The mushroom soup was simply great – fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to our meal. The pizza was equally impressive, boasting a rustic yet perfectly balanced combination of sauce, cheese, and meat. The highlight for me was the incredibly thin and light crust a true testament to authentic Italian pizza.

For our main courses, my husband thoroughly enjoyed his salmon steak which he described as being cooked to perfection. My choice, a generous bowl of pasta with marinara sauce and seafood, was equally satisfying. The dish was packed with an ample amount of fresh fish and the marinara sauce struck just the right balance of tangy and sweet.

To conclude our Italian feast, I indulged in the strawberry cheesecake gelato This dessert was not only a visual delight with its beautiful presentation but also a delicious and refreshing end to a wonderful meal.

What it needs is someone who knows and cares about the restaurant business.

Sunday morning update. What a nice surprise. We were greeted by the hostess, Maria. She is a welcomed sight. We know her from previous visits and she remembers us. Friendly and attentive. Maria demonstrates genuine care and professionalism.

The buffet is almost back to the pre-COVID buffet. My omelette was prepared exactly as I asked. Great attitude and smiles.

Since I believe that there is always room for improvement, my I suggest that one of the two outdoor seating areas be reserved for non-smoking. Thank you.

Update 24 April 2023. Stopped in for lunch. I wanted the Piatto Formaggi. Before I could place my order the server interrupted saying “sorry, we don’t have Camembert or Gorgonzola” Two of three cheeses I intended to order. May I make a suggestion? Send someone to Ranch Market and buy the cheese....
