We were fortunate to get a late reservation for 5:30 PM on Saturday night (Theater night). It was our first time to this restaurant, so we really hoped it would be good for us and our guests. Mary met us at the registration table and was cheery and sat us immediately. The table had a nice, white starched tablecloth and the waiter brought us drinks minutes after we were seated. The menu was impressive with lots of familiar and some Italian dishes that are normally not offered by Italian restaurants. We all ordered something different and when the food was served it was presented beautifully. It was delicious! Everyone raved about how good their dinner was. We had the Spinach Ravioli, Mama Pina, Potelle and Spaghetti Dacio Pepe. The service was the excellent. We ended the meal with their Creme Brulle...delicious served with fresh berries. We will definitely be back. This was the best Italian food we have experienced, with very nice ambiance and excellent service...simply the best!

This place is a hidden gem in Santa Ana. The Italian dishes are phenomenal and the service was on-point. I was particularly impressed with how constantly they refilled our waters. We had the Caprese salad, Gnochhi, Burrata Raviolli and Malbec and everything was divine.
