The lasagna and 5 cheese ravioli were both great. I will be thinking about that sweet honeydew wine forever. Our waitress, Sophia, was wonderful!

First time here and loved it! The focaccia was fantastic! Had the carbonara and lasagna and both were very good. The tiramisu was excellent! 1/2 price bottle wine on Wednesday’s was a nice bonus. The service was paced well with every table in the place seated at the time we were dining. Would definitely eat here again!

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Bloomington. I have eaten here a couple of times and have tried several different dishes when sharing with friends. We all agree that everything is outstanding here. This hidden gem is a must try in B-Town!

Wednesday half price wine special. You can have a nice bottle of Italian red & just order the eggplant rollatini & shut up. Trust me.
