Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Last week, we gathered for a delightful end-of-year luncheon to celebrate my division team! I chose the two-course lunch special for $21.95, which included the mouthwatering Venetian Caesar and the flavorful Venetian Spaghetti Lenticchie. Each bite transported me straight back to the charming “Pane e Salame” restaurant I visited years ago in Rome. The authentic Italian flavors and perfect portion sizes made this meal truly unforgettable!
I had a Travelzoo to come here. Love that Travelzoo can introduce ppl to some great places. My friend and I had lunch here. It's a cute place and they have valet. We had some bubbly to start. We order 3 starters. The soup of the day was Bell pepper soup which was really good! The grilled calamari was amazing & tender. The salad had grilled grapes which were nice. The 2 pasta dishes were good. Mine had lentils and hers was spicy. The sole dish was very good! Always my fave part is the sorbet which was refreshing. We had lemon, raspberry & mango. The service was outstanding. Our server was attentive, funny, kind & treated us well. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area. Only issue I had was because it was humid there were flying little bugs around.
The gorgonzola truffle gnocchi was delicious, as was the molten chocolate dessert! Service was wonderful, and the place is cute. Parking around the neighborhood is rough - they have valet parking, definitely suggest it.
This restaurant has been here for a long time and it’s traditional Italian food or as close as I know it to be. Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious and the service here was fantastic. Our server was very accommodating when we asked for a side of vegetables that was not on the menu, but they still made it perfectly for us and you can tell that it wasn’t a bunch of stuff thrown together, but that the chef actually out in effort to cook it properly. The complementary bread came with a pesto sauce, which is the first time that I’ve encountered that. But it was absolutely delicious, the sauce and the texture of the bread. They also brought out an off the menu cake for us when we had told them ahead of time that it was my birthday. I absolutely loved this restaurant and would definitely come back again. The ambience and decor is very nice too.
Just happened to be walking down the street while visiting LA and spontaneously found this gem with great reviews. SOOOO glad we ate here!! On entry, the servers greeted us with such a fun and warm welcome. The food came out fast and everything was unique and DELICIOUS!! Every server was jovial and attentive - such a refreshing and fun experience, making the meal even more memorable! I have never rated any place 5/5 for everything, but this place really topped the charts and made our day! Special shout out to Jon-Marc (I hope that's his name) for really making it a special experience! 😁 Would definitely come back to try every dish! 100% recommend to anyone in LA!
