The inside is really beautiful. I love all the hanging plants. We went for dinner, the lights were low and we had a small table lamp. The music is loud enough you can't hear other people's conversations, but you can hear each other at the table. The food was amazing! We ordered spaghetti bolgenese, chipotle fettuccine alfredo with Italian sausage and shrimp, and rigatoni carbonara. I will say, this seems more of a date place. There wasn't a children's menu, which is fine. If you bring a child, they will have an adult meal. We will definitely come back.
The pizza sauce had a faint sweet background flavor my son did not care for. The truffle sauce on the ravioli was okay taste-wise but there definitely was way too much on the dish. The portobello mushrooms were a good starter. Our server did good and we did have the owner or manager check to see if we needed anything. It was not busy during our late lunch on a Saturday. I do like how they do their bread, nice and buttery with a garlic background. The ambiance was nice and the place was clean. I know this place is fairly new so I’ll give it another try.
Loved this place! Will def be coming back regularly. Bartender’s drinks were exceptional and the food/service was great as well. The pizza is a must have on your first visit and love that they let you do half and half so you can try multiple ones.
The food quality was amazing everything is fresh and well prepared I definitely recommend bruschetta’s as a appetizer. I’m in love with the food quality here everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious I can’t wait to go back and try everything from the menu . Thanks to our server she did an amazing job I believe her name was Yoko ☺️
Wanted to check out this new Italian spot for about a week, and I finally made the drive out. I knew it was making its way from our sister city, Juárez, so my expectations were high, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Nestled in the booming Eastlake area, location is everything. As soon as you walk in, you get smacked in the face with that fresh, stone-oven baked aroma, hmmmm. Seating for two took about 3 minutes, and we were placed near the bar. The place is a little small, so make sure you call ahead or arrive early because once word gets out, it’s going to be packed. Even while we were there, every table was taken, I counted about three two-tops, a handful of four-tops, and two areas set for bigger parties. They handled a group of six and another of ten with no problem. For entrées, we both ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with asparagus, and added mushrooms and spinach. For drinks, I had the Mezcamica (they were out of Jamaica, so they swapped in strawberry), and my wife had a spicy pineapple cocktail (apologies, the mezcal smoke dome had us too busy enjoying to remember the exact name). Both drinks were on point, but that Mezcamica… wow. The mezcal arrived under a glass dome filled with smoke, and that smoky flavor hit perfectly, pulling out every note of the drink. Between the food and the drinks, we were taken straight to flavor town. They also have a solid wine selection if that’s your vibe. The atmosphere is a nice mix, a little fancy, but still cozy and homey at the same time. Everything just fit together, and every bite tasted like WOW. Don’t just take my word for it though, check it out yourself. I promise you’ll walk away glad you did, and you definitely won’t be disappointed.
