Our Division hosted our yearly appreciation luncheon on Tuesday, 12/10. This was my first time at this restaurant. When I walked in beautiful and very clean. I think we came right when it opened and our group was seated in the large private room. It was b beautifully decorated and ready for the holidays where we didn't have to our any of our decorations up. They had a picture ready op area with a tree and background where we had Santa sit while we took group pics with him. Now for the food.... I had my share of chicken Parmesan at other places but the one I had at this restaurant... chicken was very juicy, chicken was cut into sizable pieces, and crust and chicken ratio was perfect (for me!) Salad was a great accompaniment to my chicken. I didn't have the pasta but my co-workers raves about it as well. I definitely have this place on my list to bring my family to.

This is a warm, charming, Italian family, run restaurant and event venue big or small they can handle your party. The food speaks for itself and is simply delicious and it is consistently yummy. Never have. I gone there and thought something tasted off. I've had this happen at a few other places not here. There's an entire Italian family running the show and there's always somebody nearby if you need something there Eager and ready love the food and customer service and the red peppers you get with the bread are so delicious. I've actually ordered more. It's an additional cost. That's totally worth it on the weekends. There's a trolley that's free to take around San Pedro and you can even get off and get back on Great for people on cruise ships wanting to experience a nice Italian style meal without busting your budget. the lunch menu is downright affordable for what you get. It cannot be beat. If I had to pick five restaurants that I could only eat at for the rest of my life. This would be one of them, love the food and the family that makes it all happen. They have created a customer with us for life.

Second times a charm. I dined here a month ago with some colleagues from the Maritime industry. Food and service was amazing. Tonight, my friend and I had a quick dinner at the bar. Once again the food was great. Service met expectations. Nice dining room. Despite being packed, plenty of room to move around.

Came here for a business luncheon. There were 10 tables and it was buffet style with salad, penne with alfredo sauce and rigatoni with marinara, meatballs, steamed vegetables, mushroom chicken breast and dinner rolls. I have to admit that the food was very good. Service was excellent as the waiter was constantly filling water and iced tea and clearing plates. It's a big restaurant and good for large groups. It's well decorated and airy inside. Definitely will be back on my own dime to try their dinner menu.

Visited this location 10/19, highly recommended by a co-worker. It did not disappoint!!! This place is amazing! All ingredients are fresh! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seating. Customer service was amazing the staff was attentive. It's a quiet place where you can carry a conversation. If you are in town it's a must try! They serve complimentary sour dough bread with grilled bell peppers on the side .

Not gonna lie, I've never had real Italian food like this but I could just tell this place was screaming authenticity, especially seeing the vibes and the menu. The portions are huge and definitely shareable - I highly recommend family styling so you can try their different dishes! The prices were awesome too, we literally paid $200 for a meal that fed a family of 9 and we still had leftovers!! They also hit you up with delicious bread, small tomato plates, and salads prior to your actual meal and it fills you up! I ordered off the chef's specialities and oh my, the osso busco and veal stuffed cannelloni were so good and flavor packed! Can't wait to be back to try more of their menu!!

Service was 10/10. You definitely get treated very well here. We wanted Italian and we thought we would check this place out since the reviews are incredible. The pasta was amazing!!! I love pasta and it did not disappoint. The servings are very generous and you'll definitely go home with leftovers. It was busy when we went, but the service was still amazing! The staff are very friendly and attentive. Our experience was awesome and I would come back.

I came here recently to celebrate my wedding anniversary and was amazed with the decor and ambiance. It's very lively and a total change for the better since they remodeled. I ordered the penne rustica with pink sauce it had a combination of shrimp and sausage. I'm happy I picked this plate it had a generous portion with amazing flavors. Our meal came with a complimentary salad and bruschetta and roasted peppers on a crostini. We made sure to have a glass of their house cab which was quite reasonable. The waiter we had was very hospitable and friendly he gave us recommendations and let us customize our items which was nice. If you're looking for a quant atmosphere with authentic Italian and friendly staff give this place a try I highly recommend.
