Great quant Italian restaurant with superb servers. We got the pizza and pasta with meatballs and it was top notch! Didn’t expect such good Italian food outside of the big city.

I thoroughly enjoyed this little Italian restaurant!! Our server was great and went above our expectations! This was our first time there and they helped us with the menu choices. I had the Pasta Bolognese, Eggplant Parm and Tiramisu for desert. I couldn’t decide so i got both and both were delicious! Will be coming back!! Thank you for a great experience!!

Good restaurant. The food is very good, the service excellent and our server was very attentive. One thing I noticed when it came time to pay the check was a charge on the bill that said ‘cc adjustment’. When i asked what that was, I was informed that the restaurant was adding a charge to the bill to cover the 4% fee paid to the credit card company for handling the transaction. Hmmm, never seen that before. So, if you pay cash, ask that this charge be removed. Also, when you figure the tip, exclude that charge and the sales tax, which together comes to over 12%. I have no problem tipping. I just don’t wanna tip those who do not earn it.

If you ever visited this restaurant when it was in Pasadena, it is STILL the same and excellent. We had a fantastic time and a lovely meal. One of the owners came to speak to us when we said we sought them out and it was wonderful to reminisce with them. Everything on this menu is great! Do not miss this place.
