After I clicked on the link to write this review, I stared at the screen for five full minutes because I did not know where to begin. First and foremost, thank you to Nino - the chef and owner - for a completely fantastic experience from the minute we turned the doorknob. Secondly, my wife and I will without hesitation... More

From the time we accidentally walked upon this charming restaurant until we sipped our last sip of wine, it was the perfect dinner! We enjoyed the Caesar Salad, Cannelloni al Osso Bucco, and Trio Depasta (a Ravioli sampler in a light pink sauce). Dessert was Tiramisu. Our favorite was the Trio Depasta - it was a delightful, flavorful dish! We... More

Having read mixed reviews it was hard to know what my wife and two friends were in for.fotunately this place outdid itself in every way. While waiting for our friends to arrive my wife and I were served some delicious flavored breads with our wine. The meal itself was excellent for all of us. I had veal with a Gorgonzola... More

Every time I go to downtown Lake Worth, I notice another restaurant has been shut down. THIS one has been there for more than 10 years, and I can see why. The food is amazing, the service is great, and the Bolognese is the best I've ever had. Yum!

Started out very good with fresh bread and wine. A little over midway through the salad my husband found a piece of wire in his salad. The waiter apologized and took the wire putting it in his pocket. He told us it was probably from the pot scrubber. He said he reprimanded the dish washer. When the bill came the... More

Buon Giorno, I remember you very well, and I remember the situation clearly. As you will recall, I personally extended a sincere apology to you and your husband because what you experienced was highly unusual and not at all representative of the kind of service typically delivered by our restaurant. This is why I immediately reprimanded the staff, I personally... More

Surprised reading the mixed reviews as we have always had a wonderful dinner here. Nino, the owner, has brought authenticity to this restaurant. Maybe the decor is in need of a little sprucing up, however, it is pleasant and charming and refreshing to be in a restaurant that is not slick looking. Never had a meal I did not enjoy... More

What can you say about this hidden gem! Breath taking meals taken right from the heart of Italy. You are seating in a quaint "cafe" lined with hundreds of Italian wines on display. I had the Buffalo Shank Ossobuco which was served with savy risotto - absolutely amazing. My wife had the Chilean Sea Bass which was the best fish... More

Four of us had dinner here on a Saturday night based upon the positive reviews previously noted. Bad mistake ! This establishment may have been quite good in the past but clearly it is "tired" now and is way past its prime. The decor is old and worn as is the menu. We had a 7PM reservation and it was... More
