    Where do I start? Place had just opened and it felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves. The ambiance was stunning during the afternoon, very clean, and service was phenomenal from the beginning and to the end! I reserved it for a special date night and it did not disappoint. Food was just an awwwwww feeling. It was prepared stunning and quality of taste was superb!! Our server Jorge was Exceptional! He catered and answered all the questions we had in English and in Spanish 😊 we will definitely go back for another date night! Thank you Rumari for the 5 Star ⭐️ Service and Food!! Thank you Eric R & Roxana B

    Very good portions of food and quite pleasing to one’s palette the service was excellent especially since it was a birthday celebration. Been coming here for 30+ years. Intimate and perfect ambiance. Blessed to have this in Laguna.

    We have been coming here for years so were eager to take our first-timer friends. The pasta fagioli was excellent. The service was slow so when one of our entrees was wrong (veal for chicken) we waited another half hour for the chicken parmesan to be served. They comped the dish but it didn't matter, the meal was disappointing.

    What a treat! We went with two friends for dinner. I mentioned to the waiter we are newly engaged - totally unexpectedly - they brought a dessert with a candle and sang for us. Love when a heart is in a business. Beautiful. Great food too.
