    Very good portions of food and quite pleasing to one’s palette the service was excellent especially since it was a birthday celebration. Been coming here for 30+ years. Intimate and perfect ambiance. Blessed to have this in Laguna.

    We have been coming here for years so were eager to take our first-timer friends. The pasta fagioli was excellent. The service was slow so when one of our entrees was wrong (veal for chicken) we waited another half hour for the chicken parmesan to be served. They comped the dish but it didn't matter, the meal was disappointing.

    What a treat! We went with two friends for dinner. I mentioned to the waiter we are newly engaged - totally unexpectedly - they brought a dessert with a candle and sang for us. Love when a heart is in a business. Beautiful. Great food too.

    Lovely cozy and warm spot for a cold and rainy evening we had. The bar looks fun and inviting. Had a very nice dinner with good cocktails and wine. Great service and a fun evening We so enjoyed that we could talk and actually hear each other other than many restaurants we cannot go to any more because of the loud music

    Pre-concert dinner with friends, we had mentioned our time window (we weren’t rushed, but also weren’t planning a lengthy dining experience) Everyone was fantastic, Julie welcomed us, our server got our drink and entree orders in quickly. Food was excellent … as always. (The concert was great too!)

    It was so fun to see Rumari since the renovation and change of ownership: the food and the service were just delightful. It was our anniversary and the waiters sang to us with beautiful voices— they could’ve been professional singers! It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely go back
