very intimate setting, great esthetic, and the food quality was above what you would expect for Pendleton. I was very surprised at the quality of the food but only because i hadn't heard much about it, would dine here again and loved everything that I tried that our Group had. The pistachio sorbet was by far the best, but the chocolate and mango were just as good.

Never have I ever been to a restaurant for a birthday dinner and gotten a hand written card from the staff!! It truly is the little things, and for me that was just such a wonderful touch to our first dinning experience. Lovely service and absolutely delightful food, can’t wait to dine again!

Beautiful quaint restaurant. The meals we had were all wonderful! I will definitely go back as this is authentic Italian. We had the Cheese Wheel and it was so much food. It was a super cool experience! Thank you.

Went for our anniversary dinner and were very impressed. The cheese wheel was impressive and chef Catello is outstanding in our regional cuisine scene.
We opted for Rigatoni with garlic and steak, I added mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach. The pictures don't do it justice.
Our waitress, Ann, provided flawless service and made recommendations for food and wine like professionally minded wait staff should. The dry rose was amazing.
We had the puff pastry to start and I can't wait to go again as the dessert i wanted was sold out.
Everything was perfect.
Bravo Catello!

This place is absolutely phenomenal! The food is so good and definitely authentic (no peas in the carbonara here). Since coming back from Italy, this is the only place that measures up
Also, We went for a birthday and we got a card which I thought was really sweet. If I lived closer, I'd be there all the time. Definitely worth the drive.
