    What a fantastic gem of Dallas. A splendid one-page menu of specialties from Sardinia. Go to some other place for a typical veal scallopini. Go here for something special, unique and outstanding. Excellent wines. Extraordinary Italian restaurant with warm hospitality and ambiance. We’ll be going back many times.

    Loved the food, wait staff, ambiance, etc. There were only 3 tables occupied, so the noise level was low and was more intimate. Prices were a little high but worth it based on how delicious. Our waiter was very attentive.

    Food and Service were wonderful on Christmas Eve! Wish the wine list had a few more choices in the lesser price points and also a few more items for the vegetarians in our group...
