“ Wow!! During a long return trip home north with my husband, we started "Googling" for Italian restaurants. This caught our interest and, being adventurous sorts, we decided to take the out of the way drive to try them. Omg!! We are SO happy we did! First, understand Google map directions sucks. Look for the Gratiot Place, plaza type sign. They are located in a strip mall. But the food! SO fresh and well made! The service was exemplary! Nico was at the top of his serving game, was upbeat and we thoroughly enjoyed him. Chris, the cook, really presented the food well and is enjoyable to talk to. The menu isn't very extensive but it definitely had the more unique dishes. If you're an adventurous sort, you'll enjoy it but if you're a traditional restaurant food menu sort, it might seem a little crazy for you. They are currently allowing dine in, along with take out and curbside. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try! ”
“ I've had the pleasure of eating here three times so far and I'm sure I will be back. Food has been great every time and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone. ”
“ The waitress was prompt and attentive. The food came out quickly and was absolutely genuine and delicious. The bread sticks homemade and make Olive Garden's seem like eating pencils. A little unknown gem. ”
“ I didn't know such a great little Italian place existed in Saginaw. My boyfriend and I agreed we could get those garlic knots with the pesto every single week. My chicken alfredo was fantastic and he got the cajun shrimp alfredo and his was great too with a little kick. Will definitely be coming back! ”
“ Amazing service, very talented and passionate owner. AMAZING breadsticks and pasta. Such a hidden gem in Saginaw! Leave Olive Garden the hell ALONE! And get with the real Italians 10/10 . Was on a first date too! We both had a wonderful time ”
“ My son got the signature goat cheese and honey Pizza which is so excellent! I had the lasagna which was very good but I was already full from eating the order of garlic knots that we had. The food was excellent and came at a decent time. No long waits! The prices are very reasonable. If you love Italian food you need to go to Italia! ”
“ This was my first time trying the eggplant lasagna, and it was delicious. I also added a meatball on top of the lasagna. The fresh parmeson garlic bread sticks and the fresh baked garlic knots were also very good. This Italian restaurant is my new favorite in the area now. Nice friendly staff, and I got to meet the owner also who was very nice and offered some food suggestions for me. Will definitely eat here again. Also the service was fast and the quality and the quantity was right for their price range. ”
“ We stumbled upon this treasure of a restaurant with the help of Google maps. Our dinner was delicious, I ordered the lasagna topped with a meatball topper, my husband order the Bruschetta Chicken. We were presented garlic knots that were out of this world, soft, chewy and garlicky! We will tell everyone we know about this gem! ”
