Food was amazing at this place. Definitely good Italian food with amazing pasta. Bolognese was on point and wild def come back for it. The wine flight was also extremely worth it for 20$
We did have an interesting encounter with the waitress. Might be having a bad day which cause a bad attitude. Regardless, didn’t let that ruin our meal.

Best Italian food in Los Angeles!! Been coming here for years. All authentic and delicious. Great prices and very nice environment. It's casual and yet you can still dress up. Super perfect for a date night or a night with family/friends. The staff is friendly and makes you want to keep coming back. I love a place in the neighborhood that gives you a sense of community! I will keep coming back here time and time again. The food is delicious and so is the wine!! Seriously the best. I have a hard time deciding on what to order because I want to eat everything! I went to Italy and was disappointed in the food at some restaurants. I seriously thought it was better in LA here at this restaurant. That’s how good it is. Bon appetito!

Luigi was a perfect waiter. Recommended a great sweet white wine that I really enjoyed. I was on a date and he picked this spot. Very authentic Italian food, staff, and atmosphere. I had the linguini and muscles (not pictured) that was very good, they offer a big serving so you could share if wanted. My date had the gnocchi and let me sample b/c I never had it. It was also very good. Extensive wine list too!

My favorite Italian restaurant in Los Angeles! I’ve been here several times. The service is exceptional! This time we had the Bisteccona and Pappardelle Verdi. The steak had a unique and distinct flavor. Cooked to perfection. The Pappardelle were perfectly al dente and in a delicious creamy sauce. The wine bottle we ordered was amazing. They have a great selection of wines here. For dessert we had the Strudel which was very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant. Meter parking is available as well as valet parking.

First off, huge menu. The meal starts with a complimentary focaccia bread, which was delicious. We ordered the Spaghettone $38 (La Molisana Spaghetti in Fresh Maine Lobster San Marzano Tomato Sauce) and Reginette Della Mamma $25 (Guanciale, Sausage, Radicchio, Cream Sauce). We happened to have restaurant hopped and ate appetizers at a restaurant next door and ended up here for dinner because we were craving pasta.
The price and portions of the pasta makes this place pretty incredible. Food came out in a skillet, what an awesome presentation! This lobster pasta has to be the best I've had out of all the other lobster pasta dishes. Pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked, and the sauce was a delightful balance of depth and flavor. Honestly, I'm still thinking about this dish. The Reginette Della Mamma pasta was creamy and rich, another favorite. My partner ordered this dish and does not like sausages but was a huge fan of this dish - definitely a traditional Italian style!
Will be back to try the squid ink pasta!

“Wow” was the most repeated word of the evening. We visited thanks to Buzzfeed’s great show “Worth It” - but wow the flavors were explosive, yet well melded into each dish. If we lived in the area we’d immediately become regulars.
Grilled calamari salad - great lemon dressing on the arugula, beautiful large portion of calamari
Amatrciana - tomato Smokey deliciousness
Gnocchi ‘truccioli’ - with porcini, cream, and Burrata. Almost a religious experience, quite rich, but if you’re prepared for it, just Wow.
Extensive, very well curated, wine list is not to be missed! Filippo, the wonderful Somelier absolutely knows his stuff, and Nick our waiter was awesome, very attentive but not too present (which is an art form).
Not to be outshone, really tremendous tiramisu, chocolate mousse cake, and gelato (we had to take most home). Best Italian we’ve had in or outside of Italy in years. Gratzie, we’ll be back!

Went for lunch with a company. Great vibes, friendly staff. Chairs creaked, but that's just a nitpick. Would highly recommend. The food was very well flavored and filling. :)

I've eaten there twice, and both times were on the patio. I imagine that the main portion of the restaurant provides more of an ambiance. Otherwise, the food (appetizers and entrees) was very rich. I was surprised by how flavorful the trucioli ai funghi was.

I really enjoyed coming here. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The ambience was very relaxed. I was so happy to see all the varieties of wine they had. The pastas were so fresh and delicious as well. Very nice experience. Looking forward to coming back. There were a few things on the menu I am looking forward to trying.
The tiramisu...omg.

My new favorite Italian spot! Got a last minute reservation early in the evening for Valentines day and had an amazing time. The house red wine was great, highly recommend getting the carafe. Our waiter was very nice and attentive even when it started to get busy and gave great recommendations. Both of our pastas were delicious. By far the best part of the meal though was the Tiramisu! Will be returning for sure.
