The waiter was very kind and attentive. The potatoes were delicious, though the cold salad caught us off guard since it was unexpected—it's meant to be served cold, but I'm just a picky eater. Definitely recommend this charming spot for a date night!

The ambiance is lovely, and the waitstaff are outstanding. Although my meal took a while to arrive, it was definitely worth the wait for a fresh, hot dish. I dislike when food sits under heat lamps for too long at fine dining places. Also, be sure to taste your meal before adding extra seasoning—this is authentic Italian cuisine, showcasing true Italian flavors and seasoning.

I visited on a Saturday, and the place was packed, but since I made a reservation, we were seated right away. You can't go wrong with fresh pasta! Our waitress, Stacy, was very attentive even on such a busy night, and she even took the time to light a birthday candle for my friend's dessert. I'm excited to try out the patio on my next visit. I’ve attached pictures of the black linguini with shrimp (spicy), calamari appetizer, and mushroom appetizer.

The three desserts were also enjoyable. If you're in Andersonville, this place is definitely worth a visit.
