Great lunch specials to choose from! $17 includes drink. Happy hour food and drink specials too. Looks like old world Italy inside. Creme brulee was amazing with fresh fruit! Worth the visit!

I've been coming to this place for great pasta for over a decade. My co-workers and I used to avail of their lunch specials because they were reasonably priced and delicious. I took my daughter out for dinner, and sure enough, we had the same great dining experience. The best thing we ate that night? The burrata, arugula, asparagus, and prosciutto appetizer! It was seriously quite decadent!
Desserts could be better but all around food was excellent

Good food and dessertsGigantic portionsGood wineVegetarian options: Many items on the menu can be ordered by vegetariansDietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsParking: Always busy...you can find parking if you don't mind taking a short walkWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for wheelchairs
Ok.. this is a VERY nice place to go on a second or even third date. To me it was quiet, private, quaint, and romantic, the prices were decent and the food was tasty. Serving sizes were also in good proportion. I highly recommend the side of meatballs. I ordered the vegetarian lasagna, it was ok, but it had no vegetables. I honestly think it should be called cheese lasagna. We also ordered a side of dates, blue cheese and bacon. That was delicious! I will definitely go again.

This family business started over 30 years ago in a very small location in downtown La Verne, CA. I was introduced to them by a friend around 1990. His family lived in La Verne, we were in college together at UCR. About the year 2000, after returning to Upland where I worked in a nearby law office, I was worried when the family opened this location where at least 3 restaraunts previously failed. We have been having lunches and dinners here and La Verne ever since. Never had a bad meal. Prices are still very reasonable for the quality foods they prepare and serve. Home made breads, warm out of the oven, great sandwiches and entrees. You won't be dissappointed!
Wasn’t busy, but no one was at the front door, and I waited around for several minutes watching 5-6 people just mess around in the kitchen. Not good service.

The food was delicious. I suggest the chicken Parm. The only disappointment was that the restaurant charges for bread. Other than that the service was outstanding.Parking: Street parking is plentiful but be prepared to battle the elements
Very good Italian food which is now my second time going here. I wanted to try something else, but the Chicken Parm is amazingly good.

Came here multiple times before, but today will be the last time, this place became a mediocre taste. . Overpriced everything, including you have to pay for a basic bread now. Their full menu, doesn’t include anything as well and salad and soup are all separate prices.
Not only the best restaurant in Upland but one of the best anywhere .
