Excelente servicio. La comida muy buena , y el ambiente muy acogedor y romántico
We paid some $100 for excruciating pain on my birthday. I explained my disease to the proprietor, and inquired as to whether he knew what gluten was. Could I safely eat in his restaurant? He expressed confidence he could make me food that was safe to eat. Rather than sleeping, I spent the night of my birthday in agonizing pain. Certainly I am responsible for my credulity, seduced as I was by a pleasant atmosphere and his delightful manner. But given my expressed medical condition, what he did really wasn't right, and I wish I had thought to ask for compensation. Vegetarian options: I think you could probably make it work Dietary restrictions: DO NOT TRUST WHAT THEY SAY. AGONY MAY ENSUE. Parking: If I remember correctly it was metered and pretty hard to find. We felt lucky when we found a spot.
Nice Italian restaurant. Adorable atmosphere. Chicken Marsala is fantastic. Wonderful food experience. They really take care of you here. Highly recommend.
Overpriced for mediocre food. I'm not one to pick the Olive Garden, I prefer authentic Italian food but I would have preferred it over this place. First, the server (owner) was not friendly at all, hardly said a word and once he gave us our food he did not return at all. The powdered parmesan cheese he practically threw on our plates was not real cheese, it might have been KRAFT or some other brand but it was definitely not real cheese. I am shocked to see many people give this place 5 stars, I'm sure they're either paid, his friends, or they haven't had real authentic Italian food. If I could give 0 stars I would. Definitely not returning to this place. Don't be fooled by their website that makes the place and food look fancy and authentic, it's nowhere near that!!

We came for dinner for 5 people. The manager old guy was impolite in the very beginning, he didn't ask us about reservations, etc. After a few minutes he came back and said that they have another guest for our table. He asked us to leave in a rude way. Me and my family we were shocked by his behavior. DO NOT RECOMMENDED this horrible place!!!!!
Business was slow. We walked in with a party of 7. Host was not welcoming. Did his job, but didn't seem to care whether we were there or not. Portions, while food was good, should have been a bit larger considering the price. Chintzy with the bread/butter. I don't think that any of us will return.
Small and quaint restaurant run by a family. The food and wine menu were flawless and the service was especially great. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant in balboa. You won't be disappointed.
The authentic flavor of the food is wonderful. Very quaint little space on Balboa Island.
