00 worth of pizza looks like from this place. I found this place on Doordash with good reviews so I thought I would give it a shot. Okay, kinda pricey but good food is usually worth it. But 3 basil leaves, floppy crust and 4 slices of red peppers isn't going to cut it. They need to quality control check their food before it leaves their kitchen. Just because I ordered to-go doesn't mean I deserve sub quality food that never would have been served to a person eating in. The food arrived ice cold and I am attempting to resuscitate two sad pizzas. Not a good experience.

I had cioppino. The broth was more of a tomato paste, and there was very little seafood in the bowl (mainly squid). Disappointing. Servers continually bumped the table and my chair. I think they are trying to serve too many people, so quality is suffering.

I have patiently waited to go to this place for so long that I ended up with three reservations at the same time to ensure one of them would work with my family. Finally got to go on Friday, March 11 and I have to say it was worth the wait. Every dish was specTacular but the pizza was like nothing I've ever tasted. The attention to detail, the ambience and the food is all evidence that Thad knows what he's doing. Whenever I go back it won't be soon enough

The food was excellent but the staff were very weird. We wanted to sit next to each other and indicated this request to the front staff. We were seated along the back wall and was told that we could sit next to each other at a small table. I had at that time asked if we could sit at the corner table which had a seating arrangement for four people but was told that it was possibly reserved. So, we sat at the table for two along the wall as initially seated. We attempted to move the table in a horizontal fashion for better table space as this is what is usually done when sitting side-by-side. However, a random employee who did not seat us came over and told us that we could not move the table due to the limited space between tables and proceeded to offer us a table in the middle of the restaurant, where we could sit next to each other. Later, we noticed that there were two people sitting in the corner table (seating arrangement for four people) that I had previous inquired about. The two people that got seated there came in after us and were sitting at another table for 15 minutes before they gave them that corner table (but we had a reservation well ahead of time). I find this practice quite unprofessional and frankly extremely disrespectful. Additionally, there was a large party in the covered outdoor seating area. One of the individuals of the group was sitting in a chair that was blocking the entranceway and of course he told them nothing. This is a gross and frank violation of fire code, putting everyone's lives at risk in an already small restaurant.I cannot say that we will return at this point, given this was our first time here, and first impressions are everything.

Delightful wine and delicious meal. As many others have noted, the focaccia and pesto was a wonderful way to start off. One family member had the special (sole with lemon caper sauce and veggies), 2 of us had the Healthy Salmon pasta (I had it as it comes, with the lemon infused pasta, bro in law had it with penne), another had the 50/50 pasta, and the last of us had the Shrimp Ravioli. All of us left very happy! Definitely recommend!

He was rude with a real bad attitude. We had to wait for almost 20 minutes before he even came over to take our drink order. He seemed he was annoyed and always in a hurry and then he would disappear for a long time. Every time we needed something we had to ask the hostess to go find him and have him come over to our table. He did not ask us if we need a refill with our drinks or if we needed anything nor suggested a dessert option. It was supposed to be a fun night out with friends but he ruined the experience. I probably would be back but if he is our waiter again I would ask for somebody else

Their green sauce seems pesto but is not, I enjoyed it so much that forgot to ask about the ingredients. I was thinking of eating beef carpaccio or a home made lasagna but ended up super happy with my choice of Fettuccini limone. Very creamy and the freshness of the arugula and cherry tomatoes sealed the deal for me. Bountiful portion for one person. Nice atmosphere and staff is friendly.

Food was good but our Valentine's Day dinner was badly affected by a greedy, bad-mannered waiter. We are two college students who went out for the holiday and my boyfriend was treating me. We don't have a lot of money because we are so young and just starting out. Our waiter, a man probably in his mid 50s-60s wearing glasses had barely any personality with us and whenever we ordered he just acted like we were bothering him, while we were being super polite and positive especially because we were so happy to be going out together for Valentine's day. He did not bring us any sort of drink menu and said that we could verbally tell him what we wanted. He asked if I wanted white wine and I asked for their basic Pinot. He upsold us and brought me their most expensive glass, which we didn't realize until we got the check!! For food, I asked to sub something and he pushed back before i kindly asked him to make the sub anyway. On top of this, he barely checked up on our table...the frickin bus boy came and checked on us more and we even had to have him get our waiter at one point for our check because our waiter was gone for so long. They didn't appear to be short staffed either because people sitting around us seemed to have kind, caring waiters and were in and out much faster than us. Guess we just got bad luck but it has derailed me from ever wanting to go back in case we get that bland, scheme-y guy again. And the fact he took advantage of us because we are young and it was VALENTINE's DAY is just so disappointing.

Absolutely LOVED it!! It's a darling little gem tucked along PCH and oh so delish!! They offer fantastic service, a great variety of food (pasta, pizza, meat and fish etc) and delicious wine! My husband and I tried the Meatball and mozzarella pizza, which was really fresh and tasty. We had the Golden beet salad, the Octopus appetizer and I had the lamb chops. I love lamb chops and this was by far, thee best I've ever tasted! The salad and appetizer were both amazing! I would order it all again and again!! I can't wait to return and try some other items on the menu...I feel a girl's night coming on! Highly recommend!!!!!

Restaurant gave wrong order to Uber Eats driver, $75.00 worth of food that I'm sure is on its way to somebody who didn't pay for it. When I called the restaurant, person on the phone offered no solution and told me to call Uber Eats. I asked for a manager and was told none was available. It was the restaurants error, should've checked that they were giving the right food to the right person. Very disappointed.
