  Great atmosphere and amazing food. Chef Rae knows what’s up. She’s an artist when it comes to crafting unique Italian dishes.

  The night we were there, they appeared to have only two waitstaff working. Service was very friendly, but not attentive at all. Literally another table turned over twice while we were there. We were a table of 7, not huge but not small. I ordered the veal parm and it was completely charred (aka burnt) on one side. Of course that was the bottom side. I got tired of waiting for our waitress to mention it to her, so I just ate all but the worst parts. When I did mention it to her, her first response was "was it just the breading"! That was the end...no other comments. As much as we enjoyed the atmosphere, which was lovely, we stopped there to eat. I would like to say we'd go back, but not sure if the service and food would be any better. It's a hard pass for me. Way too many options out there.

  There isn't anything I don't love about this place! We love Big Night, we go monthly and love how Authentic the food is!! Last night we tried every special they had, great stuffed peppers.

  Loved this place. I’ve lived in South Tampa for years, having driven by this place probably thousands of times, and I finally stopped in. Kaitlyn was our server, and she was amazing. Food was delicious. I’d highly recommend you stop in!

  Service was outstanding and we were seated with our reservation of 8 immediately. Entrees, however, were quite underwhelming in both size and most importantly taste/temperature. Two of us had the lamb which was luke-warm at best. Two others had Marsala and Nonno Pasquale with veal and also commented food was not very hot. For around $40/entree you would think the chefs could use a thermometer or two in order to check temps prior to serving. My guess is the lamb was reheated from the day or two before and thus never brought up to temp. A freshly braised or stewed lamb shank should fall off the bone and be hot from the braising liquids. There are far better Italian restaurants in this price range or less to enjoy a meal at.
