      This is now my favorite Italian restaurant. I LOOOOOVE Italian food, and it's so hard to find a really good Italian restaurant with good eats and great service. This place has both.

      I highly recommend ordering the Ciao Bread for your starter, because it's delish!

      Everything on the menu is amazing, so you honestly can't go wrong. When you're done with dinner, try the Flourless Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream. MMM-MMM-Good!

      Love this spot, for sure!

      2.5 stars. Bare average food, near fine dining price but not that spectacular flavor, ordered 2 main entrees and they had the same sauce even though they are completely different dishes, lacking some seasoning.

      Service decent, a little slow but got things done.

      This Italian restaurant is in The District at Tustin. The atmosphere is wonderful (we sat outside) and I got the steak salad, perfectly cooked to medium rare. The pears and candied nuts pair well with the balsamic dressing. I also got the garlic bread with marinara, which was freshly baked and quite good (not super garlicky though). My friend got the salmon, and I tried a piece -- it was very well made. The service was wonderful -- they were very attentive but also gave us space to chat. Overall, I'd come again!

      The food here is delicious! I wish I took more pictures to share. The restaurant has a regular dining area and dining in the bar area too.
      Came here on a Sunday night. The place was pretty empty, which I'm surprised considering how delicious and authentic their food tastes!
      I ordered the Seafood Marinara and the pasta was cooked perfect - Al dente and you can tell that their pasta is fresh.
      We also tried the side of bread (additional $4) but it was worth the price, we ordered more! It's fresh garlic bread with cheese on top served with a marinara dipping sauce.
      Service was great, even though our waiter was a little confused and there was miscommunication about still wanting our appetizer.

      So, I went to Prego for my birthday dinner, thinking "new place, new vibes." Turns out, not my best choice. The whole experience was just average, and honestly, a bit below average. The dishes were kind of meh, which was a letdown.
      Props where they're due - the service was on point, and the restaurant itself looked pretty snazzy. Like, they've got all the ingredients for a five-star joint, but the dishes just didn't hit the mark. Prego, you've got the setup; now, let's level up those flavors!

      Another one falls through the cracks :(

      I expected so much from this place knowing that it holds a high standard of taste and the reviews were so good. But I was wrong!!

      I even had a reservation for a prime time dinner. The restaurant seemed barely occupied with one host at the front. We got seated immediately at a booth. No trouble there. The server came over a bit later and got our food orders. The food took a while but we didn't complain-- then came the weird beef carpaccio. The sauce was all over the what seemed to be canned/deli ham that was slabbed onto the plate. Smelled pretty bad. Plus the tuna sauce on top smelled like cat food :( so sad..

      When we had raised concerns about the quality of the carpaccio the server came over and argued that this is what it's supposed to be like and asked us if we ever had beef carpaccio. And how many times we had it before. It was quite rude how he handled the situation as to questioning us about the menu item. It wasn't what we expected and the taste was completely disappointing. There was also no pictures of this type of beef carpaccio anywhere on yelp.

      Bad communications in service and disappointing in the ways that they handle complaints here.

      Two stars for the Short rib pasta -- it was the best thing here. The meat inside the pasta was soft and hot.

      Came in on Tequila Thursday and got helped by Kelsey!! Aka our kickass waitress!

      My best friend and I got:
      -short rib pasta
      -Parmesan broccolini
      -calamari

      Calamari was super fresh with just the right crunch on the outside and wasn't too oily!

      Short rib pasta was extremely flavorful- would recommend.

      Parmesan broccolini was to be expected and a nice, healthy side dish.

      We loved our Cadillac margaritas ($10!).

      Would forsure come back again!
