Classic Italian stop. Lasagna and Meatball Sandwich were delicious. The Wisconsin Cheddar cheese soup was tasty and rich In flavor. Great place to have a get together! The time B4 we had pizza which went over well with everyone.

Nice and chill ambiance at this location, dim lighting and seating arrangement. Pleasant, very nice. We had the supreme pizza with Pineapple and it was delicious. The 14 hands cabernet was a perfect match with the meaty toppings. Tristan was a joy to have as our waiter, attentive and polite.

Was going to leave a review, and then I see that someone else has already written one almost verbatim what I was about to in regards to the bartender interactions with delivery drivers. I’m not sure why it’s just them she does it to, but if I were treated like that I would just stop coming to pick them up. Food was good, but I couldn’t ignore that fact. Maybe get someone else with better customer relation skills? Probably won’t come back – made the atmosphere awkward. Or if I do, ill make sure to request a seat far from the bar.

I had lunch with a customer here on 10/22 around 11:30. We were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. After reviewing the enormous menu for a few minutes, I decided on the Italian sausage casserole because I was craving mushrooms. It came with a soup or salad, so I chose the potato and green chili soup. It was creamy with just the right amount of kick from the chilis. And just when I was finishing up my soup, the casserole arrived. It was meaty and cheesy and full of yummy mushrooms too. Overall we were able to discuss business in a great atmosphere while enjoying a delicious meal. We had a good time!

Wonderful place. We were seated immediately on a busy night. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean.
Mafia Queso was flavorful and had a generous bowl full. Served with chips and two garlic bread pieces. By far our favorite of the night.
The pasta sampler had a good serving of each item. We did wish that it had sauce options so it wasn’t all the same tomato based.
Would recommend as they have plenty of options on the menu that would satisfy anyone in the group.

Our city was basically closed for snow and frigid temperatures, I needed to get lunch for over 300 essential workers. I called at 8am, and at 1130am, I picked up delicious, perfectly packaged meals. Thank you Luke and team! I appreciate your taking care of these hardworking crews. Shop Local

Service was wonderful and our waitress was incredibly kind. Unfortunately, for a $140 bill, the food was disappointing. The focaccia was more like pizza dough, the sun-dried tomatoes were overly burnt, and the chicken had a chewy texture. Most concerning, three of us had stomach aches shortly after eating. We didn’t raise concerns at the time since we were traveling and the service was excellent, but the experience didn’t meet expectations given the rating and price. Wouldn’t leave a negative review except the sick adults for a 2 hour drive.

Was in town for a rugby tournament and asked for recommendations. Went at the worst time – 8 pm on a Friday, but the seating was pretty quick even with a good number of people in line.
The food was excellent. It was a good sized place, but the seating made it seem cozy. The service was great – attentive but not overbearing.
I only wish I had a reason to be in Lubbock more often to be able to go back.

Excellent and timely service. Had the half order of the lasagne. Nicely appetizing presentation and appropriately hot. Taste was good (strong tomato emphasis) though high on the sodium. Overall a nice meal at a good price point. Was visiting Lubbock briefly for a conference and would certainly consider returning if I am back in town.

Came here for a birthday dinner. Would have been better going to Fazolis or Italian Garden. I ordered a coffee, and it arrived in a huge cup with hardly anything in it. Ordered the sampler for 2 and asked for easy on the sauce. It still arrived drenched. How most other places hydrate their product with water or milk for cheese dishes, this place apparently hydrates with oil.
The atmosphere is great, and the service is phenomenal.
