"Dining on the patio with a view of the Babcock lake is lovely!In general, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Had I not eaten here 7 times, based on today’s service and food, I would not come back. The waitress was a bit rushed and short. No silverware until asked, and the napkins were C-fold towels (for drying hands), tacky. It took 30-45 minutes to get our food, and when the pasta dishes arrived, they looked like they had been dished up 20 minutes prior, the noodles were dried out on top and there was not any sauce on them. We asked for more sauce, but had to ask twice and we were more than halfway done eating by the time the sauce arrived. The Brussel sprouts as a STARTER, had to be ordered twice and didn’t arrive until we were almost done eating. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were mediocre. The the Caesar salad with blackened Mai Mai was very good.The chicken piccata was disappointing and the chicken was so tuff, my mom had to ask for a steak knife. As mentioned earlier, the piccata was missing the lemon sauce. The piccata was my Mom’s favorite dish, she has enjoyed it at least 5 times before.Basically, a disappointing Sunday dinner."

No management, that says it all. Food is low level pub food, Good bar, don’t have high expectations on the food. Great view.

Awesome breakfast menu with very reasonable prices. The shrimp and grits were amazing along with the eggs benedict! Great service from our server, Jackie.

I absolutely love this restaurant! Without a doubt, it's the best service I've ever experienced. Logan was incredibly friendly, attentive, and truly on top of everything. I wish I could have someone like Logan at home. Thanks to her, I will surely make the hour-long drive to visit again! Food: 5/5

We had a great time. Staff was friendly, professional and fun. The hostess was so kind. She recognize my elderly mother couldn’t stand very long and went out of her way to accommodate us. Her name was Sierra and she was so sweet. The food wasoutstanding. The lake house burger was delicious. We will definitely return.

Location and atmosphere is great. There really isn’t much to choose from on the menu. I had a hard time finding something. I finally opted with a chicken salad and the chicken grossed me out. Too many veins for me. Also the vegetables side was a coleslaw type thing which I thought was strange. If you ask me it’s also over priced for what you get. View menu

We sat at the bar last Friday afternoon at about six pm. The barmaid took a while to even acknowledge us, and when she did, was not very friendly. She seemed unhappy to even be there. Another man came in and stood at the bar for at least five minutes before the two barmaids acknowledged him. Again, not even a smile. We ordered wings, wine, craft beer, and southwest chicken egg rolls. Couldn’t find the chicken and it was like something that could be found in the frozen food section of Walmart, but the wings were okay. Every server there (other than one) seemed so miserable. It just was not a pleasant experience at all. The barmaid was friendly to people she knew, but not anyone else. We’ll do...

Good meal with good service. They have both inside and outdoor seating options and it is a very nice, clean place to eat. It’s a lakeside vibe; probably because it sits beside a large reservoir or retention pond for the large community that it’sset in. I had their sliced prime rib sandwich, which was very tasty. My wife had the chicken picatta, which she alsoenjoyed. It isn’t inexpensive, but seemed worth it for the overall experience. It’s in the main “village square” areaof Babcock Ranch, which is a growing community in the Punta Gorda area. As a tip it can seem like there isn’t much parkingbecause the small parking area in the main drag is usually full of the locals golf carts, but they h...

"I made reservations for a party of 14. We were seated in the private room with 2 other small parties, different server. Our table was setup for 12 people. It took a while for the server to take our drink order. She had other tables in a different section to serve. It took 1 1/2 hour before we got our food. My grandkids were hungry. Two of the personalized pizzas were under cooked and at that point my Grandsons were so hungry that they ate what they could so the rest was garbage. The eggplant Parmigiana had over kill of sauce and the sauce was very sweet. My Chicken picata was salty. Trying to get our server to come refill our drinks was a challenge. When I called to make reservations I asked if I can bring a birthday cake as we were celebrating my Mom's 84th birthday. I was going to cut the cake myself but our server insisted on doing so. I brought my own paper plates and plastic fork so we wouldn't need to use the restaurant. We told our server that the 2 pizzas were undercooked. We get our bill and there was a $10.00 cake cutting fee and only 1 pizza discounted half price. This was supposed to be a positive experience as my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma and we wanted the family to be together to have a positive experience. $507.65 after and extremely disappointing with the entire experience. Italia will never get my business again. My recommendation to them is to have someone assist the server with large parties..when companies skimp on staff, they lose business."
