This was our first time visiting this restaurant and we were celebrating our anniversary. Christina was our waitress. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. She gave great recommendations and answered all of my questions about the different sauces. If you are thinking Olive Garden.... Get that thought out of your head and visit this place for it's authentic Italian food.

Always Excellent! I have eaten here like 20 times. I just did take out and the dish is still HOT HOT. BC I have high sugar I told them no pasta with the Genova and they said ok we can put in extra veggies for you which made an A+ meal even better. My wife and daughter devour the tiramisu I missed snapping that pic but will when I go for the 21st time :P, the Staff are super friendly and if you read this there's really nothing I don't like about this place. These photos don't do it justice I almost don't want to put them but just know it's AMAZING and the portion size will leave you FULL.

The house made garlic knots were good, I got the shrimp and lobster ravioli. I initially thought the shrimp would be in the ravioli with the lobster but it's actually topped with shrimp. Really good, great flavor and mopping up the sauce with the garlic knots was a bonus.

First time trying this restaurant. The service was fast. The house/side salad was larger than most. Portions were generous. All the meals we had came with lots of sauce. The chocolate cake was delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Faleminderit, Grazie

Pictured is the Chicken Murphy and Chicken Piccata. Both are fabulous. My first time trying the Murphy and that's going to be my new go to. The piccata was my husband's order and it's great too esp. if you're looking for a sauce that's not too heavy. My critique is the bread that is served could use a little work - doesn't have too much of a taste to it and they could elevate it. We love their calamari for an app with the tasty marinara sauce served that is just perfect. Calamari was a little over cooked today but hey, who is perfect? We still ate it up and it didn't go to waste! Lastly, the desserts are not appealing in the refrigerator how they are left opened. They look dried out and it's just not appealing to the eyes when you first walk in. I did not have any due to that today. With these small things they can fix I am just putting it out there hoping they can work on them possibly? (Constructive criticism) I am still giving them a 5/5 because our main dishes were the important part and what counts for us. These people are authentic and local! Yall have to keep in mind how hard it is to own a business in Dothan. But let me tell you, this place is one of our go to places now! We have very few restaurants this good in Dothan! Let's shop and eat at local places when we can!
