"Atmosphere: 2/2 stars Food: 1/2 stars Staff: 1/1 stars: Beautiful decorated Italian cuisine. My wife and I decided to come to Laconia on our first night. The environment and the staff were great, but we have a few comments about the food. Overall, this restaurant met with its Italian cuisine and with some small adjustments, they could be excellent! We were satisfied with the experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant. ATMOSPHERE: After entering the restaurant you will be greeted with the Hostess stand forward and a pastry to the left. There is also a view of the kitchen that gives it an authentic edge of an Italian market and kitchen. The dining area is beautifully extracted. There are 2 floors. Part of the first floor seating area is located under a huge dome ceiling that, when coupled with the table layout, gives a very spacious feeling for the experience. The temperature, air circulation and lighting made the environment very comfortable. The brick walls and the white panel combed beautifully with the black and wood-coloured seating. A touch of class and whimsical charm was added to the venue with the piano in the middle of the room along with light jazz in the background. The upper floor had a bar area along with a side room. The art in the restaurant was a mixture of modern simple patterns and authentic Italian wall art. The decorator really brought this restaurant to life. Feedback: Remember to get a small closet for the bathroom so that cleaning supplies are not visible. FOODS: Appetizers: Spinach Artichoke dip Seafood filled mushrooms Entries: Fratello?s Pizza In-house Tagliatelle Pasta with Marinara, Meatballs and Sausage. Dessert: pumpkin cheesecake 5 layer chocolate cake The food was good. We appreciate the dishes that they were beautifully prepared, plated and presented. Our first course was a warm garlic bread with a range of dipping sauce (a butter bread, an olive oil/Parmesan cheese comb, and a cherry tomato cheese). The variety offered with this made it an inclusive start. The appetizers came out next. The seafood filled mushroom was good, but was easy on filling and taste. Cheesy plates can also look a bit messy. We also ordered the Spinat Dip, who was superb! The cream of the dips, combined with the generous amount of garlic oil crushed pieces of bread, gave this dish its clean taste. Now on the ducks. The pizza has great potential, but the dough lacked the basis to keep the toppings right and the cheese was slightly overlaid in the middle. The crust and the upper part of the pizza was incredible. The pasta court was okay. The in-house Tagliatelle Pasta was amazing, but the sauce lacked some taste. The sausage and meatballs helped, but Sauce is the key. We finished our night with 2 desserts. At first we had our own pumpkin cheese cake. That was a creamy and delicious delight! Like you?"
