    A great classic restaurant in Downtown Disney. This was my family's first time dining here and being able to reserve well ahead of time was such a great thing especially for big days like Christmas. Our server, Jorge, was fantastic and attentive to our needs during our dining and made the experience great. I think the only fault I can find was the odd experience being seated outside vs seating inside when we could visibility see available tables on the 2nd floor, but for special days like Christmas I'd imagine their systems and table coverage was stretched. Kudos to the staff, and I'm sure my family will be back again.

    Beautiful new location, seating options inside or on a covered outdoor patio. Food portions are huge, presented with flare, tasty meal. Service was a bit slow (restaurant had a lot of open tables), not sure if it's an " Italian" thing or what but, overall it was good.

    Food is excellent as always. Truly pizza may truly have the best pizza in OC if not SoCal. Service is great. All the servers are so nice and accommodating. The price point is also fairly decent. Cocktails are good, and the ambience is very cozy.

    This is real, authentic Italian pasta, the best you’ll find in the south coast area. It seriously tastes just like pasta you’d find at a nice place in Italy. The ragu is my favorite. In my opinion the prices for pasta are a little high for such a casual place, but I keep coming back, so clearly it’s worth it. The service is always very good as well. The patio is nice with a fire pit and good heaters. It’s in the camp which provides nice ambiance, but parking is a nightmare. It took us 15 minutes to valet.
