"This place was amazing. They got us in last minute without a reservation. Very accommodating. I would make a reservation next time. Food is delicious and many things are made in house. I didn't get a picture before I stirred up my Veal colognes peppardelle. But it was absolutely delicious and filling. You will not leave here hungry. Make sure you visit this Italian restaurant if you are near or in Jim Thorpe."

"This was a last minute booking when our lodging for the Palmerston Spartan Race fell through. Great service, beautiful views. We checked in a little early and a staff member helped us at the bar. When we checked in, they made sure we had a reservation for the restaurant if we wanted one. The food and service were phenomenal. Thank you!"
