I have always wanted to try this place, and I finally got the chance and wish I had tried it sooner. If you are looking for a quintessential italian Dine-in or carryout restaurant in the southern part of San Antonio and Floresville region, this is it. The tables were set in a traditional manner with black table clothes. No one was here at the time, and we were sat right away. Our waitress was prompt and excellent. The bread (possibly garlic knots) and oil and vinegar with garlic were a great traditional start while browsing the menu. Mozzarella sticks were good to start. Unfortunately, the calamari was sold out. The marinara is made in-house and perfect. The care in which both the lasagna and stromboli were prepared was noticeable and tasted excellent. Satisfying without being so full we couldnt move, but enough that it didn't leave us wanting more. A must order is the Tiramisu for dessert, which is also made in-house and served as an excellent closing to our first visit. We also ordered a pizza to go (18 inch pepperoni) that was excellent. Traditional New York style thin crust, not to bready and just the right amount of cheese and topping. Every bit about this restaurant was excellent. We have no complaints other than the fact that there was no one else in there. It's good to have something uncommon and not franchised available in these parts. If you have a craving for authentic (or as close as you can get to authentic) italian cuisine, this is a great spot to satisfy that craving. We will...
Read moreGood rolls, mild flavor that goes well with marinara and the shrimp ravioli sauce. I enjoyed the vinaigrette, and the salad is fresh They forgot to include our fried cheese sticks, so I can’t review those. I’m not impressed with the amount of picotti in one serving, but it has a good taste and is surprisingly filling! The chicken parm is very good. A near perfect chicken-bread-sauce ratio in my opinion, and tender flavorful chicken. The fettuccine Alfredo is good, and definitely beats what I could make. The lasagna could do with a little more pasta sheet for the amount of sauce, but it tastes good as well. The shrimp ravioli has a mild taste, and the shrimp is not inside the ravioli. The sauce is nice, and is overall good. It would probably be best to pair with some garlic bread on the side, too.
Update: we got our cheese sticks today! Waitstaff was very nice about it, and the cheese sticks are fresh, delicious, and warm
It’s expensive for the amount of food, but it is all relatively...
Read moreOur experience was alright. I ordered the Crab Meat Ravioli, and it was pretty good. My husband ordered the Spaghetti and a salad. He said the salad tasted dirty, like the lettuce hadnt been rinsed, and the pasta was just alright but he wasn't super impressed, the sauce was bland and pasty. I did like how with the bread, they included the olive oil with chopped garlic and a little balsamic. While the food for me wasnt terrible, the restaurant itself was a little off putting. There were flies and nats flying around, and one of the employees walking around with a flyswatter was not exactly sanitary. We noticed a couple of the table clothes on the tables that were set for new customers were dirty. Our server was friendly but it wasn't very busy and she took quite a while to get back to us. Overall, we probably wouldn't...
