    We celebrated our wedding anniversary at their Costa Mesa location this weekend. Reservation was easy via OpenTable. The restaurant staffs were super friendly and attentive. They offered us unlimited FREE Róse. The food were amazingly delicious. Our service staffs, Jordan and Milton, were very attentive, and even chatted with us for a few minutes. Took pictures for us. The decorations were cute, warm and inviting. We had a great time, definitely would return and recommend this restaurant to our friends and family. A 5 Stars experience.

    Wonderful experience! Will be going back. Busy restaurant and a bit loud but the service was fantastic and the food was insane. We started with the oyster sampler and then I got the Wild Alaskan Black Cod with broth and noodles and it was so delicious. Brought our own wine because no corkage!

Great variety of appetizers and entrees, with steak and seafood cooked and presented with equal mastery. This is number one special occasion venue, and it always shines!

    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.
