I go with my wife to this lovely spot quite often! This is my favorite spot to grab a bite. I visit this spot routinely. The cooking is fantastic, the crew is courteous and the rates are decent. I enjoy meeting in this restaurant to have a rich meal.

This spot never disappoints. They serve awesome food for reasonable prices, there is no waiting time even when the place is loaded.

This place is worth trying. They serve large portions for convenient rates. Always well kept and with fantastic vibes. Will come visit again.

I cannot say enough about Sfixio. We went for my birthday in a group that (mid-pandemic) was eager for a meal out. Not only was the owner extremely accommodating for my group, from start to finish she made us feel that they were happy to have us.Once we arrived, we had great wine recommendations. The cocktails were strong and tasty. The appetizers were incredible. The steak carpaccio with truffle and caviar was excellent. Everyone's entrees were great as well. I highly recommend the ravioli or the veal scaloppine. For dessert we ordered chocolate cake and Panna Cotta. I will for sure be back, but the service above all else made this a stellar birthday and I'm very appreciative! Thank you!

Sfixio is my favorite Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. Chef Massimo is amazing.

What an amazing dinner. Fresh real Italian food and wine. No freezer food here and it shows with the quality of food the family run restaurant serves. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes. Lasagna was delicious, as was the truffle pasta special.

If I had to take one restaurant on a desert island it would be Sfixio. I recommend this fantastic place to anyone who loves a cool vibe, great food, and great service (and easy parking in the nearby structure!). Mara and Massimo are committed to a casually upscale, classy, and unique dining experience. Branzino is my favorite and Mara always has a special wine to pair with it. They do a ton of awesome events in the main area and in the above loft...so bring your party or your friends and have a great time!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, wonderful staff! My boyfriend's took me here for dinner for Valentine's Day and it was amazing! The whole staff made the entire dinner memorable. Honestly, it was a delicious meal with fresh food and a wonderful atmosphere, what more could you ask for?

Fresh pasta and salads but overall everything was quite bland. Portions were teeny tiny, even under non-American standards. Mixed drinks were very hit and miss (and more miss than hit).

Went for Valentine's Day Dinner. $98 per person Pre Fixe menu, which we weren't made aware of when booking. That's ok. It's Beverly Hills and Sfixio has a ton of 5 star reviews. It was not ok though. I'm in the hospitality industry and I've been lucky enough to dine all over the world from 3 Michelin Star tasting menus to street food and everything in between! The food at Sfixio was not world class and was not value for money....sadly. Our waitress was lovely, the venue itself is pleasant enough too. We made our choices, burrata and tuna tartare to start. The burrata's accompaniments were bland...we've had much better. Tuna tartare was mushy. Pasta course...."Molecular Black Truffle Pasta" and the Porchini Mushroom pasta. My truffle pasta was unappealing to the eye. Looked like caviar stirred through creamy angel hair pasta. It was stodgy, clumpy and had exactly nothing to do with molecular anything. Porchini pasta was ok. Mains...rib eye and the lamb. Both the meats were good and cooked well. The brussel sprouts with the lamb were terrible and my partner didn't eat the veg that came with the steak. Dessert...mascarpone cheese in a martini glass with raspberries and 4 profiteroles, sold as "cream puffs". Edible, but uninteresting. We had two glasses of champagne and I had a glass of Pinot Noir. Total bill for the two of us $256 + gratuity. I have NO problem spending big on dining out. Especially on special occasions. I do however have a big problem with venues that charge like this and woefully under deliver against the promise of such pricing. Value for money means different things to different people. One man's floor is another man's ceiling. I get it, but I truly feel ripped off last night. I've read so many glowing reviews that it makes writing this all the more sad. I have nothing but love and affinity for those grafting away in the hospitality business, as I have for many years. So, I hope those that love Sfixio continue to support it, but avoid the nights when the menu is Pre Fixe! Hey ho....live and learn. We shall't be back.
Fresh, delicious, the flavors were so good, every bite. I can't believe I'm just now discovering this place. The servers were so sweet. I'm definitely coming back. My new favorite.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! The food is phenomenal, especially the gnocchi! Mara and Chef Massimo are a dynamic duo!! They made my boyfriend and I feel like a part of their family! I appreciate the service they both gave us! We will make this a regular place for our date nights! (:

Ambience is nice and civil. Tables not too close. Chef's wife is hostess and server and is one of the most charming people I have ever met. Food seasoning was balanced, portioned just right and just plain delicious. The big hit was the lasagna, which is Northern Italian in preparation (pasta layered with bolognese and béchamel). Had amazing tequila cocktail —up and simple with very thinly sliced pepperoncini and not at all sweet. Dinner was not rushed and servers were not intrusive so we could have good conversation. We all agreed we would definitely come back.
Without a doubt this is one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles. There are so many great things in the menu but ANYTHING with the black truffle is going to make you keep coming back for more... I can't day which good things about this EXTRAORDINARY jewel.
