    Once again a delicious expierence. The Ragu pasta, octopus salad, and the halibut, cooked to perfection, which is no small feat, was devine. Service is alaways profressional and warm. A solid choice if you are looking for a great night out.

    In my opinion this is the best restaurant in San Pedro. The scallop appetizer is simply fantastic. Real gourmet. The carpaccio is too plain. It needs something on it like onions or capers or garlic or something in my opinion. Had the veal and both my wife and I thought it was delicious. Will be back as often as possible.

    In a word, Disappointing. Let me first just say that the staff there is excellent. From the person who first took us to our table, to all of the servers and busboys. Very caring and attentive. This was our second time at the restaurant, and we were so impressed with the food and the restaurant itself, that we brought some friends with us. I'm so sorry to say that the food just didn't measure up to our first experience. This was true even with dishes that we ordered our first time there, that we highly recommended to our guests. From the salad that was horribly underdressed, to the short rib pasta which was mushy. My pasta with seafood was absolutely tasteless. There was no sauce clinging to the pasta which was lying in a puddle at the bottom of the bowl. We couldn't have been more disappointed, as this is a restaurant that we had high hopes for. I truly hope that we just caught the chef on a bad night, but the only taste we got from our experience here was a bad one.

    This was our first time dining with you. We loved our mozzarella, garbanzo salad, our mussels, gnocchi with lobster, however, the very popular lemon pasta with scallops not a favorite. Love the scallops they were delicious and sweet, the lemon pasta, not a fan. May try again and order something different. Thank you for moving us to a better table, which was noted when we first arrived. We appreciate that.

    We didn’t get to eat there! There was a film crew nearby. The film company took up ALL available parking. Parking that was still available was too far away to walk. No one at the restaurant seemed to care or give advice. We were so disappointed.

    I had little expectations for the restaurant as I went there to hear some music. I was very pleased by the food (pizza was excellent, Pasta was made on the premises). I was seated near the front to listen to the music and fortunately the restaurant was not crowded as a few patrons in the back caused the noise level to become moderate. It was not that they especially noisy it more that the restaurant amplifies crowd noise. It was almost an hour drive for me and I wished they were closer.

    Excellent lunch and good service. Varied menu , something for everyone here. The problem is, they use Fabuloso for their cleaning product and it smells up the whole restaurant. I couldn’t stay for dessert or coffee, because the smell was making me sick. A big shame because I love their food but I can’t return there until they change their cleaning product at some future date.

    The short rib pasta was excellent and the linguini and clams was very good, but just a tad salty. They give you a dozen little neck clams and a fair amount of pasta. We were overall very happy and will certainly be back.

    We started with beef carpaccio which was excellent. Our entrees included fettuccine with scallops and chicken marsala. Both were outstanding. The entrees came out about 5 minutes after our appetizers and our waiter quickly sent them back to the kitchen and assured us of new entrees when we were ready. I would definitely go back again.

    Ask to be seated away from the live jazz trio. (We were the second table and could barely talk.) The trio was excellent by the way. The charcuterie (meat and cheese plate was very large--a meal for two by itself. Calamari appetizer was very good as was the Pizza Diavolo.

    Absolutely a most memorable experience at this unexpected jewel of a restaurant in San Pedro. I was there celebrating my sons 14th birthday with family, and the smiles on his face throughout the nite were simply priceless (and it was not all attributed to all the great conversations we were having but because of how special we were treated). Everyone in my party was over the moon happy we ended up at this place. The service was as attentive as a mom caring for a new born as our water glasses was always filled, our food came in synchronistic order (meaning corresponding to the right time when we finished appetizers followed by main meals then dessert) and the recommended dishes and drinks by our server did not disappoint—everyone and everything was pure “fire”! So much so I couldn’t even snap enough photos because we ate the food as fast as it came out…pure enjoyment all the way around. I cannot wait to go back. (Pls forgive my camera skills as they cannot do justice)

    Wonderful meal. Pappardelle Short Rib Ragu was incredible. The past was homemade, like a long thick wide noodle with a rich meaty sauce. The meat was tender and tasty. We ordered a wood fire pizza as an appetizer. The crust is thin and crispy, yet still chewy. You can bring your own bottle of wine, and no corkage fee for 1st bottle. It was great night out. Highly recommend.
