Tried Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana on a Monday dinner date with hubby and honestly... why is this…read moremy new "casual but actually kinda fancy" spot? Mariana was that girl. Attentive, professional, and somehow always there right when we needed her without hovering. Started with a Cadillac margarita and yes... it was balanced, refreshing, and dangerous in the "I could have two more" way. Love that they add the Grand Marnier on the side, as they should. Food rundown because everything deserved its moment: * Diavola pizza: the crust?? perfect. Light, crisp, slightly chewy, all the things. Ingredients tasted fresh fresh. The calabrese + crushed red pepper combo had a nice kick without doing too much. * Romana salad: not your basic salad. The speck, artichokes, goat cheese, pine nuts... it's giving main character energy. * Beef carpaccio: super tender, bright from the lemon, and balanced with the arugula + parm. Clean and simple in the best way. * Arancini: crispy outside, cheesy center, sitting in that tomato sauce like they know they're the favorite. Overall vibe: cozy but elevated, great service, and food that actually lives up to the menu descriptions (rare). Only complaint? I'm already planning my next visit.

The staff in the kitchen was equally skilled, and my family will be returning to try more of their menu. We shared a variety of dishes. The deviled eggs and bacon plate started the meal, and while the deviled eggs were well done, the bacon tasting plate was both a delicious and unique dish that I strongly recommend. We tried the pancakes (perfectly fluffy), the chicken and waffles (the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and a delicious crunch as well on the Parmesan crust), and the Eggs Benedict (well executed, and I intend to explore their three other variations when I go back) Finally, the price was reasonable for everything, and frankly cheaper than I expected for the quality of food and service. There are many restaurants competing for attention and business at Immigrant Son Caffe's price point and, having been to many of them, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here. I will be going again, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent breakfast spot whose staff treats you like they want your business

Located in the Collection, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Immigrant Son Caffe. From the…read moremoment we walked up to the hostess stand, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The menu had a nice selection of primarily savory options that made it hard to narrow down as everything sounded so good. Ultimately, I ended up going with the "Caffe Breakfast" ($19) which came with 2 eggs, my choice of bacon and season potatoes, along with a slice of ciabatta. Everything was delicious, but my favorite item on the plate actually ended up being their house made berry jam. It was so good paired with their perfectly crusty ciabatta bread! We also ordered the "Breakfast Charcuterie" as an appetizer which was beautifully plated. I loved the toasted focaccia and it was so fun getting to top your own bread with the sunny side up egg, creamy cheese options, fresh avocado, smoked salmon, pickled red onions, calabrian chili crunch, and pickled pistachios. While I didn't get to try their toasts, our table also ordered their "Salmon Avocado Toast" ($19) and their "Avocado Pomodoro Toast" ($18). Each dish was so aesthetically pleasing. I only wish the portions were a little bigger as everything felt on a bit on the smaller side and we all left still feeling like we could have eaten more. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the food and our experience at Immigrant Son Caffe. The restaurant was clean and inviting, the wait staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. If you're not an early riser, be prepared to wait though. When we arrived closer to 8:45am on a holiday weekday, we were able to get seated right away and there were only a few tables occupied. However, when we left closer to 9:45am, there was already a line formed outside that wrapped around the side of the building.

Please use a more conducive packaging option because the little square styrofoam container once again, leaked all over inside the bag! Every time I get the meatballs to go this happens! It doesn't make sense why you choose to send such a saucy-soupy takeout item in a box that has no seal? A round foil to go pan with the lid that you pinch the sides over would solve this problem easily ‍ I guess I should've mentioned it the last couple times I ordered them to go ‍ my bad... Anyway while I definitely recommend dining here, be mindful should you order takeout, and request your food to be sealed well to avoid leaks.

The service was not friendly....they don't have garlic bread anymore. Italian place? No garlic bread? Instead they only have store bought rolls. The meatballs were those little ones you can buy in the frozen section of the grocery store. I know their taste very well. That's what they were. Ravioli. Again, store bought. If I want store bought I'll buy them myself. These were so obviously reheated in a microwave it's stupid. Parts of the raviolis were hard and a had just a tiny amount of filling. Part of the spaghetti noodles hard & mushy. I detect more microwave cooking here too. Does anyone know what happened to them? It's such a shame as it used to be a prime dining experience. This is no joke folks!! Go try it if you're brave enough..... oh yeah. Just open from 4:00 to 8:00 now.

That was a HH the likes of which will never be seen again. But I digress...TODAY is today! Great, private parking lot with easy in/out. We came in for a lovely dinner and got just that. Seated immediately and in a comfy booth along the wall, perfect for people watching. SO. MANY. PEOPLE! I wasn't expecting a restaurant to be so full on a Tuesday night, but when you're as good as Ottavio's you develop a loyal following of locals who enjoy their time here. Many celebrations were obviously being had in just our little portion of the restaurant. There are multiple rooms, accommodating various sized parties, and the hot, delicious Italian faire just kept coming. Fresh, warm bread was delivered with our water and we dove into that doughy deliciousness strait away. Hubs went with a 50/50 plate of spaghetti and cheese ravioli with a meat sauce and added meatballs. I snuck a bite of the meatballs and they were very good, as was the sauce. I opted for the Tortellini Silvana, which was described as cheese tortellini w/sauteed chicken, fresh spinach, basil and sun dried tomato cream sauce. It was FABulous! Light and delicate sauce with full flavor. A generous portion, I took about 1/2 home! Our entrees each came with a choice of soup or salad. Hubs chose Italian Wedding and I went with Minestrone. (Side note: I knew well and good I would be having 2 soups, so I wanted to try both. ;-D) Both were made from scratch and delicious! I was impressed with how fluid the staff worked along side one another. Drinks then food then boxing and the check and - voila! - table turned and on to the next group, all while maintaining a welcoming and pleasurable attitude and friendly service. We are sure to have another meal here, next time we're craving old school Italian, homemade, handed down family recipes in Camarillo. Cheers! "CC"
