10.31.24 This is a pretty good local Italian restaurant. I've visited this restaurant a couple of times before but first time providing my review. No problems finding a place to park. Customer service was pretty good tonight and all the other times I've been here. My friend and I had calamari, veal piccata, and rigatoni pasta - all very good! Veal piccata came with a side of pasta. There was also yummy bread and yummier butter. House Chardonnay was perfect. I have absolutely no experience to speak of on running a restaurant but I have to say the owners here are doing a very good job on food and customer service. Customers keep coming back👏

The chicken had a chewy texture, and unfortunately, the sauce was overcooked. While the waiter tried their best and was friendly, they made a few mistakes that you wouldn’t expect from an upscale restaurant. The interior ambiance was okay, but sitting outside was a better experience, although still not exceptionally special. We enjoyed people-watching and browsing nearby shops.

Had a terrific lunch today at Joe's in Ladera Ranch. Kristen, our server was professional, knowledgeable, and a beautiful person who provided stellar service. The ambiance was upbeat and positive, and the restaurant and bar were meticulous. We started with drinks, and the bread and olive oil which were so tasty. My wife ordered the Halibut with pasta and steamed veggies, and I had an antipasta salad with a side of one meatball and one sausage. Everything was tasty and served hot. We took two orders of meatballs and an order of Lina rolls home with us. We plan on coming back as the menu selection is vast and the pizzas look amazing. Thanks to Kristen and the other staff members who provided quality service and food!
Highly recommended

Wonderful dining experience -seafood sampler was delicious and plentiful (took more than half home). Our waiter was spectacular. It was a bit noisy due to a huge birthday celebration seated next to us but what a fabulous place for them to all celebrate!

Excellent restaurant. We had friends along and had a good sample of the dishes.
Lasagna, penne and meat sauce plus sausage, baked ravioli, and gnocchi.
All excellent.
5 layer chocolate cake shared 4 ways for dessert.
Outside seating was available, but we were seated inside by choice. Good spacing for the seating. We have covi d concerns.
The outside seating is permanent, not just pandemic.
We got here at open and when we left it was busy, great to see. Staff all attentive and great.
Highly recommended
