1st time coming here last night (9/20/25) on recommendations, we were not disappointed at all. Food & service was great!!! Definitely will be going back.....
I had seen the positive reviews and decided to stop in while in town visiting our daughter. We came in towards the end of the night and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. We asked for recommendations, which they provided. We got tortellini with vodka sauce and a lasagna noodle (I forget the name) with alfredo sauce. Both were exceptionally good, as was the accompanying bread. The hostess and server were very pleasant and despite the late hour, never made us feel rushed or an inconvenience. I wish we had taken pictures of our meals, but we were all so hungry that they were devoured in minutes! Will definitely visit again when back in Worcester!
Smaller restaurant on Shrewsbury street with side parking but it’s a rather intimate when you go inside. Lots of options on the menu, ordered the calamari which the flavors were well combined and salted perfectly. However, I wish that the sauce on top of it didn’t necessarily soaked so much of the breading, because the calamari did become a bit soggy. The bolognese was delicious, the meat was rather tender kinda remind me of beef stew. I wish there was a little bit more flavor in it but overall still good. Shrimp vodka coconut was good, it involves risotto, spinach, and some red peppers, which gives it a very sweet undertone. I’m usually not into shrimp but today I was feeling it so it was solid. I didn’t see that you can make reservations here but walk-ins are pretty easy to get. Our server Mia was great, she was attentive and had a great positive atmosphere to her.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
