“Outstanding! Price is similar to olive garden, however the quality is far above. We had the lasagna, and the carbonara. Both dishes were excellent. I really enjoyed the tirimasu desert. I enjoyed the atmosphere, dark and calming. While the service was friendly and prompt. If you are visiting for a special occasion they placard you table with a happy birthday, or anniversary sign. It's a nice touch. I recommend making reservations as tte restaurant is small, and very busy.”
“We had the cheese bread, lasagna and carbonara. The red sauce is on the sweet side, different but very good. Great food, service and atmosphere.”
“The Best!! The salad in a homemade bread bowl with homemade dressing was so yummy! Homemade pasta, delicious! Wine, perfect!! And the tiramisu was the bomb! Love that the family works together. Wish they could duplicate themselves and open one in Florida.”
“Date Night! Spent Valentines dinner here and it was amazing. No need to drive to KC for authentic italian and welcoming service. We were greeted by Emi herself and Nonna! Halle our server was attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable. Food was hot, fresh, and favorable beyond measure! Very romantic yet cozy atmosphere. We will be going regularly.”
“This small, family-owned Italian restaurant is an absolute gem. The food and drinks were incredible—everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with so much care. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making the entire experience feel special. What truly sets this place apart is the family themselves; seeing them work together and treat every guest like family made the visit unforgettable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing Italian food and a heartfelt dining experience.”
