From start to finish, it was great! The ambience was perfect and the food delicious. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it for the quality of the food, very authentic Italian cuisine. This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the area. We will for sure be back!

This was my first time at Last Page & it certainly won’t be my last. The food was amazing especially the bread & “butter” & pork belly. I got the coconut lavender margarita & it was so refreshing. All of the staff that we interacted with were extremely friendly & our waiter Tyler was so nice & super attentive & accommodating. It’s definitely pricey but worth the money. I live in Lake County & don’t make it out to pinecrest often but this is a place I’ll definitely go out of my way to go to again!

Very good first experience. Sea food tower was a bang for your buck, oysters were top notch and serving size was big. Even the ahi tuna amount was wild. Seared scallop dish was delicious, scallops big, juicy and flavorful. Will be coming back. Service was great as well drinks never ran low before being asked if we needed another.
