My only complaint is I couldn’t sit outside with the heat lamps, hahaha. But this will be my second visit, and my oh my this time I order the cioppino, man oh man, I will be coming back for this dish again, the salmon was melt in your mouth good, the broth was chef’s kiss. On the flip side, my friend got the spaghetti, and that was okay. It was spaghetti, nothing to complain about.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. We got the specials they offered and my Dad had the linguine with clams. He enjoyed it and ate the whole thing! There were lots of clams! The waiter was very attentive and the place was cheery and open, lots of light. I will definitely go back there.

Had dinner here with party of 5 last week, and unfortunately wasn’t our best experience. Sat down for a 6:30 reservation and it felt like our waitress wanted to slow down everything. We couldn’t give her our orders until 7:10. Food was then served at 7:40. Waiting 70 minutes to receive food is never going to end in a positive experience.

In all honesty there is so much to talk about here I just don’t want to go into so much detail but throughout it all I would have liked the food to at least make up for it all. The food was just “okay.” Save your money and if you want Italian food just go to Olive Garden. Seriously.

The sauce on the Linguini Crostacei was amazing! Very good dish. I loved the filling inside the Ravioli Di Zucca, however the pasta was cooked less than Al Dente and was a little hard, also too much pasta to filling ratio. And the sauce on the ravioli didn’t have a lot of flavor but overly decent dish. The waitress was extremely friendly and we let her choose our dessert for us! It was also delicious. Would come back again!

A very popular place in a smaller town called Orcutt. Very traditional Italian food. It is a bit pricey but the food was unique and homemade. I had the pumpkin ricotta ravioli in a sage cream sauce. It was very obvious that the ravioli was homemade and the cream sauce was delicious. It needed salt which is something I rarely say. On a Tuesday night, however, it was relatively crowded and out of all of the places in town it was the only one that had cars throughout the parking lot. They also have delicious desserts and an decent wine list.

We had a delicious dinner on a rainy night. The pumpkin safe ravioli were good as well the pork chop (the night’s special). My favorite were the Meatballs. The sauce tasted as if someone’s italian Nonna made it. The only item that was bland was the tiramisu.

My wife and I come here once a week for date night and usually sit in the bar area. Their wait staff is awesome. Always smiling and really friendly to everyone. Alfonso the owner comes out and checks on tables and makes sure you are having a great time and that your meal is to your liking. He has a phenomenal menu that he curated. We have eaten almost everything from pizza to chicken piccata to lasagna and chicken parm. My favorite is his Cioppino. Kudos to Alfonso and his team of greatness!

Excellent choice for Italian food! We had the Fettuccine Bolognese and the Involtini di Melanzana(Eggplant) and both were delicious! We started with a Clam Chowder that was also great. Our server, Jennifer, was fantastic as well! Very personable and friendly, and knowledgeable! Will definitely return and will be asking for Jennifer! Definitely would recommend this restaurant!
