Had dinner there with another couple we all enjoyed everything from the appetizers to our espressos. Only complaint my wife said the fish was a little bland. I had chicken franceses which was incredibly delicious. Rice balls and calamari appetizers were also delicious!

An early dinner on Tuesday. First time eating at this location. We ate at their previous restaurant. Seated right away. Only one other couple here now. Yep plenty of parking out front they are an end unit to the north of Winn Dixie. My wife had the fusilli pasta with meatballs after a garden salad with house dressing. I had soup and Chicken Francese (lemon butter parsley sauce) which was very good. Joe Joe took excellent care of us. They bring out a bread basket nice and hot. Nice way to start the meal. So for us a 4. Just didn't care for the taste of their homemade tomato sauce it was good but like it a bit sweeter. Some previous reviews recommend getting their vodka sauce. Definitely worth a try.

Stopped here for lunch and it was really good. I had the eggplant parm which I thought was as good as it gets - eggplant without a huge cap of mozzarella, just enough. I think it had some ricotta as well, which made it creamier - almost lasagna-like. It came with pasta and the red sauce was rustic with some chunks of tomato. My wife had the flounder which she really liked - they made it without breadcrumbs for her. Service was friendly and prompt, there are tables for about 50-60 people; when we were there were maybe four other diners, so I can't comment about noise. I'm giving it five stars because what we had was a home-run and the overall experience was quite nice - it's reminiscent of small family-run restaurants serving quality food, which are unfortunately disapearing as chains dominate many local dining options. We will definitely be going back.

The restaurant is a bit out of the way from downtown Jacksonville but I think it's worth a drive/ They have ample parking and the restaurant itself is quaint and quirky.i was told the restaurant has been around the St Augustine area for 2decades but in different locations before moving to the current place 4 years ago. Our waiter was knowledgeable and made good recommendations. The food tasted great and had a homemade feel. The pasta was al dente. The portions were huge so if you are not a big eater, you can share with a friend. The tiramisu tasted different from what I've had in the past. I could taste the mascarpone cheese as the dominant ingredient over the chocolate / coffee. The food tasted like authentic Italian fare. Worth a trip to try it yourself!

Would give 6 stars if I could. The dinner meals were excellently prepared and savory, coming from family recipes. The prices are on the higher end, but the dinner plate sizes are rather large and could easily be split between two people. Recommend every dish we ate- artichoke sensation salad, pasta garlic and oil with broccoli, michelina's eggplant (fried well without the breading), chicken parm, shrimp scampi (well balanced butter lemon flavor), mozz caprice, crepes florentine (sauce had very flavorful buttery cream sauce and rich cheese blend inside), zuppa de' pesce (lovely presentation), fried calamari (crisply fried, tender, tentacles and rings). Staff is conversational, friendly and great with kids.

Food was superb and this was our 4th time eating here and again we were not disappointed, service was excellent and our server was great, the atmosphere is always cozy and a great way to spend the eveningwith a loved one , enjoyed a bottle of wine , had the rice balls as an appetizer,then had sausage and peppers as my entree, finished off with canolas.

OMG!!! If you want the best in Italian cuisine and at decent price with a unique decor and probably the most awesome waitress in St. Augustine this the place!!! Service A++ food quality A++ most importantly the taste!!! A++ I could not find anything wrong with this place. Yes it on the end of Winn Dixie but this place will not disappoint!! Carrie is the main server there and will take care you and will have knowledge of all the dishes. The eggplant is to die for also the bread a sauces too. And the homemade dessert!! This a no Brainer in my book!! Do yourself a favor and check it out!!!
