So happy to find this place existing in the "franchise ocean" of Laguna Hills Everything I tried so far was very tasty, homemade and extremely comforting. They use finely milled wheat flour for making pizza crusts and pasta, also known as "doppio zero flour" or "00 flour" Tomato sauce is so good and homemade as well, and their Tuscan Minestrone soup literally brought me back to my childhood. The service is amazing and the new owners, Michelle and Brett are truly wonderful, hardworking and welcoming hosts. Thank you for feeding me, and see you again soon!

I stumbled into this cute and welcoming cafe while getting my car fixed across the street. Hidden in a business complex with ample parking...Super friendly service and a savory menu with lots of options. The salad was excellent and the homemade mushroom ravioli also a winner. The bread was sinfully good. Definitely go!

I saw the reviews about this 15 year old bistro & decided we should celebrate our 58th wedding anniversary there. Michelle (owner) was lovely. The caprese salad, eggplant parmesan and short ribs ravioli were delicious. Bocelli was in the background too! We'll definitely be returning to try the paninis! Dianne & Bruce

I went in for lunch the other day and did enjoy my eggplant very much when I left. I went out without my purse. I am so impressed that the young lady that served me actually brought my purse to my house as she couldn’t find a phone number. This is very special treatment and this is a very special person. All I can say is thank you thank you thank you and I will be back to your restaurant

WOW! Have heard such great things about this place. I purchased some ravioli at the Dana Point Farmers Market this Sat. I got the cheese and the short rib. AMAZING! So delicious! Will definitely be going back to the market or to the store front to get more.

I had the best sandwich I've had in my 45 years of existence. A turkey sandwich. It was like tasting heaven. The bread tasted like straight from the oven. The toppings tasted like they were grown in the kitchen and cut as the sandwich was being made. I just don't know what to say and wanted to share. I took the sandwich to go, and called them to let them know how much I liked it.
