We were very well cared for by Miquel at bar. Drinks tasty. Appetizers delicious. Only issue is how cold it was. We moved away from open doors but think AC may have been on. Plan to go back again for happy hour 🍸

The food was very good, as usual. We both had the soup and flatbread combo, and the new cauliflower and cheese soup was outstanding. I would have preferred a different cheese in the mushroom flatbread as the feta overpowered the subtle mushrooms, but overall, very tasty. We will definitely return.

This is real, authentic Italian pasta, the best you’ll find in the south coast area. It seriously tastes just like pasta you’d find at a nice place in Italy. The ragu is my favorite. In my opinion the prices for pasta are a little high for such a casual place, but I keep coming back, so clearly it’s worth it. The service is always very good as well. The patio is nice with a fire pit and good heaters. It’s in the camp which provides nice ambiance, but parking is a nightmare. It took us 15 minutes to valet.
