Our server was great and very attentive and the atmosphere is really cozy. I ordered the veal piccata, which was good, except for the fairly small portion of pasta. I had also asked for it to be al dente, but it came out so soft that it was crumbling on itself. The meal was overall good, with the mushroom caps appetizer being a standout.

The food is made to order so it's always fresh, and I love the ambiance of the place. It's feels like your in a little café in Italy and you get to listen to music while your eat. We go here often.

My husband comes from an Italian family and let's just say, it is legit!
We brought my father in law here, and it bought back memories for him.
The Italian dressing was so close of tasting like his father's recipe!
If you want some great Italian food, you must come here!

Visiting from out of town and we were staying close by. We ordered the lasagna and chicken picata. The picata was not our fav BUT the lasagna 10/10, just like grandma cooked it! The service was stellar and Joe even came out to check on us. I asked for an iced tea to go and they don’t have to go cups but when I tell you they made sure I left with my tea, they made SURE. Such a fun, quiet and authentic experience!

We have dined here for 27 years. We loved ever visit. The Food is always excellent and the service is warm, caring and attentive. It's the most romantic dining in Escondido... but what do we know ... we've only been married for 56+ years ❤️

Simply amazing! Everything was made to order, so be patient, it’s worth it!
Very old school Italian restaurant. Always good food and great service. Wish we lived closer. Escondido to Carlsbad is a long drive after dinner.

Family and the kids loved loved it. The passion for customer service is incredible. This is one of my favorite Italian meals, you feel part of the family. Reasonably priced and great wine. 5 stars

I visited my friends in Escondido and went here we had stuffed mushrooms appetizer, manicotti and veal parmesan and chicken cannelloni every bit tasty, fresh and delicious. Kudos to the chef because it was simply delicious. Nothing more to add. Thanks

Then get to dinner, all I can say is why the hell isn't the line across the entire county? It's not cheap but you'll not get a more authentic Italian meal! Joe you are amazing!!!!

Wanted to come here and found the best Italian food in town. Jose the chef personally came out and brought our plates that he specially prepared for us and it was so delicious. Thank you so much sweetheart we love you and are so proud of you! Thanks also to Maria, one of the lovely girls that also helped us. Best service!
