“Quick and tasty food. My husband had the salmon tacos, we were both skeptical about them but he claims they are some of the best tacos he has ever had. I had a blur and we shared some delicious garlic bread. Very cute small Italian restaurant very relaxed and affordable.”
— Adelina Tellez★★★★★
“Stopped in for a nice lunch with my wife while visiting family. Busy but no line or wait. As always food was delivered with a smile & tasted excellent. Enjoyed the italian sub with eggplant fries. Im a sub sandwich conisour & the bread makes or break a good sandwich. This place gets its just right. Fresh french roll, meat you can taste, not overly done with lettuce & sauces. Perfect! The eggplant fries with a side of hot Maranara was delicious. Breaded with just the right amount of crispness. Always full filling.”

“Meridians is a local pizza establishment in the Ventura area that we visit. Normally our meals are satisfying. However on this visit I ordered the romano pizza with pesto sauce...it looked great but it was very, very oily. Next time, I'll stick to the tried and true margarita pizza.”
