Booking basics
Pizza caterers book by the date, not the walk-in — popular Saturdays (especially May–October) go months out, so inquire early with your date, venue, guest count, and whether you want full catering or an oven drop-off. Most will hold a date with a deposit and a signed agreement.

From the reviews
🍝🇮🇹🍕 Nice restaurant in McAllen. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the service was okay. Quite certain the waiter was stoned out of his mind but whatever. 😑 I can get past repeating myself 4 times & rearranging the drinks & plates bc of the lack of short term memory.
Decor inside was sharp, clean, and relaxing. Nice selection of appetizers. Wine selection was good. Classic variety of pizza and pasta dishes. Service was excellent. Desserts were delightful. Overall excellent place to dine and enjoy Italian cuisine.
It was our first time dining here and we decided to order the Margherita Pizza and the Conchiglie al Forno (CAF). The CAF had terrific flavor and was cooked perfectly.
Been once before and again did not disappoint. Before 630pm there are several excellent promotions like ANY pizza for $10 which is a bargain nowadays....only small disappointment was that the meatballs (starter) came with one slice of Ciabatta so no idea how you are supposed to share it.
