I'm so glad we believed all the great reviews and came here. It was fantastic service and absolutely delicious food. Our party of six had the Mangiamo Familia which includes spaghetti and an 18 inch pizza with salad and we were stuffed! The staff is very attentive. Make a special evening perfect.

A group of us between 20 and 30 strong go EVERY weekend. THE best place in San Felipe to eat, drink, be merry and dance to live music. Excellent food, great live music, superb service and a perfect ambience!! And very reasonable.

We were there for live music and enjoying the bar. We ordered the garlic bread rolls, and a meatball. Great food! Br aware, and not a complaint from me, they cover the bread in garlic! So yummy! The music was a group of local guys. Nothing great, but still live music. Bar is clean, well stocked, and good drinks.
Great food and maybe one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The place super cozy service was good and it has a nice bar area.

My daughter and I ate here last night. As a lover of Italian food , having been to Italy and many fine restaurants, I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant!!!!! The owner is from Italy of course !!! And he knows how to make authentic Italian food. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan with a side of spaghetti and marinara sauce and let me tell you !!!! that marinara sauce was the most delicious tasting authentic Italian sauce that I'm crying right now because I wanted to get some to go ( next day) and he doesn't open until 3:00 pm and we're leaving San Felipe. My daughter ordered the pasta with huge large shrimps and we also ordered the Italian salad which had the perfect dressing and these garlic rolls to die for. We had a nice chat with the owner chef he was a delightful man and at the end of our meal he brought us 2 delicious housemade lemoncello. As we are leaving today I can only say that I wish I had discovered this restaurant 4 days ago as I would have ate every meal here. The staff were great and this is by far my most favorite restaurant from traveling all over the world and I will try to find a way to get back to San Felipe if only to eat here as much as possible. Much thanks to the chef and staff and everybody else. Ciao!!

The food was delicious and well prepared. The service was the best I’ve received in town. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Everyone spoke English and I was trying to practice my Spanish. I’m a vegetarian and it was easy to convey. There was a really great band too! So much fun!
