Owner and chef is from Naples, Italy. Excellent Italian food, freshly prepared, unlike other so-called Italian food franchises. Felt like we were with family. Can't wait to go back.

It was our anniversary and we wanted something quite, relaxing and good. That's what we got. We started with calamari for which they are famous; they were perfect, hot an tender. My wife had shrinp fra diavlo and said it was excellent; I had gorgonzola stuffed raviolo, they were excellent and served with a delightful creamy sauce. We had an...

Weekday dinner food went from one extreme to another. The mussels appetizer were the worst I have ever been served. All but one mussel were well overcooked (most had fallen out of the shell) and the broth was tasteless. The salad served with the dinner was barely functional- they should make it optional and take a dollar or two off...

We really enjoyed our dinner here. Food was wonderful and service was outstanding. This should be higher up in the rankings in Summerville. No reason some of the chains should be higher up. Again, quality is there. We will go back. Also, Tony plays a mean piano. I had chicken marsala and my wife had the shrimp diablo. Good choices.

Real Italians own...

I need more than nice to go back a second time. Service was nice and food again good. May give it one more try.
Had lunch this week out on the patio. Both of us had the Portobello Ravioli. It was very tasty with a wonderful sauce, Served with fresh green salad, fresh bread with seasoned OVO, it was a perfect amount of food. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Will be back!
We have been to this restaurant about 3 times (chosen by the people we were dining with) and every time been disappointed by the food, service, atmosphere...just name it. Unfortunately, we are scheduled to go again tonight because the group we are with decided this is the place to go. Already looked at the menu & there is absolutely NOTHING...

Great little restaurant in downtown Summerville. The food was delicious and the service top-notch.
Ate at Alessandra's last night for third Thursday, it was absolutely fabulous. I am a little surprised to read the post from others, because every time I have dined at alessandras I am never disappointed.. Last night the place was extremely busy given the fact it was third Thursday. The owner was very attentive and accommodating making sure all her...
