Great local spot. The service staff were attentive and friendly. Love the atmosphere here. There’s inside and heated outside patio seating. Portions were perfect. Pasta was cooked al dente. We had the bruschetta, linguine with clams and mussels and crivello lasagne. The main entrees come with bread, soup or salad. Everything is a spot on. Thank you !

Fantastic little Italian eatery….it’s been in business 20 years or so at the same location I believe. Amazing food…everything I’ve tried is to die for….Extremely friendly staff, they make you feel like family from the moment you step in…there is a gorgeous fenced in patio that is wonderful on summer nights, with standing heaters for cooler winter evenings.They also have an eclectic wine selection…all food is fresh and made to order. They have separate lunch and dinner menus…both menus have something for everyone…this time for lunch I had the spinach tortillini but paired it with a Alfredo cream sauce and it literally melted in my mouth….My favorite dish here is by far the shrimp saffron risotto, its heavenly. Not sure if its on the menu but the chef will make it for you if you order it. Try it restaurant…you won’t be disappointed. Its kind of like Cheers…a large group of warm friendly regulars, mainly at the bar. Either way I’m constantly greeted with hellos from everyone..great local place.

Foodgasms for sure! Everything was fantastic and paired well with Pinot Noir for me and Sour Apple Martini for hubby. Salads were so delicious Chicken Marsala along with Eggplant Parmesan for entrees. Shrimp Crivello appetizer and followed up with the best Tiramisu. Hands down the best meal we had all year!

I’m an Italian girl from NJ, I’ve eaten at alot of bad Italian restaurants in California in my 25 years living here but this is definitely the worst. It took all my might to cut the piece of chicken I ordered, I could barely chew it down. My husband’s lasagna was like soup. The side salad was tasty. The bread was generic. They gave us 4 small squares and wouldn’t refill it when the meal came out as my husband likes to dip it in the sauce. Cute place but the food is awful.

Service was great, nice local Italian place. Wine selection looked decent for both whites and reds. Our pasta main entrees were decent, would have liked the cream sauce on the one to be actually creamy and not so watery. Post COVID kitchen may just be a bit rusty.

I ran Italian fine dining restaurants in NYC for years and this is the only place I’ve been too in CA that has the feel of home!! Not only is the food good (highly recommend the bruschetta, and the recipes proper, so much Italian food is just past and sauce. No, each pasta dish has a specific traditional recipe and they respect that)…everyone knows each other. Every person that walks through the door is known by name and greeted like they are family. That’s an Italian restaurant.

A maze ing!! Seriously can’t say more than that, staff was so nice and friendly (even though I was kinda dressed scrubby) so helpful and kind and genuinely happy. The bartender even brought out the bottle of liquor to show us after we asked what my drink was made of… Seriously love this place!

Not so good food and TERRIBLE SERVICE! Took 30 minutes to get someone to take our order and another 20 minutes to see food. we spent almost an hour waiting for our first bites of food. and then at the end we had a discrepancy on the bill and they ended up reaming us over it. We ordered a bacon and spinach salad and they served us a spinach salad with no bacon and would not take it off the bill. I left no tip which is very unusual for me. Read my reviews. I’m always happy to forgive small issues. This place was terrible on every level. And to make it even worse, the food we did receive was WAY overpriced. Adrian badd service OK food no value… avoid this place

I’ve lived here in fountain valley for over 25 years and never tried their food. We went last night and I have to say it was the best itialian food I’ve ever had. We will be going again real soon. My compliments to the chef and George who was our server, he was amazing always checking to see if we needed anything. Great place to eat and relax.
