Make sure you call before up going. They can close yet show open on google. We’ve been burned twice. The food is excellent (if they’re open to serve you!)

Small restaurant in Capitola with amazing Italian food. Food was absolutely delicious and the staff was super friendly. It did take a little bit of time to get the food out but you can tell it was fresh and it was worth the wait

I have been to Milan and Rome, and have ate in Italy. This is by far the best pasta I have had in my life. I got the fettuccine porchini and it was 11/10. Please don’t waste time if you are nearby and try this local restaurant. 10 out of 10.

Food was good. Would have tasted better if we weren’t waiting as long. Sat down around 5pm. Waited around 45mins for our main course by this stage we were starving. Would come back only on a quite day as wasn’t worth the wait

Oh my goodness this place is fire! I tried the Margarita Pizza and the Panna Cotta, and they were absolute perfection. The pizza is light and has the ideal woodfired crust, while the Panna Cotta was so bouncy and creamy. Honestly, the best I've ever had. I will be back to order EVERYTHING.

Melissa our server was lovely. The food was average. The space was tight. But they are hustling and I want them to succeed. The prices are modest and the restaurant is a good value portion wise. Four stars because they are a small business and working hard.

We got lucky on Valentines to get a last minute reservation. The place is cute and small with a nice romantic ambience right next to the beach. The host (Melissa/owner) was awesome and warm despite being the only one hosting tables. The food is phenomenal, the best Italian we've had!! Better than Lillian's where we go frequently. We are veg, so had the bruschetta, split pea soup, mushroom ravioli in spicy tomato garlic sauce, and gnocci with tomato/pesto sauce. I had the Barbera red wine which was awesome. They had a nice veg pizza but were not serving so we'll have to come back to try. Highly highly recommend this place and will be back with my kids.

Capitola's hidden Gem. Amazing food and service. Large portions. Party of 7 and everyone said the same thing Excellent Food and Amazing service. It is a small restaurant which makes for nice ambience. I had the linguine and clams and the sauce was spot on! Also a great number of clams to go with it. The Tiramisu oh my it was heaven on earth! You can not go wrong here probably the best Italian food in Santa Cruz County.

Next level Italian food. Unique dishes and specials that are creative and exciting. We got the garlic sauce gnocchi and it was STANKY in the best way. We also got the mushroom ravs and the sauce wowed me. Tons of regulars in here! The prices were amazing for the quality and the wine is a heavy pour.
