We love ordering pizza from here! Truly amazing quality especially if you are looking for a classic Italian Neapolitan style pizza. The gnocchi is amazing too. We will continue getting pizza from here because it's delicious!

We were greeted right when we walked in by a lovely lady. We were sat quickly. I loved the random decor in here. It was super authentic. We ordered the caprese salad to start. It was fresh with some basil leaves with lots of olive oil and balsamic drizzled. We also asked for a basket of bread that came with olive oil that they had put spices into as well. Love. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. When our food came out. Mine was incorrect with chicken on it. It would've been okay but I currently am not eating chicken. They apologized and asked us to take the mistake home because they did not want to waste food and it would be free of charge. When my dish came - I ate the WHOLE thing. It was delicious. Pasta was definitely made fresh. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. My friends had been here before and wanted to bring me while I was in town - now I know why!! Plus prices were good. I love a good authentic family owned Italian place.

Very cute Italian place with an interesting decor. You will spend at least 15 mins looking at every little knick knack they have displayed. We got the following: impero meatballs: I felt like their texture was different from other meatballs Margherita pizza: light pizza with a wonderful crust. The dough was very good! Lasagna Bolognese: very good as well. Love their meat sauce! My fiance loved the cheese they used I felt the food was delicious and not too heavy (to the point that it would send you to food coma). I will say that they get very busy (we went on Sat night). The pizza came out first and very quickly. The appetizer and the lasagna came much later. The service was good. They're welcoming and I can tell they know that they're very busy and try their best to check in and tend to their customers but just know that some wait will be expected.

Italian food lovers, this place is the absolute best. The owners are from Naples and the chef is from Sicily. The dishes have more of a Naples flair. Everything is delicious. My only negative is I live in League City and it's 45 minutes from my house!! But, on occasion, we make it a point to drive from the coast over to the west side of Houston to the corner of Memorial and Kirkwood to sample more of the deliciousness from their menu. We don't need to have our arms twisted very hard to make this trek. The portion sizes here are more in line with Italian sized portions. Most of them are not large enough to split. But, the good thing about that is each person can order something different and then you can taste each other's food. Not a bad way to go in my opinion. Plus, you then have room for dessert. Bottom line - This is the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy. No joke. Regardless of where you are in Houston, this one is worth the drive. As I always say, bon appétit, y'all. But, in this case, I guess I should say buon appitito, y'all.

Service was great Ambiance is very family diner type Food: pesto pasta with shrimp was delicious, wish there were more than 3 shrimps. It was quite filling, I think I left 2 bites of pasta. Their tiramisu was a 10/10, so delicious.

Legit Italian food by Italian folks! Fun interior with tons to look at. Very popular spot, got really busy even on a Tuesday evening. Their own branded imported wine is tasty and inexpensive. Orders are entered via handheld systems and I believe any server can assist at any time. Food was freshly prepared and came quickly. Portions could be considered small-ish for the price but I would say the quality is worth it. Best bites - 500 fiat, meatballs, calabrese pizza Large shared parking lot
