The Scene
Couples and families dine in a high-ceilinged, lively room with walls covered in kitschy decor. Stuffed trapeze artists hang suspended in midair, old wine bottles and olive-oil tins line the walls, and three-dimensional neighborhood scenes transplant diners to Italy. Servers are efficient and friendly, but are not well versed in the nuances of the menu.
The Food
Appetizer and entree portions are generous enough to share between two people. Starters include large, crispy calamari served with a zesty, but thin, tomato sauce. Traditional homemade pastas are loaded with cheese. The cannelloni--stuffed pasta with meat, spinach and ricotta cheese--is accented with a tart ragu sauce. The hand-stuffed, pillowy tortellini is pungent and bold with its combination of ricotta, Romano and Gorgonzola cheeses. A popular dessert option is the decadent tiramisu, which delivers the pleasant bitterness of espresso and rich, creamy texture of mascarpone.

My husband and I was visisting Fullerton and our daughter who goes to CSU Fullerton took us to this place. The decor was horrible. The wall were loaded with crazy looking stuff and it gives me a huge head ache just looking at it. The furnitures were horrible. Chairs were torn. The tables are too close to each other you literally can smell the breath of the people sitting in the other table. The food were horrible. Large portion, I agree, but the pasta were blah. Breads were okay. The pizza crust tasted like cardboard. I don't recommend this place if you are looking for a real Italian taste. Service were okay. The place look dirty.

My husband and I have eaten here about 15 times. We've brought friends and family with us as well. Always great service and even better food. Parking is never a problem. Can't think of a time when we were disapointed. They do have great pizza but they also have a huge menu with lots of amazing food. We love this place ! We'll make the 1/2 drive anytime at a moments notice!!

I have been to my fair share of Italian food chains, holes in the wall etc. This place clearly is above all of them! The pizza is fantastic and full of cheese! The pasta is served up with huge portions (enough to take home for a second meal). I absolutely love their Alfredo sauce! The bread is homemade tasting and awesome and fresh! They have good prices. I always take my guest here to show off this hidden treasure and make them a fan as well! I just booked my wedding there because the atmosphere is amazing. So much history in this place. It makes eating here fun! I have always had good service as well. I highly recommend this place. I am italian myself and LOVE IT! I have been here probably hundreds of times to say the least and nothing compares!
