| - Summary: Great Italian food, very friendly staff. Go here and eat. Not many tables, so go early.
Referred: By a friend.
Waiter: Raphael. Treated us like family. Seemed genuinely glad that we were there, eating at (his?) restaurant. Super neat guy.
Wait: We were seated immediately and were served some bread while we waited. They promptly took or order, which took a little while to be prepared. However, the food was made to order, and we were not disappointed by the wait. (This is NOT Olive Garden speed.)
While we waited: Delicious handmade bread w/ oil and vinegar. We ate a bunch of this stuff, then bought a loaf to eat at home. They were not stingy with the bread, which was nice.

Dishes:
Butternut Squash Ravioli. Me. Rich, handmade pasta, creamy sauce. Not a giant portion, but very rich and delicious... the squash was sweet against the cheesy cream sauce. (You probably wouldn't want a giant bowl of this.) I'd eat this again.
Margarita Pizza. 15 year old son. Great crust, handmade sauce. Good stuff. Son enjoyed it. (I stole a piece.)
Bolognese. Wife. Tasty as well. Rich meat sauce. Nicely made pasta. Me and my wife shared this and my Ravioli, which paired together nicely. (I'd share like this again.)

Overall, we felt like family, had a great meal, and would go back here again. You should too, but get there early as it's not a large place.
Glad to have a place like this in Peoria.
