What a gem. Seriously, if you love pasta, go! I love to make my own but isn’t it great to taste something from someone who has mastered their skill. The staff are lovey and this place was such a lucky find. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente without having to ask for it. I loved the finishing touches for the truffle pasta which was served in a parmesan bowl. This place is great and I would definitely recommend it if you love pasta!!

Everything we ordered for dinner was excellent without an exception. Especially, I became a big fan of their spaghetti with truffle sauce. The spaghetti was served al dente, or slightly underdone, with flavorful truffle and cheese cream sauce. Their short rib bolognese ravioli was also good. What a delight to find this restaurant. We would definitely come back when we visit San Diego next!

This place was delightful! I’ve never been to Italy before but after eating here, I felt like I have. The owner of the restaurant (she’s from Italy) actually took our orders and told us stories of the origins of the different dishes that they serve. We settled on trying several different dishes and appetizers. Some pasta, ravioli, and meatballs were our main dishes and they were all wonderful. Surprisingly, the highlight of the dinner were the fried zucchini blossoms filled with cream cheese. We reluctantly ordered them but the owner insisted we give them a try. We are glad we did! Overall, a wonderful, authentic Italian experience. Not just a restaurant.
