Excellent ambiance inside + out, this is a diamond find. The food is consistently good, we come here often. I get the short rib and switch the polenta to mashed potatoes. The lamb chops also amazing.. Garlic knots are a staple. Family owned and awesome!

Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. Flavor was good, pasta was cooked al dente and meatballs were good, but the sauce was extremely watery. It was like I was eating spaghetti soup. I wanted to try and change it, but the waitress was pre occupied (she did provide friendly and professional service, considering it was busy) so I continued to eat it. Would love to try it again to upgrade the review and hopefully the sauce isn't so watery.

Had a wonderful experience! Afton provided the best service ever. She made us laugh and feel so welcome. We will definitely be coming back for their weekly specials. Thank you so much Afton for making our night a special one :) Happy to find a restaurant in Lemon Grove that I love.

My wife and I started with the roasted pear appetizer. It was excellent. I had the braised beef gnocchi and my wife had the truffle risotto. Both were very good. The portions were so large we didn't have room for dessert. Our server, Afton, was very attentive and friendly. We'll be back soon.

Had lunch with a few friends. My Italian paninni was boring and basic. Fries were delicious, calamari ok, price was expensive.

Went in with high hopes.... Food was good... Not sure what was happening in the kitchen but my dinner had to be packed to go... I watched my husband eat... The waitress was very sweet.

Short rib gnocchi was dry and gnocchi was over cooked and mushy. Sea bass dish was good. Calamari was chewy.

This place is a hidden gem. The food is excellent. The service is good. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.
I had a very disappointing experience delivering a package from this restaurant. I waited over an hour, and the staff kept telling me “10 more minutes” the whole time. This kind of treatment is very disrespectful, especially for people trying to do their job professionally and on time. I hope the owner sees this and takes action to improve how employees handle delivery drivers. Time is valuable, and this was a waste of mine.

Food was really good, the lasagna portion was a little small and salty not sure if it was the cheese or sausage. But generally a really good experience

I love your guys gnocchi the mixed flavors of the marinara sauce and pesto man I can't believe it took me this long to acknowledge that it is the best flavor of sauce I've had. It works well together and then I added the meat balls. Amazing. I loved it. Complements to the cook.
