It's located just East of the new Black Walnut Café. Wife and kids and I enjoyed going there about two weeks ago. It's a small, quaint place. We had a pizza, calzone and calamari. All very good!. I kind of put it in the same vein as Pane Vino, Grimaldi's (although Grimaldi's pizza is slightly better) & Cavali's (McKinney).
If anyone has not gone to this place, they should at least give it one try!

We liked it very much. We went in thinking it was a pizza place. The owner told us their story and talked us into some of his favorite rustic Italian dishes. We enjoyed our meal and will be back.

We've eaten there a few times and like it. Similar to Pane Vino which we also like.

The accusations on here whenever someone posts something about businesses are getting old! Thanks to the OP for your post. I had not heard of this restaurant and plan to check it out.

Ate there last night. The food was wonderful. Prices a little on the high side but portions are large. Management knows their stuff ... no doubt. He even engaged our kids on their many questions about some of the dishes.

It took about a 2 second search to find out who owns this place and it appears the OP poster is just a fan. We'll have to try it out. Thanks julieanne!

Ignore him ... just another one of his "drive-by" postings.
Edit: Ah ... never mind. Looks like his post is gone.

We tried this restaurant Sat. evening and what a pleasant surprise it is. Their food is not the typical Italian food we find around here. Several dishes have papardelle noodles which we like and the sauces (gravies) are excellent as is the pizza.
The owner was very gracious and probably spent a little too much time with us. You can tell he is very passionate about his restaurant. He even served our bottle of wine and we got a short history lesson about where the grapes are grown. We even learned what "speck" is. Several staff members were being trained and they all did an excellent job.
The only thing we did was go too early. Lots of kids there. That was our fault. The guy playing the guitar and singing kept singing louder because the kids were getting louder so it was kind of funny.
The only suggestion I would have is that they need shades on their windows and something on the ceiling to absorb the noise. Maybe these are already in the works since it is rather new. We will definitely be back.
