   Located in a newly developing apartment living center. Came for lunch, lots of construction noises outside, so chose to sit inside, which was pretty cute & cozy. My friends ordered the beet salad & eggplant parmigiana, which they said were delicious and big portions. I had the spinach pear salad, which was mediocre and not anything special. Overall, the service was like my salad, friendly & fine but no WOW factor. I prefer the Encinitas spot.

   The food was tasty however, the restaurant was packed and they had 1 server!?! I know it’s the holidays, but this was awful. The server was so busy we didn’t get anything without flagging her down only for her to forget. We won’t be back.

   the food was delicious and we all had a great time, we were a little disappointed when we first walked in because the hostess wasn’t there and we stood at the front for about 5 minutes before anyone spoke to us. the servers and other staff were looking over but no one came to help us. after that, the service was great and we had a lovely time! the food was awesome and we’d love to come back and give it another shot!

   Food is always great here. Tried the Millefoglie Della Nonna for dessert. Was absolutely divine!

   We dined here last night, and it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The food was horrible—over salted, undercooked, and completely lacking any sort of flavor or freshness. For the absurdly high prices, we were expecting something at least passable, but this was beyond disappointing. The food came out in five minutes which means it was pre-cooked and was poorly prepared. It felt like no care or effort went into the dishes at all. On top of that, the service wasn’t great either—brought regular coke instead of Diet Coke and just lacked care. We will absolutely never be coming back here. Save your money and your taste buds—go literally anywhere else. Total waste of your money.

   A bit disappointed. Ordered lasagna, personal fave. It arrived barely hot enough. A[peared that it wasn't cooked to order. because the sauce on top was hotter than the lasagna underneath. So I guess it is precooked in large pans ahead of time, then cut and covered in more sauce. I could have waited till the server came back around to check and sent it back, but decided not to wait and just started eating. It was competent, not memorable.
