I’ve been coming here for months. Food is always excellent and service is fantastic. They always make you feel like part of the family. I’ll have to back and look through all the food photos from here. Never had anything I’ve disliked. Personal favorites are the tortellini soup and the Veal Parmigiano. Though the gnocchi are probably a close second.

Loved the Lasagna! Definitely one of the best I’ve ever had! The complimentary bruchetta was a nice addition. The place is very small and they don’t take reservations, so definitely keep that in mind. The wine was great and the cannoli was excellent as well. I would definitely go back.

Wow!! Is all I can say. Gabriel, you run quite the phenomenal business! From the moment we walked in the door, I just knew we were about to eat some delicious and authentic Italian food. The bruschetta was to die for, our kids devoured the bread and butter, and the entrees exceeded our expectations. Presentation was perfect, the customer service was TOP-TIER and the atmosphere was amazing. We will definitely be returning for sure. Thanks again!!!

I enjoyed my dinner here, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed to find that the menu is Italian-American style, not more authentic Italian style with primi, secundi, contorni, etc. The food itself is also what I would call Italian-American. That being said, the food was very good and I would come back. The restaurant was busy and I had to wait to get a table. It was worth the wait.

We really enjoyed the food (bruschetta, calamari and veal/eggplant parm) as well as the atmosphere. If you are in Greenville I would definitely recommend. The wait if you have one is well worth it.

If you want authentic Italian in cozy, candlelight space then this is the place for you. Everything that we ordered was superb and the best part at the end was the tiramisu! A definite must-have! Highly recommend it.

First time here. Recommend getting there early as they don’t take reservations and get crowded! Tiny restaurant, only a handful of tables. However, the food is 10/10. I would wait 2 hours to eat this food again. It’s authentic as authentic Italian food gets in South Carolina!!! I finished with a shot of espresso and even that was perfect. Next time I go, I’ll definitely try dessert. Grab ya people and GO!!
