The wait was well worth it! House made sauces, pastas, pizza and soups are a culinary adventure. The atmosphere is vibrant and centrally located in the University area makes it a real find

Food was underwhelming. Sauce was watery - pasta was dry - dish underseasoned - artichokes were hard & flavorless. Bleh. Not worth an hour wait.

Went because Trip Advisor had it ranked #1. It certainly proved worthy of its ranking. Were on road trip to go get daughter in college in South Carolina from Texas and Tuscaloosa is a good stopping point. Arrived at 9:30 and service was friendly and food yummy and hot. Good atmosphere and love college town pricing.

Visited last week April 2013. This was a very quaint restaurant with extremely prompt service. The atmosphere was that of a truly authentic Italian restaurant. The Calzone was absolutely the best that I have ever had. Be prepared for no Cocktails though only Beer and Wine is offered. If in the area please give them a try.

We visited Tuscaloosa this weekend and ate at DePalmas in downtown on Sunday afternoon. My college son said this place is packed at nights and on weekends but on a late Sunday afternoon we walked right in. The Italian menu choices are plentiful and priced quite appropriately not being too expensive at all. My son and wife both had pasta... More

While driving through this beautiful university town we happened upon this restaurant around four in the afternoon. It turn out that that was fortunate for us since we didn't know what a popular restaurant we had stumbled on. My husband and I each ordered a different pasta dish. We were delighted to find that they make their own pasta. It... More

This was recommended to us by locals. It's a very small and cozy restaurant. Staff was very attentive, food was excellent, we had a 45 min wait for a table but the waiting area was nice and we didn't mind the wait. Would love to go back!
