“Excellent food. The crab and lobster stuffed ravioli was amazing. Hubby had lobster ravioli which also impressed. I would buy the vodka sauce if they sold it. Desert was flan and creme brûlée both were exceptional. They have cute outdoor seating which would be wonderful in summer. Definitely a place to put on your list to eat at.”

“There's a giant painting of an Italian flag covering the entire restaurant, just so you know what you're getting into. When you enter the place you're greeted with a beautiful interior with tone lighting and beautifully set tables. You can dress well if you'd like or you can wear something a bit more casual. The service was very good and they are able to let you try wine before buying it. There was a lot of variety for food and they have a list of specials to keep things fresh. I wanted to try a new place out and I was hesitant at first but I'm glad I went. Highly recommend if you're looking for a family owned Italian place in the Wilkes-Barre area!”

“A nice warm atmosphere. The staff is excellent, well trained, and attentive. We had several cocktails before dinner, and each was excellent. The food had a beautiful presentation, and the quality was outstanding. Portions were exceptionally large for such high-quality food. Their desert options were incredible. We chose 3 different items, and each was worth the indulgence of probably eating more than we should have. It's a very nice place to enjoy a quiet, intimate dinner.”

“Let’s put the rumors to rest, the food is superb as it always has been. I have been coming here since inception and although had a few different owners the food has been consistent. I highly recommend the restaurant. Just ate there today with a friend who was there last week. The dipping oil for bread is the same as another restaurant’s original version. If you are having a side of pasta try the dipping oil on it. Just a few spoonfuls and it is absolutely amazing. So if you hear any rumors that it went downhill, trust me, it didn’t and may have improved if they could do that. Highly recommend"

“I lived in Italy for 4 yrs and appreciate fine Italian cuisine, and I have to tell you that the food tonight was superb. Don’t let the building’s exterior fool you, inside is quaint, yet roomy and has a romantic ambiance; lighting and music was perfect. Service was better than most restaurants these days; staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back next time we are in Wilkes-Barre.”
