Great service. Will definitely go again because the halibut looked amazing and the person loved it. It's just on the expensive side.

Excellent food, but too noisy (you could not hear the other person talk) and the parking situation is terrible.

Some of the best pizza in CA. Crust is phenomenal and it came out quickly. Went with kids and they were very happy with the food as well.

The wine was delicious. the margarita pizza was undercooked. The brave meatballs were mushy and cold we asked for whoever were to have them remade which they did, but they still did not have a good flavor.

It started off beautifully when we were seated at a lovely corner table and brought still water immediately. Unfortunately the Sardinian white wine that we ordered was sold out and not taken off the menu and it took another 10 mins after already waiting 15 mins to get the replacement wine. We also had to wait over half an hour for our sparkling water that was ordered when we ordered the first bottle of wine. The three antipasti were brought to the table - fave purée with dandelion greens was so salty we couldn’t eat it. The burrata plate was no frills with stale croutonesque crostini. At that price point, it should be more elevated. The salad was good! Little gems with fennel and watermelon radish. We then ordered the shrimp pasta which came in one piece. It was so gloppy and gluey. Who’s in the kitchen making sure the food going out is tasting good? Overall, a very disappointing experience.
