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.
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.
Excellent restaurant with amazing staff. High quality authentic Italian food that continues to excite my taste buds even tho I’ve been a regular for years. The lamb shank is to die for (May want to share) and the bread with their house dipping pesto sauce is unbelievably tasty. The pear tart is unbelievably light and delicious. Highly recommend whenever it’s available Their bread and spinach dip is to die for. You’ll be addicted to it
An absolute pleasure dining in this lovely restaurant, food is beyond perfection. I absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic food… I huge respect to chef 🧑🍳 Gustavo for his dedication in the kitchen!!
Best Italian restaurant in LA.
I could imagine myself at a small animated restaurant in Italy where locals gather and guffaw til late afternoon, and find such hearty and cheery meals. In reality, thanks for the reassuring and confident recommendation of our host, we settled on the following without too much difficulty: The burrata was suffused with the pleasant diary aroma/sweetness, and the ultra-thin carpaccio nevertheless relayed the tenderness and flavor of beef perfectly. Also really liked the fresh arugula, which showed no trace of the usual bitterness. Our expectation for the entrees was certainly elevated after these appetizers - and we were not a bit disappointed! More than its fantastic coloration, the ravioli brought you with the sea - the concentrated umami from lobster and squid hoisted waves in your mouth. What about the lamb shank - as my companion accurately remarked, you didn’t need the knife (which was quite sharp) in order to enjoy it - tender, juicy, and very masterfully seasoned. As for the dessert, next time!
