   Every time we come here we have an excellent meal! The service is unbelievable, quick delivery of food and the most incredible accommodating staff and service. Top notch five star in my book. Love the food love the people, but it is a little bit noisy if you're looking for an intimate meal. They do have outdoor seating, which would be much quieter. This is my favorite go to Italian place to eat.

   We often times tried to get into this restaurant in Encinitas but never made it. So, here we are in San Clemente. What a great add to the dining scene in Orange County. Everything was terrific. Chicken Parm (had to try the family recipe) was great. My wife created a pasta dish with shrimp and Pesto...also wonderful. The Calamari was lightly breaded and flavorful. All that with a nice Italian wine. We will go back and try the pizzas which looked great. And there are so many other entrees.

   Service and food were both amazing! We have two small children and they were given kid’s cups and crayons and paper which they loved. The servers were engaging and attentive. The food came out quickly and was so wonderful! My husband loved the lasagna. The kiddos raved about the gelato for dessert. We will definitely be back.
