    Food was good but menu was limited. Ambience was nice and unique. Service was good with authentic italian servers. The basics are there but can be improved upon. Expanding the menu would help. Offering daily specials would also help with wait staff detailing the specials and being a bit more attentive, particularly when first seated

    Prompt seating through Open Table app. Quaint restaurant on the main thorough fair in Palmetto. We had two couples and started with salads. The waiter was very receptive to splitting the generous sized salads into separate bowls. Our guests had the veal medallions in a yummy sauce and the special lasagna they were offering that night. We had veal parm and their special linguini with porcini mushrooms and Italian sausage. Both were outstanding with generous portions. We were all impressed to say the least. I am hesitant to write a nice review for fear of not getting a seat next time around but they deserve to have their service and food promoted.

    Upon arrival for our reservation we noticed a quaint house turned restaurant. We were seated and brought waters and other drinks ordered by one server. However the wait time between ordering drinks and starters was significant. We finally stoped the server that got our drinks and asked if we could order starters, as no one had been over to help us. From what I can tell there are only 2 servers and one gentleman that does drink service. After ordering our meals (we ordered starters, salads and entree’s at the same time due to wait time) we were served nice baskets of bread and a garlic butter. It was good. Starters Buffalo Mozzarella and Meatballs arrived as did our Caesar salads. Wasn’t crazy about bacon/pancetta on my Caesar, but dressing was good. Then entrees arrived. Everyone in our group enjoyed the entrees. Pasta seemed to be freshly made and overall all were very flavorful and cooked great. Would go back.

    Cool restaurant, great service, our food was good but not quite great, but we will definitely go back! They have several other items we would love to try. The owners are from Rome, so yes, it's true Italian ❤️
