    This is a Real Deal Italian restaurant! When the new building is finished in February, you will need to share with friends and family this north county Gem! It is awesome.

    Great food at a reasonable price. The Buffett was fresh and hot, my wife ordered from the menu Excellent food and service. I was trained on excellent New York Italian food, find this right up there.

    Ask for extra roasted garlic on the side, it's amazing! All delicious food! Try the chicken picatta.

    NOT impressed. Only reason we ate here is because it was just a few miles from a hotel we were staying in. You want good Italian? Just drive to PB in San Diego to a hidden gem called Enoteca Adriano.

    Food was expensive but not great. Avoid the chicken parm- first time I didn't like this dish in my life. Red sauce & Alfredo do not mix well! Yuck.
