We really enjoyed this restaurant. So much so we visited twice over our week stay here in Fairbanks. Food was good, drinks were good (the ‘forget about it’ was especially potent). We visited as a large group with a mix of adults and young children and they got us seated every time.
We had the spaghetti and meatballs and the halibut Geraldo while splitting the steak with prawns. Each entree comes with either a soup or a salad bar. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were larger than expected. I love Italian food a lot and this place definitely lived up to expectations. Service was super fast. We made a reservation ahead of time just in case they were required but it wasn’t too busy when we arrived at 7pm. Recommend to anyone looking for a sit down on the nicer side Italian restaurant in Fairbanks.
Very nice quiet, clean place. Food is excellent and prices are good. Staff is friendly also, even though we showed up close to closing time we did not feel rushed and the staff didn't act like they were put out. Would definitely eat there again!
Had a nice meal here on our last day of vacation in Alaska. I had the sausage calzone and it was very filling. Found the service good and we thought the interior decor to be nice. Lots of good choices on the menu.
Amazing spicy garlic wings I have ever tried and the ranch is creamy and soft. Let's just say the chef really knows what he is doing and the shrimp Alfredo was amazing. Just over the top and the service very nice guy for my server 10/10
Lovely Atmosphere, staff friendly, and patient. Food was amazing, hot, and Very filling. More than enough food, so much so I had to take rest home. Last but not least the coffee is so very tasty!!!!
Went on a Monday, and had unlimited pasta and salad bar for 18. This came with unlimited meatballs, spaghetti, marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, grilled squash, pizza, and garlic bread. The pizza was the best. This deal is from 11 am to 2 pm. Our waiter was attentive and he checked on us periodically. For dessert we had chocolate mousse, it is the best. The coffe we ordered came in a glass cup and looked very nice. Overall it was great.
The food was excellent and the service was terrific. We said we were in town to see Northern lights and they showed us an app and helped us!
