   To say this place is loud is an understatement. I couldn’t hear my GF from across the table. Food was underwheling.

   After sitting at a table for 2, the chairs has a round back so every woman in the restaurant has to put their purse on their lap. We ordered 2 appetizers and a main dish and they brought ALL of it almost at the same time. No room on the table, and part of the food gets cold because we can’t eat it fast enough. They were apparently rushing us to come in and get out. The noise level was a 5. Food was average.

   Top notch quality food and service. We’ve been to their locations in Escondido and South Park, SD, glad they are in OC!

   The pasta was incredible! I really enjoyed that it was build your own. Our server was very kind, and made our evening light and enjoyable. The only complaint was the noise level in the back area, but that was only due to the group next to us. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and would recommend for a tasty Italian experience.
