My favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant. Always good food and friendly staff. I always start my meal with the Greek salad garlic bread and wine from a good selection. I often get a fish dish over risotto either salmon,halibut,or swordfish. There pastas are great as well. Love the bolognese sauce. Very similar to what I make at home. Finished with Italian cream cake or tiramisu. The live guitarist normally starts at 7:00. This restaurant never disappoints.

A Dallas Gem for Seven Years and Counting! I’ve been a loyal patron of this Italian staple in Dallas for seven years, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. With its perfect ambiance, fantastic live music, and authentic Italian flavors, this restaurant has become my go-to for memorable meals and special celebrations. Most recently, I celebrated my birthday here, and once again, they went above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience. From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, the staff never misses a beat, treating each guest like family. If you’re in Dallas and craving Italian, you can’t miss this gem!

We enjoyed our meal very much. I had the ravioli special with artichoke, spinach, and ricotta. Nice cozy atmosphere. Unpretentious with excellent service. Definitely will return!
