Service= amazing! Calamari = delicious! Pizza and pasta = the best in Memphis! Seriously, the best meal. We have had the steaks, pasta, chicken parmesan and the fish! We keep coming back because it’s consistently fabulous! Even the bread - so good!

Beautiful restaurant. I went with my best friend for the first time. I wanted authentic Italian cuisine and this did not disappoint. Everything was beyond delicious. I ordered the asparagus bisque and the chicken ravioli. The cream in the ravioli was such a different and welcoming flavor. Definitely exceeded my expectations. My friend ordered the spaghetti and ravioli and also enjoyed her meal. Our server, Tiffany, who says she’s been there 3 years was amazing. Top tier customer service. I’ve eaten at many restaurants and this is definitely a top 3. The prices match that of “similar” restaurants like Ruth Chris or Stoney river but the food far surpassed what I’ve had at other “high end” places and is actually worth the price. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Very busy when I went but still great service. Loved the ambiance and music playing. I started with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, they also had one from California if you prefer that. Then order the seasoned loaf of bread that is precut in slices for you and served warm. It’s called Pane All’aglio. Then I got the ceased salad. They make the dressing in house. It was super yummy! For my main course I ordered the Elfo Special. It had such great flavor! I would recommend the place and everything I ate.

Food was awesome! Tuscan butter was amazing. Our server, Sally was sweet, confident, and took good care of us. Plus they have a few vegetarian/vegan options, which was very helpful. Overall, it was a great experience!

I wanted to try a new Italian restaurant today, so I called to place an order. About three seconds into my order, the woman taking my order asked me to hold. She returned and said the kitchen was closed for an hour due to a catering order. Keep this in mind if you consider trying this place; they close their kitchen randomly and seem unconcerned about small orders if a catering order is placed. Choose wisely. This happened at 2 p.m. on February 1, 2025.

Without a doubt the best Italian you’ll find in Memphis. Romantic atmosphere. Great for a date lunch or dinner. Good thing I don’t live close or I’d be here way too often. Very unassuming front door. Don’t walk past it.

FANTASTIC!!! Incredible memories about the restaurants for this family and tonight was just as great. The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Grabbed dinner here with family the other night and we all ordered the Elfo Special - spaghetti, Alfredo, shrimp, and mushrooms. What an amazing recipe - it’s great all the time. I had the Italian spinach for a side and it was great as well. If you haven’t been here, you’ve got to try it. You will be happy you did.
