Every dish we ordered was a stunner. We could literally taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. This is a neighborhood restaurant where the chef knows his Italian regional cuisines and how to bring out the best from seasonal California ingredients. The staff was...More

I had the pork panini - delicious, crispy - a treat for your senses plus it comes with tiny roasted potatoes that melt in your mouth. Great value for a sit-down restaurant with excellent quality.

The food is always great, but there are a few bad tables - particularly one next to the pass where the food comes out. Also tough on service when it's busy. But go for a great and reasonably priced delicious dinner.

Went here for a birthday dinner. The food was good, especially the pasta. The steak we ordered was cold and okay. Did not bother to send it back since our server was "busy". Our server can be seen drinking behind the bar and fawning over...More
