It’s such great classic Italian food. Be sure to order the meatballs and ask for extra bread to dip in the marinara. They were both made with love, and you can absolutely taste it. We made sure to get a pepperoni and sausage to go. That was the best cold breakfast I’ve had in ages. Your pizza held up to the test. Thanks for being amazing!

I’ve dined at WG several times. After my experience last night, I will never go back. First, we were seated 25 minutes after our reservation time. Despite rushing home from the city to make our reservation, we were willing to let that slide. Second, when our server “greeted” us she was just rude…as if she was irritated that she had to wait on us. Her affect and attitude created a tense environment. Third, our food (pasta and pizza) took 40 minutes to come out. And to make it worse, my food wasn’t even close to being hot. When I asked our server to please heat it a little more, instead of apologizing and taking it back to heat, she said “well it just came out of the oven I don’t know why you think it isn’t hot enough.” Seriously! Then…when it came back I took one bite and there were several hairs inside of the ravioli. When I called the server over again, she (clearly agitated) said, ” they are so careful in the kitchen I’m not sure how that happened.” Clearly Not!!! We asked for our check to leave since none of us really had an appetite anymore. My daughter brought home leftovers and decided to have it for lunch today. She bit into her ravioli to find a huge egg shell. The size of a quarter. It was so gross.

Amazing Italian food in a hole in the wall in highwood! I am so glad I found this place. I took my family and they all had a wonderful time. The previous table did take a while so it wasn’t right on time but the manager apologized and gave us free drinks to make up for the wait. Amazing manager by the way, he definitely knows how to run a restaurant. The ambiance was the typical Italian joint, but it was exactly what we needed and used the space effectively. The food was delightful and the portions were generous (perfect for having leftovers). Prices were on par with anywhere else. I will definitely be going back!

Nice neighborhood place with good pizza and great drinks. They need to stock Lozardo cherries for Manhattans, though! And they put chives in their blue cheese dressing, which I hate and have never had another restaurant do before. No onions, including chives, belong in blue cheese dressing!

Good fresh ingredients. Some of the sauces are a little bit too sweet for me. The pasta in the ravioli are not as light as they once were. Friendly people.

Excellent everything! They have taken osso bucco off the menu so Google menu needs an update, but the linguini and clams were beyond delicious!
