Ive had the menu mix from here. I have to say it can be good food but I fear theyll be shutting down if they cant learn to portion better. The marinara mussels come completely drowning in sauce which I dont dont theyre losing their rears in. Same goes for spaghetti its good but theyre giving you so much that it usually ends up going home or in the trash. Ive never had a huge issue with the wait staff sometimes theyll be shorthanded and upset over who takes what table. I suggest they train their staff on how to wait a table, if youre going to have an Italian restaurant you play jazz or something classical. You dont blast pop music over the sound system. So back to the food I go, Ive had their chicken and honestly its the worst thing you can get. Its literally boiled chicken in a watery mess of noodles and an attempted Alfredo. I strongly suggest you avoid it. The rolls are good and overall Ive had good experiences here besides the small things where my inner chef comes out and I see their portions are what causes them to lose any profit.

A real nice find just off highway 67 in Jefferson City Arkansas. Just fresh off a trip to Italy and now a US road trip, this is a great place for some VERY respectable Italian flavors. It all began with on point service from Brittney. The restaurant doesnt have wine or any liqour offering. Sad there is no limoncello, but alas we were traveling with wine in our vehicle. So BYOB any adult beverage and they will charge a mere $1 wine glass fee. No corkage fee. The portions are such we would highly recommend family style sharing. Dont let the uninspired location in a strip mall with a SAMs club open sign fool you. If it were me I would change out the dark mini blinds with perforated window decals of Italian scenery of lavender, cypress trees and villas, but thats just me! Ciao! Ask for Brittney

Wow, I was all ready to come to your restaurant this evening, and I got on your website and looked around. It says you are open until 8:30p.m.. However, having read some previous comments about you closing early, I decided to call and see what time they were open till. I find out that they say 8:00p.m...WOW...I THINK AT THIS POINT YOU HAD BETTER LOOK AT YOUR WEBSITE AND FIX WHATEVER ISSUES YOU HAVE. EITHER THAT OR FIND OUT WHY THE EMPLOYEES ARE CLOSING EARLY!!! My mom in law called on Friday said she went there to eat and the food was fabulous...I had wanted to take my hubby there for a late birthday celebration as we have been working long hours and didnt get to go on his birthday!!! Guess I need to rethink where Id like to go!!! VERY DISAPPOINTING TO ME!!!

Great food. The best Italian food in the area surrounding Little Rock. Even better than what I had on "The Hill" in St. Louis and my favorite Italian restaurant in El Paso, Tx. Clean seating, clean restrooms, clean (polite, prompt, and friendly) waitstaff, sweet manager who will help out with anything from bussing tables to discussing sauces with me. Anything can be customized! The atmosphere is typically soothing barring a big rush where it can become a tad noisy. There is no alcohol served. However, they provide a bottle service for wine if you bring the bottle. Plus, doodling on the table papers is encouraged.

We have been to this restaurant twice now. We live over 30 miles away and met friends here the first time. Went back on our own the second as the food is that good. Both times got there on a Friday night just before 6 pm. Got right in to a booth. The wait staff both times has been excellent. The staff watch us for drink refills etc and check on us for any questions. The food is prepared how we like it (asked for some variations) and it is served hot. The breadrolls are also very good. Looking forward to the next time we go.

Best Italian place by far around the Cabot/Jacksonville/Sherwood area. No need to drive to little Rock for great food and great choices. Wine? No problem. They are not able to serve it but you can bring in your bottle for tapping service and they supply the class for a dollar. Great menu great sauces. Prices are as cheap as chain places with better tasting food. Only downside is salad is not included in meals. That is 2.95 extra.

Stopped in an hour before close which is normally a no no for most places. We had attentive service. Food was fresh, yummy, affordable and such big portions that we took 3/4 to go after eating. Were big people who hadnt eaten all day so for us to say its huge portions is a real testament to their portion sizes. Love love love. Will be making the hour and a half drive for more real soon!

It was our first time going and they were very patient with us and even talked to our son (9 month old) and entertained him. The rolls were awesome and our entrees were magnificent. I had the steak and Alfredo and my husband had the chicken and both were perfect. Very good service by sweet people. 5 stars all the way across

Excellent, and huge, plates. Food is very good. Loved the Salmon. Service is a bit slow. Waited at the door for about 5 minutes without being spoken to. Waitresses just walked by. Apparently only the owner seats people? Anyways, extremely friendly staff other than that...and like I said, the food is excellent.

Went here with some friends for dinner, and I love everything about this place! The food was amazing with great portions for the money (I ended up having another meal left over!). Service was courteous and prompt. Just be advised you have to bring your own wine because its apparently a dry county

Wonderful food. Lovely service. Great prices. If you have not eaten here you are missing out on a really good place. Well worth the drive from other central AR cities. nice dining room too. We are new customers but will be regulars!!!

Terrible food, I dont know why everyone brags on this place so much. Their broccoli was way overcooked and mushy (so was their pasta), and the chicken was old and tasted freezerburnt. The only thing good about this place was the service.

Good food in good portions and awesome rolls make this my go-to place pretty much anytime Im craving pasta. The food is easily as good as more expensive places down in Little Rock with the added benefit of being half the cost and local.

I love the friendly family atmosphere of this restaurant. Servers are always friendly but the food is exceptional and always fresh. Dont fill up on the warm fresh rolls because the main dish is huge. Bring your appetite and a smile.

I pulled up at 8:55 pm on a Saturday night & I watched them turn off the open sign. The website said they close at 10 & so did the door. Very unprofessional. Also, when they watch me pull up & see me open my door to get out.

This place is the best Italian food in the area. I try to compare this place to Olive Garden and the bread doesnt even come close. This place beats olive garden, hands down! I believe Wednesdays, kids eat free.
