We came here for a girl’s night and I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant! I was kind of nervous based on a friend’s review and others on Google, but I have to say I was blown away. The service was superb and our drinks were promptly getting refilled. We all split the caprese salad and bruschetta to start which were all delicious. I was disappointed that no house bread was available. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, which comes with a side of pasta in Alfredo sauce. Others ordered the chicken parm and lasagna and had nothing but good things to say. The chicken Marsala was some of the best I have ever had. It was beyond flavorful and the chicken was very tender. It was served over a large broccoli stem which was also seasoned very well and cooked perfectly. I will have to visit again for sure!

We brought my mom here for her birthday. Service was so nice and polite. Interior is modern yet charming. Food portions were large and easy to share and everything tasted lovely and was presented beautifully. I wouldn’t necessarily say we were blown away by the flavors but overall the experience was really nice and I’d recommend this place to anyone. There was nothing to complain about at all.

The calamari was very interesting. I like how they added the breaded vegetables in. The breading itself had a nice flavor as well.

Caprese Salad had thick sturdy tomatoes today and flavorful balsamic. My husband and kids devoured the Caesar salad.

The tiramisu I think might be a little less sweet than what people might familiar with from another popular place, but I thought it was nicer. Also seemed more dense and moist but not soggy.

I had the Tuscan sausage entree. I appreciated the addition of some vegetables. There could be more. It was’t super spicy though. I think I would have liked the dish with more spice to it.

Husband approved of Chicken Parm and kids approved of Fettuccine Alfredo. Mom seemed to enjoy the Carbonara. Typically we would share entrees between one kid and one adult and there was plenty to do that. We opted for extra today so we could take home leftovers (and taste more things).

Food was tolerable, about the same as throwing in an oven meal from Publix. Desert was two bites. Adding photo. Service was horrible, waitress never asked how we were or food quality just dropped food off and ran. Drinks were pretty bad too. Place would be fine if the price aligned with quality, but your severely over paying for quality and service, and 2-3 times as much. Will not risk this place again. Would have taken more photos but by time desert hit table I knew this had to be documented. Avoid this place.

This place has quickly become a family favorite- we’re here at least once a week now! The food is consistently amazing, especially the chicken piccata, which is perfectly lemony and comforting every single time. And the bruschetta? Hands down the best I’ve ever had – fresh, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. Great food, great vibes, and a spot we’re always happy to come back to. Highly recommend!

Valentine’s Day was a complete disappointment and felt incredibly mismanaged from start to finish.

We arrived on time for our 7:30 reservation and were immediately told they were still trying to seat 7:00 reservations. The hostess was clearly overwhelmed, which should have been our first red flag. From there, the night only got worse. We spent two full hours in the restaurant…30 minutes before anyone acknowledged us at the table, another 30 minutes just to receive our appetizer, another 30 for mains and by the two-hour mark we gave up and asked for dessert to go.

The lack of communication was unacceptable. No updates, no apologies, and long stretches where our server was nowhere to be found. I’ve been a waitress and I know that is not right. To make matters worse, a table next to us left shortly after we were seated and was never bussed the entire time we were there. If the restaurant was struggling to seat guests, turning tables should have been a basic priority.

Despite the chaos, we were still charged full price for a preset Valentine’s menu with zero acknowledgment of the delays or the overall experience. Paying premium prices for this level of service is frustrating and unjustifiable.

If this restaurant cannot handle the volume and expectations that come with Valentine’s Day, they should seriously consider closing or drastically limiting reservations next year. At the very least, honest communication and basic service would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience ensured we won’t be returning.

We went for Father’s Day lunch, our 1st time there. It was a light crowd and we were seated right away. I was slightly disappointed that there wasn’t any complimentary bread, but no complaint, maybe a suggestion.

Our server was attendant and always refilling water, ect.

The food is good, not the best Italian I’ve ever had but far from bland as some on these reviews have said. It’s a nice good meal. Portion sizes are good. More than enough for our party and I don’t understand reviews that complained they didn’t get enough food.

The Mussels Romano appetizer were served in a tomato-based sauce, which was new to me and very tasty. When we requested extra bread for this it was not a problem and we were not charged. We also had the Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio appetizer. Most in my party thought it was good, but I personally thought it bland.

We tried several things on the menu. No complaints. The Chicken piccata, the Chicken parm, and Chicken Caprese were all very good and well portioned.

The atmosphere is nice. The place is an old mill and it has a rustic feel to it. I would like to try it in the evening when the lighting is more interesting.

To conclude, positives: nice place, good food, great and pleasant server. Negative: Just 1, a bit pricey for lunch (but it was Sunday afternoon.)

We love this place. It’s our new go to for Italian food. We’ve had Lesly as our server both times we have eaten here and she is the best! We will request her from now on. The manager/bartender on duty was great also! You guys will definitely see a lot more of us.

My wife and I recently discovered this restaurant a couple of months ago and now have dinner here every week. Rick the manager is very attentive and an excellent bartender. Nick , the chef , is quite possibly the best in Canton , and Woodstock .
He is an absolute master of perfection when it comes to the details of food preparation.
The kitchen and everyone else that we’ve met are fantastic people with great attention to details as well !
The restaurant is one of the prettiest restaurants you could go to . Pricing is very affordable considering the excellent quality and premium location!
Me and my wife eat at a restaurant every night and this is currently our favorite!
Thank you to the owners , Rick , Nick and the staff for being so hospitable!

A 7:30 PM reservation apparently means nothing here. We weren’t seated until 8:00, and once we were finally at the table, we sat there for another 20 minutes before a server appeared. Ordering took an additional 30 minutes after that. We didn’t start eating until around 8:30, which is unacceptable for a reservation-based restaurant.

Our server routinely vanished for long periods with no explanation. No updates, no check-ins, just silence. The experience felt less like dining out and more like waiting to be remembered.

The hostess was visibly stressed when we arrived, which at least matched the chaos of the night. However, when we were leaving, she appeared perfectly content and didn’t even acknowledge us. No thank-you, no apology, no recognition that the evening had gone poorly.

The food was good, but good food doesn’t excuse bad service and poor management. We paid full price after spending two hours feeling ignored and inconvenient. A simple apology, transparency about wait times, or any attempt at service recovery would have helped, but there was none.

Overall, this was a frustrating and poorly managed experience. We won’t be returning, and management needs to seriously improve communication and how they handle guests when things go wrong.
