My favorite place to get Italian food! We got a reservation in advance and were seated right away. All of the dishes came out fresh and our server came by every so often to check up on us. Definitely recommend the vanilla soufflé, it was absolutely amazing.

One of the last family owned and operated Italian restaurants in Orange county. I have been coming here for over two decades and the food quality and service are always outstanding.This is definitely a heavier and larger portioned place and we usually have plenty of leftovers. The complimentary garlic bread is always good and some of the pastas are home made.Much better than any of the big Italian chains and the best Tiramisu of any Italian restaurant around.

I will say I was very put out. It was 4:30 in the afternoon on a Monday. The restaurant was completely empty. I just needed a table for one. They wanted to sit me in the center of the restaurant at a two top. I requested a table against the wall and let the hostess know I’d be in and out quickly I was just gonna grab a quick bite. They refused to let me sit at the table of my choice. And a completely empty restaurant. I will never go to this restaurant again. As a former restaurant owner from New York, this simply blew me away.

Had a large family birthday celebration , everyone ordered a different meal and all enjoyed the delicious food. Bread was plentiful, service was friendly. I love the creamy Italian salad dressing and Eggplant Sorrentina don’t forget to order the yummy special recipe pasta as your side!Kid-friendliness: Although there is no “kids menu” available, they were able to make a smaller portion of noodles with butter for the child. The portion was still extremely generous.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy for wheelchair to get into the restaurant from the parking lot that has several handicap parking spots. There was a convenient table near the door where the wheelchair fit easily.

Been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years with my parents and now with my own family. Giuseppe(original owner) was great and Pietro (the chef) is also great. BUT, new ownership (Martin) is money hungry and very rude! Doesn’t know anything about.how to treat customers! They’ve lost one of their original customers!! Will never go back and no longer refer friends!!! Plenty of other options out there!!! Stay away!!! Martin e un CAZZO!!

Excellent place and food but unfortunately the owner yells very badly at his employees, it is something you do not want to hear when you are enjoying dinner, you should have more respect for

Typical Italian restaurant, with an incredible quality of antipasti, pastas and sauce diversity!!!Additionally, there is a variety of meats and fish on their menu.Excellent wine list and remarkable attention from all the staff.Another detail to highlight is that its owner, Mr. Martín, is constantly in contact with the diners (something very unusual)...we will return.Parking: In front of the restaurant and free.

Used to be good, but then the Sicilian brothers sold the place and it took a nosedive. Such a shame.

Delicious! We ordered fish and shrimp moqueca and it was delicious! The 4 size easily serves 6 people. Super well served, with lots of fish and shrimp. Very good service too. I would come back every day.
