This was our third time here and once again, everything was superb! The food is so fresh and delicious. We had the caprese and burrata salad, pizza , chicken Parmesan and chocolate mousse. The pasta is excellent too! The wine list is full of great Italian wines, reasonably priced. The service is consistently excellent! We love it here! It never disappoints! 5 stars!

A little too loud inside (music) so ate outside. Loved the Panang curry and ancient grains bowls; we've had them multiple times. However this time ww both selected shrimp and it wasn't very fresh tasting. Same thing the last time as well. We recommend the antibiotic chicken for both bowls and you won't be disappointed.

An adorable setting tucked away in San Juan Capistrano. Perfect for a relaxing and delicious lunch with some girlfriends. I'm not usually a lady who lunches, so this is the best treat. The Triple Crown Salad is out of this world. The scones are delightful. If you go in cooler weather, bring another layer if you're going to sit outside since the veranda is shaded.
