This place has seriously good food. The Caesar salad is the best salad I’ve ever had. I also had the seafood pasta which amazing. It had so many different types of fish in it I couldn’t keep track and the sauce is so creamy and delicious. I highly recommend for a romantic date night and authentic Italian food!

The photo is of a new dish on the fall menu, beef cheeks with polenta. The shiny stuff on the beef cheeks in the middle of the sea of polenta is gold leaf. Besides looking photo worthy, the dish tasted (and was as rich as) it looks.

It tasted like someone poured a whole container of salt on it. Won't be going back. Very loud customers and they also broke dishes. Waiter was attentive though.

Well I turned 21 and came here to celebrate and I had heard good things about the place and I wasn't disappointed, all the food I had was amazing but specifically the roasted vegetables and fried calamari were beyond divine

We loved our experience, and atmosphere dinged because the tables at so close together. Staff hustles and works as an efficient team to serve the diners with style. Menu was great and the rabbit and pasta we had delicious. Cesar salad was yummy. Tiramisu was light and a great way to cap off a vert nice evening. Good cocktails as well. Would look forward to another meal if we lived here.

Fantastic cocktails and amazing, authentic Italian dishes. My husband had a steak cooked to perfection and I had a pasta that was perfectly al dente. Hands down the best Italian in the area.

Beautiful restaurant, the sun room reminded me of small cafe in Italy, the food was delicious. Absolutely impeccable. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful dinner. I wish I lived in California, I would definitely be returning to this restaurant. Thank you for making our 25th Anniversary a memorable one.

We’ve been here twice now and it is outstanding! We get the ribeye and the bolognese and they are both 10/10. Last night we added the tortelloni ragu and it was no exaggeration the best dish I’ve ever had in my entire life. Both times, Mike has been our waiter and he is incredible. Very personable and very warm. This will forever be our go to spot for incredible food and amazing atmosphere. Not to mention, the owner visits the tables and is incredibly warm and friendly. Everything about this place is above and beyond!

Oh my goodness what a wonderful meal! A busy Saturday night with a packed house… A little noisy, but that’s OK. We were seated promptly at a cozy little table.
Start out with an Apperal spritz and a delicious glass of Prosecco. Georgia C. Guided us through our meal tonight. We started out with one green salad and one Caesar salad. Produce was exceptionally fresh.
For a main course we split the Orecchiette special veal, and rabbit in a light broth that they called a white sauce. Paired with a couple of glasses of vermentino . Not the best wine Pairing buttbut still tasty. Fabulous, flavorful and al dente pasta. Perfecto!
We finished with house made gelato of salt and caramel.
All said a delightful dinner with great service we look forward to coming back again and sampling other menu options. Thanks again to Georgia for great service.

The worst experience ever.
Do not order from this restaurant. The delivery arrived with a horrible smell, like it had just spoiled. We ordered the carpaccio, and they sent a salad with no meat at all. Absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, they don’t even deserve the one star.
