Delicious food and nice ambiance! Our server was efficient! Calamari, pizza and olive oil cake were top notch. Limoncello margarita was very good!

Nothing special here. Lasagna was flavorful but portion could have been larger, top noodle layer slightly overcooked. There was only 2 pieces of bread brought with dish, no butter or oil and balsamic to dip. Salad is alacart and pricy at $14. I ordered a Stella but was brought a Peroni. So, not super impressed, especially when meal was close to $100 with tip.

Better each time. A large crowd at 5:30 on a Thursday evening and outstanding food and service. And only an 8 minute drive from our home!

The food was excellent, plentiful and served very quickly. Our waiter was cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu. I can see why this place is quickly becoming the go to place in Lakewood Ranch. The only negative I can say is it was really loud in the restaurant.

Food was fantastic. This was our 4th time here and did not disappoint. Service was a little slow, but we were in no hurry and enjoyed the time to relax and enjoy the great atmosphere.

Carolina was a wonderful server. She is attentive, has lots of personality and energy and is incredibly kind. I didn’t see the manager on the way out or I would’ve sang her praises then. She took care of a 6 top of women for a Birthday lunch and we all adored her.
