    The hostess and waiter were so kind. All of the staff were attentive. The food was so fresh and delicious. I had the salmon and my husband had the spinach ricotta ravioli. This is a great place for a high quality, reasonably priced Italian meal.

    Excellent experience overall! What a wonderful way to end a very busy day at such a lovely restaurant. Food was over the top good. Our server, Kinda, was attentive, courteous, and knowledgeable. This is truly a neighborhood gem. I highly recommend.

    Food cold. Calamari and bruschetta not edible. Server rushed us because they had a large party coming in in 2 hrs. Would never recommend. Server rude.

    This was our first visit to Asti. We had a great experience. We will definitely be back. We started with a salad and some beef carpaccio. After that we had veal piccata and Carbonara. Everything was delicious. We had some nice wine as well. The service was great.

    Had a Thanksgiving meal here and was pleased to say it was the best thanksgiving turkey, stuffing and potatoes I’ve had. Also the best tiramisu I’ve had too. Didn’t try their Italian menu but I’m sure it is great.

    Now that’s Italiano! Felt like we were there in the heart of SanDiego. Food was exceptional-best Caesar Salad we’ve ever had (abundance of anchovies…finally!). Our waiter was perfectly suited to make our experience memorable. And this was on the US thanksgiving holiday when he should have been at home with his family! 5+stars.
