    We always love coming here. The food is excellent, and the wait staff are knowledgeable and friendly. If you can’t travel to Sardinia, this is the next best thing.

    We love this neighborhood gem owned by Sardinian Francesco Farris. My favorite is the sea bass/branzino baked in salt - makes it so tender and moist! Caprese is my favorite starter.

    The food was outstanding, especially the bolognese, meatballs and eggplant! The service was also fantastic! By far the best Italian food we’ve had in Dallas for a long time, we can’t wait to go back!!!

    The food was solid and the server was excellent. The patio was almost empty and we asked to be seated there but were told it was booked. After nearly two hours, no other guests showed up. While I understand the desire to balance seating with the various servers, the restaurant was not busy and could have easily accommodated our request. Unfortunate…

    One of the hidden gems on Lover’s Lane! It’s quaint and very unsuspecting. If you know, you know. If you don’t, you’ll drive right by it and will miss out! Food is authentic Italian and delicious. The owner was very welcoming.
