    The four of us were greeted by the nice lady at check in. We were seated outside- warm day in December so it was really nice to sit outside because the noise level inside can be a bit loud. Our group ordered two appetizers- the burratta and focaccia. Both were delicious. Between the four of us we had rigatoni, two different salads and the butternut squash ravioli! Everything was delicious! Our server was great!! Loved it

    The food and service were great! We shared the focaccia bread, the arugula salad and the mushroom ravioli with chicken apple sausage. All were excellent. I recommend this restaurant.

    My friend had the seafood pasta she had the gluten-free pasta which added two dollars to the service. I had the special which was a beef tenderloin tortellini style pasta with a creamy sauce, which was very good. My friend had the seafood pasta, she really enjoyed it. She thought it was an excellent value, and the flavor was very good. I like the overall feel of the restaurant. I like the fact you’re not freezing inside of it which it can be a problem with many restaurants in Santa Cruz. This restaurant was very warm and comfortable and we will definitely be back with friends.
