Travel Bause
Vibrant atmosphere…food and drinks were outstanding. Our server was always there when we needed him, despite the restaurant being very crowded. The reservation was for 4:45 because all the best slots were taken. We still ended up staying for almost 3hours. Beautiful staff and excellent decor. Great indoor outdoor opportunities too. All in all. Thumbs up

Indoor and outdoor seating, both very nice dining options! Food was great and was much better than anticipated. Definitely will return as the food tasted great and had a nice dining experience as well.

The food has been consistent. That’s why we like this place. But we looked forward to arancini but they replaced it with bocconcini which was equally as good. We really appreciated our server John. Meatballs good but a little cool in center but the sauce was hot. The grilled bread was delicious. I had the salmon on the arugula salad which was good. And the chicken Parmesan is delicious the butter cheese penne, yum. My one complaint is our appetizers were all delivered before I got my glass of wine.. that drives me crazy. I’d give it less stars but our server made up for it at other times.

The place is great for behaved pets. The food was lacking but the drinks were delicious. The carpaccio was overly seasoned with sauces. All I tasted was the sauce. Sub par taste on the pasta.

Great servers that actually care about their customers! Very busy, always a good sign. Decent wine selection. We enjoyed the Fontodi wine classic clean finish. The dinners were great. A don’t miss Italian spot in Orange County!

Great service. Great food. The appetizers were awesome. It’s our first time here with friends. The garlic bread with truffle butter was amazing. Our calamari tasted like it was breaded with funnel cake. The meat balls were really good. I don’t recommend the tropical margarita get a regular one.

Came in for a late dinner on a Friday night and while it was busy, the wait went quickly and there were warm heaters outside for us. Once seated we were quickly greeted by our amazing server, Robby. The pastas were both delicious (bolognese + squid ink) and you can definitely taste the North Italia difference. Fresh, fresh, fresh!
