    Arrived here at 11:30 and they weren’t serving their full lunch menu yet; just breakfast and salad/pizzas from their lunch menu. The ricotta pancakes were very delicious. The ricotta had a bit of pineapple in it, but it’s served on the side so it works for those who might not like pineapples. We also ordered the Barbara pizza with Italian sausage, which was very tasty. The meat omelette was pretty big, plenty of meat inside, and topped with bolognese sauce. The layout of the shop is unique and they have a nice little grocery with some wine and Italian food items.

    Fabulous, authentic Italian food. We came specifically to this restaurant during our Coronado visit because the owners are fantastic, staff is friendly and food is top notch. It was our third time there and they haven’t dropped the ball since they opened 5 years ago. We’ll be back! The pastas and salads are wonderful. We will try the pizza next visit as everyone was raving about them!

    Food was good, but the service was less than stellar. Staff was simply overwhelmed.

    What a treasure. Authentic Italian in a converted garage. The restaurant has wonderful atmosphere. Staff is engaging and attentive. Food is delicious. We dined 2 nights in a row and both evenings were excellent experiences.

    Perfect outing with the kids for my family and a friend that we were celebrating for her birthday. They were able to accommodate her with her need for specific food requests and were very kind and helpful overall. We were seated next to the door (garage door) and the sun was beaming on the table which did make it quite hot by the time we were done eating. Overall we truly enjoyed our experience, but next time we will know to ask to not be seated in the sun area as we did this last time.
