One of the best family owned Italian restaurant ever in Burbank, CA. I cannot believe they have closed their business forever !

Sadly the day I visited this place was it's last day of business, they are closing for good. The owner from the building decided to sell the whole property. The restaurant is pretty small inside and it's hard to get a table and is also hard to get a spot out on the street. Flavor from the food was like 7 out of 10.

Bad attitude & horrible employees. Dirty tables & bad food. Don't do it!!! I would give it zero stars if I could.

After more than 5 years of being a regular customer, I will never eat here again. I placed a delivery order through DoorDash, which was confirmed by the restaurant, and they canceled it after I waited over an hour for the delivery and the Dasher was at the restaurant already . I called to find out why and was told they turned off "Grubhub" a week ago. What does that have to do with DoorDash? Also, why confirm the order or why not cancel sooner? The lady I spoke to was rude and actually laughed at me for calling. I asked to speak with a manager and was told there is no manager. This is why small businesses go out of business.

I was craving pasta for lunch so I found this place. Called my order in and it was ready quickly. This review is only for my order/food as I haven't dined here before. I ordered the carbonara with linguine pasta. I hoped it tasted good because it cost $21! I've paid less for pasta at fancier restaurants. The quality was very basic. Felt like everything was pre made and you could make better pasta at home. I couldn't get through it as it got worse once it cooled.

Love this place and the owners especially the son, the son is extremely nice and provides me with my requests of a lot of lemon for my beer, my buddies and I go here when we work at universal or WB it's close and the food is really good especially the seafood pasta and the chicken with prosciutto is excellent!

Inquired about gluten free food for my gf’s allergy. I guess they found it funny she had an allergy cause they were laughing. The girl who answered the phone said she believes the food is gluten free still while laughing. I asked to speak to a manager and the response was that they are busy all while still laughing. This place is a joke. Zero stars if possible.

Hidden gem! Try the bruschetta- it's amazing! Restaurant wasn't that crowded when we got here but service was friendly and quick they have great lunch specials. I got the pasta primers with shrimp and gnocchi and it was amazing

In this upside down time of Covid, I had the great pleasure of meeting a young lady who works here part time and she spoke so highly of it that I had to bring a friend and try the food. This is a very simple family owned place with a clean simple decor. The ambience was welcoming and warm. Since my lady and I didn't want just pizza, we tried a full meal with antipasto, pasta, New York steak and then, of course, dessert, espresso and digestive. WOW!!! and this was on a Monday night. The food was excellent, preparation was perfect, service was impeccable. The regulars were at the the bar with Johnny and everyone was happy. It felt like a European Bistro. I will be a new regular until I can't get a seat any more. A very refreshing discovery at the end of 2021.
I made reservations here for a family dinner. The menu is very accommodating to GF/Vegetarian options. The service was very friendly, but not very fast. We waited more than an hour for our food. But, when it arrived it was delicious. This is a great spot for smaller parties, and for people who are not in a hurry!

I have passed by this restaurant for YEARS always wondering if it was any good. I got to try for the first time yesterday and I absolutely love the place. Restaurant - The place isn't very big. But there is seating at the bar, tables inside, and a few tables outside. The parking is SUPER limited. When we got there all of the street parking outside the restaurant was taken so we had to park in the neighborhood on the other side of where the street ends. Service - There was only two servers and we had a party of 25 but they did a very good job at getting our orders and drinks out quickly. The servers asked if we wanted to order for the kids in our group (since had 10 kids) before they came back to take the adults orders. He knew that parenting need to calm the kids down by getting their food out first. That's was a nice touch to know the customer. One of the servers was also the bartender was very attentive to your drink needs. When I was almost finished with my drink, he looked at me and gave the "one more sign with his hands", I gave a thumbs ups, and he brought it. Food - I wasn't very hungry, so my wife and I shared the Pizza Ai Quattro Formaggi. The dough was light and the pizza as a whole was refreshing. It wasn't heavy and greasy. We got to try some of what our friends ordered and it was all really good. I not sure what the names of the dishes other since they weren't our order but dishes we sampled was angel hair pasta with sausage, the fried eggplant in patty shape with sauce on top, and the grilled chicken with sautéed onions and spinach with some kind of gravy sauce. All of it was REALLY tasty without the sauce being too overwhelming. Overall - I'm definitely coming back here. My kids love Italian so we're coming as a family next time. There is more on the menu I want to try.

My experience was different than all 5 star reviews. Bruschetta too salty. Fried mushrooms no salt. Pizza was good. Overall the food was okay but the cleanliness and hygiene of this location is zero. Not enough staff, we had to beg them for service.

Such a great place to go with friends and family! The pizza slice with chicken sausage (ask for it well done) is awesome and love the meatballs and bruschetta. Johnny and Marlena are friendly, attentive, and professional.

This is the best salad, and food is yummy. Johnny who works here always treats us great.
