Table side preparation of the Parmesan pasta in a wheel of Parm. Amazing pizza and homemade pasta of all shapes and sizes. Such a great meal that we returned the next night.

Delicious food, good service. Definitely a "go-to" in Chula Vista. The menu has been revised, visually easier to read. And the food is delicious. Glad to see it was completely full inside and almost full outside. It's a keeper!

From the moment you walk in and see the pasta being hand prepared in front of your eyes you know you’re in for a special culinary experience! Everything was so tasty from the roasted octopus appetizer to the fresh made lasagne. Service was excellent and the dining area is lively and true to Italian restaurants in Italy. Earns my Five Star Rating!!!

At the Coronado location, I once again had the rigatoni alla vodka which is amazing! My waiter, Leo is wonderful. He has been my waiter in the past as well. He is always so nice to every customer. He makes the visit so enjoyable.
