Came for a casual weekday dinner, was not expecting date night portions and flavor.Had the grouper piccata on veggies (I'm gluten-free); the sauce, the portion, just wow.Everything was wonderfully prepared; the grouper was offered as a special and I'm usually wary of grouper because it is so easy to turn it into fishy rubber, but went all out and it was absolutely worth it.Peeps at my table had the tortellini Alfredo, reported to be delicious, and the Mediterranean chicken, which I tried and was also amazing.It all looked too good and forgot to take pictures, but will next time because there will FOR SURE be a next time.

We were greeted immediately, seated as soon as available, and the ambiance was completely charming. Three for three! Our pepperoni pizza was fresh and outstanding. Recommend highly.

I ordered take out from Casa Dora and it was amazing! The man who helped me at the bar was so friendly and welcoming. The home made Alfredo sauce was thick creamy and delicious. I couldn't even wait to take a picture before I took a bite of their awesome garlic bread. I don't visit Jacksonville much but I'll be sure to come back here next time I'm in town!

The food was fresh, flavorful and the service was quick and accurate. We stopped in prior to see Chris Botti for a pre-show dinner so the meals were predetermined and a quick grab and sit down style. The owner was very accommodating and willing to mix it up when asked if the entree desired wasn't in the lineup. We enjoyed our meals and then headed straight the Florida theater. Highly recommend, especially if you're heading to a show!

I scanned a lot of the other reviews, both good and not-so-good, and I pretty much agree. Hasn't been long enough to see what the credit card is charged with - one worrying complaint, but we had a great overall time. It's quirky, old-school, a true hole-in-the-wall, and unexpected. I doubt there are many more places like this left in McAmerica. For that alone, it's worth a visit. The chef and house staff were all friendly and attentive. Food was tasty, and yes, salty, but not enough to keep us from cleaning our plates. Prices weren't posted so we really weren't sure what the bill would be. BUT, after having trouble finding a dinner spot downtown that wasn't understaffed or completely busting at the seams, we were grateful to find this spot at all. There were plenty of locals dining, but not packed and not too busy to provide attentive staff. Very kind to our kid. Give it a try. And say yes to the cheesecake!

We called ahead to see if we needed a reservation and they told us to come on by. Upon arriving, we thought it was going to be your basic Italian food. WOW! We were pleasantly surprised. Fantastic service. Homemade food that was to die for. I wanted to clean my plate but I had to leave room for dessert. I chose the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake that she had just made. yummy. We will definitely be back.

When you crave an authentic Italian dining experience, look no further than this hidden gem in Downtown Jacksonville! The moment we walked in, we were embraced by the warm and inviting atmosphere, and the service was top-notch. The food? Absolutely divine! Each dish was crafted with love and care, and it showed. Kudos to Freddie, Sam, and Angie for creating a little piece of Sicily in Jacksonville for 31 years and making us feel right at home last night for our 9 year Anniversary dinner Our new La mia famiglia and favorite Italiano Ristorante in Jacksonville. By the way for all the people that say service was slow, eating at a quality Italian restaurant is not fast, it's an experience. Figure on a two to three hour feast! Don't rush, take time and enjoy!
