Italian Cuisine - NOT in the American tradition of smothering with cheese and sauce. Light-handed, regional, authentic. Pungent Caesar salad, beef carpaccio sliced so thin it practically melts into your fork (served with arugula, Parmesan, capers, lemon and olive oil). Good Neopolitan style pizzas. Best Vongole (spaghetti with clams-though I always like a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes in mine - but you can add those on your own). If you like "pink" sauce (Vodka sauce), their is sublime. But it's not just the food...from the first time we walked in, we were treated so graciously; as if we had been long-time customers! This is the best restaurant of any type in the area. Speaking of which-it is definitely a destination restaurant - in the middle of nowhere, on a tiny side street. You gotta know your food is excellent to choose a location so off-the-beaten-track! Gluten free options and child friendly. Mangia!!

No other restaurant comes close to this Italian eatery. You will not be disappointed. There is an ample wine list and a full bar.

Must try the hazelnut lava cake dessert, it was like a Ferraro rocher and truly the best hands down! The pastas were also very good and reasonable, definately homemade and fresh. Tried the lobster and crab pasta but lobster was a little rubbery and would have made a different choice. Calamari was good, and all the pasta was served hot and nice sauces. Lovely cocktails, great wine list and that dessert made the place excellent but overall would say very good and would recommend. Will return, hopefully when not too busy, as it is the most popular restaurant it seems. Looks like there are daily specials, and also lunch would be great to try as well.

Everybody raves about this place, for the life of me I don't know why. Maybe it's because with the exception of 1 or 2 restaurants Santa Clarita is an epicurean wasteland. Went here a while ago found there wine list to be average and the food to be very average. The place was noisy also.

Great service, amazing food. We had a few cocktails in the bar before dinner. I sampled a cucumber martini which was delicious. Had the calamari appetizer, perfectly cooked, very lightly breaded with tasty dipping sauce. Ordered the halibut for dinner which was cooked to perfection. The menu had a wide range of options from traditional pasta dishes, pizzas, and main entrees of steak and fish. We brought our own wine, corkage fee was $15. Great place for dinner and any special occasion.
