First time patron. Prompt service initially but waned through the meal.Good food -we had veal piccata and seafood in cognac sauce served with mushroom risotto. Wish there were more pasta options other than just spaghetti or fettuccine, though. Will definitely return to explore other menu items..

Veal Piccata
My wife and I met with friends at this location. First of all, the food was great. Both appetizers were wonderful however the Wagyu Meatballs were just out of this world! The meat was cooked perfectly, the sauce was amazing. I ordered the special which was Sword Fish, I was not impressed by the flavor as I have had much better Sword Fish before. My wife ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was wonderful, very tasty.
Our friends meal were delicious as well according to them.
We also had a bottle of red wine, Cavaliers D’Oro Chianti which was delicious.
The ambiance was good, a little loud still even though I read that they have done something to minimize the sound at the restaurant.
Our server Rosemary was great and very friendly. You could tell that she was a bit overwhelmed however this did not affect how efficient she was. So kudos to her!!!
Overall the experience was great, good food and service. We will definitely be returning to this location to try other dishes.

From start to finish this place performed as expected. We came on a busy Friday night and asked the hostess if there's any chance in us getting a spot and she said close to an hour away. But we decided to wait since we have been wanting to go here for a long time. We walked around downtown waiting in roughly 15 minutes after placing our reservation, and the hostess called and said we had a table ready!
We sat outside of the courtyard which is very beautiful and romantic. From the drinks, appetizers, and main course everything was firing on all cylinders. The only thing that missed was my wife's steak. It was overcooked when it first came out, and with a brief talk with the manager, she encouraged us to send it back for a new one. When the new one came out it was blue rare. Note taken, don't order steak from an Italian restaurant
I had to veal in a white cream sauce and it was the best veal I have ever eaten.
The wagyu meatballs were the best meatballs I have ever had and will return just to have those again!!!
The service was excellent and the atmosphere was top notch.

February 2024: This time when we came into town we made reservations. Since they moved locations they had way more space than last year so I don’t think we actually needed to make reservations but that’s okay because it was still delicious.
We loved the Alfredo with rigatoni last time so we got an order of that plus gnocchi with Alfredo. The kids loved the bread (minus the pesto butter than my younger dubbed “cabbage butter”) and pasta… we all loved the pasta. I would have been okay with more noodles since the gnocchi was good but really thick and filling so next year we will probably just get two orders of the Alfredo and rigatoni noodles.
The server Miss Danny (Danielle) was great. She brought us everything we needed and was super nice.
We are already looking forward to coming back when we visit for Dance Revolution next year.
January 2023:
We stopped by during Dance Revolution at the Benton Convention Center. My girls love Italian food and pasta so we ordered fettuccine Alfredo with rigatoni noodles instead of fettuccine. We did have to order to go since there was no seating until later that night closer to 7:30 (it was 6-6:15 when we arrived and the convention we were going to started at 7 so we couldn’t stay that late. We ended up being able to sit by the window and eat there. Those seats also get reserved as well so we were lucky no one was there.
If we go back I would make reservations since this is the closest Italian food downtown near the convention center. The noodles were good. The sauce was a little more buttery and less cheesy than I was used to but still tasty. We ordered to go and got bread and butter in our bag so that was nice. Overall good, I would go back again but make sure to make reservations. We were from out of town so I didn’t know what was available until we got there and I wasn’t prepared.

Fettuccine Alfredo
Such a delightful place. The food is amazing and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. I’ve been a few times and even just drinking wine at the bar is an experience: I thoroughly enjoy every part of eating here. Alex the bartender is top notch and I believe her name was Tish or Trish checked on us several times to make sure we were good. A++ experience

The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Very clean. Only issues were the music was so loud we had to yell at each other and the restrooms were down a big flight of stairs. Could be dangerous if you've been drinking. And the floor leading to the restroom doors is a bit slick. Careful if you're in heels.

Lasagne
Phenomenal, all the way across the board. The waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere was totally chill... AND THE FOOD! Beyond expectations.
I got the Tortellini, and my boyfriend got the Prosciutto with a mouth-watering sauce leaning toward the (ever so slightly) sweeter side. Both dishes were divine. Seriously, God-tier goodness.

Everything was superb. The new location is fabulous. Lots of room and an attractive and pleasant atmosphere. I had fettuccine Alfredo that arrived hot and creamy, my wife and one friend had veal cognac, which they both said was wonderful, and our other friend had pasta pescadore, which he thought was superb. Our server, Kieran (sp?) was attentive and personable. We were visited by two managers who made sure everything was going as expected.
Our meal and experience could not have been better.

Finally a great Italian restaurant in this area! We moved here from NY about a year and a half ago and have been a search for good Italian food. Food, service and atmosphere were outstanding! And the prices were reasonable too! We will definitely be back!

My in-laws are staying with us and they are Italians. I thought it was a good idea to go there and make them taste a piece of home. Food in general was great, the only complaint was that the gnocchi were made with flour, not potatoes and was a expensive plate, other than than, great food. The only real complaint was all the noise, we were not able to talk with each other, you need to be yelling all the time, to heard the server was really hard, so we mostly ate in silence. Installing some sound proofing would be a great idea. Other than that, the place is beautiful.
Another suggestion is to have a bench for people who's waiting for the valet service, my mother in law has to use crutches and is hard for her to be on her feet, and we had to wait standing there for 15 minutes.
