The food was very good, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was even better. The wine recommendations were spot on and if we lived near this place we would definitely be back.

This is my go to place whoever I am in town. The service was great once again. Food was good. The pizza’s are fantastic. Sat up on the rooftop and had a great view of the water. Highly recommend.

My husband and I shared the Beet and Burrata Salad and the meatball pizza. Both were delicious! Service was fabulous and the views amazing! Highly recommend.

Pricey without extras for Italian. There is open floor indoor dining, or outdoors patio , both are casual , large tables , or bench seating next to other guests. Not very conducive to ‘couples' seating or ambiance. Food servers were attentive, bread is on the appetizer list , there no additions to entrees , ie. Soup/salad. Crispy salmon & lasagna entrees were delicious , but it was not filing, raspberry cheesecake was syrup drizzle. Not the experience we were expecting.

I really liked their wood fired pizza. The Affumicata is one of my favorite pizzas.

We came here on a weekday evening and the place was buzzing. The lower level is reserved seating and the upper level is seat yourself anywhere kind of seating. I didn't particularly like the upper level because it was really busy. We ended up sitting in a nice corner in the back. We had our privacy and liked the ambiance because it was bright.
Our server was very kind. We are a little picky and she went along with it. We were here on Wed when a wine bottle is 50% off. We asked for a taste of a couple of whites before choosing the bottle and I'm glad that we did because we ended up choosing our safe option - the Sauvignon Blanc from Crowded House, NZ. The others that we tried (a viognier and a Sauvignon from California) were not good. The bottle was priced around $50 so we got a great deal!
For food, we started with the spicy diavola pizza with tomato, mozzarella, spicy salami, evoo. The pizza was good. Thin crust, delicious, but not really spicy. It was pretty big - we got about 3 slices each. We ended up getting quite full but we wanted to try some of the entrees also. I got the chicken Marsala and my friend got the braised short rib. Both entrees were excellent. The short rib was a little too salty for me but my friend loved it. The meat fell off the bone very easily. The sauce was rich and the accompanying polenta and carrots were a good addition. The Marsala was one of the best I've had. Definitely on the side of more mushroom, which I love. The chicken was cooked well. The potatoes and veggies were cooked well too. Both portions were big and I ended up taking majority of the Marsala home. When eaten as leftovers the next day, it tasted delicious.
For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu. It came in a bowl that matches the tiramisu colors so initially we mistook the bowl for the dessert. The portion is huge. The tiramisu itself was ok. It had a lot of more cream than the ladyfingers or Expresso. It was a bit more sweet that I would've liked.
All in all, this was a good experience. We definitely like this restaurant more than their sister restaurant Fresco Cocina because these guys have more food options. Pricing wise, it is comparable to a nicer restaurant in Carlsbad. There is a street parking all around the restaurant. We shall be back!

The rigatoni vodka was the best I've ever had and the meatballs were incredible. We really liked the tropical margaritas. Will definitely be going back

Far too noisy. Also there were two dogs running around inside the restaurant. This is unacceptable. They were not service dogs.

Had a great dinner, rooftop was nice and service was good. The menu is pretty well rounded and the drinks and overall ambiance was nice.

Wow! Everything was amazing! I got the Seabass piccata, which one of the best meals I've ever eaten. The cocktails were creative and delicious. The AGM was gracious. The server was attentive. We set upstairs on the deck, which had music going and heaters and a nice fire pit. I highly recommend and we will definitely be going back.

The food was excellent and the service was as impeccable. The view from the roof top is beautiful. I wish they had the eggplant parm in!!! But the SeaBass was amazing.
