What victuals and drink I partook of: - Meatballs (one and twenty dollars) - Torchetti (eight and twenty dollars) - Short rib (two and fifty dollars) - Nero martini (fifteen dollars) - Orange fashioned (sixteen dollars) How it did taste: - In sum, the fare was most excellent, with seasoning both ample and pleasing to the palate. The draughts likewise were most delightful. Wherefore did I bestow upon it five stars? - Though the short rib was somewhat wanting in savour, the other dishes were of surpassing excellence. The meatballs were dear in price, yet generous in portion and richly seasoned. The brightest jewel amongst the dishes was the torchetti, forsooth; I would sooner commend the house for its pastas above all else, for they were abundant and exceedingly delectable. The orange fashioned too was a merry delight unto the senses. The service was stellar despite the house being greatly occupied, and the fare arrived with commendable swiftness. What be the final judgement? - Give it a try shouldst thou find thyself in Covina. read more

Delicious cozy restaurant in Covina! Started with the charred octopus & broccolini. Delicious sauce on the octopus and perfect texture. The broccolini had the best pesto sauce as well. Spaghetti with meatballs on the side. Best spaghetti I have ever tasted in my life. Cacio W Pepe. So so good! Lobster pasta-- good. Pizza with pepperoni -- good! 4 layer chocolate cake so good with vanilla ice cream for our bday girl. Service was phenomenal. read more

If heaven had a restaurant, it would be ****Rosalie**** Drinks are 10/10, service 10/10, and the food is SENSATIONAL. I am soo happy as a local that this place has opened up in Covina. It's the best food in town. I am slowly eating my way through the menu and everytime I try something new, it becomes my favorite. Do yourself a favor and come here. You can't go wrong with anything you order. The chef is a masterful genius and the aura is relaxed, high class, and elevated. Definitely a great date night spot. I love sitting on the patio and on Sundays there is live music. I can't say it enough I love this place. read more

This place is an example of what a restaurant should be. The servers are wonderful, the food is of quality and the esthetics are cozy and warm. The food is Italian with a sprinkle of covinas latin touch. A local gem. I came here on a overcast evening nd enjoyed their speghetti and meatballs with a cider. What sets the speghetti apart from others is a smokey bacon flavor and a tiny sprinkle of spiciness. As an appetizer I ordered the charred octupus. Again, the Mexican influences shime through with the spiced marinade and zesty sauce, grilled onions and radishes. It was delicious and the serving size are decent, so had plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. I loved that the staff will pack your food to go, and make it convient for customers. I ended with a lemon ricotta cake. The waitress was passionate about the food. I almost thought she was the owner by the way she presented the menu and food options. 100% recommend. read more

I had a lovely, delicious experience at Rosalie (Covina). I ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs ($34). It's pork meatballs, amatriciana sauce, fresh pasta, and focaccia bread. DELICIOUS!!And it's A LOT of food! I arrived at Rosalie (Covina) on Sunday (around 5PM). I had used their website to make a 5PM Reservation that same day. The online process felt easy. There's also plentiful parking. Rosalie (Covina) is located near Covina City Hall, the shared parking lot is very big. Staff is professional. They commonly use the phrase "My Pleasure," but Staff felt the most forgettable of the experience. Staff moved quickly, but Staff faded from mind like the wind. My entree arrived within 11 minutes and 22 seconds. Great pace! As mentioned, I ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs ($34). I wholeheartedly recommend!! This dish felt special and thoughtfully crafted. The HUGE, dense pork meatballs were larger than baseballs, yet they're juicy, smokey, and thick. The pasta is soft and freshly made, and dish felt hearty yet fragrant. I had PLENTY of leftovers. In addition, I ordered the Foccacia starter ($14). It's DELIGHTFUL! This bread is so fluffy, and the house cultured butter is so satisfying. Regarding ambiance, Rosalie (Covina) is clean, minimalistic, and comfortable. I appreciated the romantic, slow-tempo music. There's a dining patio and a small interior. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Rosalie (Covina). The food is memorable & delicious. And I left with a bright smile. If you love fresh, quality Italian food, I happily recommend. 4.8 out of 5 read more

Oh man. Having Rosalie right in my backyard is not good for my wallet. We might end up here every couple of weeks. The food is just sublime. Come during happy hour (Mondays to Thursdays) - that's what we did. We wanted to sample their fare before fully committing. The broccolini was done so well, my son who usually hates veggies couldn't get enough of it. The focaccia is dreamy - it is soft and crusty and when you tear it, makes such a beautiful sound. They offer Parmesan butter and pickled peppers along with it. The pork meatballs were a standout (but you need bread for this to mop up all that delicious sauce). The pizza was light, airy, but held up all that cheese and pepperoni so well. Alexa provided stellar service. She didn't hover but she was always available when we needed her. And she was forthright she answering our questions. She anticipated our needs so well, coming up with a bottle of water right when we needed it. All in all, this is a welcome addition to the roster of restaurants in Covina. It's a beautifully appointed space with lots of parking, delicious Northern Italian food, and top notch service. What a gem. read more

Once people learn Rosalie is owned by the people that runs Union in Pasadena, it automatically sets the expectation of delicious fresh pasta dishes. It's a casual, relaxed and cozy interior with an energetic atmosphere. The staff moves around at a fast pace and the crowd is lively, but not noisy. There is a smaller dining room by the entrance, a larger space through a doorway and a patio area. The menu has a few similar dishes to Union, like the meatballs and torchetti (based on my memory). We ordered a few pasta dishes and the meatballs as a starter. They're big and delicious as a starter. The lumache, bucatini and torchetti were all very good in their own way. One of richer than the other with different flavor profiles, but the pasta were all Al dente, with a nice chew. They were nicely seasoned without any one ingredient overpowering the others. The only thing I'd suggest is they put red peppers or freshly ground black pepper on the table. The service we received was excellent, as she was very courteous and attentive when time allowed. Sadly I forgot her name. There a huge parking lot next to Rosalie, but when we went for a weekend dinner, it was full. If you circle around a bit, a space might open up. Though there really isn't anything else for us to do around there, Rosalie was worth the drive to get very good Italian food. Unlike Union in Pasadena, the plentiful free parking is a big plus. read more

We walked in on a Saturday and got seated right away. Service was excellent. Super attentive and clean. My husband ordered a beer. We started off with little gem. The salad was fresh and crunchy loved the pepitas. Then we had the spaghetti and meatballs and this was cooked al dente and the sauce was perfection. The meatballs was tasty. We ordered the torchetti as well and this was my favorite dish. I loved the house ricotta and pork ragu. As for dessert we got the lemon ricotta and house made vanilla ice cream. Perfect for way to end a delicious meal. We will come back. So glad we found this gem! read more

This is a running walk situation. Excellent food prepared just right. They also add in hints of flavors from other cultures. Very laid back atmosphere and great friendly servers.

Rosalie comes from the same team behind Union, and you can absolutely feel that pedigree in both the food and the care put into every detail. A few things worth noting: - Full bar, whaaat! - Ingredients are sourced from local farmers markets. Everything tastes fresh, vibrant, and seasonal. - Everything is made from scratch, which gives the menu that soulful, honest quality that's hard to fake. - The focaccia with house-cultured butter is unreal. The bread was warm, soft, and airy, but that butter stole the show. Dangerously good. - The pork meatballs were hearty, tender and flavorful. Just like what you get at Union! - The Burrata was so creamy without being heavy, and the rigatoni was perfectly cooked, holding onto the sauce just right. Ordering was easy and paced so so well. You can feel the love and passion come through in the space and the food. What a great addition to Covina! Thanks for the incredible hospitality, Marie! read more

Great experience. Phenomenal drinks (orange fashioned and pineapple shorty), great appetizer, and chicken plate was delicious. The mussels were delicious. Great flavor and spice. Kinda unfortunate only served with two small pieces of bread. Dish definitely needs more bread to eat the delicious broth. Chicken was very tasty. Sat outdoors and really enjoyed the vibe. Service was pretty good like the warning of placing entire order and they course it for you. read more

Rosalie - 02/28/26 menu - Italian Near Me - Covina, California

Service was great, ambiance was great, drinks were great! Food not so great! We had a big party, ordered almost one of everything on the menu. The lobster pasta was disgusting 4 people ate it and not one enjoyed it. The citrus burrata was the only thing I personally enjoyed. 5 people ordered the steak... it was tough and had zero flavor. Halibut was super dry, made me sad because I was so ready for it! The mushrooms were tasty but the portion was so small no way you can share it. 3 of us shared it and literally I think I got a stem. The spaghetti and meatballs were good the kids seemed happy with those. The Fric and Frac was delicious and was my favorite part of the meal/evening. I unfortunately don't think we will be back for the price we payed and the quality of the food it's definitely not worth it. read more

Let me just say... this is my new favorite restaurant in my hometown of Covina. I came across a reel of Rosalie on Instagram and immediately knew I had to try it. I've been twice now, and everything I've ordered has been spectacular. The food truly feels like a five-star experience -- authentic, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. It genuinely feels like you've been transported to Italy for the evening. The service is warm, kind, and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance is stunning. It feels like you're dining in a cozy, beautifully designed home. In the evening, they light candles at the tables, which makes it feel incredibly romantic. And the best part? It's surprisingly affordable for the quality of food and experience. So happy to have a place like this in Covina. read more

My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. We brought our litto one along and wasn't sure how Rosalie was going to do with an almost 1-year old. Glad to report back we had the best dinner we've had in the area at Rosalie! The staff members are all super nice and attentive. We strolled in just a little past happy hour, and yet they still honored the HH prices for us. They seem to have a lot of different wine options, I think we tried something new for my husband and I and we both loved it. We definitely ordered way more than we should've, but we were so tempted by all the options on the menu! We ended up getting the foccacia bread, charred octopus (must get), torchetti, and the rotolo (must get, but kidna oily). we loved all their pasta dishes and the pasta was so fresh! the foccacia bread was so soft, we probably ate enough for 2 meals!! Parking is also super easy here, honestly what a great experience and a great find in downtown Covina! read more

First time here. I want to keep this place a secret, but also gotta give these folks their flowers. I went here on Friday with an old friend to catch up after not having met for months. Ambience 4/5- Patio area was comfortable and peaceful. It was perfect for having a conversation over a meal. Indoor seating was an echo chamber, just not my preference. Service 5/5- water always filled, attentive, but not intrusive. They know their way around. No notes. Food 4.5/5- Focaccia with the giardiniera and butter is a must. Crust was light and crisp and the peppers were crisp and tangy. Strawberries on goat cheese was delicious for this season (and I hate goat cheese). Carrots with labneh and tajin 4/5 because I get what they were trying with the tajin, but I don't think the lime tang was right for that dish. Cacio e pepe 5/5. No notes. 3 starters and one pasta entree was filling for the two of us. We had to pass on dessert . Will return. read more

If you don't know Italian food, this is a good spot to eat mid Italian food. I do admit they have a great variety of pastas, but I was craving some focaccia bread and noticed the spaghetti and meatballs had some. I was looking forward to eating my pasta with a focaccia bread, and to my disdain it was 2 pieces of baguette with butter. The waiter said: "yeah... that's focaccia bread". A simple google search would've shown that it wasn't the case. Don't advertise something and give the customer something else. That's false advertisement. read more

Happy to have a restaurant of this quality in this neck of the woods! The place is elegant in its simplicity, with piped in music at a perfect volume. (I get irritated at other places where it is so loud, you can't hear yourself think.) the decor and lighting are inviting and cozy. The service and staff are attentive and warm. They pay good attention to detail. I do wish that they offer table bread as much of the items are seasoned well and can be borderline salty without bread to accompany it. That being said, the quality of the focaccia pizza are absolutely fabulous. They do the pastry side of the menu so very well. The meatballs (happy hour menu) and the steak, as I mentioned before are very well seasoned, but i would order pasta, bread, or the fingerling potatoes to help mellow the flavors a bit. I am eager to return to this place and hope to explore more of their menu. read more

What a bright addition to our community of Covina! Every single dish was truly amazing. I loved how tender that octopus was. It's almost unbelievably tender. Not chewy at all. The persimmon in burrata had skin on but you can eat it no problem. It was very sweet. Torchetti was al dente, pork ragu had so much flavor to it. You need to have the ice cream at the end. I was too full but still wanted something sweet so I shared a scoop of ice cream. And that was the best choice I made. That eggy, milky, rich ice cream. I can tell it's made with love! Every server was really attentive and friendly. Overall, the quality was amazing. If I had to say one thing, it's the price. This isn't weho. The price point might be too expensive for Covina. read more

As a big fan of Italian food, I was really excited to try this new local spot that opened up! Upon walking in, my first impression was of the great ambiance. It is a nice looking restaurant with a great vibe, much like a restaurant you would find in LA on smaller scale. They were able to accommodate us with a short wait despite not having a reservation and being quite busy! The food was spectacular! They recommend ordering family style, but the dishes aren't especially large. One dish can yield a decent size portion for 2-4 people assuming you order more than one dish. Our server shared that they recommend ordering family style because they have a small kitchen and can't guarantee that they can get all the dishes out at the same time for a table. The Spaghetti & Meatballs were my favorite, and the meatballs were very large! The Rigatoni pesto was good as well, but almost seemed to have a lemon-like undertone that I couldn't quite place. Sadly, the service was somewhat lacking. Our server hardly checked on us, and they forgot to bring the Focaccia bread that we ordered. We didn't get to bring it to their attention until the end of our meal when they came back to ask if we wanted to order dessert. They apologized for forgetting and said they were busier than anticipated. Weirdly, the prices on my bill were different than the menu prices, with some items being a few dollars cheaper and others being more expensive. Overall, I enjoyed the food, so I would still return and recommend to friends as we don't have a similar equivalent in the area. read more

Dropped in for dinner on Saturday night. Easy reservation through Resy, and glad I did because this place was packed at 7. Hughe parking lot next to the restaurant is a big plus. Was honestly surprised with this level of dining in Covina. Creative menu with a high level of execution. If you like Italian food with Latin American and some Asian flavors, Rosalie's is cooking. Highlight was probably the pasta (probably made in house), but every dish was a hit. Cocktails were unique, loved the riff on the negroni with Italian bergamot liquor, and the clever combinations for the free parking which tasted like Mexican watermelon candy with tajin and chamoy. Service was on point all night. Our main server (sorry man forgot your name) amazing, very attentive but not overbearing. Multiple staff had checked on us throughout the meal and everyone was so kind. Price point is very reasonable in this economy. This is definitely a nice dinner out, so expect to pay $50-100/per person with a drink or two each. Great experience at Rosalie, can't wait to see what they come up with next. read more

Everything was amazing. I sat at the bar and Gianina was my server and bartender. She was the best and made an excellent Nero martini. It was so good that I already want to come back and try more drinks next time. For food, I had the pork meatballs and the striped bass and everything tasted incredible. Their menu rotates with the seasons and they mentioned they adjusted the bass for fall flavors. What really blew me away was the squash that came with it and how well it complemented the fish. The fish itself was great, but the squash was so good I wanted to lick the plate clean. They source ingredients from local farmers markets, so the menu changes often, which makes me even more excited to come back once it rotates again. Service was amazing overall. Street parking was pretty easy and there are several public lots nearby. Definitely coming back. read more

Located in downtown Covina, this Italian-inspired restaurant is tucked away on Italia Street and feels like a hidden gem. Be prepared to spend--the menu is definitely on the pricier side, and with so many beautiful-looking dishes, it's easy to want to order everything. The restaurant itself is dimly lit and creates a really nice atmosphere for a date night or special celebration. However, the second time we visited, we came on a much busier night and noticed a big difference. We were seated next to a party of four, and because the tables are placed very close together and the dining room is fairly small, it became very loud. It made conversation a little difficult and felt a bit uncomfortable when trying to talk across the table. The food, however, was a completely different story. Our first visit, we ordered the King Salmon Crudo, Focaccia, Rotolo, and their pear dessert served with ice cream. The King Salmon Crudo was incredible--we loved it so much that we ordered it again on our second visit. The Focaccia was also amazing and honestly a pleasant surprise. The Rotolo, however, was a miss for us. It looks similar to a cinnamon roll but is filled with something closer to a spicy birria-style filling. We both found it too spicy and not very enjoyable. I even took the leftovers home but couldn't bring myself to finish it. On our second visit, we ordered the Rigatoni, King Salmon Crudo, Broccolini, and Lumache. The Broccolini was new to the menu and came with a delicious cilantro jalapeño pesto that made the dish stand out. The Lumache was my favorite dish of the night. I only wished there had been more than six pieces of lobster, but it was still absolutely delicious. The Rigatoni was also very good. I personally wasn't a fan of the pistachios in the dish, but my partner enjoyed it a lot. Overall, the atmosphere is best on quieter nights, and the food is definitely memorable enough to keep coming back. read more

An amazing experience celebrating my best friend's birthday. So glad that we chose to check out this brand new restaurant. Service was amazing and parking was a breeze. The space is beautiful albeit a bit chilly at night but the delicious meal and creative menu more than made up for it. We started with the brussel sprouts and loved this dish! We're so used to small, roasted portions whenever we order this elsewhere but Rosalie was generous and the dish was flavorful. It paired well with the pasta and main we ordered as well. The pasta we ordered was the torchetti that had a delicious pork ragu with ricotta. This was a super creamy delicious with a little bit of tang. It was just slightly too salty for my taste but well balanced with the brussel sprouts. Lastly we shared the Murray farms chicken which was super moist and paired with a gochujang mole that added a nice tang. This was a bit too sweet for my friend and we wish more roasted parsnips were included to balance the dish. Overall, Rosalie is generous with their portion sizes and the service was incredibly warm. They also gave a complimentary horchata ice cream dessert for my friend's birthday and just overall was an incredible experience. We'd definitely come back to try more of the menu and are excited to see this place continue to grow. read more

Where do I start?! This was our second visit. Decided to have our Valentines date local. Small intimate place. We had our reservation for 5 and were seated right away. Our server named Rosie was so amazing! We started with a drink called the Pineapple Shorty. Delicious! I never order a second round so my husband was surprised I did this time. For Appetizers we ordered the focaccia which is a must! Charred octopus! Yummy! Always a favorite of ours. Probably the best I've had anywhere. The first time we came we had the Lumache and Rotolo. They were so good it was hard not to order the same but we wanted to try other items. We wound up getting the New York Steak and Bucatini Cacio E Pepe. OMG so glad we did. Didn't fail!

Dinner at Rosalie is a fun and enjoyable experience. The dining room is modern, clean, and inviting, and the restaurant also features a welcoming patio with live music that adds energy without being so loud that it interferes with conversation. The menu is small, thoughtfully curated, and clearly driven by seasonal ingredients. We began with the focaccia, octopus, and burrata citrus salad. All three appetizers were excellent, but the standout was the focaccia--super fluffy with a perfectly crunchy top. The octopus was impressively tender and well seasoned. The burrata paired with a medley of citrus was bright and refreshing. The kitchen initially forgot to add the glacéd kumquats listed on the menu, but once we mentioned it to our waitress the oversight was immediately corrected. For our mains, we ordered the chicken and the cacio e pepe pasta. The chicken was very tender, nicely seasoned, and had beautifully grilled skin. It was served with a cilantro ají sauce reminiscent of a Peruvian ají mojo that added a vibrant layer of flavor. The cacio e pepe pasta was cooked nicely al dente; however, it was served with more sauce than is typical for the classic Italian preparation. Dessert was a mixed experience. The chocolate cinnamon roll is enormous and comes bathed in Mexican chocolate sauce. While the roll itself was delicious, the sauce needs some refinement--the sugar had not fully dissolved and left a noticeable grainy texture. The budino was unfortunately less successful. It arrived with a ganache quenelle on top that was dense and greasy rather than light and creamy. The pudding itself had a pleasant texture but was noticeably oversalted, almost as if the seasoning had been misjudged. Service throughout the evening was efficient, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant also offers a strong cocktail program and an interesting wine list. Overall, despite a few minor issues, the experience was very enjoyable and we look forward to returning to Rosalie. read more

Logan greeted me, Natalie was our Server, she made recommendations on some of her favorites. Marco was the Bartender, he recommended the Frick & Frac cocktail (Gin, Orangecello, Lemon Juice, Orange Bitters). This drink is all about Covina! The name is for the shuttle service that stops at the restaurant. The Orangecello was chosen for the orange logo of the city and its history of orange groves. My second drink was the Rosalie Sour (Mezcal). MENU HIGHLIGHTS: - Appetizers = Pork Meatballs; Mushrooms in a savory Truffle Butter sauce; Charred Octopus - Sides = Little Gem Salad with Pepitas, Anchovies, Green Goddess dressing; Heirloom Tomatoes (Yuzu Ponzu sauce); Roasted Carrots; Roasted Potatoes with Goat Cheese; Cauliflower with Cannellini beans, Garlic, Lime Cream and Chives - Entrees = Agnolotti Lamb with Cilantro and Lime; Chicken in Gochujang Mole; Striped Bass with Squash; Torchetti (Pork Ragu pasta with Ricotta Cheese). - Desserts = Bosco Nero (Italian Chocolate Cake); Peach Tort, or Strawberry Shortcake.

is such a great addition to Covina, especially if you're craving good Italian without having to leave the area. The pasta and pizza are the stars here. The pastas come out perfectly cooked with rich, well balanced sauces that actually cling to the noodles, and the portions are generous and satisfying. You can tell they're putting real care into the recipes because everything tastes fresh and comforting instead of heavy. The pizzas are just as solid. Great crust with the right texture, good sauce to cheese ratio, and quality toppings. It's the kind of pizza you keep reaching for even when you're already full. The cocktails were a really nice surprise too. Well made, balanced, and not just an afterthought, which makes it easy to turn dinner into a full night out. Overall it's just nice to have a spot like this in Covina. Good pasta, good pizza, good drinks, and a space that feels like a proper sit down neighborhood restaurant. Definitely a place we're happy to see in the area and will keep coming back to. read more

Rosalie in Covina is definitely the glow-up Covina didn't know it needed. The vibe is adorable -- think date night chic meets "finally, somewhere local that isn't a chain." Love that for us. The food is family-style, but don't get it twisted, this is not Cheesecake Factory-level sharing - this is more "refined share plates" than "three meals in one sitting.". The pork meatballs were the stars of the night -- two huge, flavorful ones in a rich red sauce. The charred octopus had good flavor, but a few bites were overcooked and tougher than I'd like (that green sauce though? 10/10 would bottle it). The lobster pasta had nice flavor too, but the lobster portion was shy and the pasta a bit too al dente -- like it needed another 45 seconds in the pot. Service was friendly but... a little MIA at times. Our server was sweet, but it felt like we were playing hide-and-seek for refills and dessert menus. At one point, they cleared the table, asked how everything was, and then disappeared into the void for a solid five minutes. Overall, I can see what Rosalie is trying to do -- it's giving DTLA THAT GIRL RESTAURANT ENERGY-- but it needs a bit more refinement in both food execution and service pacing. I'm rooting for it though, because Covina deserves spots like this that feel fresh, fun, and actually worth dressing up for. read more

I used to love Giovanni's and was super sad they closed. Rosalie is a great addition to downtown Covina! Same layout as Giovanni's except the outdoor area is now sealed off by glass. Service was attentive and with reservations we were seated right away! Here's the food we ordered: -Focaccia bread 10/10 crispy and super warm. The butter it came with was delicious. -Pork Meatballs 10/10 These are two baseball sized meatballs! We didn't even finish them but they were delicious. -Roasted carrots 10/10 amazing veggies. -Caccio e Pepe 8/10 great but not life changing. -Sea Bass 8/10 sea bass was ok but the veggies on which it was served made all the difference. Definitely coming back to try different items on the menu! read more

Decided to try this new place and thought there wouldn't be that much people here yet but it was decently packed! We used our Amex Resy credit here and it did not disappoint! FOOD: The apps were great! We had the tuna tartare with a Thai influence so I really liked the coconut taste to it, I just wished it came with chips. The focaccia bread and butter was so good and warms the soul. The striped bass was too plain for me but it was a good portion! The Torchetti pasta that my husband got tho was pretty good and has the classic meat pasta taste Drinks were themed but we only got wine so we didn't get to taste the cocktails. They do have a drink named after the Frick N Frack in honor of the pick up spot in front of their place! It was a cute way to honor Covina's little shuttle system AMBIANCE: It was def tight in there and LOUD. But it was giving DTLA restaurant energy in a suburb city read more

By far, the best Italian restaurant in Downtown Covina. From the owners of Union in Pasadena, Rosalie's comes to Covina. The food and the atmosphere here is beyond great. They have a dining room, a patio and an outside courtyard complete with a fire pit and tables. You can sit out there as you are waiting for your table and enjoy some delicious cocktails We came here to celebrate a birthday with a party of eight. We made reservations in advance, and as we waited for our table, we enjoyed cocktails in the courtyard patio. We ordered Aperol cocktail, espresso martini a few Old Fashions and some lemon drop martini's. Before we knew it, our table was ready. The staff is really friendly and casual. We started off with the pork meatballs (you will not be disappointed), the blue fin tuna tartare, focaccia and charred octopus. All were excellent! For our main dishes we shared, Lumache, Rotolo (lamb birria pasta) chicken, striped bass and NY steak. I have to say, I didn't care for the cut of steak but the marinade was really good. The Rotolo pasta was do unique, our party loved it. We had to thank the chef before we left who was so down to earth and welcoming. He appreciated our feedback and you can tell he loves making people feel good with food. A great edition to downtown Covina. I'm sure it will start to get more busy as the months come along and people know they are here.

What a lovely surprise in Covina! Was very excited to see this level of dining easily accessible in this town. I had a very lovely dinner here, service was a tad bit slow but it's a Monday night so I understand. [From starters to dessert] Focaccia had beautiful height to it, and the spreads that came with it were delicious no notes. Burrata was a bit hard, but the flavors were good. Loved the citrus & honey combo. Mushroom dish was my favorite honestly, so delicious I can't wait to go back and order more. Torchetti was my 2nd favorite, delicious and a generous portion which shocked me bc I know this restaurant was supposed to be similar to Union in Pasadena. Pesto pasta unfortunately fell flat for me. Flavors lacked depth and pasta needed maybe another 30 mins boiling. And to end the night, a nice cinnamon roll. Don't let the picture fool you our cinnamon roll was HUGE. This was all for 2 people and we were only able to finish the starters, so i would say in terms of portion size they're actually good! Not sure what other people were talking about, you can't expect Cheese Factory portion sizing from a place like this. Overall bill came up to $127 before tip which again, for 6 items i think is an EXTREMELY fair price! Lovely experience, very friendly staff, will definitely be coming back to check out other dishes. Very excited to see this place grow and what their upcoming menu is! read more

Food is good overall. The Burrata with seasonal citrus, candied kumquat and honey is exquisite! You can really taste the sweet oranges, dill, honey and olive oil. We also ordered the Rigatoni with pistachio pesto. Perfectly cooked pasta but just a tad too salty. The meatballs and spaghetti have a delicious tomato sauce. This is a very substantial dish for those of you who are very hungry. We also enjoyed the wild mushroom polenta. Service was good and the restaurant and bathrooms are clean. A very nice find in Covina. read more

It's about time a restaurant like this is in the SGV. I don't have to go into LA to get the foodie experience I crave. If you know fine dining and appreciate love poured into your food this is the place. The pasta is fresh and insanely delicious. The service was on point and the drinks, divine. This is the kind of dining I used to have to travel an hour to get and now it's in my backyard. So thankful this opened in the area. Started with focaccia and English peas. Yes ma'am! Incredible. Bread is soft and the flavors of the pea dish were popping. And I don't even like peas! Then had the mains rigatoni, torchetti and bucatini cacio e pepe. The flavors were vibrant and soooo tasty. Top notch. Also had the steak and it was a different take but very good. I'll be coming back for sure to try the rest of the menu and revisit some of the ones we had. Make your reservations because this restaurant needs to never go away! read more

A great spot for an elevated dinner in the Covina area! Service was amazing and our server was able to help guide us through the menu. Great wine list. Cocktails looked delicious as well. We ordered a bottle of wine, 3 apps, and 2 pastas and that was perfect for a dinner of 3. Honorable mentions: the sunchokes and spaghetti. Would definitely go again! read more

Finally made it to this new Italian restaurant! It popped up on my IG and had been wanting to come try it out for a while now. Our waitress was nice and attentive. She told us that this Italian food is northern Italian style. We are not familiar with this type of Italian food but excited to try it out. We ordered an appetizer, two dishes and dessert to share. Appetizer: Bluefintuna tartar (so goood!), main dishes: Lumache and Bucatini...I love lobster and the Lumache had some. This pasta was good but I feel it lacked a bit of flavor. The Bucatini on the other hand was delicious! For dessert we ordered a Mexican hot chocolate cinnamon roll, that was amazing! Overall it was a good experience coming here! read more
