Food was good! They forgot a dish so we had to wave them down towards the latter half of our meal but they were able to get the dish for us once asked. It’s a bit hard to get their attention though so we were trying a bit to get water, etc. It’s a big place though- a lot bigger than it seemed outside. I’ll definitely be back to try the other dishes.

This restaurant surprised me… The food is extremely good! Don’t let the neighborhood vibe throw you off. They care!! Started with a fabulous deep ruby colored Lambrusco ‘Tradizione Zanasi’ at $52–incredibly reasonable. The Fried Calamari is highly recommended as it’s one of the best I have had!! Fried with spicy red peppers and Italian parsley served with a fabulous homemade Tartar. Next a Gem lettuce Market Salad tossed with a light lemon dressing was perfect! The bread, although $12, was worth it–a quarter loaf of Sourdough Rye with butter. The Minestrone Soup was rich and full of flavor topped with Parmesan cheese. Finally the Entrees were well prepared–a respectable cheeseburger with a fabulous ‘special sauce’, caramelized onions and amazing parsley fries!! Also a homemade Gnocchetti with fresh mushrooms and finished with Breadcrumps and thyme. Service was a bit slow toward the end of the meal but the bartender jumped in and took over which was appreciated. The ambience inside is “foody” style smaller wooden tables with small candles. I think that table cloths are well deserved here and would be welcomed! There a few tables in the main room where the bar sits and then about a dozen tables in the nest two rooms. There is also a more casual outdoor area that is basically candle-lit wooden picnic tables. But dont worry–they care a lot more about the food than anything else and it shows from start to finish! Will return soon!!

Perfect for any occasion! We here last night for dinner with a few friends. We shared an appetizer and got one entree each which was enough but I wanted to try more on the menu!

The dinner experience this evening was amazing. The patio seating is designed in such a way to create a neighborly vibe. The items on the menu are exquisite. Nick has such a warm and welcoming energy. He took his time answering questions regarding several items on the menu. His poetic explanation for the dishes brought them to life. We enjoyed the market salad, meatballs and polenta for appetizers. The main dishes Jidori roasted chicken and Gnocchetti were delicious. The chef married the ingredients for these dishes to perfection. The staff is very friendly and down to earth. Very cool vibe.

This rating is based solely on my first impression of this location. Having recently moved to the area; I tend to spend my evenings walking throughout the neighborhood, exploring and hoping to find gems such as this establishment. I fully intend on dining here either in person or at least through their online ordering process before weeks end. At which point i fully expect to upgrade my rating to a 5-star (unless a 6-star becomes available). Either way the ambiance is divine and all the customers seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their meals and company! BTW I first encountered this location @ 9p.m. on Friday 6/24

Lovely, cozy Italian place. Great minestrone soup and their kale sausage pasta is highly recommended! The octopus had very strong grill and seafood flavors so that’s for the hardcore seafood lovers 🙂

Wow, what a delicious meal! I’ve driven past this place so many times over the years and never stopped by. Really glad I did! Some of the best Italian food I’ve had in the city. Service was great, friendly vibe. Atmosphere is cozy and warm.

I’m usually not harsh about a food review but this was pretty bad . Me and my buddy decided to try this spot out since we live in the neighborhood and figured might be something new or interesting . We had several appetizers and both got the bolognese .the appetizers were packed with salt and flavor was lacking . The bolognese was so unimaginative and I wouldn’t have minded , if it was more traditional in nature but it wasn’t & was just so bland. My buddy works as a chef in Malibu and said “ I think that bolognese sauce came from a can” . Also , While I was disputing a charge for an item they never brought out another waiter took the plate out from under me , there was tons of food left on it and I would’ve at least given it to my dogs considering it was like 27$ . They were In such a rush to get people in & out . For a 100$ bill and we ordered no alcohol really a ridiculous place . Excited to never go back .

Amazing food! It’s hard to find a place where every dish you order is really well done. Every single dish I’ve ordered here has been really really good. So happy we discovered this local gem.
