“ What a gem!! We come to Canyon Lake often and every time we come I always say we are going to try this place. Well we did today for my partners birthday and wow. Talk about blown away! The food was FANTASTIC! Everything was of exceptional quality and taste. I had the Parmesan Crusted Veal special and let me tell you. It blew me away! We had several dishes off the “specials” menu and they did not disappoint. Our server Caitlyn was just superb! Thank you so much for making our night so great! If you’re in the area, give this place a try! ”
“ First time here. We had a large group with 9 separate checks. Rachel was our waitress and handled everything very well. She has a great sense of humor! We ordered from the lunch specials menu, but the portions were very large (shareable if we had known in advance). The food was great and definitely a do over! ”

“ What a great experience to be able to enjoy authentic Italian flavors and great customer service. These guys have got a good thing going. I highly recommend bringing the entire family or a romantic date night. I highly recommend recommend the eggplant rollatini with a side of meatballs. To top it off the prices are astonishing low for the wonderful food. You won't be disappointed in any way. Enjoy y'all! ”
“ We are from south west area below San Antonio, we wanted to dine at a local place on our little family vacation to Canyon Lake. The food here was great! Flavorful and plentiful! Very happy with dinner service! ”
“ Found this place after a day of hiking around Canyon Lake. Good ambiance. My server Dixy was very friendly. And my food was delicious. Mushrooms stuffed with crab in a white cream sauce, warm fresh bread with oil dipping sauce, lobster ravioli, grilled salmon and veggies tossed in olive oil, a glass of pinot and tiramasu, all outstanding. Will be going back next time im in town. ”
“ What a hidden gem. We were seated rather quickly. (Less than a 10 minute wait.) The waitress, Megan, arrived after just a minute or two for our drink orders. She was an efficient delight throughout the whole meal. The four of us all ordered different menu items and it was all Italian delicious! The house dressing was tangy and a nice compliment to the simple green salad. The bread was fresh out of the oven and was cloud soft and delicious with the garlic oil. I had the lasagna and got to the point where I was continuing to eat simply because it tasted so good.(At which point I stopped eating and asked for a small carry out box.) The prices were all very reasonable. I only scored 4 stars for atmosphere because I think the Sinatra and Martin music could have been a little louder and the lights a little dimmer. All in all a fantastic dining experience with good friends. Did I mention what a delight our server was? Her name was Meg and was a very pleasant person with a sharp wit and she seemed to enjoy interacting with us. ”
