   First time at this restaurant. Dinner took 3 hours—very long time between arrival & drinks, ordering food and appetizers, service re apps and main course, getting invoice and paying. We were nearly the last table in the restaurant getting our invoice and paying. Waiter had been requested to create 3 invoices but put all on one invoice and took a l-o-n-g time to create individual bills. Bruschetta ($12ish) was 4 Small pieces of bread w/ some chopped tomato—this is an Italian restaurant! Entrees were ok but overpriced for quality and quantity. Veges accompanying entree were meager in amount served but well prepared. Will not return—better choices in the vicinity.

   I have dined here many times. Tonight was extremely busy since it was Valentine's Day. t was unusual to have to wait for an entree or server but under the circumstances I can understand, Each meal is carefully prepared for the customers. and every table was full for my 7:30 reservation., ordered the Pasta with shrimp as a main course, and calamari to start. They were both excellent and well. seasoned. My wife ordered carpaccio as her appetizer that she enjoyed and the sea bass which the said was absolutely delicious. That came with a potato dish and lots of vegetables. The surprise ending was two chocolate covered strawberries that we both enjoyed. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine from their extensive wine list. This place is really a hidden gem that beats all the most well--kkniwn names in SW Florida in my opinion.

   Everything was great except the menu stated rack of veal and I was served on large veal chop. I assume that. Rack means more than one chop.

   Our first visit was wonderful experience. All of the staff provided outstanding hospitality. In particular, Doug, our waiter, was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The calamari fritti was light, delicious, prepared perfectly! The Chilean Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and delicious. I would prefer less liquid on the plate when served, though. While flavorful, a small piece of fish that fell from my fork caused a splash that stained both my shirt and my pants. My wife enjoyed the Chicken Valentino. The chicken was tender and flavorful. Thank you, to all of the staff, for providing an enjoyable Valentines Day dining experience. We look forward to visiting again!

   Excellent pastas and service. We felt like we were family. Very reasonable wine list with quality selections for Italian whites and reds to pair.

   We’ve lived five minutes away from here for a few years and finally decided to try it out. Food was very good and reasonably priced, and not your run-of-the-mill Italian dishes. Service was excellent—just the right amount of attention and pleasant. Waiters are in starched shirts, white tablecloths, casual elegance. Our waiter was new but clearly very experienced, not a teenaged kid. We definitely will be back!

   Worst meal we have had in SW Florida. Wife had seafood with pasta and sent it back. I had "fresh" made pasta with mushrooms in a cream sauce and it was so bland i had to cover it with parm cheese. Also, it was the first time I ever put salt on my pasta. I should have sent it back. After spending over $100 we left hungry and ended up at McDonalds. Maybe time to call Chef Ramsey!

    Wonderful dining experience. The best Italian restaurant in SW Florida. Elegant dining room, wonderful service and food. We travelled from Bonita Springs and will become regular diners. Excellent 5 star restaurant.
