" We had an issue with our reservation being lost, but the staff handled it well and quickly seated us. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The eggplant parmesan was a highlight of the meal, but the dessert fell flat. I'd recommend stopping by for dinner but manage expectations for sweets! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I were blown away! As soon as we walked in, we felt the cozy vibe that made us feel right at home. The staff was warm and welcoming, especially our server, who recommended the duck ragu. It's a must-try! The flavors were like a hug in pasta form. We ended our meal with the cannoli which transported us back to Italy. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the aesthetics of the restaurant were appealing, the food did not meet my expectations for Italian cuisine. I had the chicken parmesan, and it was surprisingly bland. I would recommend them to reconsider their recipes or spice up their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was delicious! I had the seafood special, and it was perfectly seasoned. The ambiance is warm, making it a cozy place for date nights. I would love to see some more vegetarian-friendly options on the menu; hope they add some soon. Still, definitely a 5-star experience for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had such a mixed experience here. The ambiance was wonderful, and the server was friendly, but our food didn’t meet the authenticity I expected. The pasta was a bit bland, and my friend's pizza was overcooked. Everything else was delightful, including the drink options. I might give it another try, as it seemed like they had a lot of potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything we ordered was very good, and we all left full and happy! My only complaint is about the waiting time for the entrees. Our server, while friendly, couldn’t update us on when our meals would arrive. All in all, a solid Italian restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family visited Tello while on vacation, and it was by far the highlight of our trip! I had the baked ziti, which was packed with flavor, and the whole group loved their dishes. The kids played around a bit while we relaxed with a lovely bottle of red wine. Definitely a place to remember and visit anytime in South Haven! " (*Curated Review*)
