This review is more like a 4.5/5. This is a popular spot on a Saturday night. The interior is small and well decorated. We started with the calamari which was solid but the breading was a bit loose, the flavor was there though. Our service also brought out focaccia with a pesto/olive oil dip.

The egg plant bites were amazing, nice and crispy full of flavor.

It’s got to be one of the loudest restaurants in Orange County… the brick walls and the small tables make it very intimate and if you’re into that type of a atmosphere it is great!

Have dined here many times. We really looked forward to our dinner and booked a month ago. Our experience was very sub par and we were very disappointed. I am sure Chef Pirozzi would not have been please. Bummer

I just dined here recently since I heard it came under the management of Chef Pirozzi, and I must say what a transformation! The restaurant has definitely expanded and feels much more open and airy than the previous Salerno’s. In addition the decor is just lovely and full of beautiful details. Service was just excellent as well, everyone was very welcoming and attentive. But I must say the real star was the food, absolutely everything was delicious! Will be back again soon!

The employees were talking loudly and bantering across the room in spanish through our meal causing an unpleasant atmosphere. Not classy.
