Located in the McDonough square (downtown McDonough) this small intimate spot is definitely a spot to try for all the Italian lovers. The service was warm and welcoming. The food was delicious and the rolls they serve are addicting! This place was established in 94' I believe and I can see why it is still in business.

The staff recommended the Black Pepper Pappadelle, so I ordered it right when they opened at 11am. I was seated promptly and served two pieces of garlic bread along with a delicious minestrone soup. The portion size of the pasta dish was generous and the pricing was reasonable. I particularly enjoyed the flavorful minestrone soup. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making for a pleasant dining experience.

I can't remember if they take reservations or not, but if they do, I highly recommend making them, because the place was packed! The dining area is small, yet charming and intimate. The restaurant is locally owned and has been up and running for over 30 years. It is definitely a staple in Henry county. I love the complimentary bread service they offered. The rolls were light fluffy drizzled with olive oil and a touch of garlic. It was hard to eat just one, but I wanted to save room for my pasta entrée. There were several on the menu that I wanted to choose, but I selected Chicken Parmigiana dish. First of all, I was blown away by the portion sizes of their dishes. Their chefs are heavy-handed and you will definitely be leaving with leftovers. The piece of chicken I got was almost the size of my plate and the bowl was filled to the brim with pasta! Not to mention, the prices are very fair, especially in today's inflated market. The red sauce in my dish was unique to any red sauce I've tried before. I couldn't pinpoint what the special ingredient was, but it's definitely a standout taste in the sauce. I highly recommend any of the pastas that have red sauce. We also got the calamari appetizer that had the same yummy red sauce for dipping. The calamari was fresh, battered and fried well, and plenty was given for our table of three to share. We also ordered a large pepperoni pizza to see if their pies were as good as their pastas! Yep, they are, so I suggest ordering one of each for the table! Be sure to leave room for dessert because the tiramisu is to die for. Again, they give you a huge serving size of the cake and you can tell it's definitely homemade. This is some of the best tiramisu I've ever had, and I am very picky about my tiramisu. Last but not least, our service was outstanding. Even though the place was packed and only two servers working, they were on it! Our dishes came out quickly, food was hot, and drinks were refilled constantly. We were in and out at a reasonable time. I can't wait to go back and try some more of their food. If you are in the McDonough Square, make sure you choose this restaurant to dine at! You won't regret it, but only choose this place if you're hungry because you will be getting a lot of food!
