    The food and service were excellent. Very small ding room with tables very close together. The $4.00 charge for bread seems out of place, considering the cost of food.

    Everything was delicious! We had the beet salad, rigatoni to share, I got the fish special which was amazing and my husband had the lamb which he said was one of the best preparations he had ever had of lamb. We finished with the phyllo crisp, fruity and light. The wine list is excellent as well. Would definitely recommend!

    Toma was the best place we’ve eaten over our month traveling in California. We had the wedge salad. Absolute delicious and perfectly dressed. For our main, we shared the Rigatoni ala Emilio. Plenty of food for my husband and I and again so delicious!!
