Always a reliable choice when we're in the area. Unique, historic location and a great value for a full course meal.

A classic Italian restaurant located near the Fullerton train station that serves excellent food in more-than-adequate portions. As the name suggests, the pasta dishes are especially good.

Good food. Definition of side salad is a plate of lettuce with dressing. You can pay $1.50 more for Caesar version with tomatoes and cheese.

The gluten free pasta is made with white rice, and was really good with mizithra and brown butter!

You get a drink, salad or soup, entree, & dessert! I always get the Manager's Favorite where you can combine two sauces. I love the meat sauce & mizithra cheese. The broccoli & mizithra is also great

All time favorite. If you love Ranch TRY the Pesto salad Dressing! Also, you have to get the spumoni, none of this Vanilla at OSF!!!

I've been coming here since I was young so for me it's comfort food! I still order the marinara sauce it is classic! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Diddilini Pasta with Browned Butter & Mizithra is the reason I smile! Also, the baked chicken is pretty good with the size of pasta. I eat half of my food and take the rest home for the next day. Heat

Apparently the iced tea is no longer included with the meal, which is not that big of a deal, but since it was basically mild flavored tea water, I'll gladly reserve my buck next time I'm there.

Great for small kids to watch the trains come in. Also lots of room for larger parties.
Christina CastroNovember 27, 2016
Soup or salad, non alcoholic beverage, entreé & dessert is a great deal

You can ask to have your dish made gluten free

Get a Hearty portion and split. They're very generous portion sizes. Also, the Broccoli with Mizithra is a yummy way to add greens!
