Irvine is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Irvine follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

One should not overlook the Caesar salad accompanied by a fly. Fly protein is quite wholesome and provides excellent nutritional value.

A nice restaurant with lots of different selections, from pizza to pasta and entrees, salads, sandwiches, and appetizers. The drink menu is very extensive too. The pizzas are pretty creative and taste good, but can be a bit dry. There is lots of seating available but during busy times there can still be a wait. The service is very good and the interior is clean. The take home pizza for $9 is great value.

Hi Everyone β€” Merry Christmas !! I’m writing this review with an intention that it will reach to wider audiences and will help people to take a decision before visiting this place. I went to this place around December’ 2025 along with my daughter to celebrate daddy-daughter’s day and Overall our experience was pretty average! Let me take call out all areas separately: Service (4/5) β€” We interacted with 2 people mainly at the restaurant. Servers β€” she was very nice and well mannered. Front desk/counter β€” she was kind of rude and not at all respectful. Atmosphere (3/5) β€” Pretty average atmosphere, nothing to call out. It needs lot of renovation work to be carried out. Food (3/5) β€” We ordered (a) Kungpao Spaghetti (b) Salmon Piccata and both the dishes were just average and salt was also not adequate. I kindly request the management to look into this and improve the overall customer experience. Fyi : I visited this place before also and it was much better from service and food standpoint. I don’t know if something has majorly changed chefs or management. All the best !!

Food was good overall, but my pizza came out a bit cold. The flavors were still great, and the place has a nice atmosphere. Service was friendly and helpful, just a little slow. I’d still go backβ€”just hoping for hotter pizza next time.

The first thing I tried was the sangria flight, and it was great. I swapped out the olive oil for butter that goes with the breadβ€” both were really good. Next, I got a pepperoni pizza. I had no complaints and took half of it home (it's 6 slices and is enough for 2 people). For dessert, I tried some of the butter cake and chocolate cake. The butter cake was perfect and moist. The chocolate cake was very small and didn't have much flavor, but the chocolate syrup kind of makes up for. I love the vanilla ice cream that came with the desserts. Service was a bit slow, but it was super busy that day. We had to wait 15-20 minutes for seating. There's other great restaurants nearby, and the movie theater is close by. There's a big fountain and grass area to sit at and relax nearby, as well.
