Hear from our valued guests
Y’all did not disappoint. We started with the Caesar salad and the salumi plate. The Caesar had great flavor…easily one of the better ones I’ve had in a while. For entrées, my wife had the halibut, which was cooked perfectly, and I had the gorgonzola filet….also executed spot on. The food quality and execution were on point across the board. The only opportunity I noticed was during a server transition. There wasn’t a clear handoff or introduction to the new server, which left us unsure who was taking care of us…we ended up having to ask. A quick introduction or acknowledgment would have made that seamless. All in all, great experience—keep it up.
Such a good first time here! I feel like there are already a lot of good reviews but had to add our experience. Came with our family and ended up staying for a few hours. Appetizers and entrees were phenomenal. We started with Bruschetta, the meatball, and calamari. All were served with amazing sauces. We had a variety of different pastas as well- lobster ravioli, short rib ravioli, spicy chicken, etc. all were great! The atmosphere was perfect, they sang a few songs for us and the staff was incredible. Lucy was an amazing waitress, you can tell she genuinely cared and loved her job! I would come back just to have her serve us again. Perfect spot for date night, nicer family dinner, or just wanting amazing Italian. Appreciate our time there so much. We will be back ❤️
From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported straight into a classic Italian atmosphere. The warm welcome set the tone immediately—especially thanks to Gino, an incredibly funny and charming host, and the amazing Vanetta, who took care of us from start to finish. Let me start with the service: it is truly next level. The attention to detail and genuine customer care really stood out. While many places focus on the bill, here they focused on us. Honestly, I would give five stars just for the service alone. Now, the food—absolutely delicious. True Italian, family-style dining with generous portions. And when I say generous, I mean huge! We love food, but even we were surprised by how much was served. Every dish was full of flavor, and the drinks were just as impressive—perfectly crafted and full of taste. And the desserts? Simply out of this world. Not only were they delicious, but they came with a show—something you have to experience to fully appreciate! Finally, the ambiance: it genuinely feels like being in Italy. There was dancing, singing, and such a lively, joyful energy throughout the night. It was impossible to feel bored for even a second. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. This experience was simply amazing. We will definitely be back! 🇮🇹✨
Absolutely incredible. We were here to celebrate my husband’s birthday and we’re so pleased with the entire experience. Their pastas are hard to beat. Banger! We ordered scampi Sinatra and bruschetta for antipasti and pistachio pesto pasta and the spicy chicken pasta for the main course. The portion size for pastas was huge! We are definitely gonna visit this place again.
Wow! What a fun place! Loved the attentive service with an extra mile, the live accordion music and italian singing and the awesome food quality! My seafood was fresh with my prawn tails prepped for easy removal and pastas cooked to perfect texture. Definitely a fun place for a girls night or date night-- it can get pretty loud so I do not recommended for those wanting a quiet intimate meal.
This place is one of the finest Italian restaurants I have had food at. Everything we ordered here was fantastic, the Scampi sinatra, calamari & Shrimp fritti, chicken Parm was out of the world! Lobster ravioli was sumptuous. The service was exceptional. Absolutely recommend visiting. It's a bit pricey, but if you want to go for a old fashioned Italian meal, this is the place to go.
Food was top notch, the service impeccable! The atmosphere was lovely. The singing was perfect. I ordered the salumi and cheese platter and the short rib ravioli. My son got the lobster ravioli in a rose butter sauce. Not fishy at all. The truffle cheese was Amazing. The dessert was perfect.
Amazing all around! We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here and had a great experience. The food was fresh and delicious and atmosphere was incredible. We really enjoyed Cameron on the accordion, was really a special touch to my boyfriend whose grandfather plays the accordion. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian. We will be back for sure!
My husband and I stopped in for an early dinner a few weeks ago. We loved the experience so much, I decided to celebrate my birthday here this year. They accommodated a party of 13 with ease. The night was absolutely wonderful. The food and service is truly top tier and arguably the best Italian dining experience I’ve ever had (by far the best I’ve had in Washington state)! We enjoyed our food, the ambiance, the complementary champagne and most of all the personal greeting and happy birthday song from the restaurant owner. It’s very obvious the passion for food here runs deep and it certainly reflects in the dishes. I would highly recommend the Halibut special if it’s available, or the Cacio e Pepe Pasta topped with an absolutely massive lobster tail!
We went there for dinner and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely amazing flavorful and beautifully prepared. The service was equally impressive. The overall atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
