    Great Italian food experience. Quiet patio to watch the sunset. Our favorite since first going to Gulios on Thomas St back in the 70’s. It’s been the same perfection for over 50 yrs.

    No words can describe how perfect Italian food tastes. This restaurant is one of those places where I want to go every Sunday family dinner. Some of the best Italian food I’ve had.

    Where do I begin?? My party of 14 had an awesome experience. I had to change the reservation last minute and Jack was so accommodating. The staff was very professional and catered to our every need. The food was insanely good. We barely left anything for the dish washer to clean. The cheesecake!!! Definitely leave room or take to go. I appreciated everything about our experience and would put this place on my top restaurants in Old Town.

    Food was perfect. There were five of us and each person loved their entrée as well as their salads. Their specialties of the house are divine as well as their desserts. Service was great...Cannot say enough great things!
