Don Michael Antonio: Awesome Italian food for Irvine a city that is great in creating the best living environment but lacks great and authentic food of any kind!The place is also hip and beautiful in decor by the way!
Priscilla @shescookin: You absolutely must try the Daily Board! A braised meat served table side atop creamy polenta.
Eric Sato: Make sure to ask for bread. Otherwise, they won't bring you any. Also, they consider the covered patio indoor seating.

Nataly Valo: They have the best ceviche, great food, great environment. Very trendy!
Tiffany Libman: Seating outside is best, especially during the summer time. Reservations are key, especially for a Saturday evening (it gets very busy). Margaritas are a must, and for apps: queso and guac!
S A: Don't miss Fillet Antigo 👌👍

Gigi: All of their pasta are freshly homemade!! Start with the truffle garlic bread👌🏼, then try out the mouth watery thin crust pizza and end it off with the tiramisu🙈💗.
S: The truffle bread is so yummy .. All what we ordered was delicious tortellini, burger and chicken, spinach and pine pasta ❤️
Rick Larriva: Pasta was great. Only negative is that the music is so loud you have to shout to talk with your dinner partner
Kristen Adam: Sunday champagne buffet brunch... is it a bit expensive, yes. Is it worth it... you better believe it! Crab legs, cheesy tater tots, carving station, fritata, charcutery, I could go on and on.
Kristen Adam: Calamari is delicious comes with fried lemons & fennel... genius! (Not in to tomato aioli, substitute the lemon basil). Lobster bisque = yes. If you like olives, the warm olive app will make your day.
Ryan Chang: I loved the clam chowder and prime beef meatballs! However, the lobster bisque was VERY salty and made it very difficult to consume, so I don't recommend it.
Bruno: Great spot. Everything was good and we had kalbi, beef ribs, beef tongue, pork cheek and belly, brisket, shrimp, octopus, and chicken. Oh and even tripe.
Jen Ford Mirmak: Get here early. Can be long wait for table! So good!
Luigi Giordano: Everything is to die for!!!
