Surprisingly classy and quite good Italian food. The staff,
including the kitchen, can be heard speaking Italian--a good
sign. The seafood ravioli is very good as are the breads. The place
has far more sauces than the traditional marinara. Definitely
worth a trip.

Interesting place. Very classy inside, although you wouldn't
know it by the fact that it is part of a strip mall. Table cloths,
folded cloth napkins, tables already set, stucco artwork on
the walls all set this place apart from other small restaurants
in that part of Newport News. Good thing I wasn't wearing shorts
or a ball cap; the place was a bit on the dressy side.
Wait staff was very friendly, possibly all family members. I
thought the host was hitting on my girlfriend, but he turned out
to be cool.
The food is well prepared in both flavor and presentation. Selection
of menu items fairly decent. Prices are a bit on the high side,
but that is to be expected (this isn't an Olive Garden or Fazzoli's.)
