They also have an omakase menu for 4 that might have a slightly different number of dishes. We again took home about a third of the pasta, risotto and steak entree. Highly recommend using Yelp waitlist. Music playing today in background but it was soft Japanese jazz. Very efficient kitchen had dishes coming out at a good pace. Waitresses quiet and unobtrusive.

I actually really liked breaded shrimp. It was very crispy and the batter wasn't too thick. The tar tar sauce it came with was so good. The Hamburg steak was really good with the Demi glaze sauce. Both these dishes came with some noodles and potato salad. The seared scallop was slightly fishy to me, but overall the dish was still good! It was a mushroom risotto and it was very creamy.

The servers were helpful and moved us when we realized what we ordered was a bit too much for the table. - The pizza was flush with many types of mushrooms and very tasty (tho a bit heavy on the black pepper). - The pasta countered the heaviness of the pizza by being light and fresh, with a good amount of meatballs and mushrooms. Will be back to try more someday~

Il Fiora is a Korean-Italian fusion restaurant located at The Source shopping plaza in Buena Park…read more The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, service was excellent, and the food was well-prepared. I ordered the Rosé pasta with chicken instead of shrimp. For those unfamiliar with this dish, Korean rosé pastas are a popular fusion of Italian tomato-cream sauce with Korean gochujang, or fermented chili paste, which gives the dish a creamy and mildly spicy flavor profile. Thankfully, the version here was excellent. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh.

The starter bread was a nice touch, especially with the roasted garlic spread and it added a great twist compared to the typical olive oil and vinaigrette combo. The seafood pasta looked great I'd consider coming back to try it if I'm in the area again. Service is an area they really need to improve. I personally saw people leave because the servers weren't attentive, and it felt like only one out of the three was actually hustling and taking care of all the tables.

I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and one meatball. It came with a garden salad and one of their famous breadsticks. It was just the right serving size for lunch. Their regular entrée menu has generous portions, so I usually take leftovers home. We also ordered the calamari (half size), and it was still enough for three people. Bite-sized squid with a light, crispy coating, served with marinara dipping sauce. HIGHLIGHTS: * Extensive menu with many Italian classics including pastas, pizzas, seafood, salads, and more! Along with monthly specials. * Lunch Menu has great offerings at affordable prices. * Ideal spot for vegans and vegetarians * The staff is kind and attentive. Food came out promptly during a weekday lunch. * Good beverage menu with soft drinks, beer, wine, and flights. * Spacious dining with booths and tables, a bar, and patio seating * Live music on Thurs., Fri., and Sat. evenings (check calendar on the website), mainly jazz, pop, contemporary, and requests. * Happy Hour Mon-Fri starting at 4:30 pm * They accept reservations and offer take-out * Plenty of parking in the large lot Overall, my recent visit was pleasant and deliciously satisfying. I'm looking forward to returning again soon!

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our server even let us sample a wine before choosing, which was such a nice touch. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up ordering a bottle. There were eight of us in our party, and despite the larger group, the service was excellent throughout our entire meal. As we were leaving, the manager/owner came by personally to greet us. She was so pleasant and wonderful, and shared so much about the restaurant and its story. It was truly lovely to see a mom-and-pop restaurant still thriving and providing such a personal experience. Another nice touch is that every meal comes with your choice of salad or soup.

The restaurant is small but has such a cozy atmosphere, with just enough tables to feel intimate without being cramped. My husband and I ordered the uni cream pasta and the bolognese - the uni pasta was delicious, rich and briny with that unmistakable uni flavor coming through, however it was a bit too heavy by the end but still worth trying though if you're a fan of uni! The bolognese on the other hand was ABSOLUTELY delicious, probably top 3 pastas I've had in my life. It was really flavorful and you could tell it had been simmered for quite a while, and the wine flavor really complimented the whole dish so well without being overpowering. Both pastas were cooked perfectly al dente and honestly left me wanting more. The chef actually came out and brought us our pastas himself, which was such a kind and personal touch. You could tell he genuinely cared about the food and the experience he was giving us and little details like that made the whole meal feel even more special. Overall such a great find, and I'm so glad I finally checked it out after hearing the hype. Would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

Good amount of sauce and perfect firmness on the noodles. But you know what I didnt like? It took awhile to get service here. My water was never refilled and getting the check was a chore. Three people work here: the Hispanic chef, the Japanese guy who expedites the plates, and the lady who does everything else. But the worse part is the 18 percent tip that is the lowest choice without hitting custom tab. All in all, it's a cute place with tasty pasta that you might as well get it togo.

The service was very good and the food for the most part was excellent. We had the olives and blanco bread as an appetizer. The bread was fresh made and came out hot straight out of the oven. The olives were marinade in fennel pollen and orange. I couldn't get enough of them. We shared a beat salad that was very tasty and my wife had the rack of lamb which was delicious. I will say that I did not enjoy my main course of Porchetta. I felt like it had good flavor, but it wasn't cooked well and the center where the pork belly was supposed to be tender and melting was very tough, chewy and inedible to me. Despite this one dish I really liked the restaurant and I am eager to go back and try something different.

We were there on Saturday night, but fortunately we were seated right away, on the dining side. There was a fairly long line for the performance side. We could hear the music from the performance room, and it was a great band. We were fortunate to have an exceptional waiter, named Dar, who was extremely welcoming. Dar, and the assisting staff were great. The restaurant was very busy, but Dar and the staff were very attentive, keeping our drinks filled and updating us on the status of our order. Once our dinners were delivered, we found them to be generous portions and very delicious. We also ordered a dessert, to share, and it too was excellent. Spaghettini is a bit expensive, compared with other Italian restaurants, but the quality of the food and the overall experience make it a wonderful place for an enjoyable special dining experience.

Nobody was at the register at first so I had to flag someone down, but they were friendly once I did, and the pizza came out in about fifteen minutes. Ate outside at their high top table and the area was calm for it being 8pm. Bread was genuinely great, fluffy and well seasoned. However, I expected that rich, fatty asada flavor, but it tasted more like ground beef, and it was mostly cheese with barely any meat on top. Still a solid spot, just not worth $17 for a M.
