Amazing Italian restaurant, perfect atmosphere and size. I knew the food was going to be good when the bread blew me away! Ordered the escargot with shrimp for an appetizer itt was amazing. The dinner special was pork chops stuffed with pruccito and mozzarella. Absolutely amazing. It's a little pricey but you will not go home hungry.

Anytime we have make the trip to Riverview from Clearwater, this place makes up for the traffic & time. LOVE their food! Never had a bad meal! You get what you pay for. Chicken Marsala & pasta fagioli are my fav’s. So tasty. So many mushrooms! I should have enough for every bite of chicken. :) Piping hot, huge portions! Comes with side of pasta & veggies. Maybe one of them & other belongs to my husbands chicken parm? Vodka sauce wasn’t too creamy, wasn’t bitter. Either way, plenty to share & always leftovers! This dinner night there was only one waiter. Idk how he did it, but he hustled & we didn’t feel forgotten. Nice guy!!! The place is tiny...Cozy? I wouldn’t recommend bringing kids. Dining room could probably use a facelift, but don’t change the master chef!

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food in a no-frills setting, you found the perfect place! The owner, Franco, pours his heart and soul into each of his meals. I can truthfully say everything on the menu is incredibly delicious, and the portions are generous. The Vitello Saltimbocca is phenomenal! We look forward to going back soon

Went here on a Wednesday, it was pretty busy but we got a table. Mike, our server was super nice, knowledgeable and attentive. The chef/ owner was working the kitchen by himself. I have so much respect for him, he works super hard and produces delicious Italian dishes. You can tell he cooks with love and passion. The dining room is not a shiny new chain restaurant dining room. It reminds me of individually owned Italian restaurants in the older parts of northern cities, which I love. It is also nice to be able to bring in your own wine and glasses. That saves a lot of money.

Server was excellent at handling multiple tables at once. Food was excellent and large portions. Atmosphere was quaint and no frills. Go for the food and not the ambiance.

Went there for valentines day and even though it was crowded service was attentive. Food as usual was delicious and so much that we had it the next day. I had galenti chicken my husband cordon blue. Chicken was so tender because you could hear the chef pounding it out in the kitchen. Good food at reasonable prices.

Went few weeks ago food was amazing!! Our server was spectacular unfortunately I can't remember his name but was like only dude working night I went with my dad. Bread is great, food was on point and service was wonderful. Best veggies I've had hands down. Felt like Nonna was in the back throwing down lol. Only thing is make sure you check your to-go order. Said no mushrooms for my mom's food and it was full of them, she wasn't too happy. But outside of that everything was great will definitely be back!
