I am glad to see this New Romantic and hip restaurant take over this spot. It is beautiful and great for groups. Staff is kind and helpful. Parking options include self paid parking as well as valet. If you want free parking you will have to walk quite a bit. Prices and portions are as expected. Everything was delicious including the pesto and Tierra Donna pasta, branzino, mushroom and margarita (not a margarita fan since the sauce is normally whatever and there isn't enough cheese but this one is my fav since it has a good amount of cheese and the tomato sauce is robust) pizza but my favorites include the eggplant parm (my favorite one as it was delicious without being a messy heavy dish), tortellini, arancini, and their sundae/ice cream. A great spot if you are a vegetarian. We got salads as well including the Caesar but in the future I would skip them to make more room for the other items.

Brussels sprouts!!! Wow, they were in a bed of some type of yogurt, so good! The pizza was also a strong choice. Share a pizza and a side of some greens and you have a light lunch. The parking was super expensive ($18) but I might have missed out on how to validate or where a possible lot might be. Service was great, we were there on a Sunday at 1pm, close to their lunch end time so it was pretty empty with a lot of space. The ambiance is airy and modern and good for a casual lunch or date night.

I'm glad they took over this space. Great food and hospitality. It was a little over $100/pp but we had cocktails, appetizers, the 36oz Florentina steak (cooked perfectly), pastas, pizzas and dessert. Can't wait to come back.

Loves everything about this place. Great Italian dishes, great service and great ambiance!! Can't wait to go back again. Dishes were delish!!!

Absolutely a let down. The ambiance of the restaurant and the waitstaff were great. However, the food was mediocre at best. The lamb was so undercooked that it was inedible. They had to take it off my bill bc they could see how awful it was. That part was appreciated but overall the food was just so blah.

Food is delicious with a lot of options, ambiance was vibey, and parking was easy. Menu highlights included the White Lotus Pizza, little gem salad, the eggplant and spicy vodka pasta. The staff was attentive and personable. Overall, a great spot to check out with friends, family or after work.

The food here is fantastic. The dishes are modern takes on Italian cuisines that are exquisite. Portions are the perfect size to share, and the drinks are delicious. Our server was great as well. I spilled my drink and she gave me a new one - free of charge! This place is a super cute dinner spot, right near Ivy station. There's outdoor and indoor seating, with a low-lit ambiance and house music. Very trendy and fun. Only critique was it was a little on the expensive side, but that's most places in LA so it's not out of the ordinary. $14 drink, $23 pasta and $15 appetizer.

The service at this restaurant is truly exceptional, from the moment you arrive, you're greeted with warmth and professionalism. From the valet to the hostess to the server, every member of the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. A special shoutout to our server Jordan, who not only provided excellent service but also gave us fantastic recommendations that elevated our dining experience. His knowledge and passion for the menu truly shone through, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide through our culinary journey. Another standout member of the staff is J with the dreads, who added a personal touch to our dining experience with his friendly demeanor and engaging conversation. It's rare to encounter someone so personable and genuine in the hospitality industry, and J made our visit truly memorable. Now, onto the food. The New York strip stole the show for me, with its perfect char and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, leaving me craving more long after the meal was over. In second place was the broccolini with garlic sauce, a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish that complemented the steak perfectly. The garlic sauce added a richness and depth of flavor that took the broccolini to the next level. And let's not forget about the lamb meatballs, a delicious appetizer that left a lasting impression. Tender and flavorful, they were the perfect start to our meal. Overall, I can't wait to come back to this restaurant sooner rather than later. With its amazing service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, it's a dining destination that I'll be returning to again and again.

Best hidden gem in Culver City! The staff is the greatest! Made us feel like kings and queens. The menu is a total home run. Hats off to the best staff in the greater area!

Beautiful place with lots of plants and a very cute but classically styled environment. Food and drinks were tasty, service was excellent. Would definitely go back!
So sad my beloved Etta is gone... but this new spot did not disappoint! Flavors were spot on and very comparable to Etta's menu! Ambiance and service still the same as Etta! Will come back again.

I was so excited to try this place and it met all my expectations. The food was topnotch. I ordered an amazing espresso martini. My friend and I shared the buffalo mozzarella toast and side of crispy brussel sprouts. I ordered for my main course the rigatoni which hit the spot! Our server was very attentive and had a lot of passion for his recommendations. We can't wait to come back!

This restaurant is awesome !!!! The atmosphere is incredible, we sat on the patio and couldn't be more comfortable. Of course the food was to die for, mushroom arancini was a highlight for me and the Brussels sprouts are a must! Each sauce is absolutely incredible and they each pair so perfectly with their dish. The pastas and pizzas are top tier, somehow each one was my favorite dish of the night. The service was also great! Everyone was very helpful, personable, and accommodating from beginning to end. And the cocktails, best Aperol spritz and espresso martini ever!!!! Absolutely wonderful evening we enjoyed every second!

Replacing our beloved Etta, this new restaurant has great potential with their Sicilian style Italian menu. Although known for their wood-fired pizza their menu has a huge variety of options. The inside atmosphere is upscale & looks identical to the previous Etta. We started with their kale caesar with creamy parmesan dressing, the grilled prawns with fennel pollen, and their delicata squash. The caesar salad and prawns were big favorites. For mains we ordered their tiarra donna with spicy vodka sauce and the grass fed half lamb rack that is slow cooked. Both crowd pleasers. Lastly their cocktails were phenomenal, the midnight noir (house whiskey blend, nonino, pear, averna, angostura, orange bitters) so good for any old fashioned lover and their roma paloma (la tierra de acre mezcal, campari, lemon, grapefruit, carpano, orgeat, orange bitters, fee foam) for the mezcal lovers. Our server Kory took such great care of us and was so great with his enthusiam and recommendations. Looking forward to coming back!PSA: Parking is Valet or paid structure parking.
