This is truly one of Orange County's hidden gems. An amazing Italian restaurant with family roots…read morethat has a wonderful and cozy atmosphere, delicious food and top notch dining staff. The Minestrone soup made by the owner's mother is best in class...one of the greatest dishes served at any restaurant in Orange County (I very highly recommend!!). The cuisine from the kitchen is consistently delicious. What is equally as delighting is the friendly service staff. I just left there for my third time and have had three different servers and they have all been absolutely fantastic. Each time I leave this restaurant, I immediately think about when I'm going back. I suggest this place to anyone who wants to eat tasty food served by amazing people.

Date of visit: Sep 8, 2026…read more What a disappointing birthday dinner. I came here with high hopes of finding one of those hidden-gem, hole-in-the-wall Italian places, but unfortunately, it all ended up blowing up in my face. The biggest problem was simple: everything--from the soup to the main dishes--was way too salty. We were a party of six, and three of us ordered pasta with the garlic cream sauce: the Pescatore, Shrimp & Scallop, and Clam. The sauce wasn't thickened enough, so it was much too soupy for a pasta dish, and the taste of white wine was very prominent. The garlic cream sauce was salty too, although nowhere near as crazy salty as the Chicken Piccata, Tortellini Giovanni, and Minestrone. Chicken Piccata: Like everything else we tried, this dish was just way too salty. The lemon-butter sauce was completely overwhelmed by the capers, and eating it honestly felt like shoveling forkfuls of salt into my mouth. The only saving grace was the chicken itself, which was cooked well and had a nice golden-brown exterior. Tortellini Giovanni: Just okay. I've definitely had better. The cheese filling inside the tortellini wasn't particularly good, although the Italian sausage was pretty tasty. The more I ate, though, the saltier, heavier, and oilier the dish seemed to get. Overall, there was really nothing special about it. Minestrone: SO salty that I couldn't even finish it. I'm not sure if this is simply their recipe or if the soup had been refrigerated and reheated to the point where some of the water had evaporated, leaving the salt increasingly concentrated. It's too bad because the underlying flavor was actually there--it was just completely ruined by the amount of salt. Pizza: Just okay. The dough wasn't bad, and I actually liked that it had some chewiness to it. But for the price, I'd rather go somewhere else. I really wanted to love this place, especially since this was my birthday dinner. I wasn't expecting fancy or perfect--I was hoping for a charming little hole-in-the-wall with really good, comforting Italian food. Unfortunately, we left super disappointed.

LACMA Rock - Turning from Valley View onto Rosecrans

LACMA Rock

How quickly this spectacle was forgotten when the Endeavour tore through town…read more The LACMA Rock, which would later be stuck in place as their "Levitated Mass" and now sits mostly forgotten unless a herd of tourists wants to stand in front of it and take one of those corny perspective pictures of themselves trying to lift or push it, came through Southern California on surface roads. Avoiding freeways because it couldn't fit under bridges or overpasses, it had to go this slow, winding path from Riverside County. Well, the rock, wrapped up in white plastic like a frozen Butterball turkey, stopped for the night around the corner from my house. Honestly, Levitated Mass is far less interesting than the drama it was watching the rock get to LACMA. I ended up going out the night before to watch the damned thing turn a corner in La Mirada. There were 100 people already gathered. City vehicles were around to take down the street lights and make sure the wires were high enough, while police and paramedics parked their cars in the middle of the street to watch. One parked in front of a corner with a big group of on-lookers already standing there. An elderly lady, whose high-pitched voice occasionally rung out, "IS IT HERE YEEEET?!" started screeching from her lawn chair, "EXCUSE ME!! We were sitting HERE. You're blocking my view!!" and proceeded to throw her bedroom slippers at the ambulance. Then there was some drama with a stretch limo trying to come through the closed intersection and the police getting on their loudspeakers to tell it to move, to the roars of the crowd. While we waited for the rock to show up, got to talking with some of the people hanging around. Apparently this wasn't the first time a lot of them had seen the rock, with a few of them saying they'd been following along since Riverside. So yeah, the rock had groupies. It shows up with the biggest rig imaginable, with one truck pulling and two pushing. The rig was really long, with dozens upon dozens of tires. A low hanging tree ended up cracking and snapping as the branches got caught on the rock and ripped out. People ooh'd and ahh'd and then got in their cars to watch it make the next scheduled turn. I went home. Got up the next morning to get some cough syrup, still in my pajamas, and there it was next to the CVS with countless people from all around there to gawk at it as cars went by slowly, one at a time, since the traffic was cut down to one lane. Lots of impatient honking from people trying to get to the 605. It's sort of funny. Was this supposed to be performance art? It sort of inadvertently became such. It seemed like a bigger headache to get the LACMA rock around and yet people complained more abhorrently when the Endeavour came through in less than half the time. Can't wait for the next gargantuan thing a museum acquires for the betterment of the city's people to come rolling through to the tune of everyone's complaints and broadcasted yawns. Good grief.

I went to see the 340 ton rock on its way to the museum. I went on Friday and couldn't find it at…read morethe place it was supposed to be. It turns out they were 2 miles behind schedule and I just missed it when I got off the 71 freeway. On Saturday I found it and enjoyed seeing the truck it is on, but the rock is covered with an enormous trash bag. The museum has staff there passing out bookmarks with rock facts printed on it. Duane Johnson has nothing to do with it but it would be something to have their pictures together, eh?

Being 1/4 Polish, I have wanted to come to this festival for years. Unfortunately every year it is…read moreHOT, like 100* outside, and I never wanted to deal with that. Lucky for me, the weather was fantastic this past weekend, so we went! We arrived shortly after they opened on Sunday morning. There is a church down the street you can park at for free, but we found a spot in the neighborhood next door. Admission is free. There were a handful of vendors with jewelry, art, books...honestly we didn't check anything out, we were there for lunch. They have a highly organized system that I enjoyed. There are a few booths with menus for all the food vendors. Tell them what you want and they will ring you up for whatever you are buying, then hand you scrips to pay with. You cannot buy anything at the food booths with real money. I liked this cause it minimized the wait times in the lines for each food vendor so you don't need to deal with people figuring out what to order, how to pay, or people counting change. It's so streamlined and easy. For $40 we got a Polish beer, a bottle of water, a "dinner" plate, and three potato pancakes. The dinner plate was bread, a large heaping of sauerkraut, three potato & cheese pierogis, one kielbasa (your choice of smoked or fresh), a cabbage roll, and condiments of horseradish cream, mustard, and ketchup. All of the food was fantastic! Our favorite was the potato pancakes, which were savory, yet served with a sour cream that was kind of sweet, applesauce, and powdered sugar. They were sooo good! They had a couple things for kids, face painting, fake tattoos, a picture area to pose in. It was cute. There was a stage and we heard people would be performing soon, but we left before that got started. I would love to come again next year, if the weather is nice again!

Have been coming here since 2016. The food is very authentic and tasty. The prices have been…read moreincreasing but this is also a fundraiser so I don't mind splurging (everything is costing more these days anyways). It can get hot and crowded that's why we always try to come at opening when there are no lines for food. I highly recommend!
