We took a party of 12 for a birthday dinner and I was very disappointed in the service, it could of been a lot better and waited 50 minutes for our food. To make things worst the owner of this establishment is Very Rude and unkind,she made us feel we were doing her a favor by eating here:-/ It’s just a shame!!! Never eating at this establishment again!!!!!!

This is a nice family owned Italian restaurant back in the corner of a small strip mall. It usually has a lot of people when we come for dinner, but we were seated quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful. We have been coming here for many years and usually get the chicken marsala. We like that they put the marsala sauce on the fettuccine that comes with it. It comes with a nice salad with cheese, olives and tomatoes. The chicken is tender and has lots of mushrooms. Their garlic bread is awesome and very popular. I like eating it with my salad with the balsamic dressing. I took off one star for tonight because we never got any garlic bread until after we got our main dish and I found the marsala sauce to be extra salty and watery tonight. My husband said it was fine for him. I am sure it will be great next time we come.

The owners and their staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The food is great and the service is top notch.

Stopped by this awesome homey restaurant in a huge car rest stop near Exit 34 of CA-60 E Pomona Freeway and IT WAS FANTASTIC.I got a full rest & refueled myself with yummy Italian dishes, while my car was parked in a tree shaded spot - which there are many!This place serves really nice Italian cuisine with European pub vibes & atmosphere inside (I LOVE THIS FEELING SINCE WALKING IN OMG) Lovely music, partitioned seatings, dim lighting, great food smell, wine shelf, vintage restroom, etc..Here are the cheat sheet if you are blank of what to order:✦ startercheesy garlic bread: perfect seasoning, crispy thin crust✦ mainlow cal salmon: juicy & tender salmon with nicely grilled veggieschicken masala: my favorite pasta OMGlasagna: soft & properly cooked & cheesy✦ side (comes with main)Julie's wedding soup: delicious soup with a lot of ingredientssalad (ranch, Italian dressing): fresh mix of your favorites✦ drinkItalian soda: carbonated & creamy - very yummmThe staff here are all really nice and made me feel at home. This is a very impressive & unique feeling to experience at a restaurant.. I'm sure you'll be blessed with food and love here!!

Hostess staff are awful. Don’t expect to be greeted when you arrive and do expect to wait a long time to be seated. I just wish they could at least show they appreciate your business or even say thank you. I even said thank you to the hostess and didn’t get a “your welcome” or any response back. It doesn’t take much to be a decent human being and be nice to your customers. I think their awards for “best Italian restaurant” has gotten to their head.

Just walked in and wanted to place an order as I have before for the following day. The girl at the front desk said she was new and asked another girl. She said she couldn't do it as I needed to call it in that day. I explained I did it before. I informed her I knew what I wanted and would pay for it now. She said, " No. We cannot do that. " If you're looking for customer service you might want to reconsider.

This one was tough to give a rating. The sauce for the spaghetti is awesome. The Alfredo sauce is a bit bland.The chef cooked my salmon almost spot-on.There is a seafood plate in marinara that was also VERY good in flavor from the sauce but the mussels and class were over cooked or not fresh. The calamari in itwas good and not over cooked.I think this restaurant have 'the bomb' homemade sauce. I didn't feel the urge to add salt or parmasan to the red saused as the flavors were very good. Alfredo needed something.Noodles seems well cooked, slightly al dente..I feel if garnish were better for the initial presentation, I would make a big difference.Have tried the pizza yet. That will be my next visit.

We love the food here. This was the first time for pizza. It was very good and ready when I got there

The lasagna, baked ziti W/sausage were good although both dishes needed a little more meat in them. The papa calzone buffalo chicken was excellent. The stuffed mushrooms appetizer was good but a rip off. They give you 5 and they're about the size of a quarter for $6.99. For that price there should've been a dozen. The fagioli soup was excellent and the wedding soup lacked enough meat in it. Main dishes start at $11.99 & up. Bottomless sodas $3.50 per glass. Appetizers are good but ask server about portion size before ordering. They're pricey. The bread was excellent they bring it out first and if you want more with the meal they charge you $1.00 extra, so have them bring the bread with the meal if you don't want the extra charge. That's kinda a rip off as well. Service was good and friendly, overall experience was great. A good date night place to go.

The food was amazing! The service was also amazing! Our server Elias was helpful and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. I left here feeling fulfilled. I tried the penne primavera, my husband had the baked ziti, we also tried the pepperoni pizza. For dessert we had the tiramisu. The food was full of flavor and kept me coming back for another bite even after I started getting full! I can’t believe we lived around the corner from this place for around three years before actually finding it! This is a hidden gem. I highly recommend eating here.
