From Naples to Santa Monica to Boise: the same passion for food. A few words from the owner: In 1969, I arrived in Los Angeles and I immediately noticed that the food served was much different tasting than the food that my family prepared in Italy. Upon questioning the restaurant owner regarding the non-traditional meals we were serving, I was told the food must be made according to American taste. My commitment to you: I pledge to bring an authentic Italian dining experience, demonstrating the same passion I’ve had since the beginning. Sincerely, Vincenzo

    Can't beat their pasta and sauces. My husband and I had the tagliatelle with the bolognese and the pappardelle with spice sausage, both excellent. My mother had the chicken piccata with pasta on the side, delicious! I love the grilled artichoke appetizer although a little pricy for what you get. Otherwise the meal portions are generous. The cocktails were unique and delicious as well. Highly recommen!
