I love coming here for their truffle dishes since I’m a truffle lover. They offer truffle menu and price wasn’t bad at all. Located in Laguna Beach, now they also opened the location in Irvine, Quail Hill. Both locations have outdoor patio which also dogs friendly restaurant that we love taking our fur baby with us. Staffs are nice, cozy ambiance, good food. We usually make rsvp anywhere we go. They do take walk in. There are plenty parking in Irvine location. As for Laguna Beach it’s just a little harder in the weekend but still can find one.

Best Italian in OC. Everything is fresh. Owner is involved and visits the tables. He brought us a complimentary appetizer. Pasta was perfect, appetizers were great. Ingredients were fresh. This was my 3rd time and every experience has been very good.

This place was amazing. Chef Eric and his staff were welcoming and warm from the second we walked in until we left. We purchased the chefs pairings and were wowed more by each course. Going back is not even a question, we plan to take the rest of the family. They made you feel well welcomed and like family. The food was the icing on the cake.

Solid Northern Italian in Laguna Canyon — the cacio e pepe is simple and executed well, and the veal Milanesa is a standout. This is the kind of place that doesn’t try to be everything, and that restraint shows up on the plate. I’ve used it for buyer lunches when clients are touring properties in Laguna proper — it’s relaxed enough for a mid-day meal but still feels considered. Worth noting the space is on the smaller side, so noise can build on a busy night. Reservations strongly recommended on weekends.

The best Italian restaurant in the USA! I used to live in Italy for 3 years and I know what is the real italian food. All the staff speaks Italian, including the Italian chef.
