The beet salad was very good. Also enjoyed the veal saltibocca and the lasagna. Unique old school Italian restaurant feel only a block from the beach.

We recently moved to the neighborhood and had high hopes since this spot is close to us. Sad to say, we should have listened when a couple before us left saying their experience was “tragic”.
It started with the extraordinarily long wait to get in. Then another extraordinarily long wait when we ordered the wine. When the waitress finally did bring the bottle of wine over, she only gave my (male) dining companion a sample. Which honestly in this day and age felt pretty insulting. How hard would it have been to let us both try?
It was another long wait to order our food; a table next to us was seated, ate, and left before we even ordered entrees. Several tables around us who were seated after us also got food long before we did. In all it was over an hour after we got seated before we got what we ordered.
It didn’t help to see one of the owners schmoozing with and checking in on other diners while we waited endlessly with an empty table.
All this may have been forgiven if the food was good. But it was honestly one of the worse meals we have had.
The arugula salad was wilted and dry, with underripe fruit. Giant chunks of dry feta.
The cioppino was overcooked so all the seafood in it was tough and chewy and flavorless. It also had almost nothing but squid?? felt very cheap to be honest.
The “special” “ribeye” streak was the icing on the cake- paper thin, mostly gristle and fat, and decidedly well done when we ordered medium rare. Although I guess with such a thin piece off meat it would be impossible to not overcook. Dennys does a better steak and I am not exaggerating.
Definitely not worth the wait and the disrespect.
We will not be back.
EDIT- i found out today, that the restaurant fraudulently added a significant tip without my consent. After a night of the worst service of my life. this is illegal, and I plan to contact my legal representation.
This establishment is criminal and needs to be shut down.

Was such a good time with INCREDIBLE food. We went here on a whim and I am so happy we did. Their ravioli is incredible and we got the seasonal appetizer – also amazing. Would come again. If they offer you garlic bread, it is $7. But food is so good!!! Phone did not eat first

Food and service were fantastic!
Menu is extensive.
I had Ravioli with spinach, husband had veal picata, cousin had sand dabs and another cousin have the baked ziti. The evening was amazing!
We are going back on the 14th of November for our Anniversary.
Thank you for a special evening.

My biggest complaint is that the waitress recommended a special, which I ordered and it ended up being $36 for a plate of ravioli. It’s my fault for not asking the price, but when it’s just ravioli and other equivalent dishes on the menu are around $18, it felt like a scam. My bill ended up being $60. I guess this is cali for ya.

Had a lunch here
Pretty good and similar to Italian food ( similar…..)
But taste of linguini with scallops (add shrimps ) were good … little bit overcooked but it’s OK…
Service is good .
Maybe needs a little refurbish ..

If you are looking for a cute cozy and yummy american italian dinner, you found it! I cant believe i have never tried this place, we will definitely be back. The bruschetta was refreshing and melts in your mouth, and the calamari was crispy and fresh without being overly oily. The chicken parm was delicious and THE GNOCCHI!!! it is so hard to find really good gnocchi, and this place has it. I am full and happy
