This Italian restaurant on Main Street in Morgen hill is amazing. especially the Gnocchi, it has pear inside, which is refreshing and tasty. The Halibut was wrapped in Prosciutto, good match with tender fish . Lemon cream pie is the best ! Great service !

Omg, the most excellent dinner I've ever had. Ok, let's break it down. The waiters are amazing, very on it, and friendly. The first thing to come to the table was this lovely oil with garlic, with fresh bread. Smash the garlic on the bread, add a little oil, and OMG. Amazing. Then we got the stuffed eggplant for our appetizer. The way the tomato sauce dances on my tongue with this creamy eggplant, cheesy deliciousness. I could have stopped there, but no. We got the pork chop pasta dish with the aruguled topped with the balsamic dressing drizzle. Hands down the best meal I've ever eaten. The balsamic pears so nicely with that char grill chop. This pork chop was so juicy that it made my mouth water. And the pasta. What can I say? The creamyness with the cheese just melts in your mouth. Amazing

We went to celebrate a birthday, and everything tasted quite good! I personally loved their Bistecca Quattro Formaggio and the Tortellini con Prosciutto. The appetizers were pretty amazing too. The Calamari Fritti with lemon, sweet basil syrup, and spicy tomato sauce were delicious and well-portioned. The Burrata con Prosciutto, with fresh burrata cheese, prosciutto, sun-dried tomato pesto, and crostini, was a delightful start to the meal. Of all the pastas we tried, the Fettuccine al Pescatore was just ok compared to the others, so I'd skip this one. However, the Tortellini con Prosciutto, cheese-filled tortellini with mushrooms, prosciutto, spinach, and cream sauce was absolutely fantastic! The Bistecca Quattro Formaggio was another standout, with a rich, creamy flavor that was simply irresistible.

Food here was good. We enjoyed bruschetta and caramelized onion starters. There were very few vegetarian options for pasta and the Alfredo pasta wasn’t that good. The lemon tart with ice cream was really good too. Overall a nice experience!

Food was steaming hot when it reached our table. Certainly no microwave used at this restaurant.

Had our 23rd anniversary lunch here and it was great! Quaint Italian restaurant. We had wine, seafood linguine and halibut. Impeccable service and food was delicious! We topped our lunch off with the bread pudding dessert. Yuuuuuummmy! One of the best Italian restaurants in the south bay.

The food and the service were great. The staff was very attentive. The restaurant is small and tables are set close yet the seating still felt intimate and not overly noisy. We will be back!
