Customer Reviews

We went as soon as they opened for our anniversary dinner, and it was amazing! The place filled up quick, the server was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was wonderful. One of the most real experiences we've had around Monroe in a while, good people and great food. Such a homey atmosphere, already planning our next visit.

The quaint, vintage, homey Italian place we never expected to find in Louisiana! If you go, be prepared for some classic American Italian down home dishes. You're walking into the everyday grandparents house to have a pinched cheek and good food. They still make their own meats from scratch.

Love this place. It's a Monroe classic. Great food and a fair price. The atmosphere is out of this world when the weather is nice and you can eat outside on the patio.

My boyfriend and I went there to have a night out together. We decided to sit out on the patio instead of inside. it was almost dark when our waitress took us to our table. I order the Shrimp Primavera and my boyfriend order the Visit with Italy. We loved our waitress, can't remember her name, but she was a hoot
