Fabulous, authentic Italian food. We came specifically to this restaurant during our Coronado visit because the owners are fantastic, staff is friendly and food is top notch. It was our third time there and they haven’t dropped the ball since they opened 5 years ago. We’ll be back! The pastas and salads are wonderful. We will try the pizza next visit as everyone was raving about them!

What a treasure. Authentic Italian in a converted garage. The restaurant has wonderful atmosphere. Staff is engaging and attentive. Food is delicious. We dined 2 nights in a row and both evenings were excellent experiences.

Perfect outing with the kids for my family and a friend that we were celebrating for her birthday. They were able to accommodate her with her need for specific food requests and were very kind and helpful overall. We were seated next to the door (garage door) and the sun was beaming on the table which did make it quite hot by the time we were done eating. Overall we truly enjoyed our experience, but next time we will know to ask to not be seated in the sun area as we did this last time.

We decided on pasta last night and was disappointed. The cacio e Pepe was not a flavorful pecorino cheese and the pepper was non existent. Our server did grind a lot on for me so it wasn’t a total loss but even the added shrimp was tasteless. My husband’s spicier sauce over gnocchi was better but still nothing special. The soup of the day was good. Next time we’ll stick to pizza.
