Hear what our guests are saying about this true Taste of Italy in Frederick. 

Excellent Italian food with generous portions. The marinara sauce is like mom use to make I could not find any flaws. I had the eggplant Florentine .. perfectly cooked. The food was hot when served which is a rarity at most restaurants. The service was great and the homemade lemon cello was fantastic . A hidden Italian gem in Frederick!

One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. We were treated like absolute royalty. The food was amazing. My wife's birthday was recognized with a special birthday treat and authentic Italian Happy Birthday serenading. We look forward to return visits.

The vibe of the place is Old Italy and the music is a mix of 50's/60s Dean Martin, Louis Prima-esque mixed with contemporary and traditional tunes. When we were there, another table had a birthday party going on. The wait staff turned of the overhead music, broke out an accordion and sang Happy Birthday to the patron in Italian -so cool!

Everything we ordered was delicious. The bread was freshly baked, the soup was flavorful, and the pasta was beyond delicious. Pascual, our waiter, was beyond helpful and professional. I would recommend making a reservation.

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing food and service! First time today and so impressed. Highly recommend this place. Our server was so informative and he took great care of us. All of the staff were efficient and very pleasant. The place is clean and well maintained. Pay the extra $6 for the homemade pasta. It was so good. The pizza we got as our appetizer and is now my favorite in the area.

OMG. If you are in the area, this place is a must. Absolutely everything was amazing. Bruschetta is so flavorful and bread was perfectly toasted. I had the chicken romano. Boyfriend had the seafood bake. They put Parmigiano on table side. Plating was beautiful. The house white wine was a perfect addition to both our dishes. They even have someone play an accordion and sing for birthdays. I knew when we walked in and the hostess was Italian that we were in for a treat. Boy was I right.
