Had a very early dinner and sat down immediately. Service was amazingly fast and friendly. I wanted to enjoy the wine list but was alone, definitely want to come back with friends to experience a more authentic experience. Sauce was made fresh as was the bread. I think a group of more than 4 would be best here. Excellent cannoli as well here.

The food was delicious, it was Romantic Dinner Sunday when we went which had a special for appetizer, 2 glasses of wine and two entrees. We werent in the mood for wine so we ordered an appetizer and two pastas. You also get bread and butter for the table.
The live music from Clay Benjamin was amazing ! Will definitely be back while we are in town .

I eat lunch here quite often. Service is always quick and friendly. The food is always fresh and yummy. My favorite thing on the menu is their panini selection as they are big enough and loaded enough to always make two meals for me Love their house salad and house dressing !

I did pick up so I can’t comment on the service or atmosphere as I had less than a minute interaction with the server. My Ravioli was hot and delicious with a generous cheese pull!

such an unexpected little place! just happened to google pasta and this place popped up. we placed a to-go order as we just wanted grab and go. we placed our order and told 20 mins, but we got there sooner. i was surprised when i walked in to see such a cute place that looked like it was new. there was a cute little case with some items for purchase at the hostess stand which was a nice touch. we ordered the chicken cacciatore and the ciao salad with chicken added. when we got back to our place i was extremely happy with my sight! 2 nice and juicy slightly breaded chicken breasts for my salad, extra dressing, a nice soft warm bread with a great salted butter and the chicken cacciatore. the cacciatore was so good! very flavorful and extremely filling. the salad was incredible alone and once i added the chicken it made it so filling i couldn’t finish it. the chicken was so good i could have just eaten it by itself!!! they made sure to provide all the items we needed (parm, napkins, cutlery, ect) and were quicker than the 20 mins promised (maybe just because we were there they gave an extra push?) they do have desserts; all italian based and sounded amazing themselves. there is a room that closes off that seems like it could host private parties. while waiting i overheard another ask for pizza by the slice, which it seems they do that if available. there is outdoor seating, but it just overlooks the parking lot which is fine in the cooler months, but i wouldn’t sit there during summer. i highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back for the pizza and cannoli. they as well have a full bar.

Hidden Gem! This is the most authentic Italian food I’ve had in Florida! The ingredients the chef uses here are top notch. I even heard they import a lot of their ingredients. Everything I’ve had tasted amazing. Makes me wish I visited Jacksonville more often. Do yourself a favor and try this place. Thank me later!

I was in Jacksonville FL today and as you all know if there is a good pizza to try I’ll be there. I found this little gem while I was looking for some place to eat and OMG I was have to tell you I was impressed. When I walked in the owner Tony was right there and greeted me in. I had place the order to go but regretted it immediately. The inside of this place was beutiful. I could see bringing my significant other here for quiet candlelight dinner. Then I got my order and it was awesome looking. The pizza looked like a real NY style pizza and as you all know I am from NY so I do know pizza. The cheese was just calling my name and as always I can’t resist the sirens song so I grab a bit right out of the center and thought I had gone to heaven. The cheese blend was so perfect and the sauce specular. Of course I burnt the inside of my mouth but that is a pizza lovers danger. I had got a pepperoni with 1/2 sausage and they were both delicious. The pepperoni was the little cup style and had just the right amount of oil. And the sausage was right behind it. I got my order to the hotel fast, could have been going a bit to fast but I wanted to dig in and it was worth getting a ticket, but I didnt. I finally got to the wings and they were a perfect Buffallo style wing. I mean they were big, perfectly cooked and the sauce was spot in. I am so sorry but I was so taken forgot to take pictures. But I promise I’ll add photos next month when I am here because this is my goto for pizza in Jacksonville from now on. So if you in town stop in and say hi to Tony, its worth driving to. He is a fantastic spirit and true gentleman. I could see having a beer or two with him and just chatting. He seemed like a man of the world. I could go on all day but I won’t.
Hi Tony from your life long customer and friend Shawn.

My wife and I visited this newly opened Italian restaurant for lunch. I ordered the Cheesesteak and 6-piece wings. The sub was perfectly toasted and generously filled with meat. I asked for the wings to be crispy and they came out just right—nice and crispy with great-sized portions. My wife had the Chicken Piccata and we shared everything to sample them all. Everything was delicious and the service was fantastic. Highly recommended!
