Great little Italian restaurant in Youngstown, Ohio. We made reservations for a friday night …read more While this restaurant is small , they try not to overcrowd the diners with reservations as a must . Some patrons were lucky enough to be seated without reservation at the small bar area, but that is not a guarantee . However, reservations here are a guarantee and the experience was great . This is a casual dining experience inside a home built in the1920's. Our waitress was kind, attentive and informative . I felt like a relaxed guest in a home that wants you to have a good time and enjoy spectacular food. We had the pistachio lasagna, pasta Alla Norma , pizelle fritte napoletane , arancini , insalata caprese , sfogliatella and all was delicious . We will be back to try the pizzas and more ! Make a reservation and come on in and experience for yourself.

I had high hopes for this restaurant to be part of a festive family night when I made my…read morereservation more than a month ago. I conscientiously booked this anticipating a large dinner crowd due to a holiday show downtown on the same night. Unfortunately we arrived 30 min early to a restaurant that was slammed. I would have been patient if they seated our small party at the next available table. But she shrugged her shoulders and told us to come back at our reservation time. I found this baffling for its dumbheadedness. We retired to a drafty hallway since we had to wait while they seated other people for 30 minutes. I tried to remain optimistic as I peered through the window at the lavishly decorated dining room and fighting off impending hypoglycemia. At precisely 6 pm my husband and daughter returned for our table. We were told to wait a minute because they DIDN'T HAVe A TABLE Ready? I feel like that is the essential duty of having a standing reservation booked BEFORE hand. The table was finally ready but not in the main dining room but an oddly built loft next to a service area. The loft stairs proved challenging for my elderly husband's knees but he made it. We found the food delicious, created with care for cooking traditions and ingredients that makes Youngstown a proud culinary destination. The food was worth waiting for but I felt very slighted by their inept handling of my reservation.

I would recommend this place if you're in the area.

After all, we were in Youngstown Ohio, not Chicago or New York. What a gem! First of all, the wine. Here is where we learned about Pecorino wine...and we had thought it was just cheese. Delicious! As for appetizers, we always order the artichoke as it is stellar...and now we add the octopus to our list of must haves. Polpo was tender, perfectly cooked. Served with a garnish of potatoes and capers and a divine sauce, beautifully played. After all this, we split the eggplant Parmesan...light, full of flavor, perfect in every way. This restaurant is why we drive through Youngstown. We are excited to try their new spot in Austintown next time we come through. We understand they are moving there but also keeping this location as a more casual concept. We wish them luck. Amanda was a great server!!!!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a cozy, welcoming ambiance that set the tone for a great evening. The service was top notch--our server Jessica was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She knows the menu very well. What impressed us was the fact that She anticipated our needs as if she was a mind reader. Without even asking, she brought out leftover boxes for our meal. The food did not disappoint. We started off wedding soup---which was so rich in flavor and amazing. Followed by the bacon wrapped shrimp and scallops and had the Linguini Fra Diavolo and the Veal Florentine. Everything was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice and flavor. To top off our meal, we had to have a takeout of the desserts. the tiramisu and the lemon mascarpone cake (recommended by Jessica as the two top desserts) ---both were the perfect sweet ending to a delicious dinner. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and craving authentic Italian with warm hospitality!
