Living In suburban NYC most of my life and working in NYC for 40+ years I know good American-version Italian food. This is really really authentic, large portions, with wonderful attentive service. Glad we only live 7 minutes away. We will be back often.

Good food and service. The ambience is nice but the noise level is too high for the demographics of SRQ and LWR.

The noise level was painful. As such, it was impossible to have a conversation or to enjoy the meal. I wont be back even though the lasagna was delicious and the wine list was very nice.

Tempura Zucchini was mushy and limp. Sent it back. Calamari was good but was brought to the table after main courses. Portion control on pasta bolognese was weak. Been there a dozen times and this was sub par
