    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!

    We had a great experience overall and are looking forward to visiting again soon. Veal meatballs delivered a flavor explosion in the mouth. The Greek salad was authentic and fresh. We ordered the Seafood special and Crab Crusted Sea Bass. Of the two, the Sea Bass won!
