Ok, how did we miss this place? Honestly. I am one picky person when it comes to Italian food. What amazes me about this restaurant is the owner. The owner goes up to each table and asks how everything is. The owner engages with his customers as if " they are family ". Whats even more inpressive was watching him sit down and enjoy his dinner, eating the same food in his own establishment he serves his customers. ( that tells me the food he serves his customers is excellent ). The food was absolutely outstanding to say the least. We were literally blown away at the service, the quality of the food and the ambience. My Lasagna was out of this world. The Caesar salad was absolutely fantastic. You would never know by looking at the restaurant from the outside, the type of treasure you see when you enter the restaurant. Unfortunately now, this will be the Italian restaurant that all others we encounter in our life will be judged. Do yourselves a favor. Please oh please don't pass this treasure up. I cant stress that enough. This is NOW our go-to place in the future when we want Italian food. No restaurant in the valley can match this place.

You've read the reviews and it seems highly recommended, but you get there and standing outside you wonder, "What have I got myself into?" Don't worry, when you walk through the door, you think, "Oh, I get it now!" They have done a great job with a small space. It is obvious they are more concerned with quality than quantity. The tables are spaced well so you feel you have plenty of room. The service was extremely professional and efficient. We had ravioli, chicken marsala and iolio. The ravioli was al dente and did remind me of my great aunts. The marsala had great flavor. I would not order the iolio again, not much flavor and pasta cooked too much. Those of you that know me, know I judge Italian places by their meatballs. I ordered one of theirs in marinara, both of which, I have to say, AMAZING. I did overhear there was a new guy in the kitchen which is probably the difference between 4 and 5 stars. The punk had pasta with butter, which she loved, but is was the bread she really enjoyed. I would love to try this place again, they have all the right components to be 5 star great.

Great food, excellent service and met Sammy and his chef. All of this rolled into a fantastic dining experience. We are visiting from San Diego and checked Sammy's place out. We enjoyed it so much that we returned later in the week for another great meal. Try it, you'll love it!
