Chicken parm was very delicious. Short rib polenta was good but very small portion for the price.

    This is such a dainty, beautifully decorated Italian gem located in the heart of Covington. I was pleasantly surprised by the romantic decor and crystal chandeliers in the upstairs main dining room and extremely satisfied with the meal I ordered (which was suggested by my waitress, Alyssa).
