The service and food were outstanding. The staff was very accommodating of all our requests and exceeded our expectations. Our server was attentive and made great menu suggestions. We were celebrating a special birthday for my husband with our daughters and their husbands and it was everything we hoped it would be and Thank you for making it such a memorable evening! !

Delicious pizza and the staff were all very friendly, especially the ladies at the front area. Love to visit here when I’m in Del Mar. I especially love the model horse display as I am a collector myself. Loved the music selection also!

Amazing food and experience. Great service and food was top notch! Gelato for dessert was not the strongest choice on our part but the cheesecake made up for it!

Terrible service, eggplant was cold, the waitress didn’t come for 20min to our table. Finally ordered dessert (a scoop of ice cream) and the check… the check arrived 15min later, no ice cream. Waited another 5min and left (without ice cream). Terrible service, mediocre food. Definitely not going back. Restaurant was not at full capacity so that wouldn’t have made the waitress busy, she just disappeared. Seating super uncomfortable. This place used to be good.

VERY loud, so just be prepared to speak loudly and. be surrounded by noise. Very energetic waitress as well who kept asking what the "special occasion" was that I had noted on my res. It almost felt pushy. Started in the bar and was just on the wire for HH wine and the bartender allowed my friend who showed up at like 6:03 the HH beer pricing. Thank you. Wished we'd stayed there as the dining room was obnoxiously loud. Ordered chopped salad (a bit overdressed), burrata app (yummy) and two pastas...the bolognese and the linguini w clams. Pastas were good but not outstanding.....guess I can be snobby as I;ve lived in Italy and am spoiled. Pleasant enough, not in a rush to return though.

we started with the burrata but the appetizer was completed different that the previous time at the restaurant. The tomatoes were not roasted just cut with some burrata and the bread was not as flavorful as the last time either. we completely enjoyed the pasta with the corn and the little gem salad. great girlfriend get together and dinner!
