  • Very good Italian food in the heart of Dana Point. Started with fried green beans and fried calamari. The Calamari was exceptional, very fresh. Balsamic reduction sauce that came with the green beans was off the charts. For my main course, had the Rigatoni Salsicci. Rigatoni w/ sausage and grilled chicken in a vodka sauce. Very nice dish. Service was top notch and the ambiance was perfect. Very good meal, very good restaurant!

  • Great authentic spot in Dana Point! The live accordion player is amazing and so cool to talk to. The bartender makes a great Negroni. I enjoyed an Austrian white wine, which pleasantly surprised me! Their Pappardelle Ragu is fantastic and so is the Ossobuco. Will definitely make this a repeat visit for family occasions!
