    Tasty food and great service. The patio and even the inside dinning area are not inviting at all.

    I went with my picky eater 13 year old son. Even he was impressed and tried a variety of new things! Phenomenal experience! Valet parking available, kind staff with great knowledge and feedback about the menu, and the food was amazing! From the appetizers (we tried the mozzarella fritta and arancini) to the salad (octopus salad aka polipo, patate e arugula) to the entrees (sole special for me and lasagna for my son) to the desserts (cannoli and tronco) to the homemade limoncello… Delicious! Such a treat all around! We will be back!

    What a fantastic dining experience! The food was delicious, and the service really made us feel at home, especially since the family is from our hometown of San Pedro. We will definitely come back.
