   Minor slip ups: They sat us but no servers apparently knew we were in their section so we eventually caught the attention of a food runner and she said she would get our server. Gave us our bill and I paid using the Sky Table app but then found out I wasn’t supposed to do that (?). Regardless, food was great and the server was apologetic and friendly so it was all good in the end.

   We've eaten here often and are never disappointed. The food is good and the serving staff are superb: friendly, helpful, professional, and efficient. The sound level is just a bit high--but I guess you can expect that in a nearly-full popular restaurant where everyone seems to be having a grand time! The only downside we've ever encountered are those (few) patrons who insist on bringing their very young children--who scream the entire time they are present.

   This was the third time our family has visited and this was the third time the restaurant has run out of items on the menu. Many of the wines on the wine list were not available and our waitress was not sure how to properly pour. They were also out of ice cream for one of their desserts which should not be difficult to fix. The food was really good but it’s frustrating to constantly have a problem with items not being available. We like the food but I’m not sure we will be back anymore.

   Best Italian around Austin area. Ravioli is homemade and perfect. Steaks are of the highest quality. Pizza dough is a dream.

   Great location next to downtown Georgetown. Sat for 15 mins with no contact, not even water for the table, although many servers walked past us and did not acknowledge our requests for attention. I had to flag someone down and then the waitress we got was distracted by another table and delayed in delivering drinks and food. My son ordered a dry martini and got served one dirty, and had to wait an extra 8 minutes for the drink. We arrived at 7:30pm and had our first round of drinks in front of us at 7:57pm. I can’t stress enough how dysfunctional the service felt for our table, but that may have been a unique occurrence. All in all, the food was fantastic, but the vibes were ruined by us constantly looking out for our server to flag her down to actually order things.

   We had an incredible NYE dinner with Christine as our waitress. The food was amazing and at a great value. The wine options were expansive and offered amazing options with various price points. Best Italian I’ve had in Texas you can tell the pasta is fresh and the people who work there enjoy being there. We never felt rushed and the plates were spaced out perfectly. We can’t wait to be back!

   Excellent server and waitstaff. Food was excellent, only negative was the main course came too quickly, didn’t get halfway through my salad! But it was New Years Eve, so not a big deal.

   Outstanding Italian restaurant in Georgetown Texas. If you live here or nearby, you need to visit it. Excellent service, especially Oscar. Food is excellent and served hot by kitchen staff. As you might expect, this level of service and food quality is a bit more expensive, but definitely worth it. Probably only downside is noise level. Our last visit was on New Year's Eve and the restaurant was very busy, so a bit louder than one would want. Even then, service was amazing and food was excellent and served more than timely. Thank you Josh for taking time with us on suggestions for drinks from the bar.

    Oh my! If you’ve never been here you’re in for a treat! Great wood grill food with freshly made pasta and sauces. Our server Christine was awesome. Our friends had a NY strip and it looked delicious. We will be back, soon I hope.
