If you’re looking to have Italian while at kalamazoo then come over to this place. Nice relaxing atmosphere, food is very nice too and servers are good.
Appetizers were so good that we have to bag our entres but we are sure to finish them at home

FYI- no kids menu. 0 stars for service. Atmosphere was 5 stars, food we don’t know. We walked. Appetizer was good.
Service was abysmal. There were three servers. The two that were not ours seemed to be great and on top of their tables. Ours, was awful. The hostess had to come over to get drinks because our waitress was no where to be found. That was about 15 minutes in to being seated. Another 15 minutes goes by and our waitress appears to take appetizer order. She doesn’t come back until dropping the appetizer off. At this point we had been there for 50 minutes. She takes our order and never comes back. Waters are empty. Another 20 minutes and I finally got my salad and they took the appetizer plate. We left at the 1.5 hour mark. We watched a table come in, eat, and leave all in less than an hour. And another table come in, eat, and paying their bill by the time we walked out. Kudos to the male waiter that helped us and waived our bill, but the blonde lady is the reason we will never ever go back to this place. It’s sad really because there are not a lot of good Italian places around here.

Just had date night and could not be happier! The warm lighting, the light jazz, and the old style bar mixed with views of downtown creates the right environment for dreamy date. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing! Good red sauce and bread. The pasta was amazing! Would definitely recommend.

We ordered Comensoli’s through Doordash tonight, and had a huge hiccup and didn’t receive our order because of Doordash. Comensoli’s went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure we had a great night with the correct order, even trying to make up for Doordash’s mistake.
From the moment I walked into the restaurant to pickup my order, the service, atmosphere, and food was EXCEPTIONAL! We will definitely make sure to make this a place we go out of our way for!!!
Thank you very much for taking a mistake (not on your part, and making it a positive experience)!

Giving them a 2 star because when I went there last year for my girlfriend’s birthday we had a very great experience, service was good, food was good, wine was good. We had a great time and everything went smoothly. This year however, my girlfriend’s mom made a reservation for us for her birthday, got the confirmation. Yet, when we showed up, they were closed on a Tuesday. No notification about them not being open or that they were closed that day. I called and got no response, left a voicemail and never got a call back in response, nothing. It sucks because she really likes this spot but that left a bad impression and makes us not want to go back.

Date night last weekend both of our first time there, so glad I recommended it to my Italian boyfriend we were both impressed!! He had some kind of seafood pasta, I had two chicken breasts beautifully cooked over pasta with lemon caper cream sauce it was amazing. We also shared gnocchi with vodka sauce. The antipasto salad was delicious we substituted with Cesar dressing. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a nice small quiet romantic setting. We were there on a Sunday evening we were the last ones there which made it more of a romantic vibe like we have the whole restaurant to ourselves.

This place is a gem! I’ve been here three times in the last couple of months with friends and family and all three were spectacular! Every single person thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Some of my personal favorites are the Frutti Di Mare, the salmon and the crab encrusted snapper! I had bolognese as a special once it was killer! I wish it was on the menu! I still think about it!

Took my wife here for our first time on date night Friday and what a gem!!!! Everything about this place is exquisite. The food is the best Italian in Kalamazoo and the drinks are top notch as well! Our waitress Alexandra K was super friendly and she recommended the pineapple upside down cake martini which was amazing! I had the special, blackened shrimp risotto and it was the best tasting risotto around and the dish was perfectly spiced! We tried the Brussels sprouts as well and they tasted just as good as they looked! The bruschetta was the best around also. Everything we had was well priced and worth every penny spent! We’ll definitely be back for another date night!

Had seafood pasta and veg pizza with a glass of wine and a Peroni. Food was delish and our waitress was on the ball.

Bland, underseasoned, and uninspired. My frutti de mare was served with 4 mussels unopened, the tails left on my shrimp, and only a couple bay scallops. The sauce was watery and thin. It was flavourless. My dessert bars? Trader Joe’s has better. Most disappointing birthday dinner of my 63 years!
