The evening ambiance (7pm) on a Saturday is fun and cozy. It seems to be a very popular restaurant because there weren't many tables available (we had a reservation). Inside (on my way to the restroom), it was quite loud. I'd recommend sitting outside, we did. Their outdoor heating lamps were very efficient (in the cold weather). They kept us comfortable. Our waiter, Emmanuel, was very kind and attentive. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Appetizers were yummy. We had the shrimp and scallops in a scrumptious butter sauce. The bread was soft, and the bruschcetta was perfect. All of the food was served super hot and tasted authentically Italian. We had one of their specials that night it was a seafood pasta, so creamy and delicious. We also had clams, chicken parmigiana, and an arugula salad with walnuts, cheese, and cranberries. For dessert, we had Tiramisu. I can't wait to go back and try different things on the menu.

This has been one of our favorite Italian eateries in Southern California; though we haven’t been here for a while due to all the new restaurants opening up here in Chino Hills/Chino area. The steak was excellent and true to medium rare with mash potatoes, crispy onions and spinach topped with mushroom sauce. The quality of the meat was very good. The pasta was excellent as in the past. For desert, we had the chocolate ganache with ice cream, which was a molten lava cake. It was very good, but very sweet. The service was wonderful and friendly. This is actually a rare find in a shopping plaza. It’s definitely worth checking it out.Vegetarian options: There were several non-meat pastas and pizzas.Parking: You can park either in front of the restaurant or in front of Lee’s Sandwich which the restaurant is right behind Lee’s sandwich.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, enough room to maneuver.
Their special menu every week is top notch! The cook is a master at his craft! Wonderful place and our new fav Italian restaurant by far! Highly recommend!!!!

First off the place is dated and the tables and chairs are cheap and uncomfortable. It was a cool evening, but they had the AC blasting and everyone was freezing even the people at the bar who overheard me ask if they could turn down the AC. The server was completely ignorant about the food and wine. When asked what reds they have by the glass she said Cabernet and Italian, when asked what Italian she said red and sweet like chocolate??? I went with the Cab. My wife ordered the Ribeye Steak at nearly $60, which turned out to be a $10 steak you could have gotten at Albertsons. She ordered medium and the steak came out rare, when sent back, half was medium rare and the other have well done. All the other dishes were extremely basic, spaghetti factory level, but ridiculously overpriced. This place is a total rip off, bad service and bad food. Horrible experience.
I've yet to try anything in their menú that I didn't absolutely love. Food is amazing, service if great. Highly recommend their mushroom pizza!
