From Naples to Santa Monica to Boise: the same passion for food. A few words from the owner: In 1969, I arrived in Los Angeles and I immediately noticed that the food served was much different tasting than the food that my family prepared in Italy. Upon questioning the restaurant owner regarding the non-traditional meals we were serving, I was told the food must be made according to American taste. My commitment to you: I pledge to bring an authentic Italian dining experience, demonstrating the same passion I’ve had since the beginning. Sincerely, Vincenzo

    Part way through dinner I leaned back in my chair and looked through what I thought was a window into a separate dining area, and made eye contact with a very happy looking guy leaning back in his chair. That was when I realized I was actually looking through a mirror and I was smiling without even knowing it! The entire dining experience was top tier, and our server Daniel was a consummate professional, whose recommendations made our evening even more spectacular. My partner and I can't wait to return!
