  Firstly I would like to say that I’ve read a lot of previous reviews about how the food here is bland , lacks flavor and is disappointing . I have to disagree completely . If you are looking for your typical ‘Italian’ food/restaurant that is going to be so heavily seasoned and overdone with so much cheese that it will mask the fresh, high quality ingredients, then you might want to go somewhere else . If you want real Italian cooking where the ingredients speak for themselves , where the atmosphere and the people at the establishment make you feel like you are eating in an Italian household , then this is your place . Thank you for taking care of your customers and understanding what real, good quality food and ingredients really means and is supposed to taste like . I always leave in a great mood and can’t wait until next time .

  I chose this restaurant based on the high ratings, but the food was a massive disappointment. The waiter talked it up like it was going to be incredible, but nothing tasted like what he described. The baked clams were horrible—just unseasoned breadcrumbs thrown on top with zero flavor. The Pasta dishes ordered had no garlic, no red pepper flakes, and were completely tasteless. To top it off, they were entirely bland and the sauce lacked any richness. It is incredibly frustrating to make the drive out here for such subpar food. I will not be returning.

  One of the top Italian restaurants I've been to since I moved down here from up North, being Italian myself there's a certain standard of quality food we like to eat and let me tell you soon as I walked into that restaurant the aroma of the food was absolutely amazing I knew this was going to be a great time. The staff was fantastic, the owner is a gentleman. He takes the time to walk to the tables to talk to the customers, he certainly takes pride in his establishment and rightfully so we will be back many times over this is a Hidden Gem in the town of Brandon and I highly recommend to anybody if you were looking for old school phenomenal quality Italian food this is the place to go!!

  The food was honestly disappointing. We ordered the lasagna, Alfredo, and calamari, and everything was extremely bland and lacked flavor. It genuinely tasted like nothing and was not worth the price. What made the experience even worse was how I was treated when picking up my takeout. I was made to feel as though I was stealing my own food, and the way the situation was handled came across as racially profiling me. That was extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable. Between the quality of the food and how I was treated, this was a very disappointing experience. I would not return.

  From the moment you walk in you feel like you’re with family (the good kind, not the ones you can’t stand). The menu is simple to read and streamlined enough without leaving any of the usual Italian dishes out. Every single item we ordered was cooked to absolute perfection. The pasta is homemade and you can taste the difference, SO delicious. The owner came over and spoke with us a bit while we were there, that was nice, he is a very nice man, and took time out to say hello to us. Our server was charming and very knowledgeable about the menu, ended up talking me in to changing my mind about my entree and it didn’t disappoint. I had the seafood linguine - a special- the seafood was cooked perfectly and you could taste the love, this place is a diamond in the rough and we will be back!
