The ambiance feels very cozy and the food was delicious! The portion was great and they had plenty of parking!

The food is great, the service is always amazing. And it's just a cute restaurant; it gives off a great family feel! I love the Pasta Combo, you get to try 3 different pastas, penne Alfredo, tortellini with meat sauce and ravioli with pesto. You can add protein too! The bread is very yummy. Their pizza is also very good. I recommend it all around!

Lovely Italian restaurant. The staff is extremely nice and attentive. Viktor was our waiter and he was great! Food was delicious and what you would except from your nonnas house.

We just love this place, I think it's employees (and the food). Just had a great meal, some good wine and had a wonderful evening.

Friends, consider this a very "classic" restaurant with white tablecloths, an older crowd, friendly service, and pretty darn tasty food. I went with family and family friends, and though we were a fairly large party, the service was timely and all orders were accurate. We brought our own wine, but given it's our family, we "ran out". Two of us even ordered cocktails to start, but somehow, there was still a wine shortage. I ordered an old fashioned, which I realize is not what one would "normally" have at an Italian restaurant, but a) mind your business and b) it was really good. Appetizers and main courses were tasty and the portions generous.

This establishment definitely exceeded my and my parties expectations! I thought I had Crossed all my T's and Dotted all my I's, but when it came to the restaurant and menu; Juan, the owner was the one that put an exclamation point to the final planning. He suggested a three meal choices for the party; which was something that I didn't take into consideration. Juan and his staff made everything flow, elegant, and so hospitable! The staff was so Patient, Accommodating, and Assertive; not to mention, with Great Personalities! Victors, infectious smile, and humorous spirit made the ambience delightful. Saúl's kind mannerism and love for people really stood out. And Eileen was so on point and tentative to every situation, and next steps. The food, appetizers, and refreshments were all excellent, tasty, and you can't go wrong with what you order. Hats off to the cooks, chefs, and everyone involved in the preparation and cooking of the meals. This Great Team, Juan, Victor, Saúl, Eileen, and all the great chefs and cooks and complete staff made my Celebration Of Life for my High School Gymnastics Coach; a very Extraordinary and Memorable Occasion! Thank you so much BUON GUSTO!!! YOU ALL ASSISTED AND WERE PART OF THE REASON WHY OUR GATHERING IS SO MEMORABLE AND IMBEDDED IN OUR MINDS, HEARTS AND MEMORIES FOR YEARS TO COME!!!

My wife and I had recently gone there with some friends and had a fabulous dining experience. Last night our family decided to meet there for dinner and were thrilled at the superlative service, delicious food and presentation. Our server, Victor, made sure our dining experience was seamless. We felt like we had been going there for a long time and were treated like family. The food was delightful. Good size portions and all prepared with care. Truly a wonderful evening. We will be going back and introducing our friends to this wonderful restaurant.

This is a surprise find in 2024! I can see why this restaurant has been around since 1993 - they have excellent food and their wait staff are fantastic specially Saul! A friend suggested to meet at this location in Mission Hills for her birthday dinner. Her favorite drink when we go out at any restaurant is Prosecco so I suggested we share a bottle since we are eating Italian food! So glad we did for it was the perfect accompaniment to my Rissoto ala pescatore and her chicken manicotti. They started with the yummy bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and butter is available also. Their servings of our main meals does not do justice with the pictures. Typically it is less but in our case, they were massive. The risotto was "swimming" with seafood - shrimp, salmon, squid, clams, and mussels. Her serving of chicken with side of veggies and angel hair pasta was a good size portion (sorry, forgot to take pictures though). To top it all, Saul was so great (forgot the name of other wait staff who was also excellent) for he remembered it was my friend's birthday and they came out with a delicious cream brûlée! Before we left the restaurant, we were both planning to take other friends and our own families here. It is a great place right off the 405 to meet with friends to dine, for a date (saw a couple while we were there) and celebrate with families also. We will definitely return! Note: Free parking is available.

We arrived at 5:30 PM. The neighborhood is sketchy. Parking is very limited. It was a little scary walking from the parking lot to the restaurant. Once inside the experience shifted dramatically. The ambiance is traditional with white tablecloths and red or white cloth napkins. The menu is extensive with a wide variety of appetizers and main courses. Everything was decorated for Christmas. I ordered the veal parmigiana. The portion size was generous and it was real veal, not a veal patty. The dish came with angel hair pasta and lots of vegetables. It was a lot of food, not even counting the fresh bread baskets put out on the table. Service was excellent. There was never a time when we had to wait around for anything we needed. One member of the staff, without any prompting, offered to take our children on a tour of the kitchen. We were celebrating a birthday and the whole staff delivered a complimentary crème brûlée and sang Happy Birthday. It was a sweet ending to a very enjoyable dinner!
