“ We LOVE Nuovo Amico!! Since the new owner took over we have been several times and each time it gets better! Mindy and Javier are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and we just love how they make all their guests feel right at home. The pizza rolls, baked mushrooms and charcuterie boards make for the BEST take out (girl) dinner in town!!! Stop by and see what’s on the menu! ”

Low prices especially considering California, and no sacrifice to the food quality: I got their spicy honey pizza and it’s AMAZING! My wife had their lasagna and it is INCREDIBLE! We will absolutely be back on our next trip. ”
