Overpriced based on all critieria. Went on a Sunday night with 4 other people. We were the only ones in the restaurant the entire night. Overpriced items on the menu (nothing under $19), very small portions. We wanted to use a coupon that we had from an entertainment book, the owner would let us use it. His explanation was that it was a very slow night and if he let us use our coupon he would loose money. I do not recommend this restaurant. There are so many other amazing restaurants in Memphis that also offer Meditranean and Italian. This restaurant is also in the middle of a residential area, with nothing around except houses.

Wonderful little Italian place!. This is a great little restaurant in a nice location. The evening I was there, it was pretty quiet, probably since it was midweek. The food was exquisite, the service was wonderful, and the waitress had some good suggestions regarding the menu selection.

My only complaint is that nobody in Memphis seems to know what authentic Italian bread looks like - it should have some substance to it, not be soft and squishy.

Other than that, highly recommended. I will be back to try some other things from the menu.

Romantic Hideaway. One of my favorite restaurants in Memphis--definitely worth finding. The food and the maitre'd are the icing on an already delicious cake. The dim lighting and international feel evoke images of a warm eatery in Morocco.

Elegant, nice and appropriate. This is a very small and romantic restaurant. THe food is great and the ambience could not be better. They have a very friendly and educated staff. The cheff is from Azrbaijan but specializes in italian food. Go there, you will be happily surprised.
