Puglia - Blue Jay

We tried Puglia to celebrate our anniversary, and we're profoundly glad we did. I truly believe the cannelloni was the best meal I've ever had. I don't claim to be an expert, but the diversity of flavors in that meal was nothing short of amazing ! And then topping it off with tiramisu flambe, what an experience. Only problem is the standard is now set, I don't know that I'll ever find another meal so perfect. Truly wonderful !

We absolutely loved it! As Italian food enthusiasts who've savored authentic Italian cuisine, this restaurant is the real deal. Unlike the usual American-Italian fare, their dishes transported us straight to Italy, and the gracious service left a lasting impression. A special thank you to Davide Patrick for your warm hospitality! I enjoyed the lobster ravioli, which was delightful, especially with the white wine sauce (no cream!). The pasta was handmade and perfectly delicate. The sausage and meat ragù was equally delicious, and you simply can't miss the flambé classic tiramisu dessert. The guitarist/singer added to the ambiance, making for a truly memorable five-star experience. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return!

I'm a local and was hesitant to try because people said they where expensive. Well, I finally tried it and was pleasantly surprised. Wasn't overly pricey, and the food is amazing, and flavorful. Will definitely go back. Because we didn't order wine, they wanted to hurry and flip our table. We barely finished eating and they wanted to rush us out. Other than that, was great experience.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST EXPERIENCE! I visited without my wife, and it turned out to be the most flavorful Italian restaurant I've ever been to! I'm VERY IMPRESSED! It's a cozy spot with a fireplace and authentic ITALIANS working there (their accents definitely add to the vibe). We EXPECTED a place that might try too hard with overly complex flavors, but WOW—each of us ordered different dishes to share, and every single one delighted our taste buds. We live 80 minutes away, but we're definitely coming back; otherwise, my wife won't let me hear the end of it! The only reason I can say it was the WORST is because the experience would have been perfect if my wife had been there with me!

The food is exceptional—truly the best Italian cuisine in Southern California! The staff, who are family-owned, are friendly, engaging, and wonderful to interact with. We had a large group, but we hardly noticed, which speaks to their timely and professional service. Thank you for the unforgettable memories!
