​Found this place by chance while looking for lunch and realized they just opened three weeks ago. I’m so glad I stopped in! I had the linguine bolognese special and it was delicious—the meatballs were so juicy and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

​Great service throughout the meal, and it was a nice surprise to have the chef come out to say hello and ask how everything was. This would be a perfect spot for a special occasion. Highly recommend giving them a try!

An absolutely amazing experience. The restaurant staff were very professional while being helpful and personable. The food was outstanding, and worth the cost. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. This is a spot that I would recommend.

We had such a great evening. I ordered the beef tenderloin, my husband had the carbonara and my daughter pizza. We all started with the caesar salad, which was pleasantly unique, It had massive capers, parm and bacon crisps. My beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly, the carbonara was great and the pizza easily made my top three for me (pizza is my fav so that says a lot!) Laura took great care of us and so many of the staff greeted us and were very friendly. I was looking forward to trying the lemon cheese cake with a coffee from their fancy machine but I was too full – We will be back and can’t wait to also try the calamari and lamb! Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Excellent meal tonight for the family and I. Caprese Salad, Aranchini and meatballs for starters. Caprese and Aranchini were especially good. Mains, were chicken supreme, beef tenderloin steak, Margherita pizza and a linguine carbonara. A really great meal and Nik, our waiter, was very friendly and attentive. Smaller spot so i would recomend reservations. Lots of parking in Avenida. We will be going back soon.

We met friends out Here for dinner the other night. We had never heard of this place before as we live in a different quadrant of the city. We were super impressed with the service, food, and everything about this restaurant. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!

My friends and I went to La Torino on Saturday night for our first time. I had heard earlier in the day and it turns out it was a very good thing to have done. Otherwise we would’ve been waiting quite a while as it was a very busy night. The waiter knew what he was doing. The menu was very Italian (good thing for an Italian restaurant in my opinion) with everything sounding so delicious. Started our meals with focaccia Caesar salad and calamari, and it was all so good. Two of us had the seafood fettuccine and two of us had the pumpkin ravioli, and we all agreed the meals were wonderful and then dinner ended at dessert which we did not have room, but we ordered the lemon cheesecake and the cannoli and it was just delicious also. All in all, it was a most enjoyable evening – there were a couple hiccups with timing, but it was a very busy evening and it was easily forgiven. The chef/owner came out and apologized for the small wait and to check and make sure that we enjoyed our meals which we did and we appreciated it. We will be back.

First time at the restaurant. I had the chef’s special pasta – linguine with clams – it was delicious. My friend had the pizza with fennel and apple – she loved it. Tiramisu was delightful. Wine list was good, nice to see the focus on Italian wines only. It was nice to see a one page menu – more focused. My only criticism is the banquet seat was uncomfortable – needed more cushioning. The chairs however were very comfortable. Also the staff were very friendly. I’ll be back.

As someone who is extremely fussy when it comes to meatballs, I don’t say this lightly: the meatballs here were absolute perfection. They were tender, flavorful, and tasted like they came straight from an Italian kitchen. It is rare to find such high-quality, authentic cuisine that lives up to the hype. The food was matched only by the incredible service. Nichola was wonderful—professional, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. Nichola truly went above and beyond to make sure our experience was seamless. If you want authentic flavors and a staff that genuinely cares about your experience, this is the place to go. I’ll be dreaming about those meatballs until my next visit!
