Wow. What a treat! Incredible yummy dishes, rice balls were delicious! Warm soft bread and the corner mom and pop vibe feels like NYC or Sicily.

We was passing through the area on the way to Lake George so I wasn’t too familiar with the area. Looked around and decided to take a chance here, and it was absolutely worth it! The restaurant was small, clean, and unassuming. The owner greeted us warmly and explained the menu options, we decided to get the build your own pasta bowls. The food came out quickly, hot, accompanied with some fresh bread and the best garlic butter spread you’ve ever had. This hands down has been the best pasta I’ve ever had, fresh, tasty, and authentic. The owner was warm and checked on us a couple of times during our visit. We were so pleasantly surprised and how delicious the food was and how welcoming the owners were. We highly recommend this place next time you’re in the area, it’s not your typical Italian joint, this is the real deal and you won’t be disappointed!

Eggplant parmigiana is delicious. Big pieces of eggplant, not deep fried, and not soggy like it is at most places. Daughter loved the lasagna. Everything tastes nice and fresh

I ordered via DoorDash so I have no experience with the inside of the restaurant itself but if it's anything like the taste of the food, then it will be amazing. So far I had the pappardelle and the hot Italian sausage sub and let me tell you. It was perfect and rich in flavor. But it's kept simple to compliment the dish. Just how real Italian food should be. And the sfogliatelle (an Italian pastry) was just spectacular too. I know it might sound too good to be true, but it's that good in my experience. Thank you to the owners for opening this place in our area :)

I am so pleased with the experience I had here. We had a miscommunication with my order but he was very accommodating and didn’t make me feel bad for the mixup. The food we ordered, chicken parm, ziti, salad was so delicious. Their signature lemon vinaigrette salad dressing is yummy too! We can’t wait to go back and try something else!

If you’re a fan of classic Italian comfort food, this place is an absolute must-visit! The spaghetti here is perfectly cooked—al dente. Giovanni and Francesca’s tomato sauce is incredibly rich and flavorful. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving a delicious, authentic pasta experience.

Being Italian and from NY, I can tell you this is the best true Italian food place in the area. Rocco's pizza and this place really feel like home. A++

Well OVER-Exceeded my already high expectations! Fettuccine Alfredo, Eggplant parmesan and Lasagna were definitely the best I have ever had! With all the Italian friends I've grown up with in New Jersey who have owned restaurants, that is saying a lot! SO glad they are my neighbors! We will definitely be regulars!

If you want authentic, home style, fresh Italian food, it doesn’t get more real than this. Locals to the Glens Falls area are truly lucky that the owners decided to settle down in this area, they are originally from northeast of Rome I believe! Having a place like this in our little city enriches our lives in more ways than one! Enjoy!

We've had two meals from there. Both were excellent. Fresh ingredients, fantastic flavors!. The sfogliatella was an amazing finish to the meal.

I picked up the chicken parm dinner special yesterday and wow was it good. The chicken parm was tasty perfection, the pasta…fresh pasta…was soooo good. We also got a loaf of fresh bread that was delicious. It was such a friendly family owned atmosphere picking up the food. Definitely will be ordering again and highly recommend to all

Tonight we had a lasagna dinner, eggplant parm, meatballs and a few Arancinis. It was all DELICIOUS! We are so fortunate to have Giovanni and Francesca as business owners in our town. Their sauce is as good as you have ever had.... obviously made from heart. We will be going back again and again.

Spent a fortune on their Saturday family “special” added a salad and extra meatballs. I could have bought a jarred sauce that was BETTER!! The meatballs were tiny and FROZEN no way homemade. The pasta way undercooked .The $12 salad was brownish and stale. What a HUGE disappointment I would never ever recommend this place huge rip off. I would like a refund

I really wanted to like this place because it’s finally something different in GF, but the food was awful. The alfredo had no flavor, the pasta was a horrible consistency that was way too light almost to the point of dissolving in your mouth. My wife got spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was nothing special, the actual spaghetti noodles were basically lo mein from a chinese restaurant, and the homemade meatballs that are $2 per meatball! were just frozen meatballs you pick up from Walmart. Maybe we hit an off night based on all the other good reviews here but it was honestly so bad I wouldnt give it a second shot

Possibly the worst spaghetti I’ve ever had in my life . It was watery and the meat sauce had no meat at all. Save yourself money and make it at home with this place. It’s sad cause I’m pretty sure the owners are from Italy.. I honestly thought this place was gonna be good. I think people are getting caught up with the owners are from Italy so it’s gonna be good. It’s not my grandmother makes better pasta. I’m straight Italian and that is not Italian food.
