We heard this place was good so decided to give it a try. We were planning a party and asked about catering; we received one phone call and said they’d get back to us, but never heard back from anyone even after leaving a few messages.We tried the restaurant three times and we never had a good meal. We really wanted to like it because our favorite Italian restaurant closed when the owners retired. We thought each time maybe it’s just what we’re ordering so we kept trying. Well, we’re not trying any more! So glad they never called us back for our party.
The most unexpected place to find the best Italian food in OC. This little gem is truly magnificent! The cheese ravioli with vodka sauce is delightful. The lasagna is incredible. The chicken and mushroom risotto is out of this world! All the classics like fettuccine alfredo and chicken piccata are full of flavor and make you keep wanting to come back! Not a thing on the menu has disappointed! We have been coming often since we discovered it a little over a year ago.
Might be good if you love lots of olive oil..it was too much for me. I ordered brushetta and it was soaked in it. The pesto was great the first time ..sampled it..but when I ordered it...nothing like what they brought me to sample. Sad...not for me.
Good fresh white bass, had with spag bolognese and salad. Bread if you want. Had dessert and coffee. Lot of staff, service. Dine inside or outside tented/covered patio. Definitely try this place if you fancy Italian. Good coffee served here.

Love this place. So authentic and cosy. The waiter, Matthew, is wonderful. The right kind of attentive. The food is delicious and spot on. After all, Giuseppe, the owner and cook is from Italy.
Everything was ok, but not blowing us away. Will I come back? If a family meet-up is the choice here, then yes. A bit pricey for ok food...I was hoping for a new favorite
Excellent quality food. Above average portions. Incredibly delicious for a shopping plaza restaurant. Not sure where they source the prosciutto, but it was amazing.
Delicious food. Great service. Personable staff. Warm atmosphere. Will definitely go there again. I had (vegetarian of course) fettuccine arabiata.
