Get ready to have fun. Gaetano Cicciotti has created one of the best Italian Dining experiences in Southern California.

Shuttered Craftsman Architecture… you’ll think you are in Hana… or maybe Southern Italy… looking out over the coast. Cool Ocean Breezes… light … bright… and always cheerful.

It has a wonderful feel of casual elegance… and the service is excellent.

The menu is a joy to read… and the food is an even greater joy. Quality fresh ingredients… prepared to perfection.

The full bar is beautiful… and will become one of your favorite watering holes.

Try one of the tempting appetizers… bruschetta, baked artichoke hearts, steamed asparagus with prosciutto and mozzarella, crab cakes, carpaccio, or calamari fritti… and there are others.

The your main-course choice will be from a couple of dozen pastas or chicken, veal, seafood and beef entrées, and don’t forget those terrific, paper-thin gourmet pizzas. Among the highlights are Penne Arrabiata (tube pasta in spicy sauce), a spaghetti dish made with crab and shrimp called Due Golfi, Ravioli D’Aragosta (lobster), Gnocchi Gorgonzola or the linguini with tiger shrimp in spicy sauce.

There are five chicken dishes, including a superb Pollo Marsala (sautéed with mushrooms and marsala wine sauce). The veal selections include Saltimbocca alla Romana w/prosciutto, sage, mozzarella and white wine sauce).

Always check the fresh fish and daily special menu, which usually includes an incredible version of osso buco.
