Great location if you’re attending a concert or show nearby Civic Center. We reserved a table for 9 and they were willing to accommodate an extra person last minute. The food is great and they have a Special Menu on top of the regular menu. All the pastas were delicious. Drinks and wine were good as well. My friend complained about the waitress not answering a question regarding mixed drinks when she asked what’s the difference between 2 drinks. Besides that I felt it was all good. Place is a little hot during summer. They only have one ceiling fan working. Place looked clean. One bathroom only but it was well stocked and clean.
What a great place! We tried Operacaffe because it's across from the Balboa Theater but we'll come back for the cuisine. Everything was delicious! We started with a special bruschetta; it was great and things only got better. Salads were crispy and fresh. Lasagna is made with bechamel, not tomato sauce, so it's incredibly rich and the meat flavors dominate. We also tried the handmade spinach and cheese ravioli. Delicious! So good we forgot to take pictures!
Looking forward to our next visit. Maybe we'll have time for dessert!
The cuisine at this place is truly exceptional! We tried the truffle ravioli from the special menu and the Maine lobster ravioli, both of which were absolutely outstanding. The Opera pizza, our appetizer, was also delightful. However, it's worth noting that the atmosphere was more casual than expected, as mentioned by previous reviewers. While it didn't detract from the overall experience, it's advisable to dress for a more laid-back outing, despite the high quality of the food.
