    Elk cannelloni very good. Seafood lasagna all about pasta and cheese-very little seafood. Service was excellent.

    We really wanted to love it but in the end we were disappointed in the food and the price for the food quality. Service was excellent but it just couldn’t make up for the food. The bread was probably the highlight of the evening which is t exactly what you want to hear about a restaurant…

    The restaurant was pretty empty, the service was extremely slow. The garlic bread and mozzarella sticks we’re good.. Caesar salad was good. I sent back my gnocchis and my sons food was incorrect. We were there for almost 2 hours on a Tuesday night with only 3 other tables

    The calamari and bread were excellent. My martini was great. I ordered the fish special, and the fish was over cooked. The risotto was extremely salty. I sent my plate back and got seafood lasagna, which was also too salty. The other two people at my table were also underwhelmed with their dinners. It was a disappointing Mother’s Day meal that was very expensive.

    Second time for us at this restaurant. The food is prepared fresh and is excellent! There's good variety on the menu. The service is excellent, too. My wife tells me that the lunch menu is also very good. The restaurant is located on the east side of Fort Collins, so it's a great choice for Italian food with a short drive for those living there.

    The food was very tasty, as always, though the fish in the seafood lasagna was a tad overcooked. The kitchen was pretty slow, which was a disappointment. It was not as good an experience as we are accustomed to having there.

    THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT- STUFFED MUSHROOMS AND MOZERELLA STICKS OUT OF THIS WORLD. ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING ON US AND VERY SLOW SERVICE- WAITRESS WAS VERY APOLOGETIC ABOUT BOTH ISSUES- NOT HER FAULT

    We came when the restaurant opened. It said opened but the doors were locked. On line it took reservations at 4:00 but the sign near the door said opened at 5:00. The sign near the road said happy hour 4-6. They need to get it together. We had to knock on the door to get in. Then the bar tender was our waiter. He forgot the appetizer. Then I asked for more sauce because I had dry pasta and had to ask a second time for it. He was apologetic for the appetizer and comped a drink but you’d think he’d follow through with the sauce after that. It was my first time. I’d suggest they let the bar tender do just that or be a waiter. He was very nice but had too much going on. I would try it again but if the service was the same I wouldn’t be back.

    We enjoyed our dinner. Portions were good size. Presentation was lovely. Service was exceptional. Everyone thought their food was very good. The ambience is great, beautifully decorated and felt high end. Wine list very good also, although we would have included a Sangiovese. We will go go back.

    We were searching for a new Italian place since both the other local Italian places have closed. The food was delicious. The wine selection was excellent. The waiter was a bit forgetful here and there, but he tried to make up for it by not charging us for one of the items. And he apologized. We will be back.

    First time here and chose it based on the variety of the menu and the availability of a table for dinner on Easter Sunday. We were the second group to be seated as the restaurant had just opened for dinner. The meal was fine, although quite pricey for apps, and pasta. However, the worst part was the service. Unbelievably slow service and horrible communication. We were the second group to arrive and had to wait an hour for our entrees. Then we were finally told that the kitchen was slow due to staffing on the holiday. They took nothing off my bill to reconcile our disappointment, although I didn't ask for anything off. I usually give a restaurant a second chance, but I will not give this one a second try because the service and poor follow up after we expresses our displeasure.

    We really like the food but the 4-5 times we've been there the the service is always so slow, they are under staffed which is hard. The prices are high enough to warranty a complimentary salad to go with the meal not just bread. We like the food but not sure we can do a 2 hour dinner very often. I hope things turn around for them.

    With lunch reservations our table for 5 was set to go! Seafood lasagna and traditional lasagna was delicious. Also received a choice of 2 kinds of salad, which was on the large size with lots of goodies in it, and warm homemade Italian bread with each meal. For my bday I received either a free glass of wine or a dessert. Had the Italian crème cake which was out-of-this-world! ValPak and the back of Safeway receipt have coupons for 20% off entire ticket or 2/1 entree at this time we didn’t have a coupon, but received 20% off by the manager/owner? I plan to go back in a week!

    Had the veal and appreciated a lot that you can have veal in an Italian restaurant in America. Now the recipe is maybe a little too American (too much sauce) and not enough Italian. Overall good.

    Has slipped some since last visit a few months ago. One server for entire restaurant, he’d come out of kitchen and then disappear for long periods of time; was he cooking meals too? Fortunately restaurant wasn’t extremely packed but service was not up to expectations. Good Food quality and portion size, but lacking that special something we noticed last visit.

    We enjoyed our meal from start to finish. We’re so glad we found this place as we have been missing some classic Italian dishes in our lives. The stuffed mushrooms are a delight as was the Caesar Salad. The Eggplant Parmesan was cooked to perfection with a crisp crust served with a very pleasing red sauce/marinara, I asked for extra on the side. And, the bread, don’t the bread and be careful not to make a meal out of that alone. This combined with either their herb garlic butter or oil and vinegar is something you won’t want to miss. Jerrick, our server, and the rest of the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to go back. (Sorry there aren’t more photos- the food was too good, we forgot to take pics ;)

    Where to start? The wait was long, 2 hours to have a full meal. The service was average, apparently because we weren’t ordering alcohol we weren’t interested in drinking anything but water. With a reservation we still had to wait ten minutes before we could be seated because there wasn’t anyone at the front to greet us. For the money I found the food to have average to above average flavor but generally lacking in what I would call wow factor. My food was extremely spicy, an old trick to cover up bland flavors. My wife’s food had flavor, but for what her single plate cost she could have got the same tasting frozen dinner for four. For our two hour experience the seating was uncomfortable and hard, and for our wait I have to say that our meals weren’t that complex or exciting. It wasn’t a horrible experience but I think I’ll be taking my dollars somewhere else.

    The service was unimpeachable. Great staff! The food however was not yummy. My first dish was chicken Florentine. The chef neglected to strain the water out of the pasta. So my poor little chicken needed little arm floaties. The replacement dish was the Ribeye Steak which was good and I finished it, but it was quite over cooked.
