It's an older building so it's a little run down but that does not detract from the amazing food. Everything came out fresh and piping hot and I mean Hot! It literally just came off the stove. They have a sign that says "this is not a fast food restaurant, everything is cooked to order so please be patient". It did take some time but it was well worth the wait. We really enjoyed the fresh bread that was brought to the table to start with, the olive oil on the table to dip the bread in was a nice surprise. My wife ordered the cheese ravioli and the sauce was creamy with the right about of spice. The cheese instead the ravioli was smooth and creamy. Delicious! I used the bread to soak up the rest of the sauce after my wife was done, ha. I ordered the Pollo Marsala and the sauce was delicious, I normally like a thicker sauce but was very good, the mushrooms were fresh and not over cooked so it was great and added a nice flavor to the dish, the three chicken breasts we're nice sized was juicy when I cut into them. The only complaint I had was the noodles were under cooked. That was actually the complaint from my daughter who ordered the fettuccini Alfredo without the peas. I would say it was a pleasant experience and I would definitely go back. I would try the spaghetti and meatballs or the ravioli next time. If you are in the area and in the mood for Italian food I would pop in and try it out!

A friend and I ate there for supper on Saturday (10-23-21). For starters we had their thick cream…read moreof potato soup, garnished with freal ried bacon bits. It was super thick, and ate more like a chowder. It would be the kind of comfort food you'd want to eat after shovelling the sidewalk this winter. Very good, stick to your ribs, and warm up your bones soup. I ordered their 3 Brisket Sliders, and they were delicious, their special in house made BBQ Sauce really set the sliders off. I need to see if they will sell their Special BBQ sauce, as I have never eaten any sauce that tasted better! My friend ordered the Lasagna, and he received a large portion, which he raved about the flavor! With his meal came a loaf of personal sized Italian Bread with butter which he said tasted very good too! I ordered the Brisket sandwich served on Marbled Rye bread, with Mozarella Cheese. I spread some of the BBQ Sauce on the sandwich and it tasted as good as the sliders! We were impressed with our meal selections, the waitresses were helpful and cheerful, offered suggestions as what to order, and answered any questions we had. When we left the wait staff cheerfully bid us farewell! We were both happy with our dining experience there, and would gladly come back and eat there in the future. A previous review said that if you were within 20 miles of Sheldon, Ia. this was a place to go to! We drove from Cherokee, Ia. and will gladly return, it's worth driving even 50 miles from Sheldon!

It seems over-priced at first, but since the portions are so large, you take half home for another meal. Three of us ate and we all enjoyed our meals. Plus the decor was fun. Please give it a try. Went back again and had an amazing wedge salad, which was recommended by someone in town. It's not on the menu anymore, but they accommodated me. So glad they did. It was really filling. I saw the homemade cherry cobblers but had no room. Will go back on Sunday morning for their breakfasts.

I was looking for an Italian lunch place in Sioux City near an appointment I had later in the…read moreafternoon. Trattoria fresco was the highest rated as well as the closest to my appointment. I arrived just as they opened so I was the first one there. Street parking was not an issue, but it may be later in the day. I don't know. They have a smaller luncheon menu and I chose lasagna and a side salad. The salad was very fresh and the dressing was a really light Italian that was very complementary to the greens and not overwhelming at all. When the lasagna came, I initially thought wow that's a lot of cheese, but it really was not an overwhelming amount. And the taste of the sauce as well as the meat in the lasagna was fantastic. I don't know what I expected, quite possibly the same generic type of lasagna you get at most places, but this was far from it. Very different than many other lasagnas and tasted as if a family member made it with an old secret family recipe. The restaurant is very clean and classy. My server was very polite and attentive, but not overwhelming. I didn't get any bread, which was a bit of a disappointment, not because I need bread in the least, but I do enjoy trying different breads at different restaurants. However, that takes away nothing from the dining experience for me. I won't even remove a star for it. This is five star all the way.

She recommended delicious wine pairings with everything we ordered. The prep on the muscles was like nothing I've ever tried, but it was really spicy and delicious. I will definitely be back. The atmosphere was lively. A musician was playing the guitar and played my favorite Alicia Keys song. came over and talked to us. She was lovely introduced herself. A very friendly place to spend a Saturday night with friends.

I was honestly impressed, for a small town and local Italian place I just wasn't sure what to order…read moretonight. Usually I end up getting the Stromboli or a sub which are both solid but I wanted to try something new and a bit more "Italian." I went with the Sausage and Pepper Parmigiana, a risk worth taking and probably my new favorite. It is a dish consisting of Sautéed sausage, bell peppers, onions topped with marinara sauce and baked with mozzarella over spaghetti noodles. I used their website to order and picked up to take home for an evening in. Service was quick, easy, and the order was packaged up nicely for transport as I live 24 miles away. I will state as others as if you are looking for a meal in - ambiance of the place is very low key, it's nothing crazy visually but the food is definitely a win! Also added in some photos from previous visits to show other delicious options!

This location in Sioux Falls was packed thanks to Mother's Day. Fortunately, we got there just as the lunch rush was winding down. Unfortunately, that didn't help much. It took a while to get seated, and service was super slow -- like really slow. It seemed to take forever for someone to take our order and for the food to come out. The food itself was delicious. The baked mushrooms were good, and the garlic tilapia was amazing. However, the eggplant parm was on another level. Absolutely stole the show. Just a word of caution: the leftovers don't heat up particularly well, so bring a big appetite. Would definitely return if I'm back in the area and hoping the service is better next time.
