For almost 30 years now we've called Sunnyvale home, serving up traditional Italian dishes all made from scratch right here in house. We love seeing the look of delight on a guest's faces when they take that first bite, and it's hard not to smile when you're enjoying some gumbalicious pasta or a slice of hot, fresh pizza. Aside from the classics, we also serve a variety of signature salads, vegetarian options, and even weekend brunch to enjoy, as well. Whether you're stopping by for a workday lunch, dinner with the family, or heading out with friends for Sunday Funday, we're always here to welcome you!

Excellent service, especially from the patient sommelier.Delicious food, hats off to the pastry chef for conjuring the magical spiced quince with candied kumquat. Lovely setting, various rooms within a historic Victorian.

Ordered from the FRESH CATCH portion of the menu and we loved the taste of our dinners. Fish was fresh. Even the side dishes were very enjoyable. Bottle wine is half price on Tuesdays -- an added bonus!

All good. Good food. Very pleasant staff. One minor issue was … the volume of the TV playing the Giants game was overkill. (Perhaps there was a guest who was hard of hearing?). We were seated in a booth in the front part, and could not easily have a conversation.

We were there on a night with street music on Murphy so more crowded than usual and maybe a bit understaffed. They created additional seating for us outside which was great. Food was ok and the menu was eclectic but sufficient to offer many choices with a large wine and beer selection. They looked to have a full bar inside but only served wine and beer which was fine for us. Service was a little slow but there were a couple of large parties that took up time. Overall we were happy with our experience.
