    Had dinner here with my wife and friends. This is an outstanding restaurant. The service was exceptional, the food was very well prepared and the drink/spirits options were plentiful. The ambiance could be a bit more ‘intimate,’ but the noise levels were acceptable and distance between seating areas was reasonable. I felt the pricing was just very slightly high, but, overall a very good experience which I would recommend.

    The restaurant was exceptional. We had a fabulous time our server. Matthew was on point. Even with it being valentines, we still felt that we were not overlooked in the party room. The food was amazing. It was a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday.

    One of our favorite restaurants on the Island, so we always look forward to the experience. Even though we added one person to our party, they accommodated us with a great table. Tomatoes in the 3 tomatoes plate were little large.

    This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Galveston. Food is always great. The owner/chef is onsite and available. Service is prompt and friendly. Great casual dining. The only issue, and it is not within the control of the restaurant, is there is a self serve parking lot immediately behind the restaurant that makes it as difficult as possible to pay and then makes a living towing vehicles. It is so bad that there is a warning on the restaurant’s website that the restaurant is not responsible for parking. You will do yourself a favor if you visit this restaurant. Just don’t utilize the self park immediately behind the building.

    We made dinner reservations for 3:45pm and were promptly seated. Very good time as restaurant had a calming ambience before the crowds. Nice place with multiple seating areas from front to back. We were seated in Dinning Room which is 1/2 through the restaurant. We started with their Appetizer Platter & bottle of Italian red wine (Delacorte). Of course it was a delicious blend that our waiter Nathan said was popular with guests. For Entrees we enjoyed their Scallops (including a selection of local fish from the Gulf), and Lasagna Bologne. They were both hot and delicious. Of course everything about the dining out experience is strongly influenced by the staff employed, and our Server Nathan was efficient, knowledgeable, friendly & actually appeared to enjoy working there! We’d definitely return next time - this place is a welcome alternative from our “rushed” dining experiences back home in San Diego.
