This restaurant was so cute with the perfect authentic Italian vibe. It was a cozy little restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The homemade tomato sauces were the best I have ever had. The calamari and zucchini had a light fry layer that won't leave you feeling heavy like others. The shrimp and other seafood on our plates was cooked to perfection and the noodles were divine! Was recommended by a friend and could not agree more with their recommendation. Highly, highly recommend.
One of the best lunches we have had in La Jolla. Food is excellent and service is impeccable. The gnocchi was creamy and perfectly cooked. The mushroom risotto was buttery. The salmon with asparagus, farfalle and vodka sauce was light delicious. Highly recommend.
This is such a cute and delicious place to eat!! We had originally planned to go to another restaurant but couldn't pass up how good the food looked and smelled. Our food came out quickly and tasted amazing. The Fettuccine Ortolane is light and creamy and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The Gnocchi Gratinati is decadent and so rich. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic and yummy pasta!
Great Italian and fantastic value. The Italian bread and marinara was fantastic, followed by great pasta, seafood, and margherita pizza. I was excited to find a Montepulciano wine to drink as well! The weather was perfect for the quaint outdoor seating. What a great discovery for us!
With the perfect combination of a relaxed, cozy vibe with a charming, clever, funny waiter, and cool sea breezes, this place would warrant a second visit even if we weren't hungry for the fantastic food on offer. We had the veal parm, the lobster ravioli special, and a lamb pasta dish that I believe was also a special. All were great. The lamb sauce was cooked to melt-in-your-mouth stew consistency, and was a very generous portion (we were happy to have a strapping young lad along to help polish that one off!) The lobster ravs were devine. A lovely evening, all around.
