I was originally headed to another restaurant but it was closing up and thank goodness it did because I wouldn’t have happened upon this amazing restaurant. This was my first time here and if I could rate it a 6 out of 5 I would! The main words here are FRESH and QUALITY. I started with the Fried Mozzarella sticks and you could tell they were not pulled from a box. I eat them every time I try an Italian restaurant because that’s a good indicator of how the food is going to be. They were lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. The marinara they come with had a pinkish hue, not the same deep red kind you get from SYSCO, so I knew it was homemade and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan, another basic staple to compare restaurants. Both had a great amount of cheese without swimming in oil. The chicken was lightly breaded and tender. Both used the same amazing marinara. When I was eating I felt like I was eating clean, meaning no extra additives to make it taste better, it already tasted fantastic. The entrees came with soup or salad, we got the tossed salad. These salads were GREEEEN…in December, I tried to find a brown or white piece but nope, all prime lettuce. The salad dressings tasted homemade as well. I really couldn’t eat it all but I HAD to have a piece of Tiramasu…no surprise it was soooo good! The ambiance, decor and level of cleanliness is right in line with the quality of the food. Now my server, Danielle, she was super attentive without being overbearing always anticipating my needs. When she brought my iced tea she brought a lemon and a spoon, it’s a little thing but you don’t know how often I go out and I get just the glass and have to wait until the meal comes before the server comes back so I can even ask for it. When I was leaving I asked for the manager and out from the kitchen comes one of the family of this family owned business. He said that they make sure the kitchen is putting out high quality food all the time because they stay in the kitchen, and it shows. The price point is very competitive and the quantities are huge. I’m so glad that other restaurant was shutting down for the day because I wouldn’t have discovered my FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Do yourself a favor and go here sooner rather than later!

I was headed towards Double Dave Pizza but found this place instead and I always try to support local. It is a really down-home feeling kind of place. The free garlic rolls are some of the best I’ve ever had. And another plus is they have free real butter to use! The cheese sticks were incredibly stretchy and the kids loved them. My side salad was really fresh but the creamy Italian was too sweet. My spaghetti and meatballs was average. The meatballs were tender but not a lot of flavor. The sauce was ok – I didn’t quite like the after taste (strong herbal smell).
I would definitely come back to try something different. The servers was so friendly and I loved the local vibe.

Dinner rolls supplied as starters were delicious, but don’t eat too much cause the main courses we had were huge and delicious.

Unexpectedly nice Italian food in a small town. We were returning from our camping trip and needed a good fix of pizza and pasta and the place did not disappoint. The best thing was the Minestrone. We also ordered the house special vodka ravioli and it was yum. Expected a bigger portion size for that price. The place had nice music and atmosphere.

I would rate this as our best restaurant in Town. We average at least 26 visit a year. Of all the places we frequent the value and quality can’t be beat. The Lobster Raviolis are great and they give you large portions when you Dine -In. We always seem to bring half home for later if we don’t order carry out.

Calamari is solid and some of the thickest squid I’ve had as calamari. Nicely done.
Garlic Bread Knots are really lacking any flavor. Nice soft and doughy, but need more seasoning and butter. Make them Crack like.
Lasagna is quite different than any lasagna I’ve ever had. Its very very thin in thickness and light sauce and seasoning. Its not bad but lacking flavor and depth to me. Lasagna out to be like Sunday dinner heavy.
Pizza… meh. Says NY style but having experienced NY pizza like John’s or Joe and Pats in NYC this pizza is more a Midwestern thicker crust. Sauce is decent. Sausage is not my style its the dog kibble type vs nice hand pulled house ground bulk sausage.

First time here on 6/12/25. We had lunch specials. My wife had the lasagna with salad and I opted for the spaghetti with meatballs along with the soup of the day. This restaurant is located just north of 21/71 in Bastrop, at Loop 150. Easy access and plenty of parking. Nice clean spacious dining area. Meals came with basket of bread. Very reasonable pricing and generous portions. We will definitely be back to sample some of their other dishes.

They start you out with soft buttered bread rolls. As an appetizer, we recommend the sausage plate. Slices of Italian sausage in a marinara sauce. Hint: Save your bread rolls to use with the sausage and sauce. Pretty good! Salads are very fresh with a variety of dressings. Large enough to be a meal in themselves. Pasta dishes are good. They only serve 10″ personal pizzas if you dine in. NY style with thinner crust and lots of cheese. If you order to go you can get larger sizes. The pizzas are average in seasoning and ingredients. Sorry but not really rememberable. Recommend the pasta dishes over pizza. Service is quick and friendly. Music is not too loud and sometimes it is Italian. Nicely decorated. Casual place. Overall nice place.

WOW seriously WOW!!! So the minestrone was on point very good.heavy tomato which I love!!! The chicken alfredo was perfect and the salad was nice. Mostly i was wanting the minestrone but got a surprise with the bread knots. I do wish the knots had a garlic butter or something to flavor them but they were still really delicious and SOFT!
Customer service on point, quick and lovely to talk to. She was super friendly and they had my food ready in about 15min!! So well worth it!
