I have eaten at both the Irvine and Del Mar locations of this restaurant countless times, and am never disappointed. If you are looking for a really unique, quiet setting with the best food outside of Italy, this is not the place. If you are looking for consistently good food at good prices with reliable good service, this is the perfect place. The wine list and pasta selection are large and it's a great place for a large group. I've reserved groups of 10-15 at the Irvine location and it's always a success. The servers are accustomed to large groups and it's a big place so you can be talkative and open. The manager always comes up and says hello, how are you, how is everything. You won't even get that a high-priced restaurant with exceptional food. My family and I will continue to go there when in Irvine.
Pros: consistent food, service, prices
