    Atlantic Salmon with a side of mushrooms (includes one side)

    Food and service are both very good. I highly recommend the cioppino. The soup was piping hot and delicious - definitely one of the better ones among other SGV Italian restaurants. Inside is dark and loud. Parking is very limited. After 5pm, you can park next door at the paint store and the body shop but people double park and block entrances.

    Intimate spot, small venue, amazing food! Came here on a Friday at 5pm with some colleagues. Service was quick. It seemed to be a family owned business - they were quick to refill my Diet Coke which I loved. Let's talk about the spread.... Everything was delicious. The calamari sticks were fresh and crispy. So flavorful! Sliders were juicy and cooked to perfection. Garlic bread was complimentary and sooooo buttery! I want to go back and try their pasta. Definitely worth it. I will be back. Until then 5 stars for service and food!

    Enjoyed a quick dinner in the bar area last night. Decent crowd as I noticed the restaurant business seems to have slowed down in the SGV. The antipasto salad was 5 stars. It's a great salad for 2 with a nice light salad dressing. It was really good. I ordered the pizza which I normally order. It was cooked perfect with great generous toppings. Most times I order pizza here and it's not cooked enough so I asked for a couple more minutes in the oven. It then always comes out over cooked. Did not say a word last night and it came out great. Still think they could work on the crust recipe to make a really great pizza since the toppings are good. Nice Vodka & Pinot pours! Definitely Recommend!!'

    Chopped Cobb Salad (with no bacon and dressing on the side)

    Finally i get to try Nikki C which has been around for years. Food is great. Service is friendly and attentive. Ambiance is lively and charming. Not a quiet place. it also has a bar area with sports playing on televisions. Interior is very dark with dim lighting. Came here around 6:30p on a weekday night. We were seated at a booth by the wall. Once sat down, bread and vinegar oil mix were served right away while we checked out the menu. Everything tastes great and fresh. We ordered clam linguine, Margherita pizza and a Cobb salad. I am delighted to see minced clams and huge clams with shells in the pasta. There is limited parking in the front lot and back lot of the restaurant. Their website states that after 5p, customers can park next door at the Catalina paint store and auto shop (both front lot and back lot ok). Street parking along Rosemead works too

    Very good! No complaints at all! Upon seated bread is served, warm bread and the vinegar was perfectly tasted. We started with a Cesar salad, and all the main courses are very good and the portions were big!! Don't miss their tiramisu too! The people are friendly, just they didn't come by very often. The dining room is dark, music is a bit loud ....

    My husband and I with 8 family members came here on 9/8/25. My husband and I just got married and wanted to treat our guests to some yummy food. The ambiance was perfect. The music playing in the background was great. The service was above and beyond. My apologies for not remembering the bartenders name but he was amazing. Thank you!!

    First time here. Dim with an old style tavern ambiance. Was not busy on a Saturday night at 7pm. I know what I came there for - Linguini & Clams! We got both styles, enjoyed both very much. I love places that give chopped clams in addition to shelled on your plate. Their clams were massive, first time seeing that. Caesar salad was great. Will try new dishes the next time. Our bread was cold and over-baked, burnt on the bottom so we just picked at it. Hopefully it was just an off day looking forward to trying it again the next time.

    The cioppino is so good. My wife and I usually stop by for lunch and a drink. The service is good and it's usually not too busy.

The place itself has a really cool vibe, kind of an old brick, industrial style that gives it character. We had a private outdoor room in the back, which was a great setup for a party. They also had games available, which added to the fun. For a Saturday night around 7:30-8:00 p.m., it wasn't overly crowded, There was plenty of parking, and most of the staff were welcoming, attentive, and quick with service. Drink prices were reasonable too,. The only downside, and honestly a big one for me, is the food situation. If you want food, You're required to order from the restaurant next door due to their contract (according to security at the door), and the prices are pretty steep. For example, $32 for 12 chicken wings with no sides just didn't sit right with me. We asked if we could bring in outside food (we were craving pizza), but security said no until the restaurant closes, which was too late for us. Because of that restriction, I probably wouldn't return. It's unfortunate, because the place itself has good vibes and a lot of potential. If they allowed more flexibility with food options, it would make a big difference.

I would not recommend this place as they no longer care about customer service or serving food that is overcooked or sitting under a heating lamp dried up. The games are either broken or waiting to be fixed. Overall, I was very disappointed with my visit.

It appears that Friday is one of their busier nights. Come prepared to wait approx 1 hr. Once we were sat the service was fast, we told our waitress her to come back for the food order but she seemed overwhelmed. She took her time to come back to get our order. At the end of our meal she let us know she was clocking out but we were unaware she wanted us to pay right away, she mentioned someone else was going to tend to us. I feel we had a miscommunication because she came back looking for the bill & we kept on chatting thinking another server was coming. Anyhow, I get it's a high pace environment & she might have been overwhelmed but she didn't directly tell us she needed us to pay.
