The outdoor seating is very aesthetic and you may not tell from the unassuming front. Our service was exceptional and everything on the menu looked so good we had to intentionally order too much food so we could try everything and just take home leftovers!

Easily snagged a reservation for the outdoor patio on a Friday at 6pm. Not too crowded when we sat…read moredown, but it filled up by 6:30-7. The patio's a nice space, half-covered with fans, so it'll be great through summer. Service was attentive and fast, almost too fast. We ordered 2-3 apps and two entrees, and everything landed at once within 10-15 minutes. No real gap between courses, which meant no chance to actually finish the apps before the entrees showed up. But everything came out lukewarm, which was the main issue. The Brussels sprouts, meatball, and empanadas were all fairly tasty, but the meatball and empanada were room temp, which dulled the flavor. Same story with the entrees, chicken Milanesa and Lomo Saltado, both lukewarm. The Milanesa was thin, easy to eat, and the sauce worked well with it. The fries tasted frozen, not hand-cut, and on the Lomo Saltado the sauce made them soggy fast. Sauce itself ran a bit too salty. Steak in the Lomo Saltado was tender though, and generous on portion. Good space, good service energy, but the food execution needs work. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to unless they fix the food temperature and the fries.

De La Torre is one of those places you would probably drive past without realizing what you are…read moremissing. It is tucked into an unassuming shopping center, but absolutely worth seeking out. Once inside, it feels less like a restaurant and more like you have been invited over to a friend's dining room. It is warm, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. The service hits that perfect balance. It is friendly, attentive, and never overbearing. You feel taken care of without it being a production. The food really delivers. The special, chicken thighs stuffed with smoked ham, was standout and memorable. The margarita pizza is exactly what you want it to be. It is simple, well executed, and perfect for sharing. Do not let the "small" size fool you. It is easily enough for two, maybe even three if you are catching up over drinks. Portions across the board are generous. The fish entrees are especially impressive. The salmon alone felt like it had to be close to half a pound. All of this comes at prices that feel more than fair for the quality and quantity you are getting. This is definitely a spot worth returning to. I am already looking forward to coming back to try the paninis for lunch.

My cousin recommended this place, and we decided to stop by after a workout. We got there five…read moreminutes after they opened at 5pm. The hostess off the bat looked at us like we were lost and immediately asked if we had a reservation. We said no, and I honestly felt like she was waiting for us to leave. I even asked if a reservation was needed since there was only one family in the restaurant at the time. I'm not sure why she asked, but she eventually seated us. From the start, I honestly felt judged because we were dressed in workout clothes. But anyways. The restaurant itself is surprisingly small, and considering we were only the second party there, the service was disappointing. I think we waited over 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order, and during that time they helped customers who arrived after us. When we finally got service, there was no welcoming smile or welcoming attitude. The overall atmosphere felt very cold and uninviting. I ordered the baked ziti, and it was okay to be honest. Honestly, I prefer Olive Garden's baked ziti. We're from San Jose, and unfortunately, this wasn't an experience that would bring us back.

Perfect for a date night, especially when there is nice weather. The service stood out immediately as well; the servers were very attentive, present without being overbearing, and made the whole experience feel smooth and intentional. We started with the arancini, which was okay, good texture, but nothing especially memorable. The chicken piccata was the highlight of the meal. Really well done: bright lemon flavor, buttery sauce, and cooked perfectly. I'd come back just for that. I also had the French 75, which was refreshing, but fairly standard compared to others I've had.
