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!

Food was interesting and delicious. We were delighted by all the dishes, even if we didn't love every component. Service was attentive but a bit "cold" though this was not an issue. Overall, a delightful meal. Would highly recommend a visit.

We did a quick booking to have a family gathering there. The menu offers many choices to suit individual tastes, and the food was delicious. The ambience was more open and not so private, but it works well for our type of casual dining.

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.
