Shrimp Scampi - Dinner size portion.
Nancy S.

I had lunch here today with a few friends and we had a great meal. I have had lunch here many times and it has always been consistently good. I admit I'm a creature of habit and I always get the Chicken Parmesan which comes with a side of spaghetti and a house salad with bread sticks. On Wednesday, they have a special that seniors get a half price meal. I always get the dinner size portion which has two chicken cutlets and I bring one home for my husband. Can't beat that...I get lunch and don't have to cook dinner that evening for him! The salad is nothing special but it is nice that it is included in the meal. If you prefer, you can get soup instead.

Sauteed Chicken Tikka (White Meat) Chicken Vindaloo (Spicy) Plain Naan Garlic Naan Sm Extra Basmati Rice (8oz) Veggies Samosa (2)
Emily E.

First time here. We came because we heard so many good things about the Indian food. Well it did not disappoint! I wanted to take photos of everything, but scarfed down most of it before I remembered. The veggie samosas were 10/10 you could swim in the sauces it comes with! We also ordered the chicken vindaloo, sautéed chicken tikka, rice, and naan! We were in heaven, everything was cooked to perfection. Beautiful, clean restaurant. The staff was very kind, and service was fast. We will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu. :) happy customer right here!

Limoncello drop
Caroleann B.

The restaurant recently opened and for our first visit here we and along with us were our grandkiddos. The parking lot is a little confusing and is shared with the Inn next door. There are signs that clearly state that this area is for the Inn only although it's at the side of the restaurant. Just be aware where you park. The exterior building is very nice. It has a nice ramp for those that need it. I like that the entrance is bright and has an open concept. You are not cramped as you enter. There is a nice long bench seating, maybe used as a waiting area. They have beautiful and colorful murals within the restaurant. As we were waiting for our food I noticed they also had a quaint back patio seating option that also had a nice glass fire pit. For our Antipasti: Create your own La Cucina Trattoria Samplers -Calamari -Fried Mozzarella -Toasted Cheese Ravioli We also got to try the fried Zucchini because of an order mix up. My order was a cup of Italian wedding soup and a Caprese Salad. My husbands order was a Chicken Caesar salad. The grandkiddos wanted Cheese pizza. You do get a basket of breadsticks while waiting for your food. I ordered a Limoncello Drop, delicious! I enjoyed the appetizers, everything breaded and deep fried. I loved the caprese salad and soup as well. The presentation of the salad was perfect. The cup of soup was a touch salty. I don't know if it was the soup or it's because I have been watching my salt intake. Either way the flavor was great and the little meatballs in the soup were quite tasty and so cute. Our dessert picks were the Tiramasu Cake and Dark Chocolate Lava Cake. They have couple of Gluten Free options too, Italian Cheesecake and CheeseBerry Tart. The service was very, very friendly. The interior decor is inviting and the bar area is beautiful with the liquor displayed nicely against a mirrored background. I would definitely like to return and try some other fave Italian dishes and some of their other specialty drinks. If you're in the area give them a try.

Gluten free penne pasta with shrimp
Victoria R.

New Italian restaurant in Fallbrook! Plenty of seating inside and bar. Friendly staff as well. They have a lot of options here and decent prices. There are also gluten free options on their menu here which was great for me! Our waitress was knowledgeable about it and directed me to the gluten stuff on the menu. I got their gluten free pasta with red sauce and shrimp. It was yummy. I also got a side salad with Italian dressing. In our party of 4 our waitress forgot two entrees that never came out. It was a Saturday night so we figured they were busy but sadly it was missed. Once we asked her about it, they apologized and comped it since they had to take it to go. Overall I'd still recommend this restaurant and would come back for dinner!

We found this restaurant while driving back from the winery and craving Italian food, and we're so…read moreglad we stopped in! I always enjoy supporting local, family-owned restaurants, especially those that have that homemade, home-cooked meal feel, and this place definitely delivered. We ordered the gluten-free thin-crust pepperoni pizza and the chicken piccata with gluten-free pasta, and both were delicious. The food was flavorful without feeling heavy, which I really appreciated. The chicken piccata came with vegetables, which was something I hadn't seen before, but it was a great addition and I really enjoyed it. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were attentive throughout our meal and even adjusted the air conditioning when we mentioned it was a little cold inside. If you're looking for a local Italian restaurant with delicious food, warm service, and a cozy family-style atmosphere, this is a great choice. We'll definitely be back!

Good service. Nice…read morecold beers. Nice inside. My wife loves their stuffed mushrooms and it didn't disappoint again, she loves them! My wife & her mom always gets their Romana salad & they have good ranch dressing. The small is large enough for them to split and gives them a good portion. I got a meat sandwich, but it was more lettuce, tomato and bread with little meat so won't order a sandwich there again. I'm glad I ordered the pizza sauce that comes on the sandwich, on the side, just tasted like tomato paste. No other flavor to it. My mom-in-law likes their lasagna, but always comments she wishes it wasn't served in a bowl dish with lots of sauce around it. Recommended she ask for a plate next time and no extra sauce.

Service - 5 Ambiance - 5…read moreFood - 4.9 We were there before 6 on a Tuesday, so no problem with parking. Had a great table for our party of 7. Our waitstaff was headed by Kap & he did an excellent job. Told us to check out the happy hour menu since it was almost over, so we could get appetizers in at a reduced price. Ordered the calamari (crunchy, yet tender), bruschetta caprese (piled high with mozzarella & basil & chopped tomato), Caesar salad (crisp greens with a garlicky Caesar dressing), meatballs (2 large in a marinara sauce - so tender). They also have sliced warm bread on the table with olive oil/balsamic or butter. The drinks were perfect - nice and chilled and crafted perfectly. Kap also made a great recommendation on a bottle of wine. The menu has changed though. Some of our favorites have disappeared... (seafood risotto), so tried other dishes. Carbonara is so rich & creamy. The pizza margharita was cooked perfectly with a nice crust, but was a little lackluster in taste (not enough cheese maybe?). I did order a side of pesto to add some flavor. The lobster ravioli is always great here, so 2 people ordered it. Added chicken to the vodka penne (grandson's plate was completely emptied). Also had a fettuccini Montanara. Everyone but the grandson had leftovers to take home, so servings more than adequate. Kap really made the dinner perfect. Attentive without being over-bearing & making great recommendations throughout. Will definitely be back.

The…read morelocation and ambiance are honestly what make it special, peaceful views, lush gardens, and a relaxed outdoor setting. The patio overlooks the water and greenery, which makes brunch or lunch feel extra calm. I definitely recommend calling ahead or booking through OpenTable since hours and days can vary with private events, and reservations help. The menu has something for everyone, from brunch favorites to fresh California-style dishes like fish tacos, paninis, burgers, and such. I like to try something new when I dine and I've enjoyed everything I've ordered. One of the best parts is taking time to walk the property after you eat. The estate grounds and gardens are beautiful and really add to the whole entire experience.

We were able to get a reservation for 9 but had 2 separate round tables next to each other. The view was amazing over looking the lake across the veranda patio. The service was excellent. It was a long wait but when you're spending time with family and friends and catching up, it doesn't feel that long. Food were big portions for each entrée and the price was reasonable. I had the smokehouse burger and like to get it medium. I got it with the house salad with balsamic vinaigrette and it was delicious. My fiancé had the prime rib sandwich dip and sweet potato fries that were also tasty. Overall it was a pleasant experience.
