Our family came to the US from Calabria, Italy where Southern Italian Cooking is well known. We brought these cooking traditions with us, and were saddened to learn that no restaurants provided this Authentic Old World Style in our new homeland.

This absence strongly motivated us to start a new restaurant to fill this void. We opened our first establishment in 1979 – and in the process created a family legacy in Elkhart.

We prepare our Italian meals using the freshest ingredients possible, prepared in the Authentic Old World Style. Because of this, we do not consider our cooking “fast food” as we do not rush orders. As a result, our careful preparation fully captures the distinct and flavorful Southern Italian tradition.

Our decor reflects old Italy with picturesque wall murals that reinforce the cozy, unique environment like none other in the area. Our outdoor patio, captures the outdoor eateries of Southern Italy – and is open in fair weather.

Our full service lounge, offering a smoke free environment for our patrons, is the perfect casual place in which to relax and socialize before dining – and to capture the latest sports action or news update on our television sets that are easily visible throughout lounge.

We want to treat all our customers like family – by feeding you like family. Come in and see for yourself.
