“ Great Italian Restaurant! Highly recommend the Calamari, Nonnas Lasagna, and the Gelato! ”
“ Don't let the strip mall location fool you - this is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to ... and that includes a trip to Italy. MAMA MIA! My family puts it in the top TWO overall (that's a wife and four daughters). Where to start? The Alfredo was amazing and the chicken I added was unbelievable. Chicken parmesan? Amazing. Cannoli? Fresh and crisp. Not too sweet. Even the cheese pizza was delicious. And Hannah, our waitress, was excellent with the service. Made great recommendation, kept the water glasses filled, and was pleasant to be around. If we are EVER driving I-75 and transitioning from Florida to Georgia - this place WILL be on the list. ”
“ Glad we found this gem in Valdosta! The ricotta on the lasagna pizza was the best I’ve ever had. It was creamy, fluffy and melted in our mouth. Great homemade pizza with quality toppings. ”
“ Awesome atmosphere, awesome tasty Italian food, and gelato here. I've been coming here for nearly 3 years, even living in another state, and I'm always desired to come when I have that craved for Carlos special recipe cooking since they make it from scratch. I met the owner a few times, he's very nice and hoping he makes it through many more years . ”
“ I ate here for the first time this afternoon and had a very good dinner. I started with a Peroni beer and the server brought out bread and balsamic dip. I ordered the chicken marsala on angel hair pasta. It came with a salad and I had the house made italian dressing. The marsala sauce was the star of the show. It was a dark rich broth with just enough marsala wine for flavor but not too much sweetness. It had plenty of mushrooms and 2 lightly sauteed chicken breasts. I'll bring my wife next time so we can try multiple dishes and something with red sauce. ”
“ My girlfriend and I ate here for the first time the other night. The inside was very nice but not over the top, family friendly. Our server was very nice, informative and helpful since we expressed it being our first time. I also liked seeing the owner out in the dining room serving and clearing tables off. I asked if he was the owner he said yes and was very nice also. The food was good, we ordered the potato croquette, (recommended by our server) which I've never had before it was good with their homemade marinara sauce. My girlfriend ordered the Alfredo with chicken which was good and chicken was tasty and flavorful. I ordered the Italian flag which was also good. I loved the plate presentation each pasta was served in an individual bowl. It's ravioli, cheese or meat, which I got the meat, Alfredo and pesto. It was decently priced to for the amount of food. Would for sure go there again! ”
“ This place was so cute and homey. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing! You could really tell it was all made fresh to order. The Gelato was so good and they let us try different flavors. I also got a cannoli and it's the best I've ever had. Will definitely be coming back again and again! ”
“ My husband and I are frequent customers. We love their pepperoni pizza! The sauce is freshly made, the crust is always crispy, never greasy. We also recommend their absolutely delicious Nonna's lasagna, which includes ham and eggs, very unique recipe, but so yummy! The traditional spaghetti (I recommend the Angel Hair pasta; you have to request it when placing your order) is really tasty as well. ”
