5 /5 cecile latimore: We were visiting Lake City to look at a wedding venue and stumbled upon some of the best pasta that I have had in a while.
Its located in a shopping mall but you dont have to walk into the mall to enter. There is plenty of parking as well. The inside has plenty of seating and an outside covered patio. A large group can easily be accommodated.
We went in the late afternoon and didnt have to wait to be seated. They have a large bar area with a diverse cocktail meine. There are also tvs to watch sports. Its a perfect mix to accommodate anyone.
We didnt know that they gave complementary bread when we ordered apps. The bread is soft, served warm, and has like an Italian dressing sauce drizzled over it. It was really good. We also tried the peperoni bites, mozzarella sticks, and garlic potato soup as appetizers. Everything slapped!
The garlic potato soup was hearty, seasoned, and fresh. It was my favorite. The marinara sauce went perfectly with our apps as well. We ordered the shrimp scampi ravioli, chicken scampi ravioli, the blackened chicken pasta, and a large pizza. All of the pasta was cooked perfectly and fresh. It had a good amount of fresh garlic, spinach, and tomatoes. I ordered a meal to go so that my son could try it. It was JUST. THAT. GOOD.
The manager Mike took service to a new level. I could tell that he is a great leader. He was hands-on throughout the restaurant, helping with orders and tables. He frequently checked on our table as well. He demonstrated excellent service with his professional demeanor and attentiveness.
Overall, the price point was reasonable, the food was delicious, and the service was great!
We ended up booking the venue that brought us to the area. We will definitely be back. We noticed that they cater and have great meal bundles for a reasonable price. We are considering having the rehearsal dinner here.
