    I had brunch/lunch with my bridal party on Saturday afternoon and we were serviced extremely well. We had the: Seasonal Vegetable Salad, Hot Honey & Smoked Prosciutto Pizza, Bolognese (House Specialty) and Trottole Chicken Pesto. All plates I HIGHLY recommend. I have been here for dinner in the past and I had the same experience, great service, delicious food and drinks. Make sure to make reservations in advanced for dinner. Will be coming back very soon!

    My wife and I came here for a mid-week date night. Walking up I was a bit concerned as the place is very unassuming from the outside. However, the seating was very comfortable and the food and service were top notch. Food: After an appetizer of fried mozzarella which was above average, my wife and I both shared the veal chop and the Rigatoni Carmella. The veal was tender and cooked to perfection and the accompanying Marsala Funghi sauce was rich and creamy. The Rigatoni burst with flavor from both the sausage and the tomato vodka sauce. Service: Our server was prompt, polite and attentive. Since the entire meal went without a hitch there wasn't much for him to do other than occasionally check that all was well and refill our wine glasses. We will definitely be back.

    The food was some of the best ever! Delicious calamaretti, gnocchi, lasagna, ravioli zucca, linguine mare chiaro, fradiovola pizza, tiramisu, etc. Also, Geraldo was a wonderful server. Thanks so much for a memorable evening with my family members who had just flown into LAX from Morocco where they live! We were hoping to see Managing Partner Marcello, who is always a delight to chat with, but just missed him!
