Let’s start with the price first of all it was super expensive for food that was tasteless. Unfortunately I still paid for it but the cauliflower soup was watered down. Was just water with mushrooms.Lasagna tasted like it was prepackaged and just thrown in the microwave.The ribeye- we ordered it medium rare and it was medium(over cooked) we tried asking for more food while the waitress was there and she looked at us and told us we were ordering to much food . Definitely felt judged the desserts were also not the best . All and all it was 4/10 definitely not worth the hype

We had a wonderful experience dining here and I do emphasize '"dining" as we felt like we were in Europe enjoying the perfect meal. We sat outside in the cozy patio on a chilly night but we noticed the inside dining room was very well appointed and comfortable as well. The four of us had the price fix dinner which was spectacular and so reasonably priced for the the number of courses. I had the meat set menu and my partner had the fish. Both sets started with a wonderful cauliflower soup with no cream that was hot and tasty. After that we were served a wonderful and generous dish of four meatballs that were out of this world. The fish set was served an amazing burrata that was to die for and we shared both dishes which could have been enough for dinner but more was to come. Next the meat folks were served a pasta dish with pork in the best sauce with freshly made pasta that was crazy good. And that was followed with a roasted suckling pork dish which is a Sardinian specialty and a first for me. A huge portion and plated with a very special bread/cracker from Sardinia and the best raw carrots I have ever had ( i am a real carrot person and these were certainly farm to table). The fish folks at a seafood fast on pearl pasta that was also perfect. I also want to give a shout out to the owner and our server who was so flexible. Often on a price fix meal they won't really substitute but one of our group is gluten free and they easily accommodated. And the attention to detail was just incredible. Almost like a fine dining experience but I loved the Sardinian informality of the place. Our server pared our meals perfectly with great wine suggestions. The last course was delicious light lemon pastry in a wonderful sauce that wasn't too sweet or tart and our gluten free friend was treated to some gelato that was kindly substituted. Be sure to park in the City structure across the street as Culver City is quite busy or ask the restaurant in advance where to park so you don't waste time. We noticed so many guests were sharing the most delicious pizzas which must be a Sardinian specialty as well and we are going to try to get back there in the next week to try those as well!

Excellent food. Sicilian Italian. The plates were plentiful and very flavorful. Small room with outdoor section too. Service was off a bit, but it was pretty busy.

Cool local joint serving Sardinian food. Not your typical Italian place, but rather unique and different. Food is delicious without being overbearing or heavy. Service excellent and price point is good. This small place is great for a date or, like us, a family dinner of 4.Check out pics for what we ordered!

Lovely little restaurant tucked away behind the main street in Culver City. It's family-owned and the owners are incredibly attentive and nice. We were quickly seated and it was an excellent food experience, the restaurant is advertised as Sardinian/Italian and you get complimentary focaccia and plain bread. We wanted to try something different and are so glad we did!We came here for brunch and got:- Egg and meatballs- Classic sandwich - Pistachio gelatoI highly recommend all those choices!
