What They Say about Us

Authentic Italian & delicious

Food was authentic Italian & delicious 😋 We were there on Friday night & there was a gentleman singer that sang songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, & others. Even a lady jumped up and sang an Adele song. A few couples even got up & danced, it was really sweet. A great little place for good food & a fun time.

A little slice of Italy

A little slice of Italy right here in Surfside. The staff was very friendly and the service was spot on. Love the decor! The food was outstanding and was served hot and in a timely fashion. You can tell the owner takes pride in his restaurant by the way he makes sure to mingle with the customers but also by the way he treats his staff. As soon as you walk in they make you feel welcome and you can tell they all take pride in their work, from the owner to the wait staff and even down the people bussing tables.

Very relaxed family atmosphere

Have been coming here for a few years 2 to 3 times a year when we are in the area…have never been disappointed with the service or our meals. Very relaxed family atmosphere. The owner always stops at your table to check on your meals, say a few words, and make you feel at home.

Very good Italian and Seafood.

Very good Italian and Seafood. Had a seafood pasta, dish for 2 that included a plethera of ocean delights and was quite tasty. Ordered our meal takeout due to Covid-19 and it was packaged to perfection and ready to eat when we returned to our condo.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Very fast and efficient. The food was excellent. Chicken Saltimboca, Veal parm, mussels, and Greek salad was all awesome. Took me back to our trip to Italy. The owner came by to check on us, too. We all got drinks and the prices were reasonable.
