    This establishment has every thing you want in an Italian restaurant - a warm and inviting hostess, friendly servers/bartenders and INCREDIBLY satiating dishes. I inhaled my food. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. A must stop if you are in Laguna.

    Always excellent food served piping hot! Fantastic value at Happy Hour. Mix in some of the amazing regular menu for a great value full meal. Highly recommend the Eggplant Parm, which is NOT deep fried!

    A lovely evening from start to finish. Warm greeting by the Hostess - great service and attention to detail by the Waiter. Good wine selection. Food arrived timely and was hot and delicious - Had the Pasta Faglioli soup and the Carpaccio Bue. The short rib Ravioli was excellent as well as the Veal and Chicken Parmesan. We will be back!
