    Fabulous restaurant and we couldn’t believe we hadn’t been there before. Perfect location for our event and they had us fed and out the door on time. Pasta is exceptional.

    The food and service was very good. We sat outside and unfortunately the music from the restaurant next door made it difficult to hear my dinner companions. Not their fault but something to consider. Next time, I'd sit inside.

    We had the most enjoyable meal at Asti’ s on a beautiful Sunday we dined Al fresco and our party celebrated a birthday before going to the ballet at Balboa theatre. We dined on gnocchi which was heavenly, salmon with the most scrumptious sauce and carrots and mashed potatoes, and veal Marsala. The wine list was excellent and the service was attentive and congenial we felt like VIPs! A special shout out to our waiter Saini he reflected all the best attributes of hospitality and customer service ! plus he got as out in time to see the ballet!

    Service was good, but food was terrible. I was given a raw steak and lobster. The mashed potatoes were very runny and soggy, almost like quick sand. The food was not it, unfortunately
