Saw this on our way down to walk along the beach. Decided to stop in on the way back and were not disappointed. Hubby & I shared a ground beef & mushroom pizza and Peroni. Just off Del Mar, atmosphere was nice, service was friendly, the beer was ice cold, and the pizza was delicious. My husband said it was the best he's had in a few years. We'll be back again for sure.

Some of the best Italian I've had in awhile! Kids got the cheese pizza..very good!Husband and I started with clam chowder and the kids stole our bread and requested a second basket, almost like toasted sticks...perfect for dipping.We ordered the seafood pasta and the Cravings Mama Mia...both were delicious but the Cravings Mama Mia.....the sauce was just perfect. Both highly recommend.Service was outstanding.

There's nothing good about this place. The food is bland. Eat frozen pizza and a bagged salad from Ralph's before wasting your time and money here. If you dine in, they treat you like a total inconvenience. You're not welcome here. But it's ok because the food is Walmart quality.

The flavors of the lasagna and the clam linguini with white wine sauce is sooooo good. My boyfriend and I did not have high expectations for this place. We figured it would be your average Italian spot. We were blown away by every dish we ordered including the garlic bread sticks. Their clam linguini had so much clam in it, cut up pieces and whole clams. It tasted so fresh. I normally see one or the other. The pasta here is so nice and soft when biting into. There are bits of red onion, something I don’t normally see in this dish, but the flavors all blended well. My plate came out steaming hot and everything just tasted super fresh. Even the garlic bread is not your typical garlic bread. When it came out my BF knew it was going to be good. Sure enough it did not disappoint. We would come back here because the food is so good.

It surprised me how good it is. Their marinara sauce is very good, rich in spice. I had the spaghetti and sausage with an order of garlic bread. I poured the side of marinara from the garlic bread on my pasta, added red pepper and it was awesome. I will be back soon!

Very nice people. Place could be a little cleaner…the crushed pepper container was sticky. Good food for a good price.

This is the absolute best Pizza place in Orange County. The crust is perfect and the cheese and sauce combo is magic in your mouth. Highly recommend!!

Went in for Valentine’s Day lunch. We were very pleased from the time we walked up- the aromas coming from the open kitchen invited us inside. There are 10 or so lunch specials to choose from at $12.95 plus salad or soup. The sauce tastes like the East Coast. Perfect location next to a plant nursery, bakery and other shops.

Exceptionally good but simple, freshly made food. Really enjoyed the dinner and the leftovers the next day.
