This restaurant is tucked in a corner of a shopping center with decorative lighting (at night) making it stand out. Upon entering the place, the ambience was similar to any other restaurant, however as I sat down I became more comfortable in their booth while soothing music by Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Durante, and Ella Fitzgerald played overhead.
Our waitress did a good job providing hospitality as she was busy with other patrons. I ordered the calzone to start first but also gave the rest of my order at the same time so everything came at once but that’s not a big deal. Just make sure to let your waiter know in these moments.
The food was really delicious besides the fries; they tasted a little stale perhaps that specific type or they were just sitting in the window before I got them. I could tell everything was made fresh there: the calzone, bolognese, sausage, and apple strudel. Also the calzone looks massive but that’s just a lot of air. Still amazing, nevertheless.
Despite the overall great review, I don’t think I would eat here again honestly. It was a good first impression but not in my Top 3.
Bonus: single-occupant restrooms were clean and smelled clean.
Also provided menu photos because the prices increased from previous uploads.

Fantastic food. Cozy atmosphere and nicely decorated. Friendly service. We had a house salad with a nice Italian dressing, tasty Italian bread with garlic butter, and the Sea Bass special with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables and three types of ravioli with a special red sauce. We each had a glass of red blend with our meal and passed on the desserts. Found restaurant on Yelp as we were driving home from our holiday in Northern California. Highly recommend this romantic spot.

We came in and it’s a nice place inside. Service was good, though we heard the cheif complaining to the waitress about us sending back the garlic fries that looked like they were sitting in oil for a while. I had the Pollo alla Gongonzola 18.95 which was very good. My spouse had the Pollo Alla Vodka 18.95, which she liked. Son had the Pennete Alla Pesto 17.75 which the only thing he didn’t like was the pasta. Had the Gold Rush drink, very good. My wife wanted to give 3 stars, I wanted to give 4. I would go back for my dish again. Had brechetta which was good but only got 3 pieces of bread plus 2 other drinks and dessert ( creme brulle). Dessert was watery and do not recommend that.

After a good friend’s recommendation we finally found an opportunity to visit. We were very pleased upon entry as we love the decor, atmosphere and the vintage music, Dean Martin etc. The food was amazing and very tasty. Rustic pizza, seafood linguine, house salad and calamari were authentic and so tasty.
Not inexpensive but worth it for special occasions, but I have to say after being told it was our 35th wedding anniversary we were not even offered a peek at a dessert tray much less any special attention in a mostly empty restaurant.

My partner and I came here with the craving of Italian food, finding this hidden gem was the best decision we made. We ordered the bruschetta, chicken Parmesan, and the Chicken Cordon Bleu. All of it was sooooo amazing, best Italian place we’ve had by far. Worth the 40 min drive from Orange County. Thank you Gabriel for your service and shout out to your cooks, definitely a 5 star rating!!

This is a wheelchair friendly place to eat delicious Italian food There is also a bar and plenty of seating. My friend had spaghetti bolognese with sausage and I had the chicken parm. Both meals were excellent with no complaints. For our starter we had the calamari which was also very good and came with two different sauces to choose from. The service was excellent and it even had some playful music to go along with the atmosphere. Can’t wait to come here again!

Hidden gem! I had originally found Aldolino restaurant for my wife’s girl’s night and she raved about it. Now it was my turn and she was right! The restaurant is in the corner of a small shopping center but very nicely decorated. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. We will bring our kids next time.
