    Yar, I went there on, like, New Year's Eve, so I guess that's not really typical of the restaurant, right? It was kinda busy and kinda loud. The lights were a little bit high, and the ceiling is pretty high as well - so I wouldn't go there on a first date, or when intense romance is required. But the waiter was funny, and the food was nice, and we got a booking at a couple of hours notice, which was pretty cool for NYE.

    Great dinner for New Years Eve. The burata, tomato and prosciutto appetizer is delicious. Great entree and many very good things to pick on the menu. We will definitely be back. Great neighborhood gem. Worth the drive as well.

    The proprietor/chef Giovanni welcomed us personally and helped us select his special scaloppini of pork. He also suggested we split the lovely tender calamari appetizer, which is far more delicious than other restaurants fried calamari. The restaurant is smart to offer Prosecco by the glass and also by the bottle.

    We come for special occasions , but the menu includes pizzas for a more casual meal. The restaurant has a friendly vibe and warm ambiance that welcomes families and larger groups as well as couples. A winner!

    One of the best dining experiences we've had here in Santa Cruz. It all began ei a table, ready, at our reservation time. Immediate seating. Prompt attention to our desires for beverage and appetizer. Served by expediters with accuracy and politeness. THe owner (I guess) stopped by for a brief chat a couple of times. The food - kids meals to the specials - wonderful! Not rushed to turn the table. THe whole evening was remarkable.
