The food was great. Me and my date can be picky at times. It was a nice relaxed environment. The drinks hit well for a nice buzz. And the customer service was top tier. I would recommend this for a nice dinner date or lunch with friends.

The staff at this charming Italian gem was incredibly attentive, ensuring our every need was met with a warm smile. They guided us through the menu with expertise and made our dining experience truly exceptional. The flavors of Italy truly come alive in every dish. The homemade pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were a delightful blend of freshness and authentic Italian spices. Every bite was a journey through the heart of Italy. The cozy and romantic atmosphere of this restaurant set the perfect stage for a delightful evening. The soft lighting, rustic décor, and gentle Italian music created an ambiance that whisked us away to a quaint Italian village. A truly enchanting experience.

I had the most fantastic dining experience at this Italian restaurant! The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well-cared for. The food was out of this world; the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the flavors were exquisite. The ambiance was romantic and cozy, making it an ideal spot for a date night. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

A bit too loud due to Old sciatica and typical loud eaters and bar people hard to have a conversation but food is amazing albeit not too healthy it is yummy. I like carbs but it was a bit too much carb laden and veggies were just not so super healthy , seldom do I have issue digesting food but it was a bit too unhealthy for me as I am more of a super organic and vegetable based diet.

Tried this place with a group for the first time last Saturday and everyone in the group was extremely satisfied! We all got pasta and loved our dishes and even some good gluten free pastas(not all dishes available gluten free, but most pastas are). My short rib ravioli with white sauce was fantastic, and adding a picture of it to show how it looks

Had lunch here and was absolutely blown away with how delicious it was! Pictured is the short rib ravioli, bolognese, and the brown butter and sage tagliatelle. Extremely fresh and the flavors were phenomenal. The two favorites in particular was the short rib ravioli and the bolognese. 10/10! Highly recommend!!!

Good, but not great Italian restaurant. The food is tasty, but isn't quite traditional (ie there shouldn't be cream in the cacio e pepe recipe, the ragù was too sweet). The staff is very friendly and the place modern and well decorated (loved the helmets!).

Amazing pasta, appreciate the hasty service but maybe ease off filling our water and checking if everything is alright every other second! Just leave us be and let us enjoy the food! Can’t wait to return next time I visit LA.
