I'm a sucker for fried calamari and theirs is spot on, very tender and great sauce. Spaghetti alla Pescatore was delicious, one scallop, clams, mussels and shrimp. Portions are decent size. Service was attentive. Wine list was quite sufficient. Ambiance was cozy. I will continue coming...

The tea house on los Rios is the best tea experience one can have not just in Orange County, or California, but the entire country. I visit tea houses all over and they are superior in every way.

Jorge was our waiter explain all the specials, Terry who knows his wines, we told him we wanted a mild Italian wine. He told us about a Brunello wine from Abbruzzi that we would like. It was a great advice, tonight was our Grandmother who was born in Abbruzzi birthday so it was like a message from her. The food out stand, I had the special halibut was so delicious & we had veal scallopini with capers, the farfalle pasta with Bolognese sauce all out standing. Than they surprised us with a tiramisu birthday & sang to us in honor of our grandmother who had passed yrs ago. The reason I'm telling this is because the place really cares about their customers. Don't miss out on this restaurant real Italian food here.
