Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
An average is a poor summary when the underlying reviews look like this. Reviewers who mention the staff rate this place 4.7 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 19 of 27. Of the 27 rated reviews, 20 sit at four stars or better and 7 at two or below.
Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (96/100), 4 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That result dates from December 30, 2025. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. That puts it ahead of 73% of graded kitchens in Volusia County. What the inspector actually wrote up: nonfood-contact surfaces clean and insects/rodents/pests.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

my family and i came here and the food was so so so good. tasted super authentic, it was incredible. We loved it we definitely recommend!!
-
I highly recommend the Alfredo, best in my life! Theit red sauce was really good and made the pizza extra good. I loved the Italian vibes. They played fun music throughout my family's whole dinner. They also have a rlly cute bar in the back. Parking lot is small so be prepared. Service was amazing! I had refills every time my drink was low and was consistently checked up on.

Authentic Italian for sure! Like you were establishing in Italy!

Ordered the seafood platter, shrimp and scallops were good, salmon was okay though salty, tuna was too well. Risotto was good. My daughter got a filet which was excellent. My wife got the bolognese, she said it was good.

First time here with my Boyfriend! My Chicken Alfredo, and his Spaghetti was delicious! Our server was quick, very attentive, and super nice! I can't remember her name, she has long brown hair, with glasses! I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Italian food! You won't be disappointed! :)

From the meet and greet coming in the door, phenomenal atmosphere awesome knowledge and everything about their menu exceptional and food is absolutely off the chain

What a terrible experience and what a rip off. We only wanted a few oysters and was told quite rudely we had to order a minimum of 6. I asked where that was on the menu and was told that's just the rules and there is no exeption. We decided to just get a drink and was charged nearly 13 dollars for a tiny vodka and diet coke and over 7 dollars for a tiny beer. Only go here if you want to be ripped off and treated like you're nothing. We were extremely disappointed as most restaurants in this area are wonderful.

I got two meals to go, but when I walked into the place I realized I should have taken my lady in for a date. The restaurant is very nicely appointed and the servers were very kind. The food was delicious. I highly recommend you take your lady or fella here for a date and dine in! Take out is good as well.

Had a great meal and glass of wine here. Came alone and it was totally fine. They had a guitar player adding a nice ambience. The food was awesome and I had leftovers for the next day! OMG the bread comes with an olive tampenade to die for!

First time in Daytona. Me and my friends decided to try some Italian and this was a really good place. I enjoyed the food, the lentil soup was amazing. The environment was really nice.

There was two of us. It was my Mother’s Day present for my daughter who is 16. Treated. The food, my daughter received which all she ordered was Alfredo with shrimp was so dry. The Alfredo sauce was like powder should appeal all of her shrimp off of the Alfredo and take the tails off beside that shorter calamari sorry fried calamari there was no frying to it it was raw. Some had some white breading, but mostly you could see the purple octopus for the appetizer all the way down the bread that was brought out with the pesto seemed old and wouldn’t even cut apart I ordered a New York strip that’s one thing they got right it was medium. They cooked a medium. There was no salt and pepper to it and no flavor and now I’m gonna talk about the bathrooms again I have pictures for everything the bathroom with like a public bathroom and a gas station the toilet paper on top of broken glass table, man you just need to look at the pictures very disappointed because I’ve wanted to try this place for a long time very disappointed

Biggest waste of time, I was sat as a party of two, served water and menus. Then I watched everyone around us get checked on and tended to in various ways. Ended up leaving after being ignored for well over 20 minutes. We wanted to eat here, but won’t be back after this terrible experience.

Walked in and there’s no music playing; should have bailed then but figured maybe it was between songs or something. Server confirms It’s been broke for weeks and the owner hasn’t dealt with it. I don’t know that I have much positive to say, our bread was burnt, my husband’s steak ordered medium rare came in more than blue. They brought it back to the kitchen to cook it longer without much improvement. My lasagna had absolutely no flavor, and you could see layers where it was just pasta on pasta without any fillings; it truly tasted like they didn’t season it. The server offered to swap it out so I chose a caesar salad and the dressing was sweet and the croutons were stale. I didn’t finish any of it and neither did my husband. We spent eighty dollars and we still had to cross the street to the ocean deck to fill up. Huge letdown, I feel like every good review is just lying 🤥

I don't know if they were having an off day but the protein tasted like it had been frozen, thawed out and placed in the fridge where it had that awful refrigerator taste. It smelled really good and I was looking forward toceating it. We tried two bites each and threw both (same) meals out.
-
I had the ravioli dish and it was the BEST tasting meal! The light sauce was so good I was tempted to lick the plate😂
-
Great food and service!! If you are looking for real Italian food this is the place!!
-
Our server was awesome. Food rating was from a 7-8/10. The meatballs 10/10. The service 10/10. The food was good though. I would go back back and I would recommend this place to anyone.
-
Still my favorite Italian restaurant in Daytona! Treat yourself next you are in town. You won't be disappointed.
-
I personally didn't like it, terrible wine and no manicotti ot stuffed shells
-
Great service, awesome food

Absolutely amazing dining experience at this hidden gem in Daytona! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel welcome. The food was outstanding. I had the Chicken Mama Mia, which was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the Fettuccine alla Aragosta, and it was just as incredible—rich, fresh, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The kids loved their meals too—the Chicken Alfredo was creamy and delicious, and the Spaghetti Bolognese was a hit! We also started with the Caprese al Forno, which was the perfect appetizer, and I highly recommend trying the Godfather Margarita—it was fantastic! If you’re in Daytona and looking for amazing Italian food, this place is a must. We’ll definitely be back again before our trip is over!
