“ Hands down best "traditional" Italian I've had in Ohio. Despite the random location, the ambiance was incredible too. Very intimate dining, perfect noise level, service was great, high quality food. Everything really blew us away. I had the lasagna and my boyfriend had the pasta platter, so we got to try several sauces. The vodka sauce was a winner for sure, but their red sauce was unbelievably flavorful. We enjoyed every part of our dinner and can't wait to go back! ”
“ Food has always been great, atmosphere is an awesome dinner spot, service is great. When in the area for business, I often go here with my team mates. ”
“ One of our top favorite places to dine. We eat there on a regular basis and are never disappointed. The Papardelle bolognese is so good as is the lasagna, the pizza, I can go on-and-on throughout the menu. ”
“ The food was outstanding, I started with a salad and had Sea Bass. The service was outstanding and her recommendations were spot on. The atmosphere, music, and overall environment was perfect. No time to take photos of my food as it was outstanding and I took no time to start eating. ”
“ So, it was a 4 for food quality and taste. Take prices into consideration maybe 3.5. We started with a seat in the hallway/front porch. Not the ideal seat in the house. Every time someone opens the door temp drops 10 degrees. We're treated by a friendly waitress and brought our drinks promptly. The bourbon list was almost double what some of the prices should be. You can't charge $18 for a pour of a $37 bottle. Silly. Anyways, the calamari was really good. Breaded but VERY tender. Wife had gnocchi with fennel sausage and she said it was great. I had the Nonnas eggplant parm and it was different but very creamy and tasty. We wrapped it up with a piece of cake that was delish. Theee downfalls-wife asked for a 6 ounce poor of wine and the waitress brought her a 10oz poor. When my wife mentioned "it looked like a lot" waitress stated thought you said 10 and then carved is the extra $6 for it. Second the seating, would have definitely rather been inside. The inside, though in kind of disarray, sure looked cozier than the porch. Lastly, pricing is a bit much for what you get. $180 for two people demands 4 star service and ambiance. This was not par to price. Although the food was good I can think of 50 establishments I'd rather spend $180 on dinner. ”
“ Classic authentic Italian with fresh yummy pasta! Wine selection especially their Super Tuscans were great. This was our 3rd time coming w a group and the service was impeccable. I tried the veal Marsala and substituted the risotto w the fresh linguine and ate every bit of it. Everyone else enjoyed their meal as well. The bruschetta and calamari starters were good too. Oh--and the freshly made grilled Caesar salad w fresh anchovies were a treat! Great do casual or fancy night out. Every town needs an authentic Italian restaurant like this. ”
“ Came for a recent weeknight dinner with friends and enjoyed the experience. Arrived in time for a few drinks at the bar during Happy Hour and they did a nice job mixing cocktails for us. We then moved to the dining room for our meal. We started off by sharing a mixed greens salad and then an order of calamari. The squid was served battered and very crispy with a side of garlic aioli for dipping. I had my go-to Italian dish, the chicken parmesan. It was large enough for leftovers to make it home...a very hearty plate! Would look to come here again in the future, if we were in the area. ”
“ Real nice place! Karen at the bar did a great job and the food was delicious! I had the pappardelle and bolognese sauce with meatballs. The pasta and sauce was great! Two things I would point out, the meatballs tasted and looked institutional like Cisco, and the only bread they had was focaccia, hate it. Good Italian place should have good Italian bread or rolls.... Just me. Great place, great people and good food! ”
