“Nice Dunwoody spot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

Have had 2 meals since the open; pleased with both. Dunwoody has a tradition of difficulty when it comes to keeping restaurants. Italian has been the one exception and we might see history repeating. Service was very good and the owner was "omnipresent." Good crowd and all seemed to enjoy. The osso bucco was nicely done along with a very nice risotto. Wine list did not break the bank. The cannoli were a little disappointing, but likely impossible to "do it all" in the north Georgia suburbs. Happy to return.

“Now, that's Italian !!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 13, 2012 via mobile

My wife and I have eaten here three times. The food is authentic Italian. I should know, my parents are from Calabria. I had the fettuccini Bolognese and my wife had the penne Arrabiatta. Both were al dente with just the right amount of "gravy". We have decided to dine here once a week. Dunwoody needs a true Italian restaurant. Carbonara is it.

“Great Dunwoody Dining Spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

We love this place. The food is inventive and tasty. Service is personal and attentive. Prices are reasonable. And its close to home! So nice not to have to leave our hometown to find a great meal. Support this local businessman and his gem of a restaurant!

“Finally, a great restaurant in Dunwoody”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 13, 2012

We have dined here three times, once for lunch, twice for dinner, as recently as this past week. You may find some older reviews on other sites that are less than flattering, but those were during a period when the restaurant had not yet hit its stride, as is the case with many new eateries. Well, they've hit it now and it is great. I haven't found an item on the menu that was not excellent. Osso buco is the best I have ever had. Prices, particularly for the nice selection of house wines, are very reasonable. Service is warm, welcoming, and attentive. Spread the word. The Dunwoody restaurant scene now has a contender.
