This is our new favorite restaurant. Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Family owned and been there since ‘83. Staff is friendly with large portions leaving you very satisfied. The food tastes out of this world making you wonder how they do it. Highly recommended! Go see James.

I’m 5 months pregnant and work in healthcare, so after a long shift, I was really looking forward to picking up dinner from Pasta Connection—one of my longtime favorites. I scheduled a pizza pickup for 5:05 PM. My husband and I arrived on time, and when it wasn’t quite ready yet (no big deal), we politely asked if we could wait on the patio.

The pizza didn’t come out until 5:45, and when it finally did, a waitress came out with major attitude and told us rudely that if we planned to sit and eat, we “should’ve called.” That was never our plan—we were just waiting for our order. My husband calmly let another staff member know we were only waiting for the pizza and weren’t sure why she was being snippy.

Instead of owning it, the waitress gave a half-hearted apology and rolled her eyes at me. Super unprofessional. We still left a decent tip out of respect for the other staff, but we will not be returning. Really sad, because we’ve loved this place for years—but I won’t support a business that treats loyal customers this way.

Unfortunately, not great. They only have meat for people with celiac disease
The meat is amazing but the portions are too small. I had to go back home to cook a full dinner and eat again.

It's kind of hard to find really good quality and authentic Italian-Argentine restaurants and markets in southern California but this place hits the spot. Especially with the pasta, empanadas and sandwiches de miga, the food is authentic and delicious, and you always experience a great atmosphere with good service here.

It is a very disgusting place, not hygienic at all. The owner is sullen, the employees are like bad movie characters. I never recommend it, don't go

The place was really cute inside and relaxing. We ordered a beef empanada which was unexpectedly my favorite dish of the evening, and I got a small salad.the creamy Italian dressing was amazing. For the main dish he got the Alfredo (sooo good!) I got the manicotti. But regretted not getting a meat filling or meat sauce. Next time I want to try their pizza. We definitely enjoyed and will be visiting again.

We were able to make reservations for a group of 12 for lunch. The portions are large, and can be shared. Very fresh ingredients. Our teen granddaughter and her friend said it was the best pizza they have ever eaten . I had the chicken salad, beautiful thin strips of grilled chicken and many fresh vegetables.

The reviews don't lie. Read some more of them.

Huge portions.
Family environment. (Plan to wait a bit longer than other places but not crazy long.)

Food is an amazing blend of flavors. Presentation is beautiful. (So pumped I forgot to take pics.)

Plan to spend some money on your family here. You get what you pay for and then some.

Thank you!

The best Italian food in the city, probably in the whole county of Orange, they are spectacular.

A quaint little restaurant serving Italian classics and select Argentinean options. The service is quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. The portions are perfect to finish in one sitting. Will update when I've gone back to try dessert.
