Found by chance on buisness trip. Came back for v-day dinner all was very good. Only thing that could be better is the bread every bread is based off sub loaf and not very traditional it's good but not what one would expect.

Food is very good and the staff are very friendly. Been dining there since 2019 and never had a negative experience. Prices are very reasonable.

The BEST Italian Restaurant in Cookeville hands down. The Chicken Parm, phenomenal. The Cheese Bread, next level. The Manicotti, was great too. Expect to spend at least an hour here, because good food takes time. Tea needs to be sweeter, but everything else made up for it tenfold. Our server, Brooklyn, was super attentive and I would request her if possible.

The pizza is huge, and the crust is crispy. We got an Italian called bella A pizza and baked ziti add meatballs.
