First time going here. This place was so dang good!! Best pizza I’ve had in a while, the cheesy bread was fantastic, and the free bread they give you was amazing. Everything came out fast, the waitress was super sweet. This is my new fave spot in town forsure. We got a ton of food and the price was really good.

Our waiter was very helpful with menu options. They even have a gluten free menu! The salad was one of the best I’ve had in any restaurant in a long time! The bread they brought out for the table was hot and fresh and delicious. My best friend and I both got the da Vinci and it was divine. Can’t wait to go back!

I absolutely enjoyed my food, I had the spinach stuffed ravioli and everything about it was good - the flavor, the presentation, the portion. The sauce on it was amazing and I was also tickled by the fact that the ravioli were round shaped and I got a good laugh out of the fact that they looked like nipple pasties, they were also delicious. The pasta and the ravioli were cooked perfectly. That was better than the majority of the other Italian restaurants here in KY. I definitely plan on and also look forward to eating here again and many more times.

When you walk in the door, you see pink, very Instagram style. Suitable for photography. It's beautiful. Italian food, no surprises, no disappointments. The service is very warm, the white sauce is very rich, super fragrant. The combo pizza is also great, freshly baked.

I forget to take pictures here a lot but it is very Similar to Tuscany if you have been there. I am happy with the quality of food for the price. I am especially enjoying the baked tomato slices, it has cheese and green flecks of parsley I believe. 7.00 wine is decent. You can always come during lunch for a cheaper meal. I will keep my fingers crossed this place survives.

What a super nice cozy Italian restaurant with lots of options to choose from. My child really enjoyed the kids cheese pizza. I have had the stuffed cheese shells with spaghetti best I have ever had. Highly recommended. Staff was super amazing and friendly.

Beautifully welcoming decor, overall the restaurant was clean and tidy and had calm lighting. The staff are all friendly and polite, very helpful and cheerful. The food here is a small slice of heaven. We tried four different pasta dishes, each one was artfully created with proper traditional ingredients and cooked with skilled hands that clearly have a passion for their craft. The portions are generous and the prices are surprisingly lower than I would have expected for food of this high quality. I don't think I've been this impressed by a restaurant in over a decade.
