Had a lovely meal with friends. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Chef made his amazing mushroom soup which is a must order when available! The bread app is also a must order. Big fluffy herbed focaccia served with marinara and olive oil. I’m a bread person and can vouch it was delicious! Service was top notch. All in all an enjoyable dining experience!

Absolutely wonderful experience here! We were excited to try an authentic Italian restaurant near our lake place and we were not disappointed! The chef came out and talked to all the tables which made it very personable and welcoming! The staff was great the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

As a fellow Lake area business owner of multiple businesses myself: I must applaud John and Sherri Buchanan. The authenticity extends far beyond the plate. From their host at the door all the way through Chef John personally making his way to each and every table with the upmost concern of the quality and experience their guest receive; they do not lack in any part in their delivery of a fine, quality, and personal dining experience. Hats off Chef, well done!
