It's great Italian food. There's also Heroes right in SOCO also. That one is great for a drink or some burgers. They have a huge menu. There is a Mexican Restaurant located in this area too. I haven't been able to try that one out. It is on my to-try list though!! Great little area. It offers some additional parking too. The parking does fill up fast. Nice area to walk around and check out. The coffee spot looks cool here too. Relatively quiet area in downtown Fullerton!

We loved being able to get a combo of the sausage and meatball mozzarella appetizer to try both. The mix of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta paired nicely with the meats. The Rosa pasta was creamy and flavorful, though the pasta was slightly overcooked for our preference. The Pasta Gianni had a well-balanced oil-based sauce, and the shrimp and mushrooms added great flavor. Generous portions, great service, and plenty of menu options. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

It's very intimate, great for a date 2. The menu has a little of everything. 3. The staff is knowledgeable and can tell you what they recommend as in if anything you usually gets changes from ingredients to how it's made. 4. They got a killer offer on week days. **Tuesdays: Half off pasta on the second order! Look try this place out. Impress your partner. Pro move: leave your card with the server without them knowing so the bill is paid before they try to fight you to pay the bill.

I wish there were more Asian food options. My hubby ordered from the bbq place upstairs called Encultura. His burger and fries were $30, however, it is Wagyu beef and it had brisket it in. It was absolutely delicious! 5/5! I ordered a fish and chips from Chippy. It was reasonably priced, but lots of grease was on my plate. I give it a 3/5. I also ordered a Michelada from The Iron Press. They used their own pickled beer. I know that sounds disgusting but surprisingly it was so good! It is definitely a must try if you like Micheladas! 5/5! We came on Father's Day and they were playing live music and it wasn't too busy which was nice. But we drove an hour and a half to come here and I don't think the food options offered was worth the hour and a half drive.

It also came with a side of mayo and mustard. The service is great (friendly, checked in on us, so genuine). This was our first visit.

The good: calamari, the free ciabatta, cheese toast, French onion soup, the homemade like pasta noodles and the chicken Marsala. The bad: the clam chowder was overwhelmingly cheese flavored. Never had it that way before. The fettuccine was more cream than cheese. The cacio de pepe was pepe above all and every other flavor. None of us finished our plates. Dessert saved the night from mostly horrible flavors. Tiramisu, cheesecake and crème brûlée were delicious. I'm going to assume the chef was not working last night and back-up chef is still on a learning curve. Disappointing for the price tag. Ambiance is cute but typical Italian bistro with a full bar. And parking is miserably terrible in old town but that's normal for this area. Try if you're inclined, but maybe don't go for the pasta.

Every university has its quirky superstitions…read more The Fallen David, located east of Pollak Library and north of the Education classroom building, is a broken marble copy of Michelangelo's David which was destroyed during an '87 quake and given to the university by Forest Lawn cemetery. The artistic message in placing it on campus seems to be that everything is impermanent. Each piece is supposedly strategically placed with his groin facing down, rear-end up in the air. Supposedly there's a local superstition that students receive good luck on tests rubbing a butt piece clockwise or counterclockwise, but truthfully I think the only people spreading this notion are campus tour guides. Still it's funny walking by on your way to class and see some hipsters having a drum circle or reading while sitting on that supposedly lucky piece.

It is beyond me why such a nice statue has not been repaired as of yet. And as for the students…read more"rubbing its butt" for good luck on their exams, they could certainly continue to do so if the statue was to be properly repaired, so what's the problem? In fact, if this statue does possess such a power, then certainly it would very much appreciate being repaired and thus give you even better results on your exams as a way of thanking you for fixing it up. So come on you guys. Fix that statue and make your campus look its best!

I love the city of Fullerton!…read more I'm a new resident here. Prior to that, I would always go to downtown Fullerton for the fun festivities! Downtown Fullerton offers lots of eateries, shopping and things to do. It seems like there is a strong sense of community here. Most people seem nice and friendly. Sure, there are some that aren't. You will find that anywhere though. The parking situation is a nightmare at downtown. You can never find parking. I have noticed many of the roads and sidewalks need to be repaired. It seems like the city is older and could be maintained better. I do like the splashes of architecture you will find throughout Fullerton. It's a pretty city.

Hey, I just went through an inspection for the third time with a city inspector, and honestly, it's…read morebeen a frustrating experience. It's really disheartening to see such poor professionalism and lack of knowledge from these guys. The inspector failed me the first time because he claimed he didn't see proof of the sheathing inspection for my roof, even though everything is available online. It just doesn't make any sense. I had to go in person to try and clear things up, but instead, they just rescheduled the inspection again. Then the inspector showed up a week later. Luckily, I got there before he left because he was already preparing a note saying I failed the inspection again. I caught him on it and questioned him, and to make a long story short, he kept trying to fail me without any valid reason. In the end, he had no choice but to sign off and pass the inspection. The inspector's name is Noah, and he's the supervisor. I'm not sure what his problem was, but as a supervisor, he definitely needs more training and professionalism. It's disappointing and honestly a waste of time dealing with this kind of behavior when I'm just trying to get things done right.

The best chance of finding parking is parking in the far back and walking towards the restaurant. It'll be crowded even on a random Wednesday night. It always takes a while to be seated, even with reservations. But the service we've gotten from our servers have always been good. We always go for the mizithra pasta here as it's the only Italian place we know that makes this dish. The garlic cheese bread & spumoni ice cream are also a MUST. You can't find spumoni ice cream anywhere else this good, at least in OC. Also, the creamy pesto dressing for the salad. So good.
