Im NY Italian, I know good Italian food, and this is anything but. Table of four, each and every one of us were FRIGHTENED at the thought of eating our entree. I ordered chicken francaise, the chicken tasted freezer burnt, the sauce tasted like old, jarred, cheap hollandaise sauce. The staff was friendly, maybe overly friendly as the small restaurant seems to all participate in one big conversation. My father ordered a glass of wine, the waiter told him they didnt serve alcohol but the liquor store next store was open and he could bring his own. At that point, other patrons offered to pour him a glass from their jugs. This BYOB type of thing may or may not be what your looking for, however the food was inexcusable, amplified by a close to $100 check for four people who were in and out in 30 minutes, no appetizer, no atmosphere, and no alcohol to soften the blow to our wallet and palate.

Growing up in an Italian American Family, I am very picky about Italian restaurants. I recently relocated to SCC from the midwest, and I was in the mood for Italian. Sit down restaurant in SCC are rare, and we dont have many of the large chain restaurants close by. I found this gem of a place when I was at another store in the strip mall, and since I love to support local businesses, I decided to stop on for a bite to eat. Man I am sure glad that I did. The food here is excellent, and the selection is very good. The prices are reasonable, but not cheap by any means. You get what you pay for all around. The service, food quality, and portions were spot on.

Great food and really was enjoying visiting with my friend. Waitress starts vacumning floor...we asked if she could stop. She went back and told owner. Five minutes later...owner comes out to start the vacumn again. We called her over and said we were still eating and talking. And she said they closed 15 minutes earlier. They should have told us but no they took the order anyway. I come here once a year and enjoy it but my friend who lives here and myself will never come again.

Possibly the best all around dining experience in the apolllo beach/Ruskin area. Wonderful food servered in pretty large proportions. Super friendly staff that in many ways makes the experience over the food but lets be clear the food stands on its own and why this place will only grow since they focus on quality! The prices are very fair and since it is BYOB the average bill is much cheaper than eating elsewhere.

Awesome! Going home from a long day at Seaworld and stopped in and couldnt have been more pleased. Hospitable is an an understatement. It has been a very long time since I have had a balance of price, quality food, and customer service like this. Oh and live entertainment as well. I wish they were closer to my home. I live an hour south of here and will be returning. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I dont even want to give this place a star. Im really wondering if all these people saying its delicious food went to the same place I did because that was the worst Italian Ive ever had, if Im going to be blatantly honest. I really want to know how on earth they do catering and banquets because I would never pay for that and if I did Id be beyond mad. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

I was visiting from Rhode Island and my aunt told me about an excellent place to eat. The food was great and the people were very friendly. If in the area stop in and visit.

Overpriced. Anything that comes with "chips" comes with a small bag of Lays potato chips. I guess they arent lying, but I dont pay to eat out to have a bag a potato chips.
