About Our Restaurant
In Italy, dinner is a time for families to come together and enjoy great company, great food, and great Vino. We have proudly brought the experience to families for over 30 years in Lutz, Fl
A Taste of Italy
We provide an authentic Italian experience. From our staff to our kitchen, you can taste the Italian way. Our passion is to give our guest an insight into a culture that values family. The love of family is one reason why food and wine are such an important part of our culture. Extended families often gather together around large meals.
Sapore Antico
Many of our recipes have been passed down generations and follow our concept and belief that food should be made with simple, classic flavors. From our house salad dressing to our marinara sauce, classic recipes are still the same as Nonna made.
No Chain Here
Tired of processed meals from chain restaurants, break the chains here. Our chefs our preparing your meal fresh. Each day is started by baking bread and homemade desserts. Chefs stuff ravioli and prepare fresh seafood for you to enjoy. Our guests are treated like family and often request non menu dishes that hit that special craving they may have.
