It's a gem of Italian fine dining tucked in Pearl Kai shopping Plaza. It's a little dark and cozy, spacious little place. Didn't reserve and still had enough for 5 easily around 530p on a Wednesday night no less. Food and service was great. Free bread , highly recommend and they even gave us a free cheesecake and helped sing due to a birthday .

Delicious Italian food in a quaint little area. best to come around 4 :30 where it’s not too busy yet. They give fresh warm bread as an appetizer and the prices are fairly priced as well as the portions.The staff are very friendly and is very good with refilling your water.

My wife and I have been coming here for 10+ years, and the food and service are always awesome. I always get the shrimp sorrentino, and it never lets me down. The prices range from the low 20s to the high 20s, but the portions are worth it.

Excellent food matched by excellent service. Not heavy seating or loud noises. Ambiance is intimate for parties of two or more. Parking is plenty, and the location is across from Pearlridge Downtown-side, in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. And the prices are half of the cost of "those other guys."

Very nice Italian restaurant. Good selection of food. The only negative is that the waitress seemed to be rushing us to order and didn't get our orders correct. It's because she seemed like she was rushing. The man who was also working there was very nice. After they corrected my order, the woman seemed to be a little friendlier. They were very attentive and kept refilling our waters. The food was ok. The bread appetizer is delicious served with warm butter. The bread is warm and soft. Prices are ok. Atmosphere is very pleasant, comfortable and peaceful with relaxing music playing.

Super tasty food. They serve you bread with butter! Servings were large, enough to eat to feel full and then take some home. The bell pepper and homemade sausage was soooo good. The sausage was crumbly and so tasty. Homemade tiramisu was delicious. Didn’t feel like you were inside of a strip mall center.
