Food was excellent. The chopped salad was exceptional and the pizza was fantastic. The fried squash blossoms were not the traditional, delicate tempura-type batter. The coating was thick and a bit greasy, but the sauce on the plate was tasty. Service was fair. Noise level was ridiculously loud. The music was far too loud and as the restaurant filled up we could hardly hear each other across the table. There was a problem with the draft beer system, so I had to have a substitute.

Awful experience thanks to a server who hated her job, hated us for coming in and went out of her way to ensure we knew it. This was actually the worst dining experience we ever had.

We will miss our go-to for italian food and inviting bar area. Please find a new north county spot! Close to the flower hill center - Solana Beach or DelMar !

Most of our group’s meals were not great. Our server was excellent and we had great service but were surprised at the serving size for the ravioli and my medium steak was done well not like I asked for. If ther service had not been great we would’ve complained more.

I am a regular here and honestly this was the most disappointing experience. The food we normally order was not the same as it usually was nor did it taste the same. I also had a piece of string in my food.
