    Always a reliable choice when we're in the area. Unique, historic location and a great value for a full course meal.

    A classic Italian restaurant located near the Fullerton train station that serves excellent food in more-than-adequate portions. As the name suggests, the pasta dishes are especially good.

    Good food. Definition of side salad is a plate of lettuce with dressing. You can pay $1.50 more for Caesar version with tomatoes and cheese.

    The gluten free pasta is made with white rice, and was really good with mizithra and brown butter!

    You get a drink, salad or soup, entree, & dessert! I always get the Manager's Favorite where you can combine two sauces. I love the meat sauce & mizithra cheese. The broccoli & mizithra is also great

    All time favorite. If you love Ranch TRY the Pesto salad Dressing! Also, you have to get the spumoni, none of this Vanilla at OSF!!!

    Diddilini Pasta with Browned Butter & Mizithra is the reason I smile! Also, the baked chicken is pretty good with the size of pasta. I eat half of my food and take the rest home for the next day. Heat

    Hearty portion of the mizithra so you can take some home, broccoli w/ mizithra is yummy, and the creamy pesto is fantastic!

    Apparently the iced tea is no longer included with the meal, which is not that big of a deal, but since it was basically mild flavored tea water, I'll gladly reserve my buck next time I'm there.
