Our Guestbook
“ The food was amazing!! They allowed us to sit and visit without a rush! They did not make our ravioli until we were totally done with our appetizer. When picking an entree the server (the owner I think) was helpful and funny and took away my menu when I second guessed. It was clearly a locals place and he knew the regulars that came in. It was a lovely dining experience. ”
“ Service was excellent. Oliver was our waiter and took care of us. He was very friendly and offered great suggestions. Small intimate setting but don't let that fool you. The food was authentic and amazing. From the appetizers to the dessert. ”
“ Wonderful authentic Italian spot in an unexpected location. Definitely recommend! The shrimp scampi was chef's kiss. Will be returning very soon! ”
“ Great food and service for a special event for 50 people. ”
“ We tried this place while in the area looking for a small family run restaurant. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server got our drink order very quickly. We order the Fried Calamari which was cooked to perfection, melted in your mouth. For our main meal I ordered the Special Burgundy Beef and my partner ordered the Lamb Chops. The Burgundy Beef was so delicious and cooked to perfection. The Lamb Chops were cooked perfect and tasted delicious. For dessert we tried the Cannoli were fantastic. We met the owner George who was very nice and fun to talk with. This will be a new favorite spot for us. Cannot wait to return. ”
“ The owner George greeted and welcomed us warmly as we opened the restaurant door. He treated us like VIP, even though we were complete strangers dining here for the first time. Our gracious server, Anna Marie, started us with raw oysters and calamari. Both were impeccable! I had the most deliciously rich tasting lobster ravioli for the main dish. I was really impressed with the hospitality and the food! ”
“ This adorable place is not what you expect. Next to Safeway and a Starbucks this gem of a place has superb food. ”
“ What an amazing experience at this restaurant. Super unsuspecting, but don’t let that fool you. The food was fantastic, and the drinks came out super quickly. I had the shrimp scampi and it was delicious, sauce, shrimp, and pasta were great. So was the chicken piccata. Had tiramisu for dessert, also amazing! Definitely give this place a try! ”
