We were greeted by a friendly woman who took us to our table. Inside the restaurant, it's very bright and clean with a minimalist appearance. It wasn't too fancy. The menu had a great selection, they had a great wine selection as well. We were served sliced bread with olive oil to start. We ordered the lasagna Bolognese and the lobster ravioli. Both portions were perfect. The lasagna was incredible with loads of flavor. The lobster ravioli was not fishy, and I love the sauce that it came in. I would have enjoyed a little more taste of the lobster, but it was there. Overall, I would definitely return. I hope to try a dessert next time I go. We were just too stuffed to have anything else. Gotta try this place!

I can't believe it took me so many years to try this place! There are several really good Italian…read morerestaurants in San Pedro. This is my new favorite! It tastes like I'm back in Rome. Well balanced, bold flavors, fresh, quality ingredients. I've tried their chicken Parmesan, Caesar salad, bruschetta, Seabass piccata, and spaghetti and meatballs. All were excellent! A perfect amount of garlic, pasta was not overcooked, al dente, like I like it, with rich delicious flavors.

What a great experience I had at this place for a friends birthday!…read more The ambiance here is typical of a modern Italian restaurant. It's very welcoming and has a lot of places to sit with both inside and outdoor choices. Service was the highlight here. They were very on top of our big table and always made sure our waters were filled whenever we ran out. The owner even came out to make sure we had a fantastic birthday celebration for our group. The food was very filling. I wouldn't say it's the best quality I ever had but you get basically a three course meal with bread and pepper service, a salad, and an entree. I got the ravioli and it was pretty good. Overall, I definitely can recommend this place if you want to feel satiated.

The lots across the street were all occupied, the lot (almost) adjacent to it didn't allow restaurant customers, all the closest street spots were taken. Took a minute but finally found one around the corner. I was impressed when I walked in: this eatery is poppin'! Lots of customers and a few more waiting for a table. Staff pointed us to the general direction where our private event was, and already food was set up whenever we were good and ready to go. The banquet hall was very well decorated although seating was a bit tight. There were a couple of no-shows on our assigned table so we got a bit of wiggle room. On our table were a plate of bruschetta, bread and butter ready for sharing and they were all delish. Ditto iced tea and water. Staff didn't hesitate to give more when asked. We availed of the buffet table when instructed. A couple of types of salad (regular and Caprese), a couple of types of pasta (cooked al dente and flavorful sauces), tender chicken masala with amazing sauce and mushrooms, meatballs were soft and moist... all of them made with fantastic flavor. FOOD: 5. Loved everything. SERVICE: 5. As chaotic as it was, the staff were champions at providing anything and everything the guests needed. VALUE: Can't comment on this as I was a guest... PARKING: Metered street parking only, free after 6pm. A challenge during dinner rush. I overheard someone mention a parking lot behind the restaurant, so that might be an option. OVERALL: 5, based on food and service. We enjoyed the food while we enjoyed some performances by Auntie's beautiful kids and grandkids and other family members. They're popular for a reason! Here's hoping for another visit sometime in the near future!

It's a small shop as well where you can pick up some Italian groceries, definitely want to pick up some products next time we make pasta as it looks very authentic.

The ingredients were so fresh, the pesto was rich, the mozzarella was flavorful. My husband got the Godfather (medium size), big serving, great balance of flavors. Will definitely be back!

Paid the $15 for my sandwich AND paid another $2.75 for tip. It was on the screen while young man held the device for me to pay. He asked if I wanted a receipt. That's it. No 'thank you'. No smile. No acknowledgment of the 15% tip I just gave him. Why aren't the employees in this deli happy? It wasn't overly busy. The A/C was working fine. I've worked in far worse conditions at their age. The sandwich was very good. Ingredients were fresh. Bread was perfect. But the employees seem sad.

The special is now $13.85, comes out to $15.15 with tax. Tis a bargain in this economy--although who wouldn't reminisce about the days when this special was around $7-8. My slice of pepperoni pizza, and the anchovy slice, coupled with the blue cheese dressing (on the side) salad hit the spot. Oh and I forgot to mention the excellent service: my car was parked out front with my dog in it, so the cashier said he would bring my food out to my car when it was ready. Thank you!!

Whenever I order pizza by the slice, it's good; but when I order the whole pie, it's not as crispy. I like I bit of crisp to the edges because then it's a bit easier to fold and eat. I feel like it also tastes better. They have several pizza by the slice combos that are fairly priced. It's cash only and the customer service is usually pretty good so I'm not going to complain. I'll definitely come back.

At first, they seemed organized as they called out names for pick-up and the flow was going. However, once our 70 minutes passed, we moved inside so we wouldn't miss our order. We checked in and finally got our food. The pizza seemed to be missing lots of pepperoni, but we didn't want to complain because we were so hungry. The wings were disappointing--bloated and soggy. To top off the chaos, a guy walked in while we were eating, and the staff shouted out the name "Brett." He looked amazed that they "knew him", anyway they handed him the order without checking the system. Ten minutes later, he came back saying he had the wrong pizza because it had pineapple. Meanwhile, a frustrated woman was waiting for her pineapple pizza, and the real Brett was outside drinking a beer! "Random Brett" had just come out of nowhere and was given the wrong order. Every mistake was given a "10-minute fix" estimate. The cashier was explaining to t the kitchen that she's getting yelled at by customers for all the blunders, and while there were five people working in the kitchen when we arrived, only one gal was left by the time we were eating. Someone even came in from next door asking for a manager, but none was present. Get it together, guys! You have a good thing going with the pizza, but the service was a mess and the wings were not good.

Oh well, that gave us a good excuse to come back Friday! Gaetano's has a new lunch menu. On Tuesday I had the Salsa Verde Steak Sandwich, and on Friday I tried the Gaetano Sandwich. Both were delicious and definitely won't leave you disappointed--or hungry! She had the Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli both days and loved it so much there was no reason to try anything else. It wasn't very busy at lunchtime, so we didn't need a reservation. The restaurant was comfortably air-conditioned, which felt especially good on a hot, humid summer day. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and two very enjoyable lunches in one week. We'll definitely be back!
