My parents and I ate there while I was visiting them, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious; I had the lobster ravioli and thought it was fantastic. The prices were also very reasonable for an Italian restaurant, and the service was very quick! The space was open so we didn't feel cramped, and the lights were bright enough that we could easily read the menu not always the case with other restaurants who dim the lights to set their atmosphere. We had a great time and will definitely be going back!
The food was excellent, could be compared to olive garden. Our family ordered an appetizer of calamari and was pleasantly surprised by the seasoning, very good. The dipping sauce was just a marinara type, but went well with it. Then we all ordered various pasta dishes and all were very tasty. My husband was a little disappointed that his chicken carbonara had black olives, they didn't fit the flavor, but all other meals were very good. Portion sizes varied, but we did take some home for later. I dropped a star just for the atmosphere. It could use some warmth, not really very cozy and no booth seating that I could see. Also actual warmth, it was drafty and chilly in there. We also had to wait quite a while after getting to-go boxes to get the tab so we could pay and leave. It was an awkward wait. The parking lot is also a bit awkward and small too.
Wife and I have been to this new restaurant twice now, both after Sunday morning Mass and the food is to die for with great prices. We know Italian food since our son in law is a Italian with his mom and dad still in Italy, plus we take several vacations in Italy and have eaten lots of food over there on vacation plus son in laws cooking when we visit them in London England where they live. If you are hungry and want a enjoyable atmosphere a delicious meal this is the place to go. The spinach ravioli is wonderful, I forget my other meal I had there but I remember I told the wife this is real Italian cooking not someone trying to cook Italian. The people are so pleasant so that being said this restaurant is a 10 star restaurant to us. The inside it done up a very nice Italian restaurant just like Italy restaurants. Your missing out if you don't try this restaurant I promise you that you will go back and back again. My hat off to the owners and there fabulous employees. Guaranteed they will need a bigger place once everyone catch on to there fabulous food there. Thanks For The Wonderful Meals And Service. Bob & Maria will see you very soon again. Fort Dodge look out these folks will take off big time.
Very reasonably priced. For just under $8 at lunch got rolls, salad, and a pasta sampler. Price would be a couple $ more at other times. Food was delicious! Great atmosphere, cloth napkins, music playing softly in background attentive waitresses, friendly staff. Best Italian restaurant I have eaten at.
Great food! Authentic Italian, definately made from scratch. Flavors were spot on, and home made meatballs were terrific! Owner was pleasant and helped in our food order, since we are used to eating Italian and are picky in our choices, but were not disappointed! Will definately return!
I have to say this is the best food in Fort Dodge. The inside is calming and beautiful. The food is true Italian food. The service is absolutely wonderful. Great place for a family or a romantic dinner. Please try it you will love it!
The food was delicious, we had the lobster ravioli and the hot shrimp diavolo. The service was lacking, we were not informed of any specials and once we were served our meal the server didn't come by to see if we needed anything or ask if we even wanted a dessert. But the food was very good.
Service is hit or miss. Food is good but a tad spendy. First visit was a comedy of errors in service time. Next to visits had average service. It's a decent Italian restaurant for Fort Dodge scale of food but wouldn't hold up if it were in a more populated area where people have choices.
the worst dining experience...the deep fried breaded calamari was undercooked and rubbery, I've never seen salmon that was more white than pink, and I hope I never do again...or at least I'll know better than to try it. Food was bland and tasteless, the exact opposite you'd expect from an Italian restaurant
Initially surprised this location was no longer a Mexican joint. Service and salad was sketchy but the entrée, chicken Florentine, was so good it made me question wether I was really still in Fort Dodge. Tiramisu was sold out by 7:45 on a Saturday night. I'll be back.
