I visited this place THREE times during my stay in Sorrento. It was absolutely worth the wait for each visit. The food was phenomenal. There wasn't one thing I disliked. I'm really considering visiting Sorrento again just so I can eat here. Also, be mindful of line cutters, cause one night people tried but they definitely did not succeed.

We read about this restaurant and it said there is always a long line so go early. It said that it opens at 6:30, so get there at least by 6:00 to make it in for the first seating. We went at 5:45 and we were #27 and #28 in the line! I counted how long the line was just as they opened the doors and there were 66 people waiting. The food was excellent - especially for the price. The service was prompt and really friendly. I had the spaghetti alla vongole (clams), which was perfect, and the grilled prawns, which was very good (but I had forgotten how much work it is to de-shell them to get to eat the things!). My husband had fried stuffed zucchini flowers, which he enjoyed but felt that using mozzarella instead of the more common ricotta made the dish denser and heavy. He would've enjoyed it better if a different cheese was used. But they were quite flavorful. And he had the fresh-caught grilled fish, which he very much enjoyed (despite finding a few bones in it). We ate outside and the people we were chatting with in line were seated next to us, so we continued our chat - which ended up being really enjoyable. The outdoor setting was very pleasant. Was it worth the long wait? I'm not sure about that. The food was very good and the price was super reasonable. The service and the atmosphere were great. Does all that add up to a 45 minute wait? I don't think so, but I'm glad we did it just the same. It was a nice evening - and it was definitely not spoiled by the long wait. Check it out for yourself.

Absolutely perfect :) Been here twice while staying 3 nights. Reasonable price and no cover charge (seat charge) either ! Asked to make more spicy as I craved spicy food a lot. Staffs are all lovely and welcoming. Love this place so much and I definitely coming back again :) Grazie !!!!

The best meal we had in Sorrento. Service is great! Prices are very very reasonable. Definitely have to get there at least 30 minutes before they open to wait in the line but it’s absolutely worth the wait and the walk a little outside of the center! We probably would’ve eaten there every night if it wasn’t for the long line

Very good pasta for a very fair price. We had the Gnocchi Gorgonzola (very balanced flavor) and Spaghetti with meatballs. The portions were very large and only 13 euros, which is much cheaper than most (overpriced) pastas in Sorrento. The lemon delight and tiramisu were very good too. To sweeten the deal, the house wine was only 2 euros per glass (great wine for the price) and the Limoncello we ordered was free. While in most other places, this would not have been worth the wait. This is probably the best place you can have dinner in an otherwise tourist trap rich Sorrento. A bit on the wait time: We had dinner here end of October. We arrived around 18:05 and there was already quite a line (the first people were in line at 17:45 already). The restaurant opened at 18:35 (although maps said it opens at 18:45). Everyone in line managed to get a spot, but after about 5 minutes the remaining seats were filled too. The first people in line after the restaurant filled up got a table around 19:25, but they served cheese and wine to those in line. We'd recommend to show up well before opening if you want a reliable wait time. However, we were surprised by how many people fitted into the restaurant.

The night before we came across a huge line and decided that the food there must be smth extraordinary, if so many people are ready to wait for so long :) The next day on our way back home from the beach at around 6pm we decided to take a place in the line :) We waited for an hour :) A man from the restaurant treated us with red wine and cheese, so that the wait wouldn't be so hard :) The food was really great. They serve extremely good homemade food. The waiters were nice and cute. But it was such a noise, that we could hardly finish our food and run away :(

This is the best restaurant we have eaten in, in Sorrento. The food is mouthwatering. It was hard to choose from the menu. It is a place to return to. We arrived at 8.40pm, there was a queue of about 16 people in front of us. We were seated inside the restaurant, and our seats were at the meat and cheese counter, heaven to me. Everything looked delicious, and it did not disappoint. We had cured meat with melon and smoked cured meat with cheeses to start, crusty bread delicious. I had deep-fried calamari with fries, homemade fries like we get in Ireland. My husband had the tuna in spaghetti. It was so flavourful, and there was not a crumb left. For dessert, he had the tiramisù, I had the lemon delight. It was the perfect end to an amazing meal. 10/10 The staff are so friendly from the owner on the door to everyone we dealt with. The restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Once a table is free, it is cleared and reset in moments for new customers. Highly highly recommend

1st to arrive when it opened at 730pm. This restaurant in Sorrento is amazing. I had very good Octopus pasta and we enjoyed the mix shellfish dish. Very friendly staff. Overall a very good experience dining here.

Without knowing that this place is such a hot spot, we went there before 6pm -knowing they open 6:30pm- saw a line! People before us and later after us told me they came early to get a seat and was their 2nd and 3rd time in row! We were among the 1st seating group! Ordered pulpo salad and eggplant parmigiana for appetizers -delicious! Mouthwatering!! For main, spaghetti with muscles and another dish spaghetti with meatballs. both of them were amazing! Meatball was so tender and not salty. Muscles with spaghetti also brought very natural flavor from the seafood. Their service was amazing!! And super efficient!! Apple pie for dessert was good but the crust was too thick for my preference.

Absolutely obsessed with this spot! I found this restaurant on a blogger website and I am so so grateful that I did! They do not take reservations however they do open promptly. We got in line about 25 minutes before the dinner opening at 6:35 PM. This was the best decision that I could have made! We were the last table to be sat during the first dinner seating! Talk about good fortune!*Highly recommend getting in line at least 25 or 30 minutes before the opening time to ensure that you are sat during the first seating. The people waiting in line for the second seating, waited almost 2 hours. Everything we ate was absolutely exquisite! We started with Caprese, then I chose the seafood spaghetti, which was topped with muscles in a butter, garlic sauce.Hands-down top 10 meals of my life! It was extremely flavorful without being too rich or heavy! My husband shows the gnocchi Sorrento, which were equally as amazing! The best part about pure Italian food is that none of the marinara gave either of us heartburn! Plenty of times in the states, the tomato sauce has been processed so the heartburn can be intense, at least for us. We also chose the 1.25 L of wine... Which was only €12! We about fell over with the price! We finished with the lemon mousse and it was absolutely fantastic, topped with pure lemon zest. The service was impeccable and the views on the patio were so gorgeous! We will be returning on our next trip!

We are here in early October on our first night in Sorrento. Waited 2 hours in line for dinner as they do not take reservations. And it was worth it! Octopus salad is to die for! Also had a side salad, eggplant parm (best I've ever had) and spaghetti with cherry tomatoes. My husband ordered the spaghetti with clams. Everything is very fresh and the service is good. We liked it so much we went back for lunch yesterday (no line - walked right in). Only thing I'd suggest is to order the wine you want to drink. Their house wine is meh. Red tastes more like grape juice and the white is very bitey. And do get the tiramisu. It's creamy and not overly sweet.

Would definitely recommend getting here as early as you can as the line got astronomically longer as it got later. We got here around 6:30 and ended up waiting on line for about an hour before getting seated. The wait wasn't all that bad because cheese and wine were being handed out to everyone waiting outside. The interior is very cool--cheese hanging from the ceiling! We started with the Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese. O M G. The best thing I had in all of italy. My mouth is watering just looking at the picture. And this is coming from someone who usually is not a fan of this dish. I can easily say eating it here changed my entire life. I then ordered the mussels, my brother ordered the pork chop, and my mom ordered the calamari. Everything was great! The pasta that came with the mussels was fantastic! Absolutely delicious (so good I wanted to buy some just to take home). Very friendly staff!

If you're looking to feel like you're being invited into a friend's house, this is the place for you! The servers are friendly and make you feel like you're at home. The food is delicious, but more of a home-style preparation. Get there at least 30min before opening and you'll find yourself already in a line, as they don't accept reservations and people return for the warm atmosphere and delicious food. We returned the next day because we had such a great experience the day before! While we were waiting in line (before they opened), the couple in front of us were telling us they had already been and were going again because it was good! The first time we came was for dinner, and I'd say the service is a bit better than at lunch. We didn't get menus and had to flag down a waiter multiple times during lunch service our second visit. Everything we had was delicious, but I'd say the grilled seafood dishes were only mediocre (not bad, just not great). The pastas were the highlight for us both visits! Definitely go at least once and go early, or be prepared to wait a while

On our first night arriving in Sorrento on 9/18/24, me and my mom went straight to this restaurant for dinner. It is about 15mins walking distance between my hotel and this restaurant, walking is pretty easy. Well if you live in NYC, you can practically walk anywhere right, Aha! Definitely worth the hype. This place was featured in so many tik tok clips by influencer and youtubers, definifely worth the wait. Out of a bunch of restaurants, this is really one of the legit ones. Their polpettes are out of this world, I ordered it as a side dishes. I ordered the gnocchi for the sake of trying it since everyone said Sorrento is famous for their gnocchi, meanwhile mom ordered Spaghetti alle Vongole. Gnocchi was meh, it's like eating a plain pasta with vodka sauce, nothing special, I wouldnt ordered it again but good to know what it tasted like. Polpette is the rising star here, taste is juicy and soft, tomatoes sauce is just right, not too sweet or salty, Im salivating talking about it. Vongole is also really good, mom said it aint anything like the ones we had in NYC. Overall spectacular dishes, service is also friendly and waiter/waitresses are kind. On our first night here, they didnt really offer us lemoncello, we came back 2nd time and was offered limoncello. Please do visit this place and give it a try, their food is legit decent and fresh, expected waiting time about an hour. I would suggest to be there before 6:30pm, at least you will be the first batch of group that will be let in to dine there. Happy go lucky, folks!!

Expect a wait but well worth it and not expensive! The food is flavorful and plentiful. Be aware that even their ham/cheese lates are huge!

Cindy R.

All the stories are true, in order to catch the first seating. you must get there way before opening time. We arrived about 5 or 10 minutes before opening and did not make the first seating. We were finally seated over an hour later. We had a party of three which is a challenge because most of their tables are for parties of two. Several parties of two went in ahead of us. The food was very good however. We ordered the stuffed zucchini flowers, and they were nicely battered and not heavily fried at all. The pork was tender and flavorful, the pasta also very bright and flavor and tasty. The tough thing about a restaurant this popular is you don't really get the kind of personalized attention that makes a dining experience, special. It is understandable they are trying to accommodate as many customers as they can in a timely manner. Even if you are waiting in line, they come around with wine and cheese, so that is definitely a plus!

Get here when it opens, came at 830 on a Sunday night and sat at 10pm (they close at 1030) don't worry you will just be the last seating. The line is long, but they do offer free wine while you wait. The food was delicious, and their house wine is awesome. Honestly all the house wines in sorrento is significantly better than most wines back home. The person in charge of the deli counter is the house DJ while slinging plates of Italian ham and cheese. The prices are very reasonable. Ok so we ordered a plate of ham which was literally a plate full of ham. It was really good when you add some olive oil and put it on bread. Wifey got the grilled seabream and side of grilled veggies, while I continued my pasta journey with a clam and mussels pasta. Oh my lanta, the seafood pasta was delicious. Usually it's butter but I think they used seafood stock to make the sauce which gave it a very bright and interesting flavor. I don't think I'll ever taste a dish like that in a very long time (hopefully when I return to sorrento someday!). Wifey seabream was good but had some bones and was a little over cooked. The grilled veggies were good but cold, not sure if this is an Italy thing but nonetheless was good. It was a little far from our hotel but worth the walk.

The best ravioli I have ever had in my entire life! And the lasagna! Absolutely incredible. You have to get here early because a line forms down the street and around the block. We stood beside a couple from the UK who heard about this restaurant on tiktok so I guess if you're on there you could look it up. This was our favorite meal in Sorrento by far. We ordered lasagna, spaghetti with mussels and home made ravioli that was actually to die for. I have never tasted anything as creamy and salty and delicious as that ravioli. I recommend ordering the house wine first of all, because it's good and second of all, because they serve it to you in a pitcher and third of all, it's cheap! Highly recommend. No reservations so you have to wait in line but it is WORTH IT.

Amazing ambience here. Very busy but all the staff is enthusiastic and super nice. They speak English, Spanish, French, Italian. Food is delicious here. The beef oh my God.........some of the best meat ever had

A fantastic local gem! Arriving right at the opening proved advantageous, considering the usual long lines reported in other reviews. Fortunately, we were the first customers, though the place quickly filled up. Our order included Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, eggplant Parmesan, and a mixed grill (chicken, sausage, steak). The gnocchi stood out with its perfection, featuring simple yet flavorful ingredients. The eggplant Parmesan was truly flavorful and didn't even taste like eggplant! The mixed grill, while generally good, had a slightly surprising sweet note in the sausage. Nonetheless, the chicken was juicy, and the steak, though cooked medium instead of medium rare as requested, was enjoyable. The service was exceptional, contributing to the overall great atmosphere of this local hotspot. Despite having no room for dessert this time, we plan to return and indulge in their sweet offerings.

This was our first meal in Sorrento and was by far the BEST one we had! Fortunately we were there for a full week so got to go back one more time before we left at the end of our stay and it was still the most amazing spaghetti and meatballs we've ever had. Staff were so friendly and great ambiance, we saw many locals eating here too. Totally worth the wait! We went for lunch each time and didn't wait longer than 15 minutes.

The food was great. The penne Siciliana was delicious!!! Also try the cheesecake! That was the best part.

We stumbled across this gem by accident and it's awesome. Great vibe and great food. Service was solid and super friendly. Desserts were delicious. Be prepared to wait outside in line. Grab a drink from next door - this place is worth the wait!

First, plan to wait in line unless you come late before closing. Worth the wait!! My seafood ravioli was probably the best Italian dish I've had in Italy! I then had the largest grilled calamari squid I've ever seen. It filled plate! My wife has spaghetti with tomatoes and pork ala Sorrento with melted mozzarella. If I ever return to Sorrento, we be back!

Delia B.

Yelp
The food was amazing!!!! Worth waiting on line for two hours. We had a bottle of wine, burrata as appetizer, gnocchi sorrentina and gnocchi gorgonzola, plus a tiramisu for dessert, everything was excellent. Don't miss it if you come to Sorrento.

It was great! The best meal we had in Sorrento. There was a line, so get there around 6:00PM or expect at least an hour wait.

Martin M.

This place is really amazing....get there at least 1/2 hour before they open though or youll be in line for the second seating......everything freshly prepped and made locally ....so delicious we went 2 nights in row!! Our server was the best.....full of tips and suggestions....

Fantastic family restaurant! We came here right around 6:40 and there was already a line of 20 people deep. They started seating people before 7 and eat inside or you can! Ham hanging around the ceiling. We watched our cook making steak! 10/10 a fantastic experience!

There is a reason there is a very long line of 30-40 people every night from a half hour before they open - the food is that good! The concierge at my hotel recommended it and since it's just a block away, I decided to give it a try. After a long 36 hours of travel that Included many flight cancellations and delays, walking a block for dinner was about all I could do. Unfortunate they are closed Mondays so had to come back the next night. The line was long and I decided to go out for wine and come back an hour before closing, around 9:30 pm. Since I was on my own, I had the luxury of needing just a small table and not having to eat at a traditional time. The strategy paid off and with just a short wait and a glass of wine from the host, the wait felt more like a pre dinner Happy Hour. The food was delicious as I have found all the food in Sorrento to be. The fresh pasta and meatballs, while it sounds so basic, was perfection. Rarely do I order this dinner out because I make it so often - with my Italian grandmothers recipe - and in the States, mine is always better. Not here! Italians use few but quality ingredients which allow them to shine and shine they did! Dinner was sublime! Went back a 2nd time and had the fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzerella. So filling. For dinner i had,the Aum Aum pasta, a rigatoni with tomato, basil, eggplant and mozzarella sauce. The sauce is magical! They just don't make it like this anywhere else. The tomatoes are so sweet and they definitely add butter to addcsome richness. If you are there with a companion or group, get the antipasta with freshly sliced prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, huge castelvatrano olives, butter beans and greens. I was envious of those around me enjoying this. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside; the food could be served at a fancy establishment just as easily. However I prefer it this way, casual and comfortable with no pretentiousness, as if you are sharing a meal at a friend's or Nona's home. The wait staff is so friendly, smiling and cheerful. They bring fresh bread in a bag to go wth each meal. After dinner they offer complimentary limoncello and it's strong! Friends are arriving tomorrow and there will be quite a few of us but I'm hoping we can all get in so they can experience this restaurant. I know they will love it! Located on a side street off Corsica Italia, stroll on down, you won't be disappointed.

So this place has been very hyped up and mostly for the right reasons. Food is authentic and traditional and doesn't price gouge like a lot of tourist spots around amalfi. Service is attentive and despite the long wait for the table (came at 630 and seated at opening 7pm) , many wait a lot longer if they miss yet first dinner seating . On to the food. Our waitress was helpful to recommend a few specialty dishes. We got side of meatballs and fried mozzarella zucchini flowers, and burrata caprese salad. Got cherry tomatoes on side since we wanted more sweet tomato flavor. Bread is served immediately upon seating but I recommend waiting to eat it with your other food. I thought the freshly made pasta was good but not great. This was definitely more rustic quality and perhaps a bit thick and gnocchi were dense for me and I couldn't eat much after 2 raviolis staffed with cheese and the Gorgonzola sauce. I even said to the waitress that these are typically winter dishes but I wanted something different that your usual tomato sauce. Lasagna was big and also heavy on the dough . so much so that I broke up the layers to see heavy dough and almost no sauce. 2 healthy eaters couldn't finish all the pasta dishes. We tried hard!! Lastly we got the lemon sponge cake and chocolate coconut one. Both were great palate cleanser

We stood in line for about 90 minutes, luckily the bar next door had drinks for take away as they like to say so the wait went fine, we talked to a very nice lady and her mom from Texas in line that also help the wife's stay busy chatting, the food was delicious and the service was great, three of us ordered the homemade Ravioli which I can highly recommend, Caio.

Michelle B.

Fantastic food, very reasonable!! No reservations, we got in line an hour before it opened, and there was a line when we left - not to worry, the staff bring out wine and cheese for people in line. Highly recommend!

Three times the charm. After trying to eat there twice but not able to due to the long line, we finally able to eat there for lunch! What a delicious meal!! One thing we regret was that we didn't order any steaks there. Oh well, we will save it for next time!!

Yelp
The place is really good! You don't get over 200 good reviews for no reason! We went off season on a Friday night, so no line at 7pm, but it gets full after 8pm. Will definitely come back if in Sorrento next time!

One of the better spots that remains open during the offseason. I had a spaghetti dish with seafood that was fresh and delicious. Our waitress was friendly and cheerful while the inside of the restaurant felt homey. This was one of my favorite places in the few weeks I was in the area.

Joe C.

Yelp
Great restaurant and staff. However after waiting in a very long line.... I'm afraid to say this place is severely over hyped. I bought into social media and it did its job. The restaurant itself is awesome and the staff are extremely friendly. However the food is average and I'm not too sure the kitchen is entirely sanitary. It's worth a try if you can get in without waiting in line. But I don't think it was worth waiting in that long of a line.

Kristina V.

Yelp
Great local spot that's very popular. The staff is super nice! The line gets very long so get there before opening if possible and you will be seated right away. Got the burrata ravioli and lasagna to share. Good wine selection too!

Delicious meal! There is a long wait but they give out free wine and cheese while you wait in line. Menu had a large variety of options, especially for those who don't like Seafood. One of my favorite meals in Sorrento!

Anita Y.

Yelp
We stayed in Sorrento for 5 nights and came to eat here 3 out of the 5 nights. Waited in line for about half an hour each time but it was always worth it. The staff are all friendly and seem like a family. They serve everyone limoncello to help with digestion after your meal, joke with you, and even entertained my silly request to play Barbie Girl on our last night as we'd heard it on our way out the previous nights. By the end, it felt like eating with family! Food here is like Italian comfort food. They have plenty of options and never disappoint!

Best meal we had in Italy. I'll remember this for the rest of my life. It was a 90 minute wait but so worth it.

Great place! Went twice while I was there! Fresh & worth the wait! We found it while we were walking around town. If you the chance, definitely go visit!

I'm a tuff one to please but this hit on allllllllll aspects. First while your waiting to be seated they have the most amazing red wine an cheese to smooth out the wait time. I don't drink wine but this night I did. A-maxing. Now the food. Usually the apps are better then the mains or vice versa. But this was like if I was to be executed an if I can have a perfect dinner before I get fried. Me an my wife had two apps smoke cheese with cherry tomatoes/ Calamari (Omg)/ grilled Italian sausage. For dinner lasagna and my wife had stuff ravioli with buratta and Gorgonzola cheese (like cream sauce). Ambiance real Italian vibes. Plus the cool 300 pound food bouncer in the front. Mic drop Slap your mama "YO WHO MADE THIS" lol Prices were perfect for the quality of food

We had just had a long day of travel starting early in the morning, checked into our airbnb down the street and were pleasantly surprised by the short walk to this place for a late lunch. There was no wait since we were eating at an awkward time. I walked by this place everytime we left our aibnb and if it was a meal time, there was a line down the block. We sat outside on their covered patio and had a great corner table away from the road, but still able to people watch. The kids got the gnocchi and spaghetti and loved every but. Both dishes reheated well as they were large portions and the kids did not finish it. I also loved that the dishes came in pans that they were presumably made in. I got the meat and cheese plate for my meal and to share. I had wanted the 4 person portion, but our server rightfully suggested the 2 per son portion, which was more than enough for me to have as a meal and the rest of my family to snack on. The bread came in a paper bag on the table and was good as well. Highly recommend, especially if there is no wait!

Frankie's D.

A very popular restaurant located on a side street near the police station. Food is very good and no attitude when our party only spoke English. The spaghetti with clams and grilled calamari are delicious!! The complimentary end of meal lemoncello shots was very thoughtful. Long wait but pasta is very good!

Rebecca C.

Yelp
The best pasta I ever had!!!! I am pasta lover from Los Angeles. I never had anything like this. I ordered pasta with shrimp (it's not in the menu and but I asked for it anyways... so worth the trying!) and it was the boom!!!! Shrimp was so fresh and pasta cooked perfectly. My husband ordered spaghetti with meatballs and it was so delicious and flavorful. We ordered house red wine (6 euros for 500ml to share... can't beat the price and it was delicious!) and amalfi salad. Grilled veggies with salad was just perfect starter. They usually open at 7 but line starts even before 6. We didn't know what time they open so we went to around 6pm. We were the 2nd person in the line and by the time they open the door at 6:30, line was already all the way down to the alley (police station is right next to the restaurant so they had to let people earlier than opening time due to long line...) I recommend to get in there early as possible. Bottom line, worth the waiting if you want affordable Italian home cook it tastes soooo dang good. Highly highly recommend!

Amazing food and service. The experience is everything you imagine an authentic Italian restaurant will be when you visit Italy. The waiter was funny, charming, and helpful and the food was some of the best we've ever had.

Jeff M.

Yelp
I went specifically to try their Penne in Gorgonzola sauce. Even though it wasn't listed on the menu our waiter told us that they would be happy to make it for me. Oh my God! It was so good, you must try it. Go early because they always have a line, but trust me it's well worth the wait. Enjoy!

Rob D.

This is a gem! The quality of Italian restaurants in high tourist areas has decreased dramatically--not here. If you have one meal in Sorrento, it's here. The line is worth it.

The spaghetti with cherry tomatoes was outstanding. The service was the best we had during our tour in Italy.

You will have to wait to get a table, there is no way around that but it's worth your time and patience! Service with a smile, food simply amazing.

We waited in line for a bit but it was worth it. They gave you cups of wine and pieces of cheese while you stood there. Opens at 7 The vibe of this place was awesome. Crazy busy but the waitstaff worked well together to make everyone happy. The ravioli is off the hook. I had the seafood ravioli and my husband had the pomodoro one. The wine the food the lemoncello and dessert made for a perfect night. Prices are so reasonable too.

If I could, id give this place 20 stars. Food is unlike anything I've ever had. The wait staff is awesome, and the owner made our trip to ITALY. He gifted us wine, watched us enjoy our meals.... We came back the following night. Get in line early! It'l wtrap around the building. When you sit down... You will know why.

The food was delicious, we came back twice and we're a group of 6 which is hard to please but everyone loved it! The service and environment is amazing. The waiters were personal and joked. They provide complementary lemoncello at the end of your meal, and serve wine and cheese for those waiting in line outside.

What a wonderful experience, even though we had to wait over an hour to get in. The wait was pleasant and they served wine and cheese as we waited (the house wine was excellent). When we did get in we were immediately seated, they cleared tables quickly to move folks in. Outdoor seating on a pleasant evening made dor a nice experience. The food was outstanding- we shared a grilled calamari that was exceptional as appetizer and we also had two fried zucchini pieces that were very good. My wife had a ravioli dish with a very healthy serving of clams and seafood. I had a wonderful Lasagna (one of the best I've ever had) with a side of tasty meatballs in an amazing sauce. We had a Lemon Delight dessert with complimentary Limoncellos to cap off a wonderful meal. Service was prompt and attentive despite how busy they were. In short, amazing food that was absolutely worth the wait. We'll go back there before our trip ends!
