The food was excellent and the service impeccable. This is authentic Italian cuisine, you can get standards like chicken parm or lasagna, but I got the pollo focaccia and it was delicious, it reminded me of my Italian grandmother's cooking. I went with a large party and they accommodate d us even with some extra people. The only thing is parking in Winchester center can be tough, I was surprised how busy it was on a Sunday night.

Had lunch last Tuesday with a blonde waitress Rene? She was delightful and very accommodating to my elderly mom. She made us feel like we were her only guests. Food was good as well we shared a salad and had a pesto pasta special. I will be booking a function for my daughter’s bridal shower and will request Rene? Kudos

Pleading for an offering of a different gluten free pasta! Whatever is currently served is easily the worst I have ever tasted in my twenty years of being gluten free.
