Food was absolutely incredible. Service was amazing huge thanks to Danny! We came in for Mother’s Day, and they made my mom feel so special. After asking what kind of music she liked, they played her favorites during our meal. The owner also came by to chat, shared his story, and made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back. Some of the best food I’ve ever had!

Such a weird restaurant. Think maybe they weren’t ready to be open to the public. There was a dessert cooler but nothing was in it. One cook and one server, who was also the host. Was just me and my wife. Food took about the right amount of time, but the food wasn’t amazing. It was just so, so. Tasted like jarred tomato sauce.

Delicious Italian food from a local business. Our waiter Daniel was very attentive and answered all the questions we had on the menu. I had the chicken parmigiana which was phenomenal and the pasta was just right. For desert we had the tiramisu which is delicious and a cappuccino. Highly recommend this local Italian spot, also our waiter told us about the exciting nightlife offerings there from electronic dance music to live rock music, jazz, and more.

What a unique and special venue for entertainment. I have been here for electronic dance music events (drum and bass, house). I will be back to check out more variety of music entertainment that they have scheduled in the future. I have not yet been there during normal business hours when the kitchen is open- so I can’t give any stars for food. However, Denny is always serving cold drinks (beer, wine, sangria) with a smile throughout the night.

Love the Food and Live Entertainment at this hidden gem of a spot right near siesta key beach. We had the spaghetti and meatballs while listening to fantastic jazz music. Would highly recommend to checkout all the music options they have because our waiter daniel also told us about DJ Dance Parties on select evenings, we will bring our friends.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! It’s a very cozy and modern place-beautiful designed, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The quality of the food was outstanding:fresh,well-balanced flavors, and beautiful preserved dishes .
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place that combines style, comfort, and top-notch food and service!

So very very strange place we had a large party, but oddly no other patrons. Food was atrocious, and definitely not Italian, also for some reason a DJ started at about 10pm we didn’t have our food yet and it was turning into a night club as we waited. Now while we made the best of it, it seemed okay fine large party late service let’s roll with it, but then all tickets wrong machine broke had to redo tickets it was hot mess! Also people blatantly smoking pot in parking lot. Soooo….. not sure if this restaurant is a front . Also one server one cook very very very odd don’t recommend.
