    One of the best Italian restaurants my husband and I have eaten at in a long time. The food was incredible and the cost was very reasonable for the portions and what you’re getting. They had several specials with items that were overnighted from various parts of Italy such as white truffle and buffalo mozzarella. We will be back! If you are in Paso this is a must try!

    One of our go to favorites in Paso! Great atmosphere, amazing food and overall nice experience. When the Sea Bass is available you have to do it. Service is always on point. Paso locals have been running this place for 20+ years and we love to support it.
