Reviews
This is not a high end type Italian restaurant. It’s simpler fare but has quite an extensive menu with lots of options. For example, my shrimp scampi could be prepared in 3 or 4 different styles. I opted for the Italian style which is the traditional garlic, olive oil and lemon. It was outstanding with loads of garlic which I love!
What I find unusual about this restaurant is you can really customize your meal, adding things, changing things, getting choices in a types of meat or sauces etc.
My partner ordered the #4 combo with ravioli ( several types to choose from), lasagna ( beef or veggie) and spaghetti with meatballs ( chicken or beef) . So many options!
There is a large room but we were tucked away in a back room so it was easy to talk. Good for New Year’s Eve! We will definitely return!
While the pasta (whoops, no photos this time) wasn’t exactly traditional Italian, it had a different kind of appeal that I still enjoyed.
It’s not a place I would frequent, but I wouldn’t mind returning for another visit.
We celebrated my Grandpa’s birthday and they brought him a desert with candle. we sung Birthday song and a few voices around us joined us. It was a great evening for the whole family. The food is delicious, Table arrangements is professional and server kept coming to ask whether we are ok and this felt human presence unlike other Places with robots.
When we finally DID get our food… It looked horrible. One of us got a single meatball in their meatball dish. and then it was just cold pasta and ketchup on top. my sister got pesto rottini and it was again, just cold pasta with pesto on top. The pictures do it justice. My mother got fettucine chicken alfredo and she said it was ok, but she did not finish it. Mine was the best: I got the eggplant parmigiana and since it was a dinner entree, i got minestrone soup and a side of penne pasta with it. the pasta was horrible.
And then we did not see our waiter for the rest of our visit. There were PLENTY of waiters. Maybe 1 person for every 2 tables… but why did we not see any waiter come ask us if we wanted refill on our water or sodas?
We actually had to get up and go to the front desk to ask for our check and leave because we were there for almost 2 hours… and only about 20 minutes of it was spent eating.
Oh and we finally got the good bread (best part of our meal) with our food so i guess that was good. Also the interior was nice. But that’s it.
Olive Garden and Old Spaghetti Factory are better than this pathetic excuse for a restaurant.
We went on a Wednesday night and it wasn’t that busy. They had the Dodgers game on the tvs, not something you would expect at a nice Italian restaurant. It was obvious that the staff were watching the game.
The hand painted Italian countryside murals are a nice touch.
Their complimentary appetizer is carrots, pepperoncini peppers and ranch. Not a favorite for the table. Typically for most Italian restaurants, they give fresh bread with roasted garlic or olive oil. The Garlic Bread, which comes with certain meals, was tasty.
We tried:
(For all pasta, they were perfectly al dente)
Alfredo with angel hair pasta, bacon, and chicken – very creamy. Bacon could have crispier.
Angel Hair with creamy pesto and shrimp – not as creamy. Seemed more like pesto than creamy pesto. Needed more flavor.
Chicken Parmigiana – the marinara sauce didn’t have any hint of basil. Needed more flavor.
Beef lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo – lasagna wasn’t in a typical square slice or even a rectangular slice, where you can see the layers. Seemed like a small portion.
Clam Sauce Over Linguine – classic Italian restaurant dish. I like the chopped clams in this dish. I guess it’s texture for me. It could have been a little bit more flavorful.
Great customer service from Danny. For an authentic Italian restaurant, I expected more fresh, high-quality ingredients, fresh, homemade, or locally made bread and flavors more intense.
