I ordered a Filet mignon and this is what I got yesterday after waiting 45 minutes.

I’m a regular as of the last 6 months and my friends are now hooked too for brunch. The atmosphere is peaceful with a soft breeze on the patio dining area. The service and food is top notch. The parking near the entrance is plentiful. I’m almost afraid to boast too much about this hidden gem in Rancho San Diego because I love not having to wait to be seated. The breakfast menu is not big but they focus nicely on getting it all right and deliciously.

This wasn’t the best Italian restaurant. The pasta was not authentic but the lamb was tender. The sauce wasn’t too bad but could use a little salt. The service was not great. It seemed the waiter too busy to even refill water. I don’t think I would visit this establishment again.

My fav place for Italian. We love Italian food and we love to go and try new places but we always come back to our favorite place. We really like all their pizzas and pastas.

Our family had a delicious breakfast here, we would definitely recommend it. Food and service was great. We got the Dolci Benedict, the Banana and Nutella Crepes, the Fruit Bowl and the Pesto Buschetta and we were extremely satisfied. Thank you to our server, Roberto. We will definitely visit again (when ever we’re in town).

The staff knows what is going on in the kitchen, and they are very knowledgeable. We had the filet, and the Gorgonzola sauce was so good. My favorite was the penne Michelangelo. So good!

I came here with some family on 7/15/21 and it was great! I came here a few years ago for breakfast and my family didn’t like it but we came here for dinner and it was much better! We got pizza, salad, fish, and chicken and they were all delicious. We also got pistachio and hazelnut gelato and that was very good and flavorful! I got the salad and it was amazing! Everyone else loved their food. Overall, I will definitely be coming back!

This is a nice casual Italian restaurant to go to. We started with the arancini and pesto bruschetta. The bruschetta was really good! I had the Fettuccine Carticcio, which was supposed to be spicy, but was not. The seafood was cooked well, but the red sauce was a little bland and needed that spice it was missing. My friends had the “white pizza” and loved it. Another friend had one of the specials that had seafood and rigatoni with a pesto/cheese sauce (very mild pesto flavor) and enjoyed it. Then for desert we had the limoncello cake and tiramisu. Overall it was a good dinner, but with only one server and two helpers, service took a long time and was not the best it could have been.

Went here for the first time since moving to the area. The staff are very friendly and atmosphere is cozy. I think my salmon entree was done before the rest of the entrees because it wasn’t very hot (or at least the veggies and sauce/risoni/pasta [unsure what to call what the salmon was on top of] were not) when it came out. The salmon was still hot in the middle when I ate it, so that was good.
