   I always go for the specials. Great Piemontese dishes. A wonderful addition to Tampa dining.

   Pros: extensive menu, reasonable decor, extensive wine list. Cons: the proprietors are supposed to be from the Piedmont region of Italy, but you would never know that from the quality of the food preparation. I ordered veal pizzaiola. When served, it was breaded, but it hadn’t been recently pan fried; the breading was like mush. Inexpert or indifferent reheating procedure. One of the two pieces of veal was inedible, because it was too stringy. Very disappointing and not what I expected given some of the positive reviews. The other major negative is that the front of the house staff were more interested in chatting with each other behind the bar and they were in keeping track of and checking on their guests. Overall, seemed promising from all the positive reviews in our initial entrée into the restaurant. However, after that, it all went downhill. I don’t plan to return.

   It was really great. Tableside fettuccine was delicious but my favorite was the ravioli plin with ragu. All homemade and paired with the Elvio Cogno Barolo Cucina Nuova - simply perfection. The staff was attentive and you can tell it’s family run.

   This is a nice small local restaurant that serves tasty food. I do think that the tables next to the bar are not the best since that’s where all the food app drivers come in to get orders. Also, we saw several open tables but had to wait till our reservation time to be seated. I like the menu and the general vibe . But the dessert menu deserves more attention than just those paper printouts. I also observed an issue at another table where a customer was having issues with his salad which was carried around by at least 3 different people before being placed again in front of him , unchanged, and was ultimately pushed aside. They should have made him a new one or offered an alternative.

   Absolutely one of the greatest family-owned restaurants in Tampa Bay. Authentic Italian food prepared and served by an Italian couple who are friendly, professional and amazing cooks. They also have an excellent wine list. One of my favorite places to dine!

   Amazing food, great service. You can tell everything is actually made in house from the pasta to the deserts.

   Amazing, as usual. Well done! This is what North Tampa lacks. A wonderful family run restaurant.
