We were part of a group of 40 and were seated in a separate room from the other restaurant diners. The room was beautiful but they should have limited it to fewer people. We were packed in like sardines and it was HOT! That actually is an understatement. It was like a sauna. Putting that part aside, which is why I didn’t give this place 5 stars, our meals were all great. We had many servers and they were all very efficient. I had the veal Parmesan which was 4 very tender medallions of veal with a good sauce and cheese. I will say the salad was a bit disappointing. It was greens with a half slice of cucumber, 2 black olives and 2 slices of pepperoni. The side of linguini was very good also. Their homemade Italian dressing was good. They served hot bread first which was great, and gobbled up quickly by our table, but never replenished. All in all, good food, but we couldn’t wait to get out of there since it was so hot.

I was surprised to see anything lower than a three-star rating. I and my boyfriend eat here regularly mainly because the lemon chicken is addictive. Went with my sister who knows food better than anyone I know and she raved about the simple sauce on the pasta side which had been so disappointing at other supposedly Italian restaurants This has become my favorite restaurant. Love the atmosphere, the spumoni and the cheesecake Love it

Overall a good experience for an americanized Italian restaurant. Service was excellent, I mean excellent! The menu was great! the location perfect! Food was really good. We had a party of 6. I had the Linguini with white Clam Sauce, This is my goto dish to really evaluate a chef’s or cook’s skills in the kitchen. It’s really easy to mess this dish up, its take a keen eye to get it right. They nailed it. I’m craving it but I’m back in Chicago so I’ll have to make my own here at the house!

This was my wife and I first visit. So overall it was okay. So the bread with herb butter was okay to good. The dinner salad was good to very good. Their house dressing was tasty and the right size for a starter. I had the veal Sinatra in which the sauce sauce was tasty and unique but the consistency of the veal was a little less tender than I am used to. My wife had the chicken parm, which she and I have to say was not good. The chicken parm was loaded with chunks of garlic under the cheese so every bite was a hit in the face with garlic. The chicken itself with the breading was a little mushy. The side of pasta with marinara sauce was the complete opposite of the chicken sauce a it lacked any flavor. The tiramisu was okay to good but not the best I had. I therefore give it a solid 3. We will likely not return as there are better options near us but it was worth a shot as I like to try new places.

Grab a cozy booth in the bar and try the lemony chicken d’agnese. Most entrees come with a salad. The bread is warm, crusty and comes with an herb butter — so good! Great place for happy hour and appetizers too.

Happy hour 5 – 7PM everyday. Good martini selection. Tried the Summer Wind and the Flirtini. Both very good. The early bird has great options for $ 11. We had the veal Marsala and veal parmigiana. The Marsala was AMAZING! The sauce is so good. Sometimes you go places and it’s too sweet or too bitter, this was just right. The large onions in the sauce threw me off, but they were very good as were the chunks of tomato in the sauce. The portion was just enough to make a satisfying meal. Fresh bread with sesame seeds and a garlic butter spread. Another yummy treat. We split the tiramisu for dessert. It rivaled the one I make, though I like mine with a little more wet/espresso on my ladyfingers and use chocolate shavings instead of cocoa powder. I would definitely come here again and try some of the other options.

Outstanding! I’ve lived in CA for 17 years and love seafood so we decided to check this place out since it is pretty close. We ate late, but were surprised at how few people were in the place when we got there. I was glad it wasn’t too busy though because it was our anniversary so we were looking for something less busy. We both got Oysters, which was an appetizer special. Have to admit they were delicious. Wasn’t expecting that being so far away from the ocean. I also ordered the Halibut special. I haven’t had halibut that good ever! It was amazing! The dinner came with a salad and bread with this delicious garlic butter. Even the Italian salad dressing was great. They have a wonderful wine list and martinis. I got a nice Coppola Sauvignon Blanc. I also noticed they had Cakebread SB by the bottle. Next time I might have to go with that. I honestly can’t believe there were so few people there, it was fantastic. I will definitely be back.

Very good Italian food. Bread is fresh baked and salads were crisp. The house italian dressing is very good as is their veal dishes. Service is always good and the restaurant was clean. We eat here often and have never been disappointed.

Food is so-so. Service is 7 out of 10(don’t rush me), Wedding soup is great, but far less salt would be great. Not very authentic at all. Filthy table cloths, it was disgusting, wash them. The best part was definitely the bread and the amazing butter.

I try to stop in here every time I am in the area. Fantastic Carbonara sauce. The menu says over linguine, but they will put it over any pasta you ask for. I like it best on the fettuccine. Great veal dishes. The veal Sinatra is unique and my favorite.

I eat at this restaurant pretty regularly because its so delicious! Food and service are always great. I always get the chicken d’agnese and it is always so good. The atmosphere is so friendly and staff very welcoming. Great homemade tiramisu as well! I just love everything about this restaurant.

Was in the area, looking for a place for a late lunch and stopped in. Hard to see location in a strip mall. Nice, clean interior. Menu fairly large for lunch. Salads were nice, generous portions. Caprese salad especially good. Pasta and sauce was OK, portions generous. Service was friendly and attentive. They need to lose the music, which would be something my parents would like, and I am in my 50’s. Overall OK, but not great experience.

Highlights: Plenty of seating and didn’t have to wait, good happy hour martini prices($ 5), cannolis were very good, fresh warm bread w/garlic butter. Cons: Boring pasta sauce!!! This is the primary staple in an Italian restaurant! There wasn’t any hint of garlic or any seasoning. The veal was also boring with no flavor. We had ordered the veal parmasean and veal marsala. The marsala sauce was a bit too sweet, as compared to what you’re usually used to. The only reason we went there was because of a coupon. I wouldn’t go back because there are plenty of other places to try when I get in the mood for Italian food.

Serving yesterday’s bread for lunch. Made a classic mistake, we were not ready for our server who only gave us 1 minute to look at the menu, then we had to wait too long for the server to return. Average food, pleasant but less than perfect service.

I’ve been here a number of times and there are always lots of people eating here so keep that in mind because maybe it’s just me that’s not impressed. The staff is fine, the décor is a slightly strange mix of industrial and Tuscan but that’s fine. The real problem for me is the food. I’ve never been to an Italian restaurant that is so obsessed with fried food. Even though the menu doesn’t specify, almost every entrée I’ve had has been battered and fried; the only difference is they throw a sauce and a few vegetables on it. Also(or maybe because of this), it’s really salty. Salads are just so-so. Not a lot of fresh ingredients here.
