Two words: lobster ravioli…read more It's exactly what I was craving and this dish delivered. The ravioli are handmade and generously filled with sweet lobster tail meat. They're nestled in a saffron cream sauce that glows a deep golden orange and is slightly aromatic. The tomatoes add just enough acidity to brighten each bite. Pair it with a glass of white wine and the soft ocean breeze, and it becomes the kind of evening that feels quietly perfect. This family-run restaurant has been around since 2000, with a cozy and romantic interior that feels like a true trattoria but I always choose to sit outside to soak in that incredible Cali weather most of the year. The food is classic Italian and very comforting. The location is just a few blocks from the beach with plenty of free street parking right out front. Service is warm and flows naturally.

We had a party of 7 this time around and we got a couple of orders of the burrata bellina. It was…read moredelicious....not only was the burrata delish, but the spinach and tomatoes that came with it, along with the fresh ground pepper they added to it, really enhanced the dish. IMO, the best burrata dish I've ever had. For my main I had the Rigatoni w/ sausage this time around; I have to say that I thought the Linguini with Shrimp [that I ordered last time] was much better. However, my friend also had the rigatoni w/ sausage and he raved about how good it was. So, YMMV depending on your tastebuds. :)

Not only that, but I ordered a cappuccino, and it was clearly made by a pro, milk art and all. Both of our dishes tasted great (see photos) and everything arrived quickly. Hopefully this place is super busy for dinner but lunch here is definitely something I recommend.

First time here tonight!…read more We started with the pomegranate and arugula salad and the pear and arugula salad. Both were really good but I preferred the pear salad. It had a really nice raspberry smear on it that sweetened it up. Then we had the rigatoni gamberi alla vodka pasta (got the gluten feee option) and my hubby had the chicken al limone. We both would get them again. (Although I forgot to ask for low sodium. Next time I will) Then we got the dessert flight. Really good choice. We liked the tiramisu the best. And the nice touch I'd like to mention is that they really use nice cutlery. It makes a difference

My…read moreson enjoyed their pizza, my daughter loved their chicken cutlet, my husband loved their gnocchi, and I loved their cioppino. However it a bit on the pricier side (especially $12 for a scoop of gelato). Service was a little slow. Ambiance was interesting. At least there was plenty of space for kids to move around. Ample amount of parking!

My go to place for fine Italian food. I rarely get pizzas but their wood pizza oven does make crispy tasty pizza crust! Their wine selection is good and not too overpriced (for a restaurant). About the only downside is the parking as their lot is very small and the parking across the street on the dirt is limited as well. It does serve to limit the wait time and they take reservations. I like that when you pay the bring you the credit card machine so no one walks away with your card.

We chose to dine outside, in their covered patio, where we enjoyed glasses of wine and, the following: - Garlic Bread ($7.95) - served with a delicious, chunky marinara sauce (loved it!); - Penne Puttanesca ($22.25) - I enjoyed the texture of the pasta; however, the sauce was overly tangy for my preference; - Penne Prosciutto Funghi ($22.50) - hubby absolutely loved his dish; full of flavors and textures -- comfort-food worthy (I'd initially considered ordering this dish)! Great find, and one we'd look forward to returning to when in this area.

It was easy to book a reservation online ahead of time. We were promptly seated upon arrival. Our waiter was wonderful! He seemed like he was the owner or manager. He knew the menu really well. We ordered a bunch of small plates (tapas) and enjoyed every single one: the squid, patatas bravas, shishito peppers, artichoke, shrimp, to name a few, and they were all delicious and thoughtfully made. They had some good options on the kids menu too, my daughter chose the fish and fries and loved it! They made my husband's birthday special by bringing churros with a candle for dessert. Great way to end our experience. Overall a really nice and upscale-like experience at a reasonable price! Highly recommend! We'll be back.

Service: Luis, an amazing server. He gave my husband and I his own personal favs. Which was valid. Get the Wienerschnitzel, you won't be disappointed. The service was exceptional and didn't feel rushed. Overall, Luis makes me want to come back to hear more of his other personal favs. I will be coming back. Food: Every appetizer, entree, desserts and drinks were divine. My personal fav was the patatas pavera because of the unique flavors. I had 5 different items and not a bad bite in the bunch
