This location is very different than the Irvine location. Service was 3/5 due to wait time and hospitality. Pasta came out cold & the Salad we ordered came out last , we were already finished with our entrees. The reason for the late salads we were told the kitchen was backed up. I really wanted to like this location, will not return.

This is our first time visiting this location. We have dined at the location in Irvine twice, and had a wonderful experience there. However, this location is disappointing. The service was slow and forgettable. The food is good, but the bad service made the dinner frustrating.

Originally made a reservation for 4 but the hostess and manager were very accommodating and allowed me to include 2 more guests last minute without hassle, I do not recommend doing that by the way. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Our server provided a great experience for my party. The food was good: pasta made fresh, calamari fried to protection (not greasy), Bolognese had perfect amount of sauce, Mothers Day Bruschetta was more on the sweeter side, meatballs were soft/flavorful/ cooked to perfection, lasagna was small but the flavor made up for it. The seasonal butter cake had coconut and caramel which was warm not too sweet and the vanilla gelato was a great addition to the their butter cakes. Paid almost $500 which wasn’t bad because we did order a lot of food, half is not listed on this review. My first time at the Cerritos location and I would definitely come again. I’ve only been to the Torrance location on multiple occasions and experienced similar outcomes.

A server name was Jay. He was wonderful and very observant. Some things took a little longer to come, but I don’t blame him in the kitchen was really busy. I’ve been your numerous time and it’s always a great ambience and the food is delicious. Recommend this place.
