This was our first visit, and we’re already planning when we can go back. No reservations, so if you go on a weekend, get there early, or be prepared to wait…but trust me, the wait is totally worth it.We started with a side of meatballs — good flavor, nice light marinara, but a little dense and chewy. Everything was better from there. The calamari was light, crispy and well-seasoned, with that same tasty marinara. The house-made fried mozzarella was amazing — coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and baked to a beautiful golden crisp.For entrees, I had the Frutti di Mare with linguine, which was one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked pasta, with a tomatoey, spicy sauce that tasted like the sea (it would make a great cioppino broth). We also tried the baked ziti with sausage, which had great sausage and a rich, flavorful sauce, and the salmon piccata, which had a light, bright sauce and a tender, perfectly cooked fish.No liquor license, but BYO wine, which somehow seems to fit with the overall charm. Great food, friendly atmosphere, and top notch service — this place is now on our regular rotation of Italian places.

This authentic Italian place is amazing! We did not know what to expect when we walked in, but the first thing we did see was a Wood Fired oven and got so excited! Obviously we got the pizza and was the best pizza we have ever had. The dough was unlike any I have ever had. The sauce was so fresh and perfect cheese perfect pepperoni, perfect we fell in love needless to say. Let’s not forget about the Caesar salad. That was also the best I have ever had. I am not sure what they put in their dressing but it won me over and I I am not easy to please when it comes to a Caesar. The bread they bring out was lightly toasted and was so light and airy along with a delicious fresh pesto dip. I think that’s what it was anyway. The next time we go back, we will be trying a lot of other things. Finally, the owner was hands-on very gracious, and the server was very attentive and so polite. The ambience was romantic and beautiful. We will definitely be back and back and back and back! I wish we had taken pictures of the pizza, but we ate it so fast before I remembered! This place is a little slice of heaven!

The atmosphere of the place exuded really good vibes , and the waiters and crew were exceptionally kind and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by the authentic taste of Italian food offered at this restaurant. The pizza was outstanding, with a perfect crust and a rich. The pasta dishes were delicious, and the Tiramisu dessert was a true delight. Additionally, the selection of Gelato was impressive with real ingredients.
Iam highly Recommended this place for an Authentic Italian Dining Experience in Texas

Got the Spaghetti Carbonara, absolutely wonderful. Great portions for a great price & very homemade tasting. Would 100% recommend this family owned spot, it was so cute and authentic. Kenny and the staff were so so sweet, I will be coming back.

What a wonderful gem! We arrived early for dinner and it was a treat to listen to the music that set the tone for a special dining experience. Our second visit, and it was even better than our first (hard to believe). Betsy was a great ambassador for our visit to little Italy. Perfect host, service, second to none. We ordered 2 fired pies and the zucchini frites. The Napolitan crust was light and thin, with a chewy crust. I can see why they are soooooo busy, just with the carry out. We were curious about the tomato basil soup and our curiosity was rewarded. Rich, savory and the right amount of herbs and spices to build your impatience for the next spoonful. Save room for the gelato, and remember to ask what the off menu flavors are. Enough leftovers for several meals. A hidden gem!

Love that this place is BYOB. If you like seafood, you have to try the risotto di mare. My only complaint is that it’s very popular for such a small place, it is usually packed after 6:00.

This place was outstanding. I got a blue cheese gnocchi dish and it was so good. It wasn’t too overwhelming the flavor profile fit perfectly. My husband got a chicken and mushroom dish and he loved it. He said the sauce was excellent. This is a bring your own wine kind of place but we don’t drink so we just had tea and it was good. The service was fast. We were in and out in under an hour. Restrooms were clean and well stocked and parking was ample with not a long walk to get to the front door.
