Had lunch here in January. The restaurant was adorable but the place was empty and it should have been a sign. The hostess/server/bartender was at a complete loss. She claimed that the owner/chef was from Italy and was a wonderful chef and his dishes were delicious.My friend ordered a pizza. The crust was soggy. We watched the cook pull the pizza out of a regular oven and then use a blow torch to create a roasted looking effect to the top ingredients of the pizza.We asked for Pelegrino and received warm tap water, no ice. We were never offered refills throughout our meal.I ordered a caprese salad to share as an appetizer and fettuccine alfredo with shrimp for my meal.The caprese salad was comprised of 4 slices of tomato, 3 slices of mozzarella and 2 sprigs of basil.The fettuccine was disgustingly over salted. The sauce was runny and oily. My plate included 5 small shrimp that had a rather large upcharge.While we were there 3 other groups/diners arrived. A couple chose to sit on the patio, another couple chose to sit near a window and the single person chose to sit at the long dining table. The couple on the patio were served their meal first. The single person at the long table was served his meal next brought to him by the owner/chef. We were then mistakenly brought the meals of the couple near the window. At that point we were ready to leave and go eat somewhere else. Turns out the chef/owner forgot to even begin our order. We should have left because the food finally brought to us was awful

Are on the patio with my dog. Had the fettuccine with asparagus and it was great. Friendly staff. They do close earlier then advertised on Google. I think they started turning people away at 6:45. I went on a Monday night.

Food is delicious!! Homemade dishes. Quaint atmosphere.Parking: Street parking directly in front of restaurant.
Amazing food and atmosphere! The chicken pesto pizza was super good, tasted nothing like the America style pizzas, but a true homemade, Italian taste. Affogato and cappuccino were delicious as well. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We loved the little garden seating area and overall atmosphere of this place.

Owner was so nice and came out to check on how I liked the food. Homemade pasta dish was amazing! Waitress was nice and attentive. Super cozy garden to sit in outside and inside the cafe was very charming. Great spot to try! Will come back on my next trip.

We stopped here for coffee and dessert. 2 cappuccinos with oat and 2 desserts. A pistachio and a hazelnut freshly made by the owner. Everything was very good. Desserts are the right sweetness, so we actually enjoyed them without having a sugar coma. Excellent quality coffee.It seems food is also great here since the table across were commenting on how good their food was.

Incredibly overpriced for what you get. Their gluten free options are very limited. We got two pastas, one was incredibly salty and had to be returned, a panini, one waffle (literally) and some very cold caprese. No alcohol just some tea and the total was $144 without tip. It was 50° outside with one side door open and no heater so we sat and ate with all our jackets on. I will say the server was very nice and the place itself was super cute. But unfortunately we will not be returning.
Never thought I would find one of the best cup of coffees / espresso drink in Harmony, Ca. People were very nice also!!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The menu is appealing and the flavor was successfully achieved. They have a great wine menu and the outdoor atmosphere is so calming and beautiful. The service is impeccable (thank you, Matt) and the overall hospitality was above and beyond. They should rename it Giovanni’s because he’s the real star of the show. Thank you for the great experience.

The food was delicious, but there was what looked like a piece of mold on my bread. The waitress handled the situation professionally and offered to bring me a new entree but the chef insisted on coming out to try to very aggressively convince me it wasn’t actually mold. His behavior was completely uncalled for and ruined the meal for me and my family. Even with the mold, we were still really enjoying our meal and time there but unfortunately the chef made the experience quite “unharmonious” and we will not be returning.Edit: I’m not surprised that the owner/chef responded and doubled down on his stance. From reading other reviews it seems like his attitude is a consistent issue and is costing him business. At this point it doesn’t really matter if the bread was moldy or not, his treatment of the waitress and to my family was unprofessional and spoke volumes.
