Excellent experience from start to finish. The food was full of flavor, well prepared, and beautifully presented. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the portions were just right. The service was attentive and welcoming without being overbearing, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for either a casual meal or a special night out. You can tell they take pride in both the kitchen and the customer experience. Overall, a standout spot with great food, great service, and a great vibe. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it.

Great atmosphere and good food. Service was fantastic from Sky, she made sure that all our needs were taken care of before we had to ask.
My wife and I went on a very busy weekend, Valentine’s, but we enjoyed it very much. The manger came by and apologized for the wait, but we totally understood! It was busy!
We have no complaints about our visit, and look forward to dining here again. Hopefully we get Sky as our waitress, she is a blessing!

The food was delicious. Caprese salad with chicken was fresh and plenty of it for the price. The only concern was the staff. There was one waitress covering the entire restaurant and we never were offered water refills or etc. but she could hardly help it. She was working hard to help every customer. There were simply too little staff for the customer base.

Return visit ,
Guys , what happened to the service and food quality. I had to ask what the specials were and my wife chose the halibut that was honestly , not worth any amount and it was a special .
Frozen fish is the norm in this region but this had sat too long judging by the slight ammonia smell . I opted for the risotto beef, the risotto was the star , not the beef , quality of beef was not the same , still a 42.00 dish .
Never even received the dessert options nor was asked about them and if you follow along we ordered dessert last time ..
And to follow up on my previous review , shit can the live music until after 9pm , a reversal to
this being a normal loud Italian standard in the city . It’s BS and your servers and hostess staff are distracted because of it. The prices you request for your specials deserve better . If you want it to be a bar then be a bar ..
Our reservation was at 6:15 pm

I’ll start this off by standing up for this place from all the other reviewers . It’s an Italian Restaurant, there will be conversations that are louder than others , this has always been the vibe here and other long time places in and around Memphis . Yes there is a large bar area ..
We went early to avoid the louder crowd . The service and food was amazing .
We had apps of Fried Green tomatoes and Calamari
Dinner was Shrimp Scampi Oregenata , Sorrentino Scampi , and 2 orders of the Rissoto Beef Castrioti for the 4 of us .
Desert was followed by Crème Brûlée and Triple Fudge Chocolate Cheesecake..

Hubby and I had dinner here as first-timers on a Sunday around 5:30pm, with a reservation made online. We were seated quickly at the tables along the wall: a long continuous bench on one side with chairs on the other. This seating is close to others and your conversation won’t be private. Also the bench seating sits a bit higher than the chairs. Lighting is dimmed but not too dark. Our server was very friendly and efficient, we never had to ask for refills. Hubby had the seafood platter with risotto and said it was very delicious, just not as much food for the price, and it comes in a bowl. I had the spinach salad which was tasty, but had way too many diced red onions. The margherita pizza was very good; I think they could’ve extended the toppings out to the crust more.

Really good Italian food in a nice, casual setting. Great service

This was our first time here, and it was okay. It’s a very unusual setup where half of the place is a bar with live music, and perhaps more casual food, and the other half, behind a thick curtain is a very quiet, more upscale restaurant. We made a reservation ahead of time, and we were seated right away. Our server was great. He was super friendly and attentive.
We started with the Caprese salad, which was excellent. I highly recommend it. The cheese is fresh and with tomatoes in season, the balsamic worked perfectly. It was a little surprising to have a pesto instead of just fresh badil, but i thought it worked. Unfortunately, we had higher expectations for the main course. The veal marsala was not marsala. We almost thought it was a mistake. The sauce was wrong, but it had a pretty good flavor, but unfortunately, it wasn’t what we expected. The rosted potatoes, however were exceptional. Cooked perfectly and such a simple side, but hard to execute well. My spinach side dish had way too much vinegar. I didn’t even get through two bites. However, my shrimp was very good, and the portion was very generous. I don’t eat bread, but I wished it would have come with a piece to soak up what was left on my plate; that’s how good it was.
Overall, we had some hits and misses. I’m glad we tried this place, and maybe it’ll take a second time to try other options. I would recommend coming here to try it for yourself-even if it’s just ordering a pizza on the casual side. (Which we saw a lot of people do)
