I created my own combination of Fettuccine Alfredo and Cheese Ravioli
with tomato sauce, and the restaurant accommodated my request with no problem. Both were yummy! I just added salt to the fettuccine to taste. Their spaghetti with angel hair pasta and meat sauce is very good and my friend really enjoyed her Caprese salad.
I enjoyed their house salad, but again, I just added salt and pepper, to taste.
Service is always excellent!
The atmosphere is cozy inside and they also have patio dining. I think the place is romantic, especially when it isn’t busy.
Holy Garlic Bread!
Came here with family (who are all carb eaters) and wasn't expecting much from pasta, but this place had great food and probably the best garlic bread I've ever had (they season BOTH sides of the bread!). I had the Gemelli Pasta with Chicken Sausage as recommended by our waiter, my parents had the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce (it's their favorite) and the rest of the family had Fettucine Alfredo and Rigatoni Primo.
Everyone loved their food but I really enjoyed the flavor of the sausage and the creamy garlic sauce on mine. It was the perfect combo of veggies and pasta and absolutely delicious. They give you BIG PORTIONS so be prepared to go away filled, or to have enough to take home with you.
We had a great dinner. Very interesting place. Great atmosphere, out waiter was both personable and entertaining. All of our meal were excellent
I will definitely return to this place, thank you SB
Great find. The food is good and the ambience cute and charming. Glad to have stumbled upon this place. We ordered Moscato, famous house salad, olives, and Pasta Lorenzo. Enjoyed everything!
Good food, huge portions, but not for parties more than 6. Cozy atmosphere, but can get cramped with a big party. Not very busy on weekdays, and only open for dinner, but their minestrone soup and house salad are an amazing add to all dishes. Pricey, but wonderful for a special occasion.
Our waiter Dean was the best waiter we have ever had. He took a casual dining experience and made it special. The chx creamy pesto was out of this world
I loved it here. First time visitor. Great food, fresh and big portions. Friendly staff.
Really good food served family style. The garlic bread is Devine and the entrees are Delicious. All together a wonderful place to go for Italian food.
Fantastic food and great service! The only thing they need is an espresso machine but they make up for it with high quality and atmosphere.
I've had my fair share of GOOD pasta (in the US and Italy). Saw this place on Google next door to the hotel I'm staying at due to Irvine fires evacuation. The papa's combo is extremely flavorful as is the shrimp pesto (shrimp deveined and cleaned). The minestrone is super unique, light, and delicious. The only thing that feels fatty on this meal is the garlic bread in all its buttery goodness. P.S. The ambience/staff were super warm and friendly too.
