Don't get to visit often enough. Love the pasta, Spaghetti Pomo doro. The Cesar salad is wonderful We enjoyed pizza and several desserts as well. The server was great and offered great wine suggestions too! Can't wait to visit again.

This restaurant has evolved over the past two years (or so) from average to outstanding. The food, wine pairings, craft cocktails and service are all five star.I would recommend the meatball appetizer and either papardelle or gnocchi for the main course.It may be upsetting to some that the tip is built in as a service charge but I tip 20-25% anyway. Also, if that helps attract and retain the good servers that they have, great!

Food is so expensive and your obligated to leave a 20 percent Tip so the owner can keep getting rich!

Minus a few stars for the mandatory 20% service fee. To be fair, the hostess told us when we were seated. But, what is the fee paying for? Decent restaurants usually state this--that it goes toward employee healthcare, or that the restaurant business is tough and without 20% more revenue they wouldn't be able to exist as a business. Is it just being pocketed by the folks who run the Pizza Antica chain?Note that fees like this may be illegal come July 1, 2024 when SB 478 becomes law, because you know, they're kind of deceptive. "California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who sponsored the bill, says the law prohibits 'fees in which a seller uses an artificially low headline price to attract a customer and usually either discloses additional required fees in smaller print or reveals additional unavoidable charges later in the buying process.'"

For a small $22 I expected a higher quality pizza. We ordered the kale pesto which is a seasonal flavor. It was good but not good enough to come back. The crust was tough and it just wasn’t the best pizza I’ve had. Automatic 20% service fee was applied. The mint strawberry lemonade was good and my friend ordered two glasses of Riesling. The olives were surprisingly good.

Love the salad. Pizza is the best I have ever tried so far.
The pesto gnocchi and sauce is so delicious that it's my go-to when I'm there. The potato pizza is good, so is the fennel sausage pizza. Friend has soup and she loved it. Drinks are yummy. Olive oil choco cake is moist and the warm cookie is really good. Great place to hang and chat.
This review is not for the restaurant but I had to post a review. I just bought a frozen margarita pizza in Ladera at Bianchi’s market and OMFG! I just came back from the Napoli Bay in Italy and the way the mozzarella melted into the crust has me shook. I think this is the best pizza I’ve ever had.

I don't have enough words to describe how our family loves pizza from this restaraunt. The atmosphere is cozy, sometimes too loud in popular time, but staff is very friendly. Potato pizza is my favorite and the best ever! Drinks fom the bar are very nica as well.Parking: Free public parking is nearby

We went for dinner with family, including small child. Ordered pizzas, salads, macaroni with tomato sauce, two rounds of beers and wines. Total spent over $300.00, the tip is automatically included. The food was less than average. Pizzas were small, about 10” round, very thin and very soggy, pale crust and the layer of cheese thin as a paper. I thought I was eating soggy cardboard. Salads were just ok, many leaves which are hard to catch with the fork with two sliced strawberries and some olive oil. Macaroni without any flavor, less than al dente, tough and hard to chew; poured over with a bit of water diluted red sauce. No condiments, such as shredded Parmigiano, red flakes pepper or olive oil with bread were offered. When requested, the waiter forgot to bring it. Very loud casual atmosphere with many children which is fine. However, food was lousy and too expensive. Do not recommend this place.Kid-friendliness: Many families with children.

The pizza was delicious and fresh. We built it off a base they had on the menu. We ordered the strawberry arugula salad wth the Marguerite pizza. The salad could have had a little bit more venegratte and more cheese.
