Our reservation was for 6pm, and we weren't seated until 6:30. Not great but ok. I'm not sure what happened, but it seemed there was some miscommunication between the host and the server... it took awhile before anyone even came to the table. By the time we got our food it was 7:40pm- over an hour after we were seated. I watched the party that was sat before us get their checks around this same time. Now, I understand things happen. But the worst part was the costumer service, or lack of. I mentioned our delay to the owner, he brushed me off. I then spoke with the kitchen manager who continued making excuses, despite me pointing out what she was doing. I got the sense she didn't hear anything I said. Some of the worst customer service I've experienced.Such a shame, because the food was actually decent and if they had been more professional and handled the situation better, I would have been a return customer.

Time is different here. 1 minute equates to 15. Waited about 15 minutes just to put in a drink order. Lemonade was good. Snow ball martini was nasty. No bread until we got our salads. Bread. Garlic knots. More like garlic NOTS. First bowl was hard and stale and cold. Replacement order was warm and undercooked and tasteless. The salads were eh. The food was mediocre at best. The service was terrible. We waited almost 2 hours for mediocre food, A person who could have been the manager did do a good thing for us and took 50 percent off the meals and offered desserts. Won't be back. Have to add a star. Don't believe it.

This is easily the worst restaurant I have been to in this area. When we were seated we were immediately given a bowl of French fries.(the ketchup was already on the table). They serve stale pizza, freezer burnt ravioli, and a "dessert" pizza that was covered in nonfat dry milk powder. There's nothing but cheap unhealthy carbs, you'll feel bloated and sick when you leave

The food in general is very athletic and the server are very knowledgeable. I had Lasagna and my wife had eggplant rollatini and both were first class. I also had their Cannoli which was fantastic. This is a very good place to eat.

This place only disappoints when they are booked up and there's a wait. It's been delicious every time and the service is great once you get past the host booth. For some reason the lady at the front desk t is so rude I don't understand but I guess with food like theirs they can afford to have a viper at the front lol. Please lady let me in when I come back hahahaI really loved that the waitress kept refilling my Prosecco I was so tipsy and had such a lovely night with my husband. The escargot could be better. It's basically drowning in butter and a few mushrooms. I hope it's not a frozen dish and they can find a pesto or something else to do to it. I love it but that is a miss for me. Every dish we have had here is pretty good and it's been our first choice for Italian.

I have been wanting to try this Lutz staple for years and I finally got my chance. It's an Italian restaurant that has been open for over 30 years. That's a pretty amazing feat in the restaurant industry. It's wonderful to have a restaurant that's not a chain in the Lutz and Wesley chapel area. Very family oriented. We started with the bruschetta: Buffalo Mozzarella over arugula with fresh tomatoes, olives and balsamic glaze. It was very tasty but the bread was a bit hard for my liking. For my main dish, I had the Mari E Monte: veal scallopini topped with scallops and shrimp in a lemon butter sauce. It had good flavor overall. Francesca, our server was very good. The servers have their photos on the menu, so that's a testament to how long they have been at this restaurant and the lack of turnover which is very inspiring. Overall a very nice dining experience.
