This historic house, erected at the turn of the century was converted into a delightful restaurant in the early 1980s by the Romano family and is conveniently located in the heart of Julian's downtown.

Here, intimate conversations are enhanced by a low key setting with traditional red and white checkered tablecloths, soft lighting and candles. Adjacent to the dining room is a cocktail lounge; perfect for an evening drink. Patio seating, under the stars, is seasonal and diners are bathed in the fragrance of spring flowers.

The old world cooking is stylish and plentiful. All selections are made on the premises and feature traditional Italian dishes as well as innovative specialties. Whether your mood is for

• spicy apple cider sausage
• pork loin in cinnamon, garlic and whiskey sauce
• halibut in florentine sauce

or the more traditional Italian fare of pastas and pizza, you will not be dissapointed. As a finale, share a tiramisu or a sinful mocha cream.
Compliment your lunch or dinner with a selection from our wine list, featuring wines from Italy, Napa Valley and... Julian.  Surprised you will be with the quality of our local wines!

Stan and Paula, the owners, invite you to share in their bounty.   They open their doors daily (except Tuesdays) from 11:30 am till 8:30pm.

Stay late on Saturday nights and enjoy music in the bar until 11pm.   Reservations are recommended all year, but most particularly during the Fall and Winter seasons.

Credit cards are accepted.
