Great Food in a Lively, Family-Friendly Atmosphere
This busy spot offers a rustic charm with its picnic-style and four-top wooden tables. The service was good, and the manager even stopped by to check on us twice, which was a nice touch. If you’re planning to visit for dinner, I highly recommend making a reservation—at 5:30 on a Friday, the place was already packed.
The food was excellent. The lobster ravioli was rich and decadent, and the lasagna stood out with its unique twist—flavored with sausage and a rich, palomino-style sauce.
It’s clear this is a family-friendly establishment, as the place was filled with families and kids. That said, if you’re looking for an intimate, quiet dinner, this may not be the best fit, as the atmosphere was quite lively and loud. Overall, a great choice for a casual meal with excellent food!

Very cute spot in Ferndale, the food was good & the drinks were great! We tried Nona’s Bolognese & Alla Parmigana (my favorite), both dishes were so flavorful & fresh! We started with a couple Peartinis, Nona’s meatballs, and a garlic loaf. I definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area & making the trip if you aren’t, you won’t regret it!

This is by far the best Italian restaurant, hands-down
If you’re looking for vegetarian options in Italian restaurant and this is a must go to place.
Without a doubt, you should try the garlic loaf bread - I generally do all the sides along with it and it must try.
I love truffle sauce and he ordered the truffle mushroom pizza - margarita pizza would be ideal as well
If you want to do some pasta, then eggplant Parmesan is just out of the world
If you want to try any other dishes choose pasta options
Highly recommend as I visit every second or third week and it has the same consistency in its taste.
Definitely glad to find this gem

I was here today for the first time with a fairly large local brunch group. I tried to keep that in mind while deciding how I felt about everything.
Service was pretty slow, but for me personally it wasn't bad service. I got anything extra I asked for pretty quickly, but we did wait a very, very long time for everything. Then again, we were a large group so that is to be expected. Nothing against our server at all.
I think I made the mistake in ordering the avocado toast. I should have realized that with that large of a group my food was going to come out somewhat cold and cold toast is not enjoyable. It was also not TOASTED! It was grilled so lightly that it barely had any color on it. One of the ladies in our brunch group said it looked like I was eating avocado bread, and that was pretty much on point. I also ordered a poached egg that I was going to divide between the two pieces of toast and that egg was severely overcooked. No runny yolk and a very overcooked white. I did not bother sending the egg back because frankly, I waited long enough for my food and I did not want to wait any longer. I will say that the toppings on the toast were all delicious and very fresh.
The monkey bread, which I ordered as an afterthought, was the best thing I ate today
