   We went for their Easter Brunch. The assortment of foods were wonderful, they even had two fish dishes. I especially enjoyed the short-rib pasta. The staff kept my mimosa glass full the entire time and my companions coffee cup too. So many fun things to eat, the had a kids mac & cheese and I saw a number of children going back for more. The bunny rabbit was handing out candy and taking pictures with those who wanted them. They were very cute.

   We had a party of 7 and our server (lady with long strawberry blonde hair) was fantastic! She recommended some food because there was so much to choose from and we loved everything! We even ordered extra meals to share because the food was that good. Drinks from the bar were great too. Definitely would recommend!

   Service was great! This is a gem in the middle of Lemon Grove.

   Personally, Italian food isn’t high on my list of favorite foods, but from the start walking towards the restaurant I could only think to myself how pretty this restaurant is (especially once you walk inside). The waitress we had was so nice and attentive to us, the noise level wasn’t too loud and I was able to enjoy a conversation with my boyfriend. The lobster bisque and bruschetta were very delicious and the short rib gnocchi and the San Danielle pizza were amazing as well. This is a restaurant I can definitely see myself coming back to in the near future even to enjoy the other things on the menu. This restaurant is better for me than any of the other Italian restaurants I’ve tried in little Italy even. Thank you guys for a good night! Also I must say, for everything we ordered (even a bottle of wine), the price is definitely worth it.

   I decided to try out this restaurant for the first time. It was really nice and it being a local neighborhood restaurant made it even better. The service was fantastic and very attentive. There was a wide selection of great dishes and I was very pleasantly surprised. There was plenty of parking in the back and a very nice outdoor patio for dining. I would highly recommend this place

   What a great little treasure of a Italian restaurant out in Lemon Grove. Been going there for years, our waitress Shannon is one of the best A+++ The pear salad is absolutely delicious. And even though the mac & cheese is on the kids menu it’s absolutely out of this world you can tell it’s homemade. 😀😀😀😀
