Stopped at this place for some pizza on our way home. The service was impeccable. Our server, Bailey, was attentive but not cloying.
We had $4 Old Fashions (a Friday special) that were fantastic. They were so delicious that I had 2!
We did have an appetizer, mozerella sticks, which were served hot and prior to our meal with a chunky sauce that was good.
But, by far, the star of the show was the fresh bread and pizza! The bread was warm and crusty with just the proper amount of crunch. Paired with the olive oil it was delicious!
The pizza was amazing with a lightly charred crust that was light and airy with a perfect proportion of sauce to cheese.
We will definitely return!!!

What an amazing experience!
I enjoyed my gluten-free pasta (Cacciatore di Pollo) with a fresh salad, and a fabulous sangria (or two).
The atmosphere is quiet and romantic.
Our server and host were fabulous. We wish we had "Little Italy" in our area!

We were very impressed with the food. The salad was great. Enjoyed their bread. I had a seafood alfredo dish that was very good. I would definitely recommend this place. Was surprised there was such a good place to eat for Italian food in a small town like portage

Excellent Italian food!
My wife and I had our first date here. We come back every year and have never been disappointed!
I recommend the veal parmesan and my wife recommends the chicken fettuccine alfredo.Alfredo.
This time, I got the hot honey chicken parm and it was quite good as well.
