I have tried many different dishes, and I have not been disappointed in any of them. This is the best place in Mid-Mo to get authentic Italian cuisine, with fantastic service.
Their cream sauces are rich and flavorful, and their red sauces are sweet and have great depth of flavor.
On top of great food, their service is always top notch, and there is never a long wait, even when they are at their busiest. Five stars.
One thing to note, they're still only accepting cash and check, however they do have ATMs inside for customer use.

If I could give a half star I would. Appears to be going out of business - they didn't have a bottle of wine we ordered, no tea and were supposedly out of other ingredients. Don't take credit cards and olive oil tasted like it was mixed with cheap canola oil. 1 car in parking lot at 6 PM on a Saturday night (should have been a clue). First dish (veal) was disgusting - sent it back and ordered a pasta dish. Was marginal at best and had typical "store ingredients." Olives and bulk ham disks - if a high school home economics class was doing a block on Italian cooking, this would be close. Service was marginal as well - more interested in working on her phone and pretty sad attitude. Do yourself a favor and make the extra 1.5 hour drive to the Hill in St Louis.

The chicken in my pasta was pretty bland and all of the food was suspiciously hot and suspiciously fast. Like maybe they are using the microwave. They desperately need some sort of music going as it is simply too quiet. You have to whisper to the person that you are eating with to not disturb others. Our wine was hot, not room temperature, but hot and tasted terrible. However the bread was pretty good and the sauce in my dish was good. And service was pretty great. I'll see if it is still open in a few months and then maybe we'll try again.

One star because it's required. Terrible service, terrible food. Waited five minutes or more before anyone even realized we were there, worker was outside smoking. Waitress played music off her phone so anytime she texted (which was the whole time) or walked out of the main seating area the phone skipped and was super annoying to listen to. The pasta was TERRIBLE. Chicken old and inedible, sauce had no flavor. Calamari super chewy and nasty. Didn't even eat half our meal and didn't take any leftovers. A waste of $50.

It is nice to have something different to eat in this small town without having to drive to Columbia or Jeff City. The first two times we went were really good and it was nice that they were not afraid to use garlic. The food was good and the service was excellent. I got the linguine to Tuttomare. The salads need a bit of work and the bread needs and olive oil Dipper. The third time we ordered a supreme pizza and a cheese pizza. I would not recommend the pizza. Both pizzas the crust was limp and Soggy. I also got the fried calamari and it was basically breaded calamari that had no seasoning in the batter and it was terrible. No flavor at all.
