OMG, this place is so great. It only has about 10 tables in the front with a nice Italian feel. The food is amazing, my son and I had the spaghetti boganese. My wife had the lobster ravioli and my daughter had the salmon pasta. All the dishes were so good. The meal is saved with bread and butter. The house wine was delicious as well.

Family run business with exceptional food!! A must if you visit Balboa! The restaurant reminds me of small little restaurants in Europe with a great menu and all the plates with great flavor. Small wine menu but high quality with a good range of prices.

We visit Newport Beach every year, and have just found a hidden gem in Newport Beach. We are from Rochester NY which has several great Italian restaurants, but I can honestly say I just dined on the best lasagnia I’ve ever had. The owner is delightful, and the atmosphere is very European and quaint. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food and exceptional service! A real hidden gem on Balboa Island, right in the middle of everything but easy to miss. Will definitely return!
