I want to highlight the great work of Josue, a great human being and server all the time with a friendly smile and the best recommendations for desserts, wine, food! You have a great partner on him!!! I was in Italy in October and he made me transport myself there.

Best lasagna ever, it’s very rich and flavorful. The short rib pasta was great too, nice and tender but the oxtail lasagna is definitely special!! The bartender was very nice, but I didn’t like the old fashion cocktails. Nonetheless, a great dining experience overall!

I used to travel to Italy several times a year on business. Always loved the food and, well, everything about the country.

Delicious meal and wonderful experience. Intimate atmosphere inside with exposed brick and tightly nested yet perfectly situated tables. Attentive service. Especially loved the charcuterie with pecorino with pistachios, and the robiolo. Gnocchi and papardalle with mushrooms – wow so good. Focaccia and quality olive oil for the table. We’ll be back.

Visited as a party of 3. Delicious food. Portion size is reasonable. Good customer service. Wait time to receive our meal wasn’t long. I appreciate that they were able to accommodate us without a reservation. Plus, I disliked my initial cocktail. Our waitress recommended one sweeter & switched them out with no additional charge.

Nice little spot in admo that’s a bit more grown than the other restaurants and bars on the strip. The bar is a fun time, it’s always lively. Ive been a few times and have to say that the food is okay. The small dishes are better than the pastas, but nothing really stands out. My favorite thing I’ve had were the lamb skewers. Solid spot for reliable service and decent food options.

I went here for a celebration dinner and the food was phenomenal, so good in fact that I could barely get a picture before everything got eaten. We ordered the Arancini, Lasagna, Scallop Risotto, Chitarra, and the Ravioli. The lasagna with oxtail turned out to be an overwhelming crowd favorite. The service was impeccable with our waiter checking in on us consistently for anything we needed. We were sat in the enclosed outdoor seating area which had heating and windows for you to enjoy the feel of the city without the chill. Overall a wonderful experience.

From out of town and wife was in the mood for Italian food. This restaurant was recommended by one of the locals. Ordered the calamari and octopus to start and this place did not disappoint. Excellent food and service and the best part all the pasta based dishes were made in house from scratch.

The food was good, the price was bad. Having recently returned from Europe, could be that I’ve been spoiled. But, while everything tasted good, nothing tasted great. And for the high prices they charge, the expectations for flavor are high. The service was great, and the restaurant has a nice vibe and design. I always say if you walk away from a meal remembering the bill more than than the food, they’ve missed the mark.
