Wow is a great word to sum this place up. However since I should be more detailed... We wanted some good food, we were on the fence about pizza. So we decided to come here after checking the menu online. The atmosphere is chic but also not too fancy that you feel intimidated. The decor is really nice. Staff are friendly and have great recommendations. We opted for the calamari & bruschetta appetizer platters. Very good. I got the jumbo cheese ravioli with the vodka sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SAUCE. he got the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese. We split a chicken parm breast on the side for some protein. And of course. Tiramisu dessert to share. This was the BEST Italian meal I’ve had in a long time. The ravioli tasted homemade. The sauce was phenomenal. All of it was perfection. This was a 10/10 experience. You will not be disappointed. Also plenty of free parking. This place is tucked away inconspicuously.

This is the best and most delicious Italian food I have ever had. Their chef is amazing! The restaurant is romantic and quiet, the waiters are friendly but not intrusive.

We came in with a party of 9 and the service and accommodations were great. Almost all of us ordered different things and not one complaint. Food was delicious and prices were about what I expected. Will definitely be back soon!!

Excellent Italian experience in Grand Junction... Fettuccine Alfredo tonight was delightful...rich, creamy sauce with perfectly cooked, slightly al dente pasta... delicious. And their garlic bread is "too die for" yummy. Great bar with wine or liquor...Josh, Zach, Cheyenne, Aubrey any of them will take extraordinary care of you. Don't miss this hidden gem in Grand Junction...close to the Airport!

Was just in Grand Junction for a work trip and saw this restaurant on my way to my hotel. I love Italian food so I had to stop in and try it. It did not disappoint. This family owned business is fantastic! Great food, service, and atmosphere. My waitress, who happened to be the owners daughter (didn't catch her name) surprised me, as I told her to, with something on the menu as I am not picky. Well she surprised me with the Buffalo Marsala Ravioli. O. M. G. It was soooo good! When I am back in GJ, I will definitely be stopping by again! Oh and the Italian Margarita was great too.

Ordered pizza to go while traveling down I-70. Best tasting pizza I've had in a long time! It was ready in 20 min. Perfect for long drives. The fresh ingredients were incredible! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!

My husband and I were on vacation, and our hotel was walking distance to the restaurant. We also saw this was the place with the best pizza. We were not disappointed. The service was great, and so was the pizza. We ordered the medium supreme pizza (which was huge) along with a house salad. Delicious. We took the tiramisu with us for dessert later. It was wonderful as well. We will definitely come back again when we are in the area.
