They don't take reservations so show up when they open or else they get busy. Pear fiocchi is a sweet dish. It was a bit overly sweet to me and wish it was a smaller portion as an appetizer. Shrimp rosato was the highlight for me. It has huge Mayport shrimp with a mixture of Alfredo and red sauce. Limoncello mascarpone is a fluffy lemon sponge cake with mascarpone on top with shaved white chocolate. Was a very balanced dessert. Will be back!

We started with the arincini and it was amazing! The goat cheese made it spectacular and the marinara is really amazing. I have always wanted to try the pear fiocchi because everyone raves about it and it is their best seller. But...I was not impressed. The servers seemed to know it needed help. Our server offered me crushed pepper and another server stopped by and offered chili oil and peppers. I got the sense they knew I didn't like it and it needed some flavor. But it was too sweet. Even though it is pear pasta, I assumed the added cheeses and sauce would balance out the flavor but it was way too sweet. Luckily they took it off the ticket and I was able to share lasagne with my husband and that was amazing. Just beware that if you order multiple things, make sure you get different sauces because if jt has red sauce, it will all taste the same. Vary up your flavors. Also we got the chocolate cake and my kids left half the cake on the table. They never leave cake behind. I will also add that my daughter got the child size Sunday Suppa with pink sauce and a meatball and she LOVED it. I am glad we went and explored the menu, but I am literally sad the pear pasta was not as amazing as I had hoped it would be!

My suggested would be to bake the cheese with them or serve it cold but the dish was still excellent. I had the Lasagna and it was fantastic as well. Love the mix of Bolognese and Bechamel. Would order this again but also try different items. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back here to try new items.

I'm very glad as my server was very friendly, and the dining area was very cozy.

The Alfredo sauce was flavorless, watery and just all around awful. Soggy bland chicken parm. I even tried my friend's Lugo and he said it tasted like a boxed meal.

Sadly most of the party we were with didn't enjoy their meals but we were there for a birthday and all decided to keep it to ourselves. It wasn't a busy night and our poor server seemed all on her own for the most part. Dishes piled up and expected someone to come help her clear for the party or refill drinks. She did the best she could. The only redeemable dish is the pizza. The godfather pizza was great with crispy edges and full of flavor. Please just stick to pizza!

I ordered the wonderful fig-paste pizza ("Pizza Abruzze") for an appetizer and they agreed with me that it is delicious. My grandson got the "Fettuccini Alfredo" and devoured it.

The spice was perfectly balanced, and the lemon added just the right amount of brightness to complement the flavors. I've also tried the Espresso Martini on a previous visit, and it remains one of my favorites here. During this visit, I also ordered a Dirty Martini. While I enjoyed the experience overall, I was a little surprised by the $23 price point. I appreciate that this is an upscale establishment, but for my personal taste, the cocktail didn't quite deliver the value I would expect at that price. For dinner, I ordered the Josephine Rigatoni with Calabrian vodka sauce and Pecorino Romano ($20), adding three meatballs for a total of $35. The pricing is certainly on the higher end, so expectations naturally follow. Overall, the service was excellent, and the seasonal cocktail was a standout. I would happily return for another Espresso Martini and to explore more of the menu. While I enjoyed much of the experience, I felt the Dirty Martini was a little overpriced for what it offered.
