The pasta and sauces were sooo good. They were just right, they didn't make me feel all nasty after the fact, like some pastas do. The place was also nice! It wasn't busy so there was a good amount of open tables. I would definitely recommend dining in if you can help it. This is a MUST TRY and I will be going again!!

I hate to give bad reviews, but I needed to update my previous review of this place. It's been a…read morewhile since I came back from the first time I came here, and I don't know if I'll be coming back. I placed a DoorDash order for ASAP pickup of a 16" pizza. Placed the order at 4:35 pm with an ETA of 15-20 minutes. The app said it should be ready before 5 pm. Keep in mind, I intentionally placed the order early so that my 2 year old would have food at her normal dinner time. When I entered the restaurant, there were a few customers who didn't know what's going on. Neither did I. There wasn't anyone at the cashier's area. I had to flag the lady down to ask about my order. This was around 4:50 ish, so I don't mind waiting 10 minutes for my pizza. However, at 5, they didn't even start making my pizza, let alone put it in the oven. It's not until 5:21 pm that the pizza finally made its way out of the oven. It was disappointingly slow. Good news, though, I was able to write this review while I waited for my pizza and I finally got out of there by 5:23 pm. Also, one more thing to note, it felt like they were definitely short staffed and the person who was taking the orders at the front was also the person who was making the pizza. However, I noticed that she didn't use any gloves when making the pizza after transitioning from taking orders nor did I see her wash her hands. Just for that reason alone I don't know if I'd be coming back or would I recommend this place.

I was craving lasagna, so a quick Yelp search led me here. The moment I walked in, the restaurant…read moregave off an upscale vibe--maybe it was the tablecloths, the wine racks, or the waitstaff in uniform, but it immediately felt like a nice place to settle in. It was a late night, so we didn't want to eat too much. We asked to split the lasagna, and it ended up being the perfect portion for two. The lasagna itself was meaty, rich, and really satisfying. We also ordered the garlic cheese bread. It wasn't as crunchy as we had hoped at first, but the staff was more than happy to remake it for us, which we really appreciated. It definitely tasted better after. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with good food and attentive service. We'll definitely be back.

Yoooooooooooooooo! This spot is modestly fire I probably order takeout from here like once or…read moretwice a month whenever I'm craving that old school Italian comfort food type vibe. I'm not gonna lie though... it is kinda pricey for pasta but the recipes really remind me of grandma cooking -- super traditional, hearty, old-school Italian style. Nothing wrong with that at all, it's just personally I'm more of a pink sauce, creamy vodka sauce kinda guy these days Usually my go-to order is the Chef's Special rigatoni with sausage and mushrooms in that porcini sauce That dish never really misses for me. I also ALWAYS gotta get the breaded lamb chops with the peppercorn sauce because those are honestly one of the best things on the menu in my opinion. Crispy outside, juicy inside, sauce goes crazy This time though I decided to switch it up and tried the Linguine Sarno. It was good overall, seafood was solid, pasta cooked right, but I honestly wish it had more spice to it I kept waiting for a little kick that never fully came. Still decent though if you like lighter seafood pasta flavors. Also quick warning about the calamari because I learned the hard way last time make sure you finish it the SAME day. Once it sits overnight it turns super hard and chewy. Even tossing it in the air fryer the next day couldn't save it lol. One thing I will say is the service can be a little slower than expected sometimes. I usually call my order in like an hour ahead before getting off work, and this time when I got there it still wasn't ready yet But to be fair, the staff has always been really friendly, professional, and respectful every time I come through, so it kinda balances out. Ambiance is pretty much your standard quiet Italian restaurant vibes Nothing super modern or trendy, no loud music, just calm, chill, old-school dinner atmosphere where everybody's just there to eat good pasta and mind their business Overall still a solid comfort food spot when you're in the mood for classic Italian flavors

Sister Sicily in Yorba Linda was such a great find. We were starving after drinks with friends and…read moreneeded something nearby--Yelp came through, and we decided to give it a shot. First time here, not knowing what to expect. The space is cute and cozy, and the team was super friendly and patient while we figured out what to order. We went with the creamy pesto chicken pasta (penne), the alla vodka with chicken, and a calzone with pepperoni and artichoke. What we should have asked about? Portion sizes. When the food came out, our eyes basically popped out--these plates are HUGE. Not complaining though... we're big leftover people, and this place absolutely delivered. We got multiple meals out of it, and everything held up just as well the next day. Oh--and we got the tiramisu for dessert ;P Definitely the right call. Safe to say, we've already been recommending Sister Sicily to family. Great food, generous portions, and a spot we'll definitely be back to.

The service was very attentive and da guy working wish i remembered his name was really nice about telling me what was good Ordered the 3 quesos tasted kind of like if they put three different kinds of cheeses into an empanada also got the shredded beef one... would recommended to my protein lovers! So flaky! Be careful! Man working also suggested the pork tonkatsu sandwich which was yum dot com as well... Maybe interested in trying a new protein again another hack for my protein lovers Pretty chill inside but I got my stuff to go... had to go see the Michael movie he he Overall I will be back and excited to try more of the menu soon!

There are coffee shops, and then there are places that make you want to slow down. Ake Larry is…read morefirmly the latter. Walking in, you feel it instantly -- that rare combination of cozy and intentional that so many cafés try to manufacture but so few actually achieve. The space is genuinely charming. The kind of place where you settle in, exhale, and stop thinking about whatever was on your mind five minutes ago. Whether you're coming in solo with a book or just need a quiet corner to exist for a while, Ake Larry holds that space beautifully. But the real story here is the owner. I don't throw around the phrase "best owner ever" lightly -- but this one earned it. They checked in on me personally, asked how I wanted my coffee made, and actually listened. Not in a transactional way, but in the way someone does when they genuinely care about the experience they're putting in front of you. That level of attentiveness is vanishingly rare and it transformed what could have been a standard café visit into something that actually felt personal. The coffee itself delivered on that promise. You could taste the intention behind it -- well-extracted, balanced, and made exactly to spec. No guessing, no inconsistency. Just a really good cup of coffee crafted by someone who clearly takes their craft seriously. The pastries and food rounded it all out perfectly. Nothing felt like an afterthought -- everything on the menu seemed to belong there. Ake Larry is a regular rotation spot. Full stop.

My son and I both ordered seafood pastas. He and I both ordered the clams with linguine. He got the parma rosa sauce will I got the traditional wine sauce. The meal also came with a soup or salad. Since it was a hot day, we both picked salad. One of our favorite parts of the meal was the bread. Not sure if it was on purposes but the bread basket came with both thin slices and thick slices. And don't forget the garlic infused butter. So yumm! As for parking, the restaurant is in a small strip center and only a few stores were open when we arrived so there was plenty of parking.

The bread was not heavy as typical bread seemed as if it was the flour but lighter than normal. We ordered brushetta. The topping was a fair amount but the balsamic was a bit too sweet for me. We ordered chicken piccata came with angel hair pasta and good amount of capers with a lemon wedge. The pasta and chicken complimented each other well. The sauce seemed a light lemon flavor the fresh squeezed elevated the flavor. Great dish to order. It also came with soup or salad I chose minestrone but not to my liking way too much tomato taste for My taste buds. We also had a pizza it was mozzarella and basil, tomatoes (Margarite) good pizza the crust was hand tossed. Nice place to enjoy a meal not too loud but it was Monday.

There is limited seating and they don't take reservations so expect to wait alittle.

Our family spotted this place and its stellar Yelp reviews and reeeeeally wanted to love it, but…read morethe prices were high -- even in a post-COVID world where everything is expensive -- they're charging a whopping $15 for a (meatless) dinner salad, a bowl of romaine with a forgettable house dressing. Come ON. Also, we all ordered different entrees (we're vegetarian) and all of them across the board were bland and average. Like they'd cracked a jar of Ragu, poured it over pasta, and expected us to be happy. Fun ambiance, but not enough to lure us back. Food was expensive and just meh. We don't recommend this place.

Rosa Pizza was honestly the bomb. From the first bite, it felt like I was sitting in a small…read moreneighborhood pizzeria in New York instead of here at home. The crust had that perfect New York style fold--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside--with just the right amount of sauce and melty cheese. You can tell everything is made with care, not rushed like big chain places. This is a true family-owned spot, and you feel that the moment you walk in. There's a warmth to the place that you just don't get everywhere anymore. Even after hearing that the owner went through something tragic, he's still there greeting customers from his wheelchair with a smile. That kind of dedication and heart says a lot about the people behind the food. We actually started eating before we even thought about taking pictures--that's how good it looked and smelled. By the time we remembered, half the pizza was already gone! Every slice was packed with flavor, and you can taste the quality ingredients in every bite. It's the kind of pizza that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. If you're craving real, authentic New York style pizza made by people who truly care about their customers, this is the place. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family with me next time. Rosa Pizza earned every bit of this 5/5. Highly recommended! P.S. I forgot to take picture of cheese pizza

Party of four on a Friday afternoon, around 2:45 pm…read more Parking lot is shared with other businesses, it can get really busy. Restaurant is nice and clean, very spacious and a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Good for small parties and big groups. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We ordered the King Size, so it was 3 slices per person (it was 4 of us), was delicious satisfying. We ended up ordering a medium pizza also later on, but just because we were there for a while and we eat a lot, plus some beers. Excellent spot. Definitely worth the drive! Pizza flavors were on point, with a nice crunchy crust. Loved the cheesy flavor.

The food was pretty close to the old location, but the menu was not so extensive which is not unusual for small place.

The one waitress was on her phone when we walked in and seemed kind of bothered that we were interrupting. The location is kind of small so parties of 4+ might have an issue with seating. They didn't have a sampler "TOUR" like other restaurants, and I decided to go with the Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken, Side Meatballs and side salad. This is when the restaurant started getting busy. The salad arrived was less than to be desired and there was barely any dressing. She then dropped off the Meatballs that were cold and I asked to please send them back. Needless to say I was becoming slightly agitated due to being hungry. Then my main dish ordered was not Chicken Alfredo. The other people at my table said that their dishes were amazing. I was like, ill believe it when it comes. I am happy to say that when the dish arrived it was everything that I wanted, and she brought back the meatballs that were warm and her attitude seemed to improve as things got busier and the experience finished very well. Skip the salad and go straight for the main entree and you will not lose.
