Elegant, classy, beautifully appointed. We loved the cuisine...appetizers, salads, main, desserts and coffee! The service by Irene, ambiance, the florals, trees, hues...the open door breezes and music wafting...viva la Italia!! 🇮🇹

Great service and very attentive. She was sweet and great conversation with her. I wish I could have asked for her name.

We went on a Saturday night, and it took 10 minutes for the hostess to acknowledge us. When we were sat, we were informed that they were not serving alcohol because “the bar was backed up.” We then left. I do not recommend this place.

I loved having lunch here. I had a pizza and it was so soft and delicious. It literally dissolved in my mouth. It is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend.

We came here on Valentine's Day 2025, so they were serving a very select menu - a prix fixe menu, or a limited variation or their regular dinner menu. We ordered the spaghetti & meatballs and chicken parmigiana. Both were good, but the meatballs of the spaghetti & meatballs were surprisingly good, despite reviews on other sites saying they tasted like kitchen tap water. Maybe we came on a good day? We also shared a margherita pizza, which was also good. The dough had the desired yeasty, brick oven flavor and the sauce and cheese were quite tasty as well. Overall, the food was good. The prices were a bit steep, but you're paying for the atmosphere too. Would definitely come again.

Too expensive, only two dishes to choose from no variety. Took too long to serve. Even with reservations still waited to be seated.

Food was ok for the price, but I've had much better Italian cuisine in Southern California. Beautiful venue for a lunch or dinner.

The food was delicious. The service was fantastic. It's a beautiful area. The hotel is beautiful the restaurants beautiful down side that we was we ordered garlic bread wasn't ready and rolls weren't ready. It was early in the evening. They already out so I feel like that's kind of questionable being an Italian restaurant, but they made it up and it was delicious.

Location is lovely. The decor is not in sync with the building's aesthetic. Food was passable, service was okay to begin with but faded as the evening progressed. Took too long to pay to be able to leave.

So out the gate we're told theirs no Garlic Bread. Ok, Nurse Maria order Spaghetti and Meatballs and I the Captain order Chicken Parmigiana. The Duck orders Mineral Water, I ordered a Sangria. Food come out in record time (Real fast) like too fast. The Ducks meatballs are questionable due to the darkness of the meat. And my Chicken Parmigiana taste like Chicken Piccata. It was a chicken breast that looked like parmigiana but tasted like Piccata and no amount of salt was able to change it. The pasta that accompanied it was, just blah. Listen they won't bring you a spoon to use with the pasta unless you ask. Stay away, goto California Pizza Kitchen and get a decent meal. Don't let the nice name throw you.
