Excellent customer service and live piano player set a nice atmosphere. Our server raved about every dish but we were sadly disappointed by the lack of flavor. Also, the prices displayed on their website are very outdated.

We ate an early dinner here and were impressed with the open, cheery atmosphere as well as the attention we received. The food was excellent and appropriately priced for the portion sizes. We would recommend to anyone in the La Jolla area for lunch or dinner.

What a gem! We were greeted by the chef, sat out on the patio and enjoyed a delicious meal! Mom had the Pomodoro appetizers for her main meal whereas I started with a bowl of Pasta y Fagioli. It was loaded with beans, tomatoes, pasta & prosciutto. I then had the Torteplini Milano (tortellini, prosciutto, peas and cream.) Oh my, it was wonderful!! I'm hoping to oder dessert, have my eye on the ricotta cheesecake... Delish! I wish we lived closer.. We'll definitely...
