Review of Lazzari's Italian Restauraunt

If I could put 10 stars on here I would. I cannot ...

If I could put 10 stars on here I would. I cannot explain the incredible experience we had. We were a party of 7 WITHOUT a reservation and from start to finish we were treated like royalty. Mama Lazzaro greeted us and did everything she could to make sure we were happy. Our server Veronica (the daughter of the owners) was an absolute powerhouse. I've worked with servers who work at fine dining Italian restaurant in Irvine, CA where the place pulls in a million dollars a month. Veronica could've knocked some of them on their @$$. And the food was THE BEST AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FOOD I'VE EVER HAD. Mr. Lazzaro is doing something back there but I know it's not from this world. We had some guys who spent overseas time in Italy who said this was better. From the appetizers, to the house bread, the house salads, to the entrees, the drinks, dessert, and the LIMONCELLO. They make darn near everything from scratch and every flavor sinks into your bones. I had the seared scallops which normally comes on risotto but they just ran out so I substituted rigatoni noodles and a "blush" sauce (red/white mix). This dish, along with every other one on the table, was do die for. The kind of first bite that makes your eyes close and chew slowly. Every dessert was amazing but the tiramisu was the best I've ever had and an absolutely incredible creme brulee. The limoncello was made by none other than Mr. Lazzaro himself and it was, as expected, nothing short of perfection. What a wonderful digestif. THANK YOU LAZZARO FAMILY.
