They have become our favorite pizza place. Not only is the pizza outstanding, but the rest of the menu is equally delicious!!! The servers are very nice and personable. The atmosphere is comfortable, quaint, and quiet. This restaurant is highly recommended. Tell them Danny and Cheryl sent you!
As far as I'm concerned and my family is concerned this is still the best authentic Italian in Jacksonville. It is an old building, some may call it a hole in the wall. In her past the atmosphere was very authentic Italian Greenery Vines concrete floors that sort of thing had some Romance. Now it's a tile floor with four-seater tables and chairs. There is plenty of room and it is clean, just not the authentic Italian atmosphere that it used to be. Which is really great because it was very hard to keep it clean. Now you can tell that it's clean. The pizza is Sensational but my recommendation is the baked lasagna. It is just as perfect to take to go as it is to eat inside. Inside they bring you your plates steaming hot beautiful right out of the oven with your salad and endless Italian garlic bread, the tea taste like tea it's delicious. I have never had anything I did not like. However I've never tried anything with the bell pepper cuz I don't eat bell pepper. But if you want something that is normally prepared with something you don't like like bell pepper, if it's possible they'll remove it for you you can have it your way. Now down to the staff. Very Hometown Jacksonville People Southern polite they tell you to have a seat and they'll be with you they wash off your table get your drinks bring your stuff come back as many times as they need to come back. They talk to your children they treat you like a guest. Very hospitable. Always will groomed and pleasant. If you order a to go or a pickup order. The oven baked items come in a foil pan with a lid they give you an entire paper bag full of the French garlic bread and they give you containers of salad all packed very nicely, so that you can eat it right out of the bowl or pop it in your oven again to make it perfect one more time. There's always enough for a little leftover and it's just as good or better the next day. I could probably eat it everyday different choices so many different choices. Each one equally delicious.
I enjoyed myself. Kim was attentive and food came out very quickly. Ordered the sampler which came with lasagna, penne, and a big ricotta cheese blend stuffed shell. Additionally it came with garlic bread and a salad. We’ll take it from least to greatest: the salad was pretty small. The house-made Italian dressing was very nice and mild whereas others might wreck your mouth with the vinegar. The house-made blue cheese dressing didn’t have very much zing to it and reminded me more of a toned down ranch. Still a good dressing for breadsticks/pizza but not really blue cheese in any sense of the word. The penne was a nice al dente. The lasagna was ok but I’m biased against lasagna so I’m sure it was actually great. The cheese bread was nice but not your traditional cheese bread. Soft Italian bread cut into slices and topped with mozzarella and Italian seasoning. Still crispy at the edges but soft in the middle with enough cheese to keep the marinara from saturating it. The garlic bread was thick and fluffy without being greasy or overpowering. The star of the show was the ricotta shell. The cheese blend had that good cheesy funk to it. Really the best thing on the plate. The sauce is pretty decent. Better than what’s in a jar but their sauce’s main strength is how much meat and cheese they incorporate into it. However even with all the meat and cheese it’s still a very mild, light oil sauce. I will be returning to give the pizza a try but the portions for the pasta looked pretty big and I left full with some to go.
