We had a lovely dining experience at Rubino's. She had the Penne Putenesca, which was blessed with a very rich flavorful marinara sauce, while I had the Chicken Picatta, the chicken was breaded lightly and soaked up that wonderful lemon sauce and the capers just topped it off perfectly. Then the dessert came and oh my limoncello cake and tiramisu with Italian sodas.

Absolutely amazing! My mother and I went here on a whim and we adored it. Our waitress was nice and knew exactly what we wanted before we had to ask her! We ordered two drinks (chocolate martini and strawberry lemon drop) which were strong, but good. For food, we ordered the fried zucchini sticks, the sole, shrimp scampi and lemon cake. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and delicious. The portions were a great size and for a treat yourself night, this place is just what you need

Traditional Italian restaurant with a bar, dark paneling and booths. Wonderful menu with good variety. I had the chicken, cooked in wine with rosemary and garlic butter. Excellent mushroom risotto.

We’ve been here twice. I love the atmosphere with dim light and very nice instrumental music in the background. Service is awesome. I wish I remembered our server’s name. I ordered the beef ravioli with pesto cream. And as a too-much-Asian person, it’s incredibly good!! I didnt expect that coming. The carrot soup of the day is okay for me. However for desserts, I recalled the creme brulee was delicious but today I’ve tried the tiramisu. I was a little disappointed. The mascarpone was yummy but the cake itself was soggy which you can tell it was dip in too much coffee.

Very nice dining experience. Great service and food. I had the cheese ravioli. It was the best I've had. Calamari appetizer is the best around town hands down.

Best thin crust pizza I have found in Calif. We had 3 different chicken dinners (Parm, Piccata, Marsala) and all were excellent. Cooked to order as they say, and Chris, the owner, tries to make the rounds to speak/check in with diners, and that was appreciated. Quiet, appropriate music for an old-school (I mean that in a good way) Italian restaurant.
