    It was happenstance that we came across this Italian restaurant, located in the Home Depot center.Lucky for us !I had the lasagna, really enjoyed it, nice portion, tasty tomato sauce, served on a warmed plate.The table garlic bread was really good, served warm. problem: I asked about what appeared to be available WiFi service, but was told it was not available, unknown problem. It was not a big issue for me, but may be for some. problem: Freddy failed to refill the table bread, which I requested. BUT, to his credit, we were compensated with a cake and ice cream (?)dessert (which I would gladly trade for the bread!).We will be back, recommended.

    This is a nice local restaurant. It's been around for years.I prefer to dine on the patio when the weather is warm. The interior of the restaurant is divided in half. One side is family friendly dining. The other half is a popular restaurant bar.AV doesn't have many true bars so this one is a local hangout. I'm happy to go with friends or alone. There are no creepers. The bartenders are good. They'll even make a weird drink, like a Paper Plane, if they have the ingredients.The food is good. I don't like their salads. They're weird and dry. I do love their pizzas and pastas. My favorite is the gnocchi. It's a bit oily but still a tasty treat. I'm also a big fan of the lobster ravioli.The bartenders and waitstaff are friendly and efficient. My glass and bread plate are always full. The pasta is served HOT in heavy pasta bowls. One of the hostesses is snarky, but that's a small blip in otherwise stellar service.I always feel welcomed and at home when I dine here. Sometimes I come here because I crave the food. Sometimes I come because I enjoy the service.RECOMMENDParking: Big parking lot in a town center

    Lovely place! There’s happy hour everyday wow! I believe it’s from -pm. We missed happy hour this time. I got the Rigatoni norcina and it was amazing. The flavoring was great. The proportion of meat to veggie to pasta is perfect. And the leftovers taste so good. My dad got the linguini tutto made and omg I almost liked that one better than my own. The shrimp is huge and juicy. There’s a little spicy kick ️ to it which I love love love. And they give free unlimited bread (toasted garlic) and you can take a fresh little baggie to go as well! Great place for a casual date, as it’s not too fancy but just right! Really great. Loved it here!
