It's a fabulous authentic Italian culinary experience! We enjoyed a 2001 vintage Tuscany Merlot - that was off the charts. The dining experience is truly European where you take your time to enjoy the meal. Thank you Michael - what a gem!

Mediocre food that is overpriced. For what we paid, I expected better. My husband's veal was odd, the egg batter overtook the dish, and was not executed well. My seafood pasta was bland and lacking much seafood. Seemed like every dish came with broccoli on the night we were there, judging by the looks of the plates I saw delivered to other tables.

This is the Italian place Delray has been waiting for. The food is amazing. Had beef carpaccio that was out of this world. Sampled entrees from the menu and specials and all were excellent. Don't let the simple menu deceive you, everything that comes out of the kitchen is delicious and done right. Don't see anything you like on the wine list? Just ask. They have a lot more bottles that aren't listed and are fabulous. We enjoyed an amazing super Tuscan and pino Grigio. Please give it a try. It was very quiet the night we went and I would hate to see something this great fail.

Intimate setting for a cozy Italian dinner..great service and a talented wait staff that serenaded our party of five...Fresh vegetables and a wonderful bread basket..mussels were a challenge to eat but the amazing homemade tomato sauce made up for it!! A more varied dessert menu would be a welcome addition.. Check out this Delray Beach gem!!

Over priced average food. Undercooked vegetables and poorly executed entrees. Not a good experience. This restaurant is new to Delray. It needs some focus and better tasting food.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
