Delicious. We went on a whim based off google reviews and it did not disappoint. We got the meatballs which melted in your mouth, followed by salad, ravioli and rigatoni pizzocoto as our entrees. The wait staff recommended a Tuscany wine which paired great with our meal. They were perfectly proportioned and tasty. Pasta was cooked perfectly. We had the mouse chocolate cake for dessert which was moist and light. Perfect dinner. Wait staff was fast and made great recommendations. We will definitely be back.

When we sat down we were served bred with an amazing marinara sauce. Pasta is delicious here. I got the linguine Mediterrano with white wine sauce. The shellfish was so fresh. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Wow. We *just* ate here and WOW. The Lobster Ravioli & Tira Misu were divine! Mouth watering …. we chose this place because it was much less “peopley” than places further down the strip. We made the right call. It wasn’t very busy – but honestly … it should be continuously packed because the food is *that* good.

My dad and I have been going here for years. It is our go-to Italian food spot in North County. They have the best marinara sauce!

We have been there for dinner and lunch. Both times were very enjoyable. The food were great and so were the servers. The lunch order came with a good size salad. First time seeing more seafood than pasta. The squid ink pasta buried under the seafood has good texture. Rack of lamb, yum yum. Definitely will go back and bring friends.

We eat here two or three times a year and make the trek from Oceanside as it has always been a favorite. Unfortunately, last night was a huge disappointment. Perhaps we just got there at a bad time as it was very crowded and almost unbearably loud inside. The bus boy brought bread to the table with the usual marinara dip and when we asked for some olive oil and balsamic, he gruffily replied, “Ask the waiter!”. The waiter didn’t show up for another fifteen minutes and by the time we got the olive oil, the bread was cold and tough and not worth the effort. After we finally ordered dinner, another bus boy brought us someone else’s order, then took it back, even though it was the same as ours. If I were that other table, I wouldn’t have wanted the order after it was delivered elsewhere. We had to pour our own wine as the waiter was so busy, then when our orders finally arrived, my lemon chicken risotto was overcooked and chicken was tough and almost inedible. All in all, a very subpar experience from what was once one of our favorite restaurants in the area. We are unlikely to return.

We come from Naples Florida each year for a month. I read the reviews and saw a picture of the lamb chops which looked delicious. I made a reservation and showed our waitress a picture of them and asked if they actually looked like them. She assured me they would. I am so glad I ordered them. They were perfection. the 8 lollipop chops were the best! I will return again for sure

I had dinner here Valentine’s Day evening with my partner, it was absolutely superb. For starters I had the fritto miso, which is the fried calamari and zucchini and a shrimp bisque. My partner had the minestrone. I could’ve eaten an entire pot of that bisque, it was so rich and creamy but not heavy at all. My partner had the penne nonino for his main and I had the scampi seranata, again absolutely delicious, my mouth is actually watering remembering my meal and it’s been weeks we had a nice bottle of the Sauvignon Blanc – pasa robles which accompanied our meal perfectly. In addition to an absolutely excellent meal was the service! The staff were great, we never had to wait for plates to be taken, they were very attentive and made sure we were taken care of all night. I highly recommend this restaurant, and for the quality of food you get the price is great too. We will definitely be back.

We went there for a date. Excellent service! Portions are good, reasonable prices. Excellent wine menu. Although the food needs a bit more flavor. It’s a small place, so we recommend to make a reservation. We ordered only apps: fried calamari, carpaccio and antipasto.

Make reservations, it’s hard to get in here! The food is AMAZING. The pork was top notch and the meat falls off the bone. The risotto was soooo good too. This is not a restaurant you want to go cheap on, you will be disappointed. The other dish was pasta with sausage and a white wine juice (I don’t remember the name) but it was also great, very flavorful but it doesn’t compare to the pork.
