Incredible birthday dinner with delicious food, outstanding service and a lively atmosphere. We caught up with a friend and the restaurant let us stay while they closed the place down which was so thoughtful of them. We tried the butternut squash ravioli which was amazing and two of the seafood pastas which were truly outstanding. Make sure you stop by if you are in the mood for a great night of delicious Italian food!

We stumbled upon this restaurant. What a great find. Food is definitely way above average. Service was great. Could use an update on the decor, but if you're enjoying the food, who really cares?

I was there for Valentine's Day and it was very festive and warm. The waiters were attentive and the food was delicious! The Crème Brûlée was delicious and made the evening even sweeter!

Thank you so much to Alphonse, Jesus and the chef for a delightful family experience. We absolutely loved all of our dishes and service. The service was amazingly fast and attentive. The dishes did not disappoint and were incredible and cooked to perfection! Livornese,Shrimp Fusuli and Chicken Marsala. The Tiramisu was delicious too!

Do not come here if your visiting out of town and coming from the beach. My wife tried to look up a place close by wit decent ratings to eat after the beach for our family. Upon arrival we were asked if we had reservations, which of course we did not. The person at the counter waited a few minutes and seemed hesitant. The restaurant was about 60-70% empty. Once seated it took about 10-15 minutes before we were acknowledged by the waiter. The waiter then seemed to cater to those who were dressed better than us or maybe assumed had more money than us. At one point it took about 17-20 min to get a second glass of wine for my wife. I work in a service based industry as well. And honestly if your spending the money you deserve the same experience as anyone. I hate these type of experiences honestly. I took a picture and there was only one older gentlemen sitting at the bar and again the place was about 60-70% empty. There was no reason beside maybe the way we looked to be treated this way. The food was good just would have been nice to have fair unbiased service. Again if your dresses for the occasion go for it. If you don’t look nice and like you have money don’t go. You will be treated poorly.

We read a lot of the reviews and we were happy to get very kind customer service. The meal was amazing! Just as we read on the reviews. Oh and the green dipping pesto sauce was the best we have had! The calamari and shrip w the zucchini was soooo very yummy!

Cozy atmosphere, great food, and the highest attention to detail. A local favorite. There is a Newport Beach location as well. I've been multiple times, and I am always happy with the experience.
