    This is the best Italian restaurant in Orange County! My husband and I shared the orecchiette with brisket in a Barolo wine sauce. The pasta was cooked to perfection! So delicious. For the entree I had the special Chilean sea bass . Cooked perfectly with potatoes and spinach. My husband had the pappardelle with oxtail ragu. About of pasta but it was delicious! Service from Gianfranco and Alessio could not have been better!!!

    I had the best ox tail pappardelle dish that I’ve ever eaten. It was creamier than normal which made the dish extra nice.

    The whole experience was great but as usual it’s hard to find a place there that isn’t super noisy. The service is always friendly and attentive and the added bonus of being able to talk Italian with the staff is fun!
