Sat outside and had a wonderful meal! Great service and fantastic food. Had the branzino on top of the most finely whipped mashed potatoes with asparagus. Unbelievably good! Others had the scallops, the veal, and pumpkin ravioli. A+ ! Drinks were great too!

Always an enjoyable experience. I have been going here consistently since I was a kid and the place is still phenomenal. On the lunch menu, the house-made sausages are great. At dinner be sure to try the capellini pomodoro, a simple but well-executed classic.

Some of the best Italian food we have ever had. Excellent service. Great selection of CA wines and Italian Wines. Star of the show for us was the Chef's special, Short Ribs with Risotto. There were several other special dishes that looked good.
