  Best food I've had in Manteca hands down. Staff was amazing! Chef Gino even came out to check on us, and made a special homemade Mango Gelato to end the experience. Will definitely becoming a regular. This place is beyond 5 stars!

  A fantastic little place, its fancy, its not cheap, but the food is on par with the atmosphere and price. If you can afford it, its a must. We had the Lobster Bisque, Lobster Ravioli, chicken pesto, and split a Ravioli everything we tasted was fantastic.

  Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff. The concern is location and parking. Parking on the street or sign direct you that parking is located in a very sketchy motel lot. Homeless person was wandering in front, whi seemed to be watching. Maybe to potentially ask for money, but ut eas an uncomfortable situation. Restaurant is sounded by mobile home park and hotel.

  We have been here 2x, dinner and lunch. Our first time was dinner and would have given 5 stars. The food was delicious! Spaghetti sauce is amazing, bread hot and soft, and salad crisp and so tasty! The service was great! Lunch.. well if I could give 0 stars I would! There were 2 people working, 1 was the chef. It took so long for the waiter to take our order and we had to ask 2x for bread. When we got bread it was not warm, hard stale crust and heavy texture. Not good at all. Not the same bread we were served for dinner. We ordered the exact same as we did for dinner . It took very long to get our meal. The spaghetti came out first. I had to ask 2x for my salad. I ate all my spaghetti and still had to wait for my salad. When I finally got it, it looked like it was just thrown on a plate. It tasted nothing like the salad I had for dinner even though it was suppose to be the same salad. The lettuce didn’t taste good, and many were wilted. I told the waiter and he said oh, smiled and walked away. We were never checked on. When we received the bill I asked to take the salad off. They did and gave us gelato on the house. That was nice but the entire experience was so disappointing as our first visit was so wonderful. They absolutely need more staff for lunch. The waiter was all over the place and the chef was behind the bar at times. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the spaghetti was delicious!
