    It took two hours to have a simple meal (no dessert) our server was great but the kitchen was so so very slow. I had a reservation for 5:00 p.m. and we actually got there a little bit early and even though there was tables open, they didn't see this for another 20 minutes. The wait for the food was really poor though. I wouldn't go back because of that. Food was good, and our server was great, but you really need the kitchen to do its part also.

    Big portions, nice ambience & very friendly waitress. Food tastes great, but on the pricier side.

    Don’t skip the Zucca chips - yummy! The salads are fantastic and the pizzas are delish. Excellent service and fun environment. Our favorite fashion valley spot!

    The food and cocktails were phenomenal! Took my family here while they were visiting and they LOVED everything! The rigatoni pasta is a must!

    A little disappointed with this experience. The Carmel Valley location has always been great but service here was really lacking. We ordered three cocktails that didn’t arrive until about ten minutes after we got our main course. Served was apologetic and they bought us dessert but frankly, we weren’t likely going to even order dessert so maybe next time just cover the drinks? The food came out at an irritating pace too with half of our table getting lunch at one time and then the final item arriving about ten minutes later. When our free dessert was served we had no silverware on the table and had to wander around looking for spoons. A final piece of guidance to this place, and I’m not sure how to eloquently word this, but maybe undergarments should be a wardrobe requirement for wait staff? Our braless waitress walked around with her bits on full display and they were EXTREMELY visible. For $160 lunch I’d expect more and we certainly won’t be back to this location.

    Initially had a reservation for 10 but needed to add 2 more people, so I called and they were more than happy to accommodate. Our server, Myriam, was absolutely amazing! She was very attentive and was so helpful when it came to assisting with our mother’s dietary needs. We had the calamari. According to my husband, they were the best he’s ever had. The truffle garlic bread was SO good. He had the braised short rib, his plate was clean so it’s safe to say he liked it. I had the scallops, which were very well seasoned. Had the Italian donuts for dessert…yum! Overall everyone enjoyed their meals. Will definitely be back!
