Margarita pizza: So good, the marina sauce was rich, flavorful and light on the pizza. Cheese was light and gooey to the touch. The crust didn't fall down. Calamari: Breading was crispy and light in batter. Calamari was more bouncy than soft. Tip: If you want to dine indoors around 5-6 PM there is option to sign yourself up on the yelp waitlist on your phone before arriving here. However wait time to get seated took about 10 mins tops. I think if you want to sit in the outdoor patio you might need to call in for a reservation.

The food was good and easily shareable. I thought the portions sizes were fair as well. The arugula smoked salmon salad was lovely and a great shareable dish. The funghi pizza was also yummy but I wish the crust was a tad more crunchy. The lemon butter shrimp was probably my favorite thing since it was the most favorable. The calamari was standard~ The free bread the beginning was piping hot and great! Just fyi... The bathroom doesn't have a changing table or any surface to change babies.

The starter bread was a nice touch, especially with the roasted garlic spread and it added a great twist compared to the typical olive oil and vinaigrette combo. The seafood pasta looked great I'd consider coming back to try it if I'm in the area again. Service is an area they really need to improve. I personally saw people leave because the servers weren't attentive, and it felt like only one out of the three was actually hustling and taking care of all the tables.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our server even let us sample a wine before choosing, which was such a nice touch. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up ordering a bottle. There were eight of us in our party, and despite the larger group, the service was excellent throughout our entire meal. As we were leaving, the manager/owner came by personally to greet us. She was so pleasant and wonderful, and shared so much about the restaurant and its story. It was truly lovely to see a mom-and-pop restaurant still thriving and providing such a personal experience. Another nice touch is that every meal comes with your choice of salad or soup.

The live music was a nice touch that I didn't know they had. Anyways they have a pretty sizable menu of both food and drinks. I had the lobster ravioli but someone in the group ordered a meatball sub and that looked really tasty. We ordered appetizers and everyone their own dinner, a variety of things. My dish was good it as rich and a hearty serving. It was good but didn't knock my socks off. Others in my group were blown away and raved about their dishes so that's good. Plenty of parking, great friendly service and good food. This place was full and consistently seating people all night seems like the spot of cypress.

Ordered a glass of wine along with their mushroom ravioli and pappardelle pasta. Both dishes were pretty hefty portions and delicious. I even used some of the bread to wipe some of the red sauce off the ravioli plate. Would definitely come back. Just be sure to make an rsvp (through the phone) so you're not waiting.

They have a variety of different pastas on the menu, but me and my husband's go to's are the uni pasta and the mentai cream pasta. If you're a spicy food lover like me, do yourself a favor and drizzle on some of the chili oil that they have on the table. Each pasta also comes with bread and a side salad, which is a nice touch as well. I've always come here for weekend dinners and the wait hasn't been more than 10 minutes. Service is friendly and attentive. It is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking.

Each table has a chili oil that I strongly recommend you add, especially to the uni pasta as I found it heavily under-seasoned. All the noodles were al dente, and the dishes were served with bread and a small house salad. Our waiter did the best he could, but for some reason, the weekday we chose was a pretty busy day with a crowd outside the door. My biggest qualm with my experience was the portion size and the seasoning. Our party was still a bit hungry (or, at least I was) after the meal, and we found each dish to be a bit flat,, though the chili oil helped with that. Looking forward to my next visit, and will definitely order something different.

I had my usual: the cheese bread, calamari, and uni pasta. The cheese bread and calamari were still as amazing as they've always been. For the uni pasta, though, I actually prefer the old recipe over the newer squid ink version. My daughter and her boyfriend tried the spicy miso carbonara and, I think, the seafood mafaldine. They seemed to really enjoy both. Service was great, and there was also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Still a solid spot, especially for the cheese bread and calamari!

The parking lot was full but I was told to let my collegaues know that they can park in the medical building across the street since it was after 5 pm. Everything was good and delicious. We got the market fig, corn pasta, branzino, steak, meatball and salad. It was really sweet that the kitchen made a gluten-free salad for one of our team mate who could only eat gluten free. I defintely want to come back for their brunch menu.

We were seated quickly and ordered a bottle of wine. I wish it were possible to taste the wine before buying, there were a couple I had not had before and they looked amazing, but I'm not gambling 100 bucks on a wine I haven't tried. The wine we ordered was fine, not incredible but not horrible. We also ordered the bread, meatballs, and ribeye. The bread was the dish that stood out the most. It was great. The other dishes were fine. Not worth the money to me. The entire experience lacked soul. From service to food, just kind of fine. Our dishes came out on top of each other, we should have asked them to course them. So this experience was definitely not worth it, which is a shame. I was left feeling like this is a place that does not have exceptional food but does have very high prices and maybe that's to vet clientele ;)

The space is small; its max capacity for the space used was 40 persons. 4 tables, 10 persons per table and with the appetizer and cake set up, it felt a little cramped for 40 persons to mingle. In typical Italian restaurant setting, the ambience is low light and moody. Appetizer hour: 1. Coconut chicken 2. Calamari 3. Assortment of cheese, crackers and fruit 4. Artichoke spread with toasty bread (my fav of the night) The two servers that catered our party were fantastic; I wish I caught their names. Dinner: 1. Seafood pasta 2. Tucson chicken pasta 3. Chicken Marsala 4. Filet mignon 5. Chilean sea bass 6. Mashed potatoes 7. Sautéed squash 8. House salad The Chilean sea bass is to die for! So flaky, so light but flavorful. Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait to take my husband for a date night. The live music is a plus! Please note: parking can be rough if you don't valet. Valet is $12. There's a shared lot with Kobe Steakhouse and there's a parking attendant there that will have your car towed if you're caught. But there's ample parking across the street in the commercial building lot. Just a little extra steps but totally worth it.

We especially loved the spaghetti and the short ribs, both were fantastic and dishes we can't rave about enough.

She was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal, offering great suggestions and making us feel genuinely taken care of. At a time when it can sometimes be difficult to find both great food and truly great service, Maggie made our experience feel special and absolutely worth the trip.
