★★★★★ 5.0 Steve's Stray Stuff · Oct 2025

The wife and I stopped in for lunch. We started with Old Fashioneds which were delicious. We have been in California for one month and we have had many Old Fashioneds, but these were by far the best that we have had while here. We started with fried artichokes, which were delicious. The appetizer portion was meal sized. My wife ordered the Gnocchi Ossobuco, I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs and we ordered a bottle of wine. The food was delicious and our server was over the top and he even made our Old Fashioneds. He was very friendly and attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back! Thank you for the afternoon of hospitality!

Had my birthday dinner and absolutely loved the food and service. I did not get the name of my server but he was so considerate and the food was amazing. I had the vegetarian pasta and it’s one of the best pastas I have had till date. They even sang a happy birthday for me with all the servers which was absolutely adorable. Thank you for the memorable birthday can’t wait to dine again.

This meal was one of the finest I've had, we were a party of 12 and had excellent service. The squid ink pasta was one of the best pasta I've ever eaten and I spent 5 months in Italy. My wife's chicken marsala was to die for. Typically we never order chicken in a nice restaurant cuz we can make that at home. Everyone in our party was singing praises about the food and atmosphere, and since I picked the location I got a lot of attaboys

For me Italian food is difficult to rate as everyone has their own "bar" as to what they prefer and each chef their own recipes. All the dishes were tasty in their own way. The servings were more than ample. Great prices. The wine list (by the bottle) is quite nice. Clam chowder - I would rate this a excellent! We've tasted clam chowder many places & this one is not too thick or soupy with plenty of delicious flavor!! YUM!! Food - Spaghetti & meat balls. The pasta was fresh & perfectly prepared, the meatballs were tasty & good size, the sauce was hearty - tasted a bit like tomato paste, good though. Our guest approved! Lasagna - a huge portion loaded with cheese of different types. Same sauce as the spaghetti. Our guest approved. Chicken & with noodles -fresh, tasty pasta loaded wi

Great vegetarian options and they are flexible with the menu (asked for marinara gnocchi and received!) Went here after a whale watch and it was the perfect warm, carb-heavy dinner I needed. Highly recommend the dessert too!
