The food is superb as is the service. The lovely piano room tends to be quite loud on a busy Saturday night, if you prefer normal conversation opt for the patio or the auxiliary room. Be sure to bring your platinum card and keep your spouse close if you’re not a fan of Marco’s spicy repartee’. One of my favorite local restaurants.

Wonderful restaurant with very attentive staff. Our food was excellent, the veal sorrentino was tender with a rich flavor. The gnocchi with vodka sauce maybe the best I’ve ever had, made in house it was light and fluffy. Definitely the best Italian restaurant in Boca Raton.

The service was especially good. We were on the patio by choice and it was very nice. The food recommendation bt the staff were excellent. The pistachio flavored creme brulee was not my favorite but we chose that item.

Irritating inattentive waitress. Waiter who shared responsibility with her was efficient. Slow service. Clams and fettuccine bolognese were excellent. Chocolate gelato outstanding.

We booked an inside table but the host tried to move us outside and got annoyed when I insisted. Service was slow. We didn’t get a menu for 20 minutes. Food was just ok…. Definitely not worth the prices. There’s lots of other better Italian places in Boca.

We have been in Boca almost 20 years and had dinner at nearly every reputable restaurant in the city. You will simply not get better food anywhere... no matter what you are willing to pay. It's a very comfortable dining room, the best service from veteran staff and a hands-on owner. If you havent been I would make this one of your next reservations.
