    Good food and great service. One of our dishes never made it out of the kitchen so we just cancelled it and they gave us free tiramisu.

    Came for Valentine's and was a little surprised at first when we were notified days after making the reservation that it was a fixed menu, but the food and care they gave was outstanding. An unassuming little restaurant that looks almost like a cafe was a fantastic experience of Italian cuisine made with love and not off a processed assembly line. The lobster ravioli was incredible, as was the mushroom soup and Caesar salad. The meatballs were so full of flavor, I'd go back just for them. We all tasted each other's foods, and couldn't decide which was best. The garlic pasta, pork chops and filet were amazing. Definitely going back to taste off the regular menu.

    It was an amazing time, even for our toddler. The chef was so interactive with our little one through the window and provided dough, sauce, and cheese to make his own pizza. It can be challenging to dine with little ones, but the entire staff engaged with our child and they had a blast thanks to the friendly staff. Food was amazing as usual - it is the best pizza you’ll have in California. Pasta was cooked to perfection as well. I look forward to visiting again with our little one.
