This restaurant, located in a nondescript strip mall in Garland off NW Hwy, is truly a hidden gem…read more The ambience is nothing to write home about, but the food is outstanding. The chef is obviously trained and talented. We went here for dinner on a Sunday because the kid wanted pasta. The menu actually is quite diverse with some Italian, Mexican, vegetarian, meat, burgers, and flatbread. Usually or often when a restaurant tries to do everything it ends up doing nothing well. That is not the case with the Italian that we had here. We started with a Caprese salad and it was pretty standard. The wife had lamb chops and they were cooked perfectly. Great sauce. The spinach and mashed potatoes were also perfect. I had chicken piccata. It was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever had. Chicken was tender and the sauce was excellent. The grilled vegetables were cooked perfectly. We had fruit tart (excellent), cheesecake (excellent) and chocolate cake (excellent) for dessert. We want to come back. If the Mexican is as good as the Italian food, this place is an all-time winner.

The servers never got frustrated or impatient with us. We weren't rowdy but there were a lot of us! Our bread (hot, yummy rolls) was brought out quickly, the orders kept coming for soft drinks and wine. The ladies - one was Kejsi (name on the receipt) were so nice! Someone near me ordered a pizza and it was delicious! so much better than those chains. I ordered my go-to - Manicotti ($12.99). I was pleased to see it wasn't swimming in as much grease as other places. I also had 2 glasses of Cabernet Savignon ($11). Just a heads-up, they tack on a 'non-cash adj' on your receipt - mine was $.84, so not a big deal, but strange. Why not just increase your prices by $1? I recommend trying this place out any time, the booths look comfy and it's a nice, clean place. Good food, prices and service - can't beat it! Can't believe that I didn't take one single picture of the food alone. Every photo has like 10 people in it, so I'll skip the photos this time. Just take my word, it was brought to the table hot, fresh and tasty.

It always makes me feel like I'm back home in a way. I had a glass of Chianti and we started with the focaccia with whipped ricotta. We both chose pasta dishes, I had the spicy gemelli and bestie had the bolognese which he didn't seem to like much but when I tried it I thought it tasted great. I don't care for a lot of meat sometimes so I wouldn't have ordered it as my main but it really complimented the spicy gemelli - perhaps going halfsies would have been a nice option. Service was attentive and our dishes came out fast, we sat indoors beside the bar but the patio could have been a really nice option if you're a patio person. I typically am not. I have yet to find a Dallas Italian spot that I love more than my current no.1 back home (Donna's on Sunset in LA) but this meal was delish and I wouldn't rule out dining here again in the future.
