In Short – This SoCal mini-chain uses blond-wood tables, cheery primary-colored details and piped-in hits from Sinatra to Armstrong to bring new meaning to the phrase "happy meal." Families and low-key diners are endlessly plied with herb-encrusted focaccia and olive oil. Wood-fired pizzas are topped with California-style ingredients (bean sprouts, Asiago cheese). Other Americanized Italian fare includes lunchtime favorites like finely chopped salads and dinner entrees such as grilled salmon with artichoke relish and a slate of seasonal pasta dishes.

This quaint but alluring trattoria is perfect for anyone in the mood for italian dining. It's inexpensive, cozy, and very inviting. I would recomend this restaurant to the guys that want to show a "bella ragazza" a wonderful time.
