This restaurant came highly recommended by our front desk clerk at our hotel. The restaurant is supported by a family farm with fresh vegetables. Their food by far is some of the best I’ve ever tasted…the caprese salad with the fresh tomatoes and the meatballs in the spaghetti… Did I mention that the Marinara is fresh and beautifully paired with any pasta which is also fresh and made in house: Cheese Ravioli … The Tiramisu created also in house and it is Divine….

We decided to give this place a try after looking for something different on here. Finding parking was a bit of a pain, but a little walk never hurts. The location was a little unusual, but we were welcomed upon arrival.
I ordered the Lasagna and my wife ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. The lentil soup was amazing. I think I could have made a meal out of it alone considering the wonderful homemade bread that came with it.
The entree arrived fairly quick. You can tell everything was homemade with fresh (or as fresh as possible) ingredients. We finished off the meal by sharing a canoli.
All in all everything was good, if a little expensive. We will probably be back to try some of their other specialtiesin the future.

The soup was amazing as was the bread basket at the beginning. Our table got cheese ravioli, meat ravioli and spaghetti with meatballs. The food is first rate! I found the service to be fairly typical of the service you get in Crawfordsville. Nice place for a different kind of dinning experience in this small town. Only giving it 4 stars just based on prices.

Happy we decided to give this establishment a chance when we visited Crawfordsville.
While overpriced, the food quality and taste is great. I personally was a huge fan of the tomato soup that came with our meal. You could easily tell it was homemade and had great flavors for what some would consider a “basic” soup, and went wonderfully with the bread provided. I would easily order a bowl of it by itself, if it was offered on the menu.
Their alfredo sauce had great flavor, and so did the chicken. We topped the night off with tiramisu, which was everything we could have hoped for.
I had to give only 4 stars because we almost completely overlooked the restaurant, after reading some of the negative responses the owner has on some negative reviews. I don’t feel it’s right as an owner to lash out, even if you’re unhappy with others opinions. You’ll scare away potential customers before they even give your food a chance. Glad our experience went well though.
If you’re looking for a nice sit down date night or just a higher quality dinner and aren’t bothered by paying slightly more, definitely give this one a shot.

We found a hair in our food and when we told the server she picked it up off of the table and tried to gaslight us into thinking that wasn’t a hair. She then didn’t offer a discount or anything and started telling us what happens when other people find hairs. So apparently this is a common thing. It’s also super overpriced. They’re charging 17 dollars for a plate of buttered noodles with some cheese on it. I was one of two tables and it took me two hours at least to get my food. There was no ventilation in the building either so the entire building was filled with smoke from the kitchen. A third table came in while we were waiting for our food and the server practically yelled that she didn’t want to wait on a third table to the entire dining room. All of that aside the food isn’t bad. If you were going to do pickup I think you’d be fine.

My wife and I were recommended to stop in here because it was authentic Italian, farm to table. It was a Saturday night around 5:45 and the place was empty. We were not going to let that detour us. We sat down and the waiter was super sweet. The atmosphere was clean but not exactly what you would expect for an upscale Italian restaurant. The menu was professional and had some nice dishes. We went with the mushroom chicken fettuccine and the chicken parmesan with spaghetti and homemade sauce. They bring out bread to start and the oil was good but the bread was more of a crouton than a dipping bread. My wife and I brought our own wine since we were told they didn’t serve wine and we we allowed to bring it. That was fine but were told we’re going to pay $8 for bringing our own wine, although I’m not sure this is enforced since our waiter didn’t add it to our bill, but it was noted on the menu.
Again the waiter tried his very best and asked multiple times if we needed anything.
Now to the food:
For us to be recommend by another local business and it was farm to table it was less than ideal. The food lacked something, my wife would say “love”. It was very soggy and soupy I would say. It was bland and almost grey in color. Although the dishes did have fresh herbs on top to give the appearance of flavor.
Overall my wife and I were hungry and ate , tipped the waiter well because he was so nice and then left after paying the bill. Im not writing this review as an angry customer but more as a customer who has dined at farm to table Italian restaurants and this restaurant needed a few improvements. I would go back if food quality and presentation was a bit better. I’m writing this as more of constructive criticism more so than a bad review.
