    Had a reservation and were seated quickly and loved where we were seated, in that seat by the window! Damian was our server and he was so personable and made wonderful food selection choices. He was very attentive and always checking if we needed anything else. Glad we came.

    The Food was delicious. My wife and I are vegetarians, so the kitchen was able to remove the prosciutto from one of the pizza's and it was still amazing! The courtyard where the restaurant is located is very charming! We will definitely visit again.

    Great, creative menu and everything we ordered was delicious; Caprese Appetizer, Ravioli di Ricotta, Spaghetti Carbonara, Linguini Pescatoria, Risotto Funghi. Portions were generous. Reasonable prices. Outstanding friendly, yet totally professional service. Only negative was that there are mostly hard surfaces, so the noise level (restaurant was packed) was very high. Otherwise, a great dinner experience.

    Good food, but it wasn't spectacular. I think there are better spots in SLO for the price.
