The food is always delicious. Love the ambiance. Thursday Night Football crowd was energetic and loud but I like that even if I’m in the dining room. The restaurant was full. Our server was training a new server. The trainee was sweet and helpful. The server was busy and didn’t always attend to us in a non stressful manner. Was quick and on to another guest. I get it though. I used to be a server and the anxiety mounts in busy situations. Overall a great restaurant. Will always go back when in San Pedro.

The pork ravioli was delicious! Calamari appetizer a must. You can split a Trani salad. The staff always friendly and knowledgeable. It makes sense why this place is so popular. Make sure you’re okay with high noise level - very loud ambient background reverberating thru your conversation. We move to bar area to hear each other better. All and all a good evening!
