Now,THAT'S Cioppino!Who puts a WHOLE lobster tail in?! They do! The All meat Cannolini was fantastic! The sauces are Fresh! Best home cooking Italian style! Love these small places. Soup was outstanding! The House salad was simple yet delicious and refreshing with the lemon and olive oil! The atmosphere could use some warmth, very bright inside,but don't let that stop you. Italian music playing was pleasant. Desserts were superb!

I had the gluten free Fettuccine Alfredo and was delighted. I don't think this is an option anywhere else in Reno/Sparks. My husband had chicken parm, which he said was also delicious. One day later I am not sick. The servers were lovely and helpful. The only other gluten free option was lasagna. I will try that next time. This is an authentic Italian restaurant, so the flavors are different from Americanized versions.

Had an incredible dinner here tonight. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. The food here is light, not think or chunky and full of flavor. It was a real treat. Having traveled to Italy several times I am Very pleased with what we ate. I would pick this place hands down over those other chain Italian restaurants. We will be back for sure! Thank you for making our night!!

What a delight! Little Italy right here in Reno! Enough cannot be said. Atmosphere wonderful. Perfect for a romantic date or a casual lunch. Owner is from Italy. Very gracious and kind. Staff is as well. Service is beyond compare. And the food...where do I start? Fresh made pasta. Guessing all fresh ingredients from the flavor. Straight from heaven. Soups and salads are out of this world. Each and every entre is handmade Italian deliousness. In my experience THE best Italian restaurant in town. Maybe the state? Check out the mushroom ravioli. Won't be disappointed. Forgot to mention. Check out taking home dinners and sauces.
