Heba-I-amAugust 19, 2017Adolfo the waiter is great! I told him I was lactose intolerant and he informed the kitchen and everything came out dairy free!! I ordered a medium steak and it was MEDIUM! Not over or under! Perfect!
Alex HogganDecember 25, 2015Absolutely incredible. Took my whole family ( we are out of town) and is by far the best Italian food I have ever had. FANTASTIC service and a great experience overall I would deeply recommend.- Miranda CorgiatMarch 24, 2013Free cheesy bread to start is yummy and free ice cream to finish the meal off. Ordered the vegetarian pizza and was amazed by how delicious the crust was. Great prices and friendly, fast service.
- Kurt MillerMay 23, 2013One of the best Italian restaurants in Orange County. Excellent food and terrific service as well as portions big enough to satisfy the most enormous appetite. Love their pasta dishes!
StarGirl11March 16, 2014One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever ate at. Recommend it to anyone especially runners coming into town for the Disney races. Lots of options and delicious food.
David ZNovember 19, 2013Delicious food and a ridiculously amazing selection of beers. Do yourself a favor and try a beer you've never had before!
K BJuly 1, 2012I called in an order for delivery, I had the NewYork steak and shrimp Alfredo. It was absolutely delicious!! with a side of that garlic cheesy bread <3
Glenn LeeFebruary 28, 2014Food is great and portions are generous! Staff is friendly and helpful, but if none of that matters to you, the beer selection is HUGE!
Jessica WuOctober 29, 2013Delicious food and good service! Portions are well worth the price and the tiramisu is amazing!
Stephanie HaysFebruary 20, 2012Great food, our meals included salad, cheesy bread, and ice cream and the portions were huge, none of us finished our meals.
- John OlsenJanuary 11, 2013Try the Penne Chicken Arrabiata - Never had an arrabiata with olives and capers - kind of a cross with putenesca
- John OlsenJanuary 11, 2013Try the Spumoni - Complimentary - a classic old school Italian place where any entree is a full multi- course meal
Jim FisherDecember 10, 2014The expansive beer selection was enough to get us in the door, but the food was underwhelming. They were very busy, so I'll give them a pass, but they brought me the wrong dish and forgot our salads.
Nice home-y feeling and huge portions. Make sure you get a box to go, because you'll def need it
Anna FloresJune 28, 2014Everyone here is so nice and helpful. Ask for a beer or wine recommendation!
Chloe Cole 👑July 8, 2012Great service. Giant portions! Entrees come with free cheesy bread and ice cream!
Sara RichterNovember 30, 2013Amazing!! But it feeds 10 people so either split or come with an appetitie
This place is the bomb! Huge servings, good prices! This is definitely the family dinner spot.
James CruzApril 26, 2013Its quiet tough to find good Italian food. Hope we find some real great cuisine here.
- Farah BaileyMay 7, 2011Come on a Friday night to see magic Joe! He was amazing, made my daughter, my husband and I all laugh!
Nichole KinnamonDecember 6, 2010The Chicken Alfredo is always delicious and the ravioli is great too!! Fantastic service ALWAYS.
Andy WiseNovember 12, 2010Large vegetarian pizza is $15.99 with several toppings. Great price and great taste!
Manny MorenoSeptember 22, 2012The chicken Marsala's sauce was heavy on the red wine so some liked, I didn't. Only bad part was the 6 times they asked to box our stuff while we were actively eating.
Adam WhiteSeptember 19, 2013Expect service to be slower than the kitchen, but pretty respectable pizza and an extensive beer list.
Brittany PipkinDecember 10, 2010Great service and food. Authentic Italian and affordable. Bon Apetite!
Van DamOctober 3, 2016Really wanted to like this place...Italian? Yes. Authentic? Oh, hell no. I would rather eat Costco Frozen Lasagna than to waste money here.
The special they have for free app or dessert is dine in only, even though it is not posted anywhere. :(
