This is one of my favorite restaurants in Galveston! When I really want a great Italian meal, I head there. It’s a bit tricky to find but definitely worth the challenge. It’s a “must try”! We had the calamari, meat lasagna, eggplant parmigiana and panna cotta. All wonderful!

We will not be returning. Your mileage, as always may vary, good luck. The service did not match the pretense of the white table clothes. That clouded the entire evening. The ambiance felt stale which also clouded the entire experience. I cannot offer constructive criticism, as the waiter did not introduce himself (at a white table cloth restaurant). The lack of attentiveness of the waiter also contributed to a poor dining experience. We had reservations and were seated at a tiny table in the middle of the room which also contributed to a poor dining experience. This was a special occasion which was noted when making the reservation, no acknowledgment at all was made. No special treatment was expected, understandably one has to make money, but not even a passing mention of the occasion. The entire experience was hurried which also clouded the dining experience. The food was unremarkable given the poor service. Perhaps this place will survive on the backs of the regulars whose service was clearly better. We will not be one of them, we will not return.

Amazing, authentic Italian food! All the pasta is made in-house, and every dish bursts with incredible flavor. Truly a must-try!
