It's Italian Cucina

Delicious food and intimate atmosphere. Great for Date Night or a Girls Dinner. I’ve been here three times and each time I’ve been impressed. You can not go wrong with anything on the menu. I haven’t had a chance to sit out on the patio but once the weather gets cooler, I’m definitely taking advantage.

I have never tasted a better Chicken Picatta in my many years walking and eating on this planet! Al, the soul and and creative culinary force that keeps this ‘place’ top notch has me coming back here at least once or twice a week. His heart of gold and ‘love’ of what he does is reflected in the staff and amazing ( really) wine selection. This is a restaurant that delivers more than fine food ; it delivers on all fronts as to what you’d like when you go out for a great meal. Bon Apetit!

I wanted to take my daughter out for my Birthday. I hoped to make Happy Hour, but only honored at bar (she's 8) or outside (108 degree weather) I was a bit disappointed to learn about these conditions. Was greeted by the most enjoyable man (I wish I got his name) but he was a fantastic host. Food was just OK for price. I ordered chicken piccata with brocollini and she has noodles with butter (no kids menu)

I’m visiting Austin and this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to visit this restaurant when I come back. Skyler, the general manager, provided the best service I have ever had. More managers should be as personable and thoughtful as him. The whole staff was a delight, and the food/drinks were just as good and authentic. The food is Northern Italian, and will make you crave Italian food now. Thank you for the amazing experience ❤️

No words for the meal! It was exactly what I was craving for! Delicious, perfectly cooked, and an amazing service. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, I 100% recommend it.

Not sure how this gem hadn't crossed my radar sooner. Exceptional service and excellent food. The wine list was also a standout in both variety and value. The lobster ravioli was faultless - at first I was thrown off by what I thought was a strange pairing of flavors with the orange liqueur but it worked perfectly. Arancini and burrata were good, though some focaccia alongside it would have set the pair off. Tiramisu, also dang good. Looking forward to returning.

This place was incredible! I wasn't sure about it based on the unassuming name, but I was very pleasantly surprised. 😂 The prosciutto caprese appetizer is a must get. I loved the risotto and my wife was raving over the truffle fettuccine. Pricing and portions were fine, atmosphere was calm and enjoyable. Looked like a decent beer and wine selection. We will definitely be back for a date night.

Mmmm… delicious hole in the wall Italian from the least expected joint on the block. Exceptional wine and drink selection and the menu is solid. Tapas and happy hour is the pro tip but also easy to spend a three hour dinner here.

Really beautiful, small place with a wonderful atmosphere. They also have a great outdoor patio, but the street is pretty busy so it might be noisy. Our waitress was great- all the staff was; right there taking care of making sure water glasses were filled and plates were cleared. Food was delicious. I had the chicken Marsala with a side of spaghetti and cleaned my plate. My friend had the vegetable fettuccine in a cream sauce and said it was outstanding. We had the very decadent flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Rich and creamy. I would recommend giving them a try.

Ok, I don't really remember the names of the dishes, sorry, but the food was excellent. I really like the risotto. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes! Tiramisu is a must! A perfect dessert to end the meal. Service is excellent and fast. We were able to get our questions answered about the menu-we haven't been back since they changed up the menu. We were a little disappointed that they took away the 3-course/4-course meal sets. They now have a 7-course meal set for $75. All of the servers are attentive and clean up our dishes very quickly. The same owner owns the pizza place next door, which I would love to check out one day!

This place never disappoints! Came for HH on a Wednesday (1/2 price bottles of wine!) love the new tapas menu - we pretty much ordered one of everything. All were delish. Nice cocktails. Impeccable, friendly service makes you feel like your in Nona's kitchen!

Hit or Miss at It's Italia Cucina Opting for an early dinner at It's Italia Cucina, I took a seat at the quiet bar. Cute spot. The location and service were commendable, but my food choice left me underwhelmed. Despite hearing great things, my dish fell short of expectations. I'm open to giving it another try, hoping for a more impressive experience next time.

We dined here this evening and it was delightful. We ordered bruschetta and focaccia before our meal and they were delicious. Each of us enjoyed our dinner selections! I had the gnocchi with vodka sauce and added chicken. It was fantastic. The table next to use had the fettuccine with shrimp and mushrooms and I will be trying that next time. Everything was served piping hot. Our server was great. Wonderful experience.

We visit all of our favorite restaurants during ACL...no one else is here. Nice setting. Plenty of free parking in the garage. We prefer patio seating (especially for HH). Service is friendly and knowledgeable. Never pushy or rushed. I've never had a bad meal here. All the apps are great. Lobster ravioli is divine (get it as a main). Tonight's special was duck stew - awesome! It's Italian at its finest.

Light were dim, music was low which made for a very nice ambiance. We were in a group for a birthday dinner but this place is very much so versatile. Great for dates too! The food in my opinion was just ok for the money. It was really bland. However, the drinks and the service was top notch! Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely recommend giving it a try.

We got in around 6:30 pm on a Saturday and it was not busy at all, we requested to sit in their patio and it was just perfect, very relaxing! The guy who greeted and sat us was very nice. We actually came because we were craving Burrata so we ordered Burrata and a Bruschetta to start. We asked for extra Balsamic and got maybe a drizzle extra. As we were down to our last bit we asked for more balsamic and the waitress said if we don't order an item with balsamic they won't give you extra which was disappointing. I understand it wasn't her but they are very stingy about how much you get. So if you love balsamic you won't get extra here so you might need to bring your own bottle. The bruschetta's had so much flavor! For drinks we started off with a Mexican Martini and I enjoyed it, it was slightly sweeter than others but good. For the second round of drinks we got the Sharita and an Aperol Spritz. I was expecting the Sharita to be a little sweeter but it wasn't. It wasn't my favorite drink, the Aperol was just like it should taste. I finished off with the meatballs and they were flavorful and the marina sauce was good. Overall the ambience was great, the staff was great and food was food aside for not giving you extra balsamic. We will definitely be back.

The food and the service are absolutely amazing. Alexander, the owner is an amazing man, so many stories, absolutely loved my time speaking with and getting to know him!

Came here on a Saturday for a double date and was very pleasantly surprised. The service was so warm and attentive (they were even training a new member of waitstaff at our table and it was seamless). To start, the 4 of us shared the: arancini (omg some of the best I've ever had), calamari, burrata (the truffle in it was delightful), and arugula salad. We also got an order of the grilled artichokes - so tender and perfectly charred. I see why they are famous. Entrees: rigatoni polpette, risotto with scallops, gnocchi and tagliatelle nere. While I can only speak to the gnocchi (so soft and addicting), there were 2 clean plates before we left. Overall, exactly what I wanted for an Italian food experience.

Nice location and great food and service. The gnocchi and chicken piccata were also good. Try the limoncello martini!

It's rare for me to post a five-star review because I think a lot of them are either paid for or friends of the business. Not in our case! This restaurant is not only fantastic, it's authentic. I've not had artichokes this good outside Italy. Their lobster ravioli is incredible, fat raviolis filled with what is clearly fresh lobster. My husband's veal piccata was wonderful (he says - I don't eat veal, but I tasted the delicious sauce and side of pasta). We went during happy hour and sat at the bar and had a great time chatting with bartenders Kolby and Dave (newly transplanted here from New Jersey). Kolby's Bellini was unusual, made with prosecco, but I liked it. Randy's Old Fashioned cocktail was a full glass and so delicious he ordered another one and a wine chaser with his veal. We also ordered an appetizer of calamari, which was a huge serving for two. The bruschetta was all right, but I would have preferred regular foccacia with my ravioli and skip the bruschetta, which was loaded with delicious cocktail tomatoes but no olive oil or sauce and only maybe worth the happy hour, not regular, price. Besides the delicious Old Fashioned and wine, that's all we ordered from the HH menu. We didn't pig out on the food because we wanted to have some leftover for breakfast at noon the next day, plus we wanted to try dessert - limoncello cake, which was light and delicious. At home the next morning I took a picture of the inside of the ravioli just to show how much lobster was in it - it was packed full, no breading or cheese filler. See attached. We won't order as much on our next visit, since the food is expensive, but we love that it's locally owned and NOT part of that detested (by us) McGuire/Moorman group that seems to be buying up and overpricing venues all over town. This restaurant is a gem and I highly recommend sitting at the bar if there are just two of you. We were pretty much the only patrons until we left around 7, when the place filled to the max, including the bar. This is a truly authentic central Austin Italian restaurant (we also like Juliet over on Barton Springs Rd) complete with a Jersey Boy bartender, accent and all. We'll be back.

This place is great! We went on a Thursday evening and it wasn't packed at all. We quickly got a seat at the bar and met the bartender, Colby, who was really sweet. Not a whole lot of options for beer but my guy was okay with Peroni. We ordered the Rullato to start (rolled smoked salmon, cucumber & mascarpone) which was nice! Loved all the dill. Then we decided to move into the prosciutto-wrapped burrata which is always a fam favorite -- an adorable presentation, too -- in the shape of a rose! The foccacia was tasty as well. For the entree, we split the chefs special and it was probably my favorite part of the meal. Peppered tuna over spicy rigatoni. The tuna was perfectly done and still cold in the middle which surprised me, given the fact that it was laying atop steaming hot noodles. It was really perfect. Kudos to the chef. We ended up closing it down because Colby and another bartender, Skyler, were just super cool and nice - lost track of time chatting it up with them. We'd definitely come back here to sit at the bar and hang out. I also noticed someone who might be the owner? He had an accent and was carrying around a glass of red wine which also made it feel really authentic. He was really nice too, and came over to ask us how our meal was.

Absolutely love this place. It's particularly great in the evening, for date night or a special occasion. What I found very nice was the Head Chef was the one that greeted and seated us!! That was the personal touch that I think got the night started, it only got better from there. Everything that we had was very good...ohhh and BTW, The Head Chef took our drink orders and checked in on us regularly throughout our meal. The carpaccio was nicely done and the pasta was very fresh and had a nice bite to it. We cant wait to go and try it again

We booked this restaurant last minute for 8 people for a birthday celebration because there was not much else available. We ended up making a good choice. The ambience is very nice. The food was good. A little on the pricey side, but everyone enjoyed their meal. I tried the fettuccine tartufo.. the truffle flavor was delicious! For dessert they brought out a birthday tiramasu which was lovely. The service was great. I would recommend checking this place out.

Such a lovely experience! So few restaurants do full white tablecloth service anymore. The food was incredible and the ambiance perfect - low light, the right volume for the music, good art. Wonderful pasta. Great for date night.

I have never written a review of a restaurant online but I had to say something about our experience. First of all, this place is pricy. I am not above a fancy dinner but for two pasta entres, one appetizer and no alcohol, our bill came to $90. Our appetizer- the arenccini was frozen solid on the inside. The other food was good but extremely overpriced for the amount of food and quality that we received. The waitstaff was friendly but came to our table so often we couldn't have a conversation. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, but we cannot justify going back for the price point and quality.

Great food, bread, and dessert. The focaccia bread is really amazing. flourless chocolate cake is a 10/10. Ive always driven past this place and wanted to go because I've heard its good. finally today was the day, and let me tell you it did not disappoint. will definitely be coming back here in the future. pricing is a little high, but for the quality of the food and the white tablecloths, it's nothing to complain about. Dave was out waiter and it was great service and good company. Overall great place !! .

Everything about this place is awesome! Great service, cozy, delicious food, especially love the gnocchi.

Very Good Service & I wanted to try something different as far as Italian food and I may have found a gem. I loved the way my chicken was cooked as the mushrooms And spaghetti noodles to compliment the meal. The sun was also dazzling as this will not be my last time here.

My crab ravioli was tasty but my friend didn't enjoy her spaghetti. It's good but overpriced for the quality.

This restaurant is wonderful! As you walk into the restaurant you see elegant vibe, with the bar area and a piano. (The only thing I'd mention is that the TV playing football kinda kills this 'fancy' vibe, I think!) We were served by a very nice waiter and the wine was great. Please try their Chianti! (Better than Pinot noir, we thought!) For appetizers we had focaccia and burrata- both soooooo yum! We had expected a bit more (like a tomato) too with our burrata, but it was delicious. For our main we had sausage pasta and normal pasta (not so sure names of them) The portions were big, especially the sausage pasta!! We did prefer the normal (I think carbonara, maybe? ) spaghetti it was so yummy! I would come back to try other menus too :)

First time visit this past Saturday and it was a wonderful experience! We wanted to try a new place and hubby made a reservation the day of. Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted and seated. Restaurant has safety measures in place to guarantee social distancing. Our server was very polite and attentive. Service was spot on - timely, efficient and frequent check-ins made us feel very welcomed. Everything was delicious - from our drinks, appetizers, and main course. Next time I'll try to leave room for dessert. I look forward to the next visit - I do recommend!

We used to come here a lot and the food is great, but I cannot wrap my head around their recent price hikes! I understand inflation and rent is crazy these days, but it seems like everything went up $10 per item. $15 for bruschetta, $20 for burrata, and $30-$40 for any pasta dish, and $40-$50 for an entree?! I'd expect this sort of pricing at a fancy restaurant downtown, but this restaurant is at the bottom of an apartment on south Lamar. The ambiance is nice but it's not that fancy. I just don't get it. I'll be back every now and then, but sadly it's gone from one of our go-to's to an occasional splurge.

This upscale, outstanding Italian food. Don't go by menu items or prices shown in reviewers' pictures, as they are a bit higher priced now. Most are in the $25~4o range. Check their web site for current offerings. Staff and the owner are super-friendly and knowledgeable. Great place for a date. PS: The gnocchi is excellent.

Incredibly delicious and authentic food along with a great dining experience that is extremely enjoyable in a comfortable and intimate atmosphere

It's mediocre. It's delicious hard salami. It's decent spaghetti bolognese. It's tasty, standard cocktails. It's street noise when seated outside. It's seventeen-minute waits with dirty dishes on the table. It's not my favorite.

I definitely recommend this place if you're in Austin and want an authentic Italian meal! It's also a really romantic dinner place! The food was great! This has to be by far one of my favorites! I will definitely be going back! Our waiter was great, the service was fast! Overall great experience! I also got dessert but didn't have a chance to get a photo cause it gone in a second hahah.

My husband took me here for my birthday a few days ago. What a wonderful dinner! A beautiful place, terrific atmosphere, and excellent, friendly service. The food and cocktails were outstanding. Since we could not decide on one or two shareable plates, we made a meal out four of them. Ravioli with lobster and grilled artichokes were perfect! And again, from the moment we arrived until we left, superb and friendly service from everyone we encountered.

All I can say about this place is WOW. We came here for a work dinner while in Austin for our annual conference. Our group was served food family style, starting with charcuterie boards, followed by salads, and amazing, hearty entrees. The charcuterie and salads were delicious, but obviously the real stars of the show were the entrees. My absolutely favorite was the tomato cream sauce gnocchi. Holy CRAP this stuff was good. I kept going in for more, and more, and more... I noticed we had plenty to go around so I didn't feel bad about going in for like four helpings (literally). It was thaaat good. The chicken parmesan was really good as well. Chicken was nice and moist and the dish overall had amazing flavor. Another shining star on this establishment is the owner. He is the SWEETEST man I've ever met! We walked in and we were immediately treated like we were family. I'm talking hugs right at the door! He was just so sweet and clearly so passionate about people loving the food. Business owners like him are one of the reasons why I love working for Yelp - I really do get to meet the best people! Highly, highly recommend if you're a lover of tasty Italian food and of course, wine. You will not be disappointed.

VERY MID I ordered gnocchi I rate it a 1 out of 10 It was bland and flavorless, tasted store bought. I also ordered the lobster ravioli I rate it a 3 out of 10.

This was my first time back since attending a Yelp elite event just before the pandemic. Al and his business partner, Charabella, used to own 360 Uno, sold it, and opened It's Italian Cucina. I love that all of Al's and Charabella's restaurants have tons of gluten free options! They have a beautiful outdoor patio where we were allowed to bring our two dogs. Lots of other patrons had their dogs on the patio as well. The co-owner, Charabella, loved and spoiled our dogs with a bowl of water and treats. Thank you Charabella! We came here for our anniversary specifically for the osso bucco. They even had a happy anniversary card with our menus. I hadn't had osso bucco in twenty one years. For some reason, it's difficult to find in Austin. It was just as delicious as I remembered having it in L.A. The polenta served with the osso bucco was creamy and flavorful. The polenta was perfectly seasoned but I did add a little salt to the osso bucco for leftovers the next day. For appetizers, I ordered the fresh baked gluten free focaccia bread with olive oil. My husband broke his keto diet to have the warm and soft bread. The next time I come with my dogs, I would like to try the coconut sorbet.

Food & service was amazing! As first timers, we were very happy and pleased with the fast & friendly service. The bartender Colby (I believe that's her name) was incredibly helpful, friendly and patient. I had accidentally spilled a drink and even though she was in rush hour, she stopped to help clean us up and the table. The ambiance of the patio was perfect for our date night and Colby definitely left an amazing impression on us, we will be back! Get the squid ink pasta! To die for!!

Bit of a bummer - gf and I saw great reviews so we tried it out for her birthday. Did not live up to the hype! $18 for a glass of the house cab and the pour looked light. (I think that when you get towards $20 for wine pours, you should use a carafe to ensure a full 6oz pour). Focaccia bread was ok, my gf's risotto was bland, and the squid in my tagliatelle nere dish was over cooked and chewy like rubber (everything else was delicious). Manager asked how everything was - I told him about the overcooked squid, and he said that they prepare it in house and its therefore served chewier here than other places...? Lol

Oh my osso buco! First of all I made the mistake of not ordering this for my entree but I did get to taste a little that had me wanting more. Presentation was perfect and tasted was even better. So let me digress and now tell you about our appetizers. We started with the cheese board which was nothing special presentation wise but who doesn't love cheese. Ordered the burrata which was fabulous, different colors and taste of tomatoes and the burrata was so fresh. Had the arracini as well which we cooked to a golden brown, not too oily and not overstuffed with rice. For my entree I ordered the cioppino which had the most flavorful and aromatic broth with just the right amount of heat. So tasty and generous portions of seafood. Server was very friendly. Restaurant had a nearby parking garage which is always a win in Austin.

The service is superb! Gnocchi was sooo good. Someone in our table has the caccio Pepe with mushrooms amazing. The carpaccio was very good too!!

Homemade pasta. It's what I was looking for and what I got. The ambiance was romantic without being over the top. Unlike other places I didn't feel packed in. The service was fantastic. I had the bucatini tartfulo and it was amazing. I would come back again when I return next

... was not worth the prices.. veal piccata had a chicken fried steak batter and was undercooked. Side of spaghetti was cold, had no oil on it, so dry and i had to ask for parmesan ... not a treat for a cool $42. The service was good

I had an excellent dinner her with some coworkers. I started with the Calamari and Verdure salad. It was very tasty. My entree was Branzino. Mediterranean Sea bass filet sautéed with shrimp, served with Asparagus in white wine and delicious seasonings. It was mouth watering good. I finished with a delicious cheesecake with extra strawberry sauce. Yummy!! Lastly, I enjoyed two delicious chocolate martinis. I would recommend this restaurant

Came for a friend's birthday and had a wonderful time! They called and were proactive about moving a reservation indoors after the weather had been pretty poor all day. A solid espresso martini, a good order of bruschette, and a decent gnocchi. As other posters have said, I might have thought it was store-bought as it didn't seem homemade. But it was still decently tasty! Our server was very kind and attentive. I think it's a bit in the pricey side, but we still had a good time together here!

Threw a celebratory dinner here with family. Super versatile menu if you want to go the traditional rich Italian route full of the delicious pasta an breads, or if you're more health conscious and want to stick to grilled vegetables and fish or chicken. They are accommodating to people with gluten and dairy issues (a big deal for an Italian restaurant!). Stuffed my face with GF bread and pasta, came home 5 pounds heavier, and 10/10 would do it again no regrets.

To start, we ordered the Focaccia and Burrata shared dishes. They were incredible, especially the mozzarella! I ordered the lamb chops and asparagus. Unfortunately I had to send it back. The meat was tough and the asparagus was mostly plain and undercooked. For a roughly $40 dish I received three small pieces of lamb and 5-6 asparagus. After returning the dish the manager informed me that the the reasons the meat was tough was because "they were pan cooked lamb chops, organic, very young, and ran around a lot". A bit of am insulting answer. The service was great and they didn't charge me for the lamb or the replacement bolognese.

The food was outstanding , we started with the Meatball appetizers, focaccia bread & Capri salad. They were very nice and substituted chicken for our Piccata (In place of Veal), we also had the house special Spicy Rigatoni, lobster ravioli, and a delicious chicken vegetable. All this complimented by a few Martinis (shaken not stirred), a few glasses of red wine. Would definitely recommend

Please see my original review for background but I have to state that their desserts are incredible! The tiramisu literally melts in your mouth and tastes so fresh. This slice is large enough for two to share and if you really have self control, maybe over two days! This is a top-3 favorite stops for desserts in town!

It's Italian is indeed Italian, mostly pasta. You're not going to be disappointed in the food, but I wouldn't go out of your way to come here. The bolognese and arrabiata are good and the cocktails are strong, but the menu seems overpriced. The burrata is served ice cold and not as creamy as I've had it in other mid-priced restaurants in Austin. I highly doubt they make the rigatoni in house, but who knows! The service is good and the patio has fans in the summer and heaters in the winter.

I am wildly impressed by the attention and service we received while dining at this restaurant. And parking is not an issue at all while, which was very convenient. I have to say - before I arrived I already had high expectations since they informed us there would be a fee if we canceled our reservations 2 hours prior to arrival and that we had to call if we were going to be 5 minutes late. Now I get why. So many people are involved in ensuring you have a great experience and a last minute cancellation could take away from someone else having that same great experience. When we arrived they promptly took us to our table which was prepared as we requested. Won't lie, we had a lot of very specific requests since some of the attendees had major gluten allergies or had particular food preferences. Altogether this restaurant delivered! The food tasted great, our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and seamlessly answered all our question. We will definitely be back again!

It's Italian was great. Our server was gracious in explaining which items on the menu could be made vegetarian, and checked with the chef to be sure about the ingredients for us. Turns out the arancini is made with chicken so it wasn't suitable for us. We had bruschetta instead. We ordered the cheese ravioli and a fettuccine both of which were portioned just right. Fettuccine was flavored somewhat lightly but the sauce in the ravioli was quite good. We ordered tiramisu for dessert, which was the perfect end to the meal.

Excellent food, great service, try the Italian sausage! Details My wife and I went to It's Italian Cucina for the first time on Valentine's Day. We chose it because it was the only place we could get a last minute reservation. They only had outdoor seating so we decided to give it a try. The weather turned out to be kind of chilly but the area was covered with a tent and well heated. It was very comfortable. We arrive a bit early and were very warmly greeted (by the owner?) and immediately seated. For Valentine's Day, they had a choice of 3 or 4-course fixed menus. My wife and I both got the 3 course. She also got the wine pairings. Here's what we got. Caesar salad - fresh, crisp romaine, white anchovies (I got extra!), and a nice dressing that wasn't too heavy. It was a perfect sized portion. Gnocchi with parma roma sauce, added Italian sausage (my wife's choice) - excellent dish, from the tender gnocchi to the very tasty sauce. The sauce leans a bit creamy due to the parmaggiano (I presume) but not heavy at all. The Italian sausage deserves a special mention. It was fantastic! Coming from an Italian family and growing up on the East Coast, I often am disappointed with the Italian sausage but not here. A very healthy amount of sage gives it the great flavor I want. We asked where they buy it to see if we can buy local. Nope. It's imported, of course. Veal Piccata (my meal) - a very nice dinner, two pieces of veal with a nice, light, lemony sauce. The side pasta was a simple thin spaghetti with olive oil and shaved parmeggiano. Delicious. Tira misu (my wife's dessert) - very good, traditional preparation. Cheesecake with strawberry glaze - very good, as well. The strawberry glaze was very lightly done, added just the right touch. The service was excellent throughout the meal. Our waiter was friendly and talkative but not overly so. The meal was perfectly paced, with time to relax between courses. The portions were perfect. We were satisfied but not stuffed. At $45 and $65 for the 3-course dinners without and with wine, the prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely return to It's Italian Cucina. We look forward to sampling the regular menu. And getting more sausage!

The husband and I decided to get out of Harker Heights and see what other eateries Austin had to offer. My husband and I were in the mood for some really good pasta and drinks, so we decided to come here and try it out. Let's just say it was the best decision ever. Place wasn't hard to find at all and parking was extremely close and not crowded at all. The place opened at five, we got there a few minutes early and we were allowed to still go in. We waited to be seated and took in how beautiful the place looked. We were greeted wonderfully by everyone in the restaurant and were directed to our seat. Our waiter introduced himself to us, asked us how our day was going, let us know what the special of the day was and kindly gave us time throughout the ordering process to order our beverages, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Our waiter was amazing, very patient and gave us enough time to decide on what we wanted and checked on us frequently to make sure that we were enjoying our food and refill our wine glasses with our glass bottled, still water that we ordered. Every item that we ordered was beyond delicious, portion size was perfect, the tiramisu (spectacular) and my alcoholic beverage was divine, especially the house made maraschino cherry. The pasta and the calamari was so fresh and flavorful. The sauce for everything was amazing. The husband and I love this place so much already and we are definitely coming back. Thank you for making our experience here an amazing one.
