Fillip was an amazing server. Took great care of us. The fried artichoke hearts were absolutely amazing! The garlic knots outstanding, and that’s before we got our meals.  I had shrimp, scallop and lobster pasta and could barely get through half. 100% would recommend this place.

My friend picked out this place. It's located a couple blocks off of Duval Street. It's a classic Italian restaurant with your favorite dishes. The wine list was quite impressive for a small establishment. I chose a bottle of the Amarone from Italy. Superb!

Our waiter, Fillip, from Montenegro was excellent. He was very attentive, friendly, funny and efficient.

The food... Absolutely delicious. I'm a huge meatball connoisseur and these did not disappoint. They fell apart in your mouth and the sauce was delectable.
I've included a lot of photos of the different dishes as there were five of us. The pasta is al dente and all of the sauces were savory, buttery and creamy. The chicken piccata was amazing and I could cut it with a fork.
I highly suggest this hidden treasure! 💕🍷👌

The reviews did not disappoint. Small and quaint like a cafe in Italy. The lasagna was amazing. The bread and olive oil with fresh garlic, amazing caesar salad, veal picatta, and wine we're all on point. Phillip was our server and was accommodating and attentive. Definitely 10/10.

The food, service and above all the atmosphere were incredible. We were looking for a date night restaurant, although there are several good places in Key West, this offered a quiet romantic place to eat. And that is hard to find here. Our server Philip was friendly, attentive and was genuinely interested in us as patrons. Try it you will not be disappointed.

If we could do dinner again, we would not come back. Everything was mediocre and underwhelming.

We arrived here on a Sunday night and it was dead. There was only 1 other table dining here. A very silent meal here as it was pretty quiet. We walked in and what seems to be the owner, just sat behind a counter, looked at us and didn't even acknowledge us. No greeting. Someone else came over to us and sat us at a table. He became our waiter and was our service for the remainder of the night.

We used the Yelp check in for the free bruschetta. It looked tasty. It was okay. But something anyone can piece together at home. I would've not been happy if I had to pay for it. We ordered 2 pasta dishes. One was the linguini with clams on white sauce. The other was the alfredo pasta with chicken. The chicken was terrible. No seasoning whatsoever. The alfredo pasta was plain with no color. All cheese. The linguini with clam sauce was very thick. It didn't live up to our pasta expectations.

We paid our bill and left. Getting up and leaving, the owner again did not greet us goodbye or bother to acknowledge us.
