10 out of 10 I highly recommend and I can't wait to go again! ??I had the Burnia pizza & rughetta salad with a glass of sangiovese. It was about $50 before tip. I thought everything tasted amazing.Friendly note to definitely make a reservation because they were pretty full at 7:15 on a Thursday.Parking: There are about 5 parking spaces in the back or street parking so arrive early.Also make reservations.

Every morsel of food was tasty! ?... And our server was excellent, I really enjoyed the experience, thanks to her. Her Italian pronunciation was impeccable. And I don't even speak Italian lol. Will definitely come back to visit this place for both the food and experience.

This used to be my favorite Italian in SoCal. Was disappointed during my most recent visit. Food was average at best.

This business needs to do a better job of turning off their online ordering systems. Last night for the second time i ordered from them [through doordash] and for the second time i was left in the dark sitting and waiting for my food. The restaurant does not confirm the order and as i try to cal the restaurant either no one answers repeatedly or like last night the phone went straight to User Busy and doesnt even go through. The first time i eventually was able to reach the restaurant the next business day and they submitted my refund. Second time door dash was able to cancel but now my account is flagged as "repeatedly having issues" and will be investigated for each claim now. I ordered at like 8pm and takeout is through 8:30. It is really frustrating to be hungry and think you have food coming only to realize after a while it isn't working. It seems like a really simple thing to adjust your online ordering hours to ones you will actually honor. Still hoping to eventually try this food but wow are they making it difficult.

We had the lasagna and bambino. Unbelievable. Loved it
Hot damn, I stumbled upon this restaurant in LBC during my vacation with my family. I just so happen to find it and I am so happy I did. All the pastas are absolutely made with 100% love, and the sauces, quality of everything is just fantastic. The server, food runners, bussers were all really sweet and very attentive. Canoli's were extra crispy, and the ricotta filling, omgosssh it was heaven! *I am stttill dreaming about them*Negroni was spot on and they even had Fernet! You can't get anymore authentic than this. I really wish they had one in Chicago....I would literally go everyday if I could.
