Customer Reviews

So small surprise spot in Johnson City. The best bread I have ever had in the restaurant in whole country. This is family own and operated by. Cannot forget the experience. Strongly recommended.

Great food, great service. Possibly the best Italian in the Tri Cities. Best we’ve had so far, for sure. A great menu and well above that basic boring same ole stuff you see on most Italian restaurant menus. We’re happy we stumbled upon this hidden gem!

This food is really good. A few years ago I had food poisoning here, but I don’t like to leave a bad review unless I don’t plan to come back. I gave it another go the other day, and it was really exceptional. Friendly and attentive waiter as well. I got the pesto fettuccini which was very garlicky!

THANK YOU HAILEY AND FLO/PHO (forget which one it is, but I’m sure he will know. A person who came into my work suggested this little hole in the wall and I will absolutely be back. First, the staff was so friendly. Hailey was a sweetheart, down to earth super friendly. My guy Flo/Pho recommended some great dishes when I go back when I checked out. Secondly, the food was AMAZING. Best garlic bread(with cheese of course) was the best I’ve ever had and let’s talk about the sauce. SO MUCH SAUCE. I am a light sauce person BUT usually other places don’t give you enough but this place. If you love sauce, go! I got the chicken Alfredo and died when I saw how huge the portion was and how much soft. Delicious chicken and sauce.

absolutely the most authentic Italian place I have eaten in a very long time the house balsamic vinegar dressing for the salad or something. I’ve been longing for for over 30 years. I’ve tasted that 30 years ago and I could never find it and they actually had it I’m from New York and I’m only here for a week, but I definitely will be coming back when I come back next month. The food was very good and it was definitely authentic the best Italian food I’ve ever had best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been in and I’ve been everywhere and our waitress Haley was an absolute gem. She was awesome. I definitely recommend this place.
