⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Italian food! I ordered to go and every pasta dish was delicious and full of flavor. The staff even gave me a complimentary cheesecake and tiramisu — such a nice surprise! Highly recommend this place for authentic Italian cuisine. 🍝🍰🇮🇹

We were so excited to find a great Italian place for food. The food is excellent and you start with some great rolls and oil. Can hardly wait to go back again.

We live states away and can't wait to go back. Authentic Italian food. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

an absolute gem! Stopped here by accident, realized that there’s an Italian spot, read the reviews — and had an amazing dinner 🚀

Great food the guy had the best service it’s refreshing to have fresh food at a truck stop definitely stop by.

Dishes are sometimes a little too salty, but absolutely delicious. Hope they get wine soon or permission to bring your own. Some restaurants in OK do that. We've tried several dishes and all are wonderful. The Caesar salad is as good as they come!! I'm a huge fan.

The food is delicious every time we eat At Cafe Italia in Paul’s Valley. I highly recommend dining in or getting take out orders. The waiters & waitresses are very friendly & accommodating.

Excellent in all areas. Staff is helpful and friendly. Food was fresh and served hot . Our group had Alfredo, Lasagna, garlic bread and cheese cake. No complaints from anyone at our table. Large serving sizes and we had food to take home . Highly recommend. Definitely going back!

Authenticator, staff is friendly and goes above and beyond. Parking lot is huge for all the truckers out there in a relatively lively area. Highly recommend will be returning. Thanks less.

We ordered one Chicken Parmigiana meal. It was enough food for both of us, and we had leftovers. Hands down, best Italian food I’ve had in a long time! I’m happy that we have this restaurant here in Pauls Valley. We will be repeat customers. ❤️

The Waitress was very nice . The Chef is amazing!!! Highly recommend!, we ordered two different pizzas both were great one was supreme and other one was peperoni. We also ate their claim linguine that was so delicious!! Lastly we had a amazing tasting tomato soup.

Food was delicious! One of my favorite lasagna dishes I've ever had. Portions and price were a steal. A great sit down must while traveling I35.

We pulled up and it shares a building with a gas station. I almost said Let’s go somewhere else. So glad we stayed. The best Shrimp Limone I have ever had. The portions are huge. I saw a man’s eyes get huge when he saw the size of his pizza. My husband got me he Spaghetti Works and loved every bite. 10 out of 10, we will stop again.

Surprising find just off the highway! Chef prepared outstanding Italian dishes bursting with flavor! And the Bread!!!! Wow! We will be back!

Stumbled across this cozy Italian café in this small town and it honestly feels like a hidden gem. The food is so good—fresh, full of flavor, and you can tell it’s made with real love. Everything from the pasta to the desserts tasted homemade and authentic, just like something you’d find in Italy. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. It’s warm, welcoming, and never feels rushed. The owner is super kind and genuinely cares about every guest who walks in. You can often see him chatting with people, making sure everything’s just right. The staff are just as friendly and attentive. In a town where you don’t always expect to find something this special, this café is a real treasure. Great food, great people—definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.

This little joint is very good, food came out fast and service was fantastic.

Very exquisite restaurant very fancy and phenomenal food quite the experience! If you are looking for pizza or pasta this is the place. On our way out after dining they gave us a free slice of chocolate cake. Very good service and on top of that they gave us free bread!

The food was delicious, and the portions were big!! Everything is fresh and tasted amazing!! The service was wonderful!! The bread was fresh and hot out of the oven. The chef also stepped out to say hi and check if everything was good. Definitely will be stopping by on my next trip through Oklahoma.

The owner is such a good man and the food is the best Italian food that I’ve ever had in our state looking forward to coming here next month on my birthday!!

When I got there the atmosphere of the restaurant was so pleasant the staff were nice and all working hard. The owner greeted me and gave us a good welcome. Would definitely order again.

I ordered the chicken piccata, caprese salad, and garlic cheese bread. All was outstanding. If you like capers and lemon their chicken piccata was amazing. Weather is in the low 90's today and the cypress salad was refreshing and hit the spot. As truck driver it's hard to find good food that isn't your typical fast food chains. This was a pleasant surprise and I will definitely be back next time I'm driving through here. Oh, and the it was very reasonably priced for all the food get. Half my pasta and caprese salad are going in my fridge on the road with me. Great job chef, it was delicious.

The best calzone We have ever had. The calzones are large and you can up to 4 toppings for $11.00. The favors are fresh and favorable. Not to mention the fresh mozzarella. Can't wait to visit again and try out the rest of the menu.

Nice little restaurant adjacent to a Truck stop here in Paul's Valley, OK. It was my first time here. My server was a very attractive and polite young lady by the name of Samantha. She took care of me and even suggested some plates. I opted for a tomato basil soup and a baked zitti. Both were delicious. I can honestly tell you I'll be back if I'm ever in this area. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

It was perfect food was incredible, service was perfect and staff was friendly. If you find yourself around here and hungry definitely come here

We were there on a busy Sunday afternoon and it was one of the best dining experiences. Everything from the house salad and bread to my entree of linguini and clams was fresh, well prepared, and simply delicious. Samantha, our server took the best care of us, ensuring our order was correct to keeping our drinks filled. I see myself becoming a regular here. Bravisimo!

So good. Do not skip this. Huge portions. Bread was amazing. Pasta was top notch. Reasonable prices. And it's in a travel plaza with a ton of truck parking. I was not expecting this when I walked up from my hotel across the street. I could see this place being featured on Food Network someday, it was that good (and unexpected).

great food AND desert! very large portions!! the boss and cook were so friendly when they came out to talk with us — hannah was an awesome waitress. definitely will be returning, this place is a must try! :)

We had a party of 7 at around noon on a Sunday. Service was great and they were prompt with drink refills while we waited. I overheard our waiter say they were short handed, but we didn’t really notice any delays with the service. While it might have taken just a little longer for our entrees to be delivered, they were hot and everything tasted great. The Caesar salad was enough for all the adults to share around the table. The complimentary rolls were delicious. We ordered Veal Piccata, Chicken Piccata, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Alfredo, two small pizzas, and sides of broccoli and asparagus. Definitely recommend this!! Usually there’s always at least one item that is subpar, but this chef outdid their self! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alina was our waitress, she is so friendly and welcoming. The food is phenomenal and fresh. We came across this place by accident and I’m so glad we did! It’s quickly become our go to place when I’m out in the semi with my husband. The lasagna pizza will knock your socks off! All the food we’ve tried has been amazing! Looking forward to trying even more! Today we tried the chicken Alfredo pizza and it was incredible too!

WOW just amazing. Passing through seen the reviews said let me try and now I look forward to trying more of the menu. Great food and portions. Lovely ladies in the front that are so kind. Feels like home. 10/10 🔥 God bless

Very good food and large portion for the price. Service is very friendly as well. Will come back here again when I'm in town.

Been eating here for awhile and we are never disappointed! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and the staff is hard working and attentive. Food is made fresh and the portions and very generous at affordable prices. There is truck parking in the back and with being right off of I-35 it’s the perfect stop for travelers in the mood for a good meal!

All you fellow truck drivers make sure u try this place. By far the best Italian food anywhere outside of NY.NJ. Area. The cheesecake amazing!

Ok first of I gave 5stars for atmosphere because I don't want to lower it for that it's in a gas station/truck stop but this was by far the best Italian food I've had in a very long time and extremely reasonably priced

Caffe Italia catered a wedding for us, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The food was amazing, everything was full of flavor and beautifully done—but I have to give a special shoutout to the Alfredo. It was, without question, the best Alfredo I’ve ever had it was so creamy, rich, and unforgettable. Huge thank you to the owner, Blair, for working so hard to make everything perfect. Your effort, care, and attention to detail truly showed. You helped make the day feel extra special!

The best food I’ve ever eaten and wonderful service!! Also has wonderful desserts!

I was driving from Houston, Texas, to Kansas City, Missouri, and stopped for gas in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, where I found this little gem of a restaurant. Not fancy but I ordered the Margherita Pizza and it was excellent! My server, who was named Alina (I hope I spelled that correctly), was very pleasant and kept my water glass filled. There was even some lighthearted teasing from one of the “regulars” who pretended to try to swipe my pizza. It was a delicious and entertaining break from the long drive. I’ll make a point of stopping there again on my next trip that direction.

Great food, even better service! Hannah goes above and beyond & made my experience very enjoyable.

It seems crazy to be able to find great food in a place connected to a truck stop, but you will be blown away if you stop here. By far the best tiramisu I have ever had. This coming from someone who has had tiramisu from very well established bakeries. My son toured Italy last summer and dined at a Michelin star restaurant. He swears by this restaurant, Caffe Italia uses fresh ingredients every day and you can tell, the flavors of each dish shift from visit to visit as it should when fresh ingredients are used. I am always pleased with every dish I have had here, the chef is very friendly and will come chat with the guests and is very open when you ask about his craft. This restaurant, simply put, is one of the best Italian restaurants in Oklahoma!

Homemade Cesar dressing is the way to my heart & Blair does an amazing job. One of the best Cesar’s I’ve had (I’ve had 2 from here already. One was to-go + grilled chicken). The pasta entrées we had for dinner were amazing. Super nice staff 13/10

I just ate there the food is very good my server was very good the tea and salad were also good. I was pleasantly surprised because anymore everything is lacking when I eat out so I just avoid it. But Caffe Italia is firing on all cylinders and I will remember that next time I'm this way, And I hope I will have time to stop.

My boyfriend and I were riding through on our way back to Ft Worth on his motorcycle and stopped in to get out of the cold. Alina was incredible! She got us coffee and was extremely sweet. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back.

I thought it was great! The service was good and the food tasted like it was made from scratch and with quality ingredients. I loved that they have added some new and exciting dishes to the menu, like risotto and gnocchi. The pizza crust was perfect. Look forward to trying more dishes!

This new restaurant is simply incredible. The food is to die for. We tried 3 different dishes and all of them were amazing. The atmosphere and presentation were great and the staff were very hardworking. Will definitely be back again!

I visited Café Italia during the coldest week of February when most of the town was shut down. Besides fast food, this was the only restaurant that remained open, so we decided to give it a try. I’m so glad we did because the food was excellent. I ordered the Spaghetti Works, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The flavors were spot on, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. Despite its unassuming location connected to a gas station across from Walmart, the restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu has a wide variety of dishes, from classic pastas to specialty pizzas, all at reasonable prices. Our waitress, Samantha, was very nice and incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I was also impressed that they remained open when almost every other restaurant had shut down due to the weather. It really showed their dedication to serving the community. Considering the circumstances, I truly appreciated their hospitality and great food.

I have eaten here so far three times within 7 days and really enjoyed what I had. The food is really good and so is the service. The atmosphere is nice quiet and relaxed. I would certainly come back and would gladly recommend this restaurant.

Service and food were amazing! 10 out of 10 will be going back

I have dined here a few times. The vegetables are always fabulous, as is the bread. The marinara sauce on the lasagna is bright. The Alfredo is delicious, I generally buy mine with chicken. As a truck driver I enjoy buying 2 to 4 meals and placing them in my fridge to try on the road. The bread travels well as carb snacks.

Food was delicious, great service and taste. Waitresses Samantha and Vanessa provide excellent service every time I come here.

We are truly blessed to have such a nice Italian place in Pauls Valley. They have a good variety of food, it's consistently good, and it's reasonably priced. If you like side salads with your meal, they are very inexpensive here, and they're always good.

We stopped by on a whim to get gas and was pleasantly surprised by amazing food. I got the seafood soup and my husband got chicken Murphy. it was all phenomenal.🤩 Just goes to show, don’t overlook the restaurants attached to gas stations. Sometimes they’ll surprise you.😊

Now hear me out. The exterior gave us some pause but the reviews spoke of incredible home made food with generous portions and an all around good atmosphere, this DID NOT disappoint!! The interior was clean, spacious and wafting an Incredible aroma. The server was prompt while also providing insightful information on the menu and size choices; all around a 10/10 experience I would highly recommend.

Okay now this little hidden gem connected to a Truck stop in Pauls Valley Okla - Is the real deal! We never have been here before it was our first time - this gem has been open about a year! Note: each serving is a very good portion size and served hot. With complimentary fresh hand made hot dinner rolls that melt in your mouth! Inside atmosphere a little Italian local cafe diner very clean and inviting. Nicest staff courteous, attentive, answered all my questions kudos to Eleana - our server!! Ask for her! What you need to know : Now it’s Not a chain restaurant - the owner chef prepares everything fresh made to order - from the dinner rolls, salads, pasta dishes the Alfredo sauce , Caesar dressing… all of it fresh! So don’t be in a rush when you dine in, relax and enjoy. (no, they aren’t slow they are preparing you a delicious savory hot made to order pasta dish!) If in a rush then just order ahead for take out - you won’t be disappointed💕. Parking lot is connected to the gas station- truck stop- don’t be dismayed - this Italian food is really good. What we ordered: We had Chicken Alfredo w mushrooms and chicken parmigiana with marinara sauce with side of alfredo noodles w/Alfredo sauce, and Caesar side salads - and ice tea.The fresh Caesar salads we agreed were the best we have had in a long time -with home made croutons /home made Caesar dressing-yum! Then add the hot savory pasta meals - it was excellent food and we took home our left overs! We did not have dessert too full but if they had not been out of the Tiramisu it would have been to go! All the desserts are homemade except the cannoli but the filling is hand made. Trust me you won’t be disappointed - Italian for dinner Yes!!! IYKYK! Give the men and women in your life a treat go out to lunch or dinner here! Especially with Valentine’s day near you will be the hero! (Did not take photos but should have!) Definitely will eat here again - they earned 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- so next time I am traveling through Oklahoma…..I will be dropping in of course. Review by TxSooner/Tvrprosper!

Awesome spot, liked everything we got. Caprese, Cesar salad, large pizza, fettuccini Alfredo, free bread for table side, tomato soup. Highly recommended. I think the chef is from the European region and has been trained there. The service was very quick and friendly as well. Price is very reasonable

This is the most authentic Italian food I have in a long time. It is a casual atmosphere with friendly service. The flavors are excellent. The prices are budget friendly for the quality and size of the meal you receive. I hope to try their desserts soon.

Amazing service with Cameron he did an amazing time serving me very polite and attentive. Food was even better, i had Fried Calamari side and sum shrimp pasta dish which was soo creamy and amazing. Tiramisu for dessert is to die for. Definitely a must-stop for truckers with big beer gut ;) and anyone thats traveling the i35. Do wish they served beer but no biggie. Until next time guys ❤️🙏

Honestly everything was perfect. Only reason is given to the sweet pretty server named Hannah? Beautiful lady from the ground up. Only 5 feet tall but she could truly carry the world. She carried mine that day. Sweet and pretty, hard to come by nowadays. She deserves a raise asap! And my heart.

I had Hannah as a server. She was amazing. Checked in with us constantly and kept our drinks filled. She helped us pick out something from the menu and it tasted amazing. 10/10 would ask for her again

This place is delicious. Staff is super sweet and the chef will come and talk to you. The server is great at her job and having twins!!!! I’m so jealous 😍

When you’re on a road trip and officially over fast food, you start taking risks. Big ones. Like rolling up to a brand-new, no-review, truck-stop Italian restaurant in the middle of Paul’s Valley, Oklahoma, on a Sunday—because, of course, nothing else is open. Enter Café Italia. It had exactly one poorly taken photo online, and that was it. No reviews, no hints, just vibes. And honestly? I was nervous. But the place looked freshly painted, and we figured, why not? Spoiler alert: We hit the jackpot. First, let’s talk about the bread. They make it fresh daily, and I could have easily carb-loaded my way into a food coma with just that. But we had a mission—to test their bruschetta (our go-to Italian restaurant litmus test). It did not disappoint. Then came the mains: chicken Parmesan, the Spaghetti Works, chicken Alfredo, and two kids’ spaghetti with meatballs. Every. Single. Thing. Was. Tasty. The restaurant itself was clean and cozy, the staff was beyond kind and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. And the biggest win? They’re open on Sundays. If you find yourself in Paul’s Valley and want a solid, non-fast-food meal, take the chance. You won’t regret it.

+6

The food is fantastic! Our party had the margherita pizza, chicken Alfredo, calzone, and spaghetti bolognese. Everything was piping hot and delicious! The location to I35 made it very convenient. We will definitely be back!

Friendly people, friendly service food was unbelievably good and the cheesecakes to die for

+1

People are not joking this little restaurant is that "diamond in the rough" no joke. This is some of the best Italian food I've had in years, and as a truck driver you bet your butt I'm stopping here every chance I get. I mean, who expects to get carbonara THIS good anywhere, much less attached to a gas station?! Even the bread tastes amazing. I mean it. Every chance I get I'm stopping here

We're truckers, and my husband and I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The lady who helped us was incredibly sweet and attentive, making us feel so welcome. The chef and owner went above and beyond—not only is he super friendly, but the food and desserts he made were absolutely delicious. Everything felt personal and warm, and we left completely satisfied. We can’t wait to come back! There’s also alot of room for truck parking behind.

Truck stop lunch? Why yes, I will! This place has the ambiance and quality of any classic Italian restaurant available in the metro. Better if you ask me. Ive been to them all. The scratch kitchen delivered on each dish including the decadent tiramsu dessert. Our waitress, Chesney, was a delight and gave excellent recommendations. Longest & best review I've ever left and hard to believe its about an Italian spot at a Pro Mart Travel Plaza!

Good service and attitude. Fresh rolls were fantastic. Food servicing size was crazy big. We highly recommend this restaurant! All 5 of us loved it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Culinary art in Paul's Valley - passion on every plate ⭐️ From the very first bite, this dining experience was unforgettable. 🍝 I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken — hands down, the best I’ve ever tasted! The Alfredo sauce was elegant, creamy, silky, and full of rich flavor. The chicken was tender, perfectly seasoned, and complemented the noodles — which were cooked flawlessly 🍝 My husband had the Spaghetti “The Works”, and he was thoroughly impressed. Every bite was full of depth, comfort, and care. And he couldn’t stop talking about it. Every bite was layered with flavor — pure culinary craftsmanship. 🍰 And the cheesecake… one taste and you’re right back in Grandma’s kitchen — homemade, heartwarming, and simply unforgettable. One taste brought back memories of home‑baked comfort — warm, nostalgic, and full of heart. This is authentic, soulful cooking. Nothing feels commercial here — it’s genuine, handcrafted food made with passion and pride. 💫 Paul’s Valley, you truly have a gem of a chef! His professionalism and artistry shine in every dish. 🤗 The hospitality? Exceptional! Our servers made us feel right at home — relaxed, welcomed, never rushed. The chef even came out to chat with us afterward — what a treat! Such warmth and sincerity made the evening unforgettable. We left feeling like we’d just come home after being away too long. ❤️We left feeling like family — full, happy, and already planning our next visit. ❤️ If you haven’t been here yet, go. And if you have, go again (and again!). You’ll leave with a full heart and an even fuller smile. 🪷 An unforgettable culinary experience — where passion, precision, and genuine hospitality meet in every bite.📍 Paul’s Valley, OK #LocalGem #FoodieFind #OklahomaEats #CulinaryArt #HiddenGem #SupportLocal #FoodLovers #ChefPassion #AuthenticFlavors #WorthTheTrip

Best Italian food I’ve had. This is our second time here and it didn’t disappoint. My wife had the baked ziti (second time and just as good) and I tried the Pollo Rollantine 'Valdostana" (chicken, veggies in a creamy garlic sauce). My dish had all the tastes going on so I was happy! The first time here I tried the vodka gnocchi, and loved it! The service was great and food was very good! Just know that it’s made from scratch so it won’t be a quick in and out, but that’s the trade off for quality.

Don’t let the exterior fool you! This restaurant has to be one of the best highlights of this quaint little town. The food was amazing. We went on a Tuesday and had to come back on Wednesday. The ingredients were fresh. The flavors and portions were perfect. I wish I lived closer to it. Hannah our server was amazing. She was very cordial and efficient. CAFFE ITALIA A+++

We enjoyed a delicious pasta dinner accompanied by warm rolls. I chose lemon garlic shrimp which included mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts in a creamy lemon garlic sauce. Scrumptious! My husband picked the garlic shrimp on fettuccine. The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly. What a wonderful find in the small town of Paul’s Valley. The outside of the restaurant looks like nothing, but the food was excellent. We also enjoyed the cheesecake for dessert. Homemade and so yummy!

I’ve been eating here since it opened, I’ve always been treated kindly by the main chefs and his staff, the food is excellent and try something different every time, you can’t beat the price.. 5 stars forsure

Guy Fieri would call this place a hidden gem!! Homemade authentic food at affordable prices in middle of Oklahoma? Amy is a fantastic server with just the right amount of attention for the customer and Chef Blair clearly cares about his clientele - asked about food preferences and allergies before he made everything. The Campo salad was fresh, crisp and filling. Hearty baked ziti, and freshly made tiramisu along with italian roast! Kudos to all...will come back.

Absolutely love going to eat here! Very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The owner is very sweet and interacts with his customers! They have amazing food. The food is rich in flavor and very fulfilling. I fell in love with everything about this place since the first day I walked in, it’s definitely worth giving a try!

I came all the way from wisconsin and stopped at this restaurant off I-35 and the food was amazing. Top quality Italian food. I had the chicken Alfredo, baked zitti, calamari, lasagna, tiramisu. They were all delicious. The owner and the staff were all genuine and nice. Great place to eat on the road!!!!!

The menu is fantastic! I have dined there twice and also ordered takeout once. Everything has been delicious! The staff is quite new, but everyone has been very friendly. I have also been recommending the restaurant on social media. I hope they continue to thrive.

The most A-M-A-Z-I-N-G FOOD !!!!! So good!!! My husband took me here on our way through to our anniversary weekend and: This is a MUST stop destination on your way traveling through to Texas, OKC, right off I-35. Don’t let the looks deceive you. The food is FIVE STARS in my books!!! We had the Lasagna, Chicken Alfredo and for desert Cheesecake. So amazing! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ordered Chicken Fettucine Alfredo and Penne Alla Vodka along with 2 side salads. Our entrees were served in huge bowls with plenty to eat. Even brought some home for later. The bread was very fresh and our Tiramisu was Heavenly! Our server told us the chef makes each sauce individually as ordered, as well as making the desserts. The prices were fair for the amount and quality of the meal. We will definitely be returning and we'll highly recommend Cafe Italia to everyone!!

This is not a truck stop restaurant, it's a restaurant at a truck stop. Tasty high quick food here. These people really cook. The staff is friendly, I can't wait to go back. I had the pizza, baked ziti, ceaser salad, and tiramisu. Everything was delicious.

Spoiler alert: We hit the jackpot. First, let’s talk about the bread. They make it fresh daily, and I could have easily carb-loaded my way into a food coma with just that. But we had a mission—to test their bruschetta (our go-to Italian restaurant litmus test). It did not disappoint. Then came the mains: chicken Parmesan, the Spaghetti Works, chicken Alfredo, and two kids’ spaghetti with meatballs. Every. Single. Thing. Was. Tasty. The restaurant itself was clean and cozy, the staff was beyond kind and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. And the biggest win? They’re open on Sundays. If you find yourself in Paul’s Valley and want a solid, non-fast-food meal, take the chance. You won’t regret it.

Chef Blair goes above and beyond in his passion for his food and you can taste the love in all of his dishes fresh from his scratch kitchen. The caliber of his food is on par with some of the best restaurants in Vegas. This place is truly a hidden gem. And his staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu, and absolutely lovely to interact with. So, PLEASE, do yourself a favor and come in and rediscover your love for delicious food. And try the cheesecake (Chef Blair's recipe of course)

The Chef made an excellent meal. All the food was authintic, and worth the wait. The complementary bread was fresh, and the waitress was great. It was not noisy like most restaurants are. The only negative part is they don't have thier own bathroom. I would definitely recommend this place to friends!

Great food. Delicious and way better than what I expected to find at a gas station/ truck stop. Almost every thing was homemade. I will not only come back; I will likely choose to stay in this town when passing through, just to eat here again.

I ordered take out from this place last night. The food was exceptional! We ordered pizza , which might I add took me back to when I'm in New York. I also ordered the fish and , spaghetti, everything was amazing!

Okay now this little hidden gem connected to a Truck stop in Pauls Valley Okla - Is the real deal! We never have been here before it was our first time - this gem has been open about a year! Note: each serving is a very good portion size and served hot. With complimentary fresh hand made hot dinner rolls that melt in your mouth! Inside atmosphere a little Italian local cafe diner very clean and inviting. Nicest staff courteous, attentive, answered all my questions kudos to Eleana - our server!! Ask for her! What you need to know : Now it’s Not a chain restaurant - the owner chef prepares everything fresh made to order - from the dinner rolls, salads, pasta dishes the Alfredo sauce , Caesar dressing… all of it fresh! So don’t be in a rush when you dine in, relax and enjoy. (no, they aren’t slow they are preparing you a delicious savory hot made to order pasta dish!) If in a rush then just order ahead for take out - you won’t be disappointed💕. Parking lot is connected to the gas station- truck stop- don’t be dismayed - this Italian food is really good. What we ordered: We had Chicken Alfredo w mushrooms and chicken parmigiana with marinara sauce with side of alfredo noodles w/Alfredo sauce, and Caesar side salads - and ice tea.The fresh Caesar salads we agreed were the best we have had in a long time -with home made croutons /home made Caesar dressing-yum! Then add the hot savory pasta meals - it was excellent food and we took home our left overs! We did not have dessert too full but if they had not been out of the Tiramisu it would have been to go! All the desserts are homemade except the cannoli but the filling is hand made. Trust me you won’t be disappointed - Italian for dinner Yes!!! IYKYK! Give the men and women in your life a treat go out to lunch or dinner here! Especially with Valentine’s day near you will be the hero! (Did not take photos but should have!) Definitely will eat here again - they earned 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- so next time I am traveling through Oklahoma…..I will be dropping in of course. Review by TxSooner/Tvrprosper!

Awesome spot, liked everything we got. Caprese, Cesar salad, large pizza, fettuccini Alfredo, free bread for table side, tomato soup. Highly recommended. I think the chef is from the European region and has been trained there. The service was very quick and friendly as well. Price is very reasonable

The people are great, Prices were fair, the caffe was clean. We had the bruschetta for an appetizer ,was fantastic. My husband had the Veal Marsala very good. I had the Shrimp Limone . Flavor was mild but good. Only problem was the angel hair pasta was to thin for the dish. It turned to mush and didn't hold up to the shrimp and mushrooms. . We had choc cake was great. The cannoli we didn't care for. I've never had it before. So it's probably a personal preference thing. . As a truck driver places like this are rare. Looking forward to stopping again when we get the chance. There are several dishes I would love to try. The gentleman a table behind us was ecstatic over his Alfredo. Says best he ever had . . It doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let it fool you. ,

Great Italian food. Good menu of choices. Authentic cheesecake.

Enjoyed the works spaghetti, I've been here before but it's been a while. The biscuits/bread have great flavor. Great place for truck drivers to grab a great meal, with plenty of parking

Food here is good, they had just recently opened and the waitress was new so we tried to keep that in mind on our visit. We were greeted and sat down as soon as we walked in and our drink and food order didn't take long to get to us. We will definitely be coming back and hopefully a few of the kinks will be worked out by then but would still recommend this place to anyone looking for some good Italian food.

Food is usually good! However, calling in an order to go is a nightmare. Since moving to Pauls Valley I’ve tried ordering takeout 3 times and never get my food within 45 minutes. Today I called & ordered at 12:03 (kids fettuccini & adult spaghetti), showed up & paid at 12:30, & finally got my refund at 1:13 after they asked me what the name on my order was. I’d much rather make the drive to Wynnewood and eat at Delizi’s!

Nice place and the service is ok, the deserts are also great but..pasta? Is a different story,I asked for a pasta carbonara or spaghetti carbonara and is not good at all not even taste good lack of many condiments,there are greats videos on YouTube about spaghetti carbonara the “chef “ can learn real good there.

Very good authenic food however slightly disappointed. Ordered the italian trio (Pasta Alfredo, Lasagna, Chicken parm). Pasta and chicken was good. Second or third bite into Lasagna and im eating something hard. Pull out of my mouth a piece of a branch or something of wooden variety. Killed my appetite. Waitress was kind about it and said she'd show the cook. Cooks comment was its a bone spur from the chicken. IT WAS WOOD that came from the Lasagna! No mention of a small comp to make it right. Nothing. Just excuses. Wont return.

They took my friends salad to the wrong table. Then they took my calzone to the wrong table... twice. The only good thing i will say about this place is that they didn't make me pay after the bad service. They will be lucky if I every try to eat there again.
