Didn't expect much here upon arrival to the strip mall it is located in but was pleasantly surprised. Decided to go for Italian food rather than go to the trendy Tarbell's located in the same strip mall. As opposed to other reviewers, I simple just parked in the half empty lot in front of the place, no problems. Valet was available but not required.
The place was empty but the reception was friendly and the service was good to excellent. Friendly Italian waiter told me it was the slowest week of the year traditionally here.
The wine list was more than adequate but the Italian selections were pricey, I found some better deals on the US selections.
The food was also good to excellent with excellent pastas and fish available, I had the cioppino (I know cioppino and this was 4 star).
Salad and vegetable sides were done very well.
It is a little old school, kind of reminded me of a suburban Italian Durant's.
