We were also there 3 years ago, had a great time and now came back. Food was still really good, although the pizza was a bit too oily and Aperol tasted like the bottled pre-made ones. Staff is nice, attentive and very friendly, so we still liked it.
I was recommended this place for an authentic Italian restaurant and atmosphere as I’m an Italian food connoisseur (I try at least). And I wasn’t disappointed! Really enjoyed the friendly service, the carbonara was excellent and the Burrata was also a very good surprise! It was some sort of salad with mushrooms and aubergine with some oil and the burrata on top. This salad accompanied with their extremely tender prosciutto ham was the best way to start the meal! 10/10!!
The decor is cute inside! Pastas are alright but not great. There are places do better in town. We didn’t try the pizza though. The pasta made our stomach extremely bloated after. After eating out every single day for 3 weeks in Spain. Only one other restaurant made us feel bloated after. Not sure why.

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
