Found this gem on Yelp and had to give it a try. We were very pleased. The atmosphere is old school Italian vibe and very cozy. The staff was amazing, our waitress was very attentive, never letting our drinks get empty and great food recommendations. 3 of us had the lasagna and 1 had the bolognese. The portion sizes were HUGE. I could not finish mine. The taste was excellent.
HIGHLY recommend this place if you are in the mood for Italian.

We dined here after long day. Made reservations via the web.
Location was good for us and parking was available.
The restaurant was nice but not up there. Of the 4 settings, one had dirty silverware and one was in rough shape although clean.
We all had the Salmon Chowder which was very good and hot as requested.
Our main dishes were:
Lasagna – Basic American stuffed with ricotta. Only warm in the center. Taste was good for what it was.
Trout with Parm Crust and linguini Alfredo side plus creamed spinach add on. – Trout was dry but the taste of all 3 dishes was good with the spinach being noted as the best of the lot.
Shrimp Alfredo w/penne. – No complaints with this dish.
Lobster Ravioli – The most enjoyed dish of the lot.
The service was erratic as we had three different servers during the course of our meal. Getting something simple like butter for the bread was an ordeal.
Overall our experience here was good.

A fun environment to have a conversation over a super tasty meal. A culinary study could be made on the menu offerings! You can tell some real Italian culinary influence here. I tried the chicken piccata and it was delicious. Highly recommended!

We ate here for my birthday celebration. Our server (I can’t remember her name) was amazing!! She refilled our bread numerous times, brought our orders in a timely manner and had a great personality. The drinks were so good and there was a nice selection (and they actually had a great amount of alcohol). The GM came around to fill our water checking on our satisfaction with our meals. Every one of our dishes was amazing and the portions were large. At the end, our server brought a large dish of spumoni with a candle. This made me feel so special. I will return to this restaurant!

I’ve been going to this restaurant for a long time, going back more than ten years, and everything about this place has always been great. But this last experience on 2/14/26, just didn’t live up to past “Fabulousness”. Perhaps they have new cooks, or new management or even new owners…. who knows, but it just wasn’t the same high-quality I expected. Something was different about the food, maybe it’s how it’s prepared or the use of lower quality ingredients. Something has gone down hill, especially their Spumoni dessert. What a let down! It was just run-of-the mill, store bought ice-cream, lacking pistachios or almonds, cherries, and other candied fruit that you expect from true Spumoni. I believe they used to make their own Spumoni. To top it off they give you two very small scoops and charge an arm-and-a-leg. Definitely not worth it! Worst of all, they got rid of their Cream Puff dessert with wonderful rich, silky vanilla cream custard inside. That’s a horrible shame. It would be better if they offered traditional Italian desserts, characterized by a focus on high-quality ingredients, often highlighting fruits, nuts, and creamy creations and pastries that are home-made. They need to get their act together and return to the way things used to be or they’ll be losing more customers who remember how excellent they used to be.

I had high hopes for this place based on the extensive menu and positive reviews. The house salad (side) was huge but was mostly iceberg lettuce with other veggies tossed on top. I had the fruitti de mare. The mussels were good, but the scallops and other seafood bits were so tiny and so few that they were hard to find amongst the huge serving of spaghetti. The sauce was okay but high in butter fat. These dishes were not worth the price. The 2 salads and 2 mostly spaghetti entrees came to $84. No alcohol. Just 2 teas.
Our server always seemed to be in a hurry to get away – speaking very fast with a strong accent.
I found myself wishing we had gone to that popular ABQ chain whose initials are FS. Their salads are excellent, and service is always good.

Amazing service and food. Best Alfredo I’ve tasted. Salmon chowder was great and lobster ravioli was scrumptious.

Came on a recommendation, and this place didn’t disappoint.Excellent food and service. Portions were big like I like. Chicken parm hit the spot and the spinage and artichoke app was very good. Had a great time here with my wife.

Our servers (X2) were very kind and attentive to our needs. They offered their help with the menu and described the dish and gave us possible suggestions according to what we wanted. The wait time wasn’t very long. Overall, our experience was excellent. It is a beautiful place to come to and enjoy Italian food. There are plenty of food and drinks options.
