Came here with my nephews and the host was blatantly rude towards us (we're Black, not sure what the host is). Thankfully, our waitress was very friendly and nice so that cancelled out the rude male host. The food and drinks were amazing. 4 stars for

Went on a Thursday night. Service was great. Atmosphere was mixed (lights were being dimmed up and down constantly, music volume was briefly turned up at full blast to the surprise of the entire restaurant, and it was quite busy, so it was very loud overall).Most of the dishes we had were under-seasoned. The Calamari were crispy, but lacked flavor and the Burrata was bland (lack of salt for both). The Arancini was tasty, but could have used more texture. The Amatriciana was supposed to have pancetta in it (ours did not, at least not visibly), and whatever amount of spice it was supposed to have was non-existent.The cocktails we had were fine, as was the wine.Overall, an ok experience, but nothing to rave about.

The first time we were in a restaurant, the place was just at the entrance. We ordered pasta (it was very tasty), bruschetta (not tasty at all, the tomatoes were cheap, no taste). And for dessert we ordered tiramisu (they prepare it themselves), a lot of cream, cloying, you can’t taste the coffee. Service very

A Hidden Gem for Homemade PastaHighlights: Squid ink pasta, Bruschetta I've always wanted to try this place, but parking was a challenge. Managed to find street parking around 4 PM to avoid the rush. The homemade pasta here lives up to the hype--tried the truffle ravioli, squid ink seafood pasta, and even the kids' pasta, all delicious. The bruschetta and fries we ordered as sides were tasty too. The casual ambiance makes it a comfortable spot to enjoy pasta, and the service was friendly. Planning to come back for more pasta varieties!

The food is amazing and the service is really excellent! Parking is tough, though they do have Valet in the evening. Went there on a date, and the ambiance and overall vibe was perfect, casual, but with classy undertones, and the waitstaff really made it feel like fine dining! Shoutout to Brittany and Ryan for really taking care of us!The food was absolutely amazing, and they make their own pasta! The cocktails were unique and flavorful, and a big part of the reason I'd go back.Had the Garlic Bread (tasted very fresh), the fries (shoestring w/ truffle), Fettuccine Alfredo and Spaghetti Carbonara w/shrimp, and all of these dishes were to die for. Overall an amazing experience top to bottom, definitely worth going to!

Visited this restaurant while in the area and was pleasantly surprised for what it is. Not your fancy Italian house with unique dishes, but they do serve up some good quality and reasonably priced coctktails. Service was very quick, literally stepped out for a second and then my pasta was ready.I ordered the truffle raviol, and the sauce was very tasty and it was a good serving size.Will be back to try other items on the menu, friend ordered the Bolognese and he rated them too.

The fact that all the food was delicious and had a good texture, even after delivery, speaks well for the quality. Looking forward to eating here in person next time!Pictured are the garlic bread, truffle ravioli with shrimp, and squid ink frutti di mare.

They make their own pasta and it is amazing. We love this place.Now, parking is a bear. After 7 they have valet, where they put the cars, I have no idea. I was able to find a place on the street as we were there at about 5 pm, but mind the signs.I think they take reservations, we were there early and my grandson picked it out so I am not positive. Call them. I know it gets crowded on the weekends. It is not huge, but it is beautiful.This place reminds me of a date night place, but I was there with my grandson and they were super nice to him so it is kid friendly. He was the only teen there.The service is just wonderful. Our server was so kind to us and checked on us as did other servers and they are all just cute as buttons. They know their menu so well and can help you.The place is decorated so pretty. It is just comfortable and super pretty inside. There is also a really nice bar if you like that. They can make you any drink you want.It is super clean as are the bathrooms.The food is all great. We started with Garlic Bread. They buy all their bread fresh from the baker next door. It was fabulous. And they give you a really good size unlike so many other fine dinning places.I had a soda and my grandson had a wonderful lemonade. And refills are free!! Again, not like other places.We had a pesto pasta and a Bolognese sauce, just packed with meat and all sorts of flavors over two different made there pastas. They were just amazing. They were cooked to perfection and the taste was so good you would have thought we were in Italy.The salads were so fresh and crispy. We loved the Caesar.We did not have dessert and I wish we did, but we were full and on the move to see a play.I really can't recommend this place enough.

The pasta was exquisite. I had fettuccine Alfredo with added broccolini and chicken. While the chicken was plentiful I just wish that the broccolini came as a whole rather than chopped small pieces. I also had a spa day cocktail and it was delish! Definitely coming back again when I’m in LA. I look forward to trying the other two restaurants own by the same owner which are located near each other.

I brought my friend here after having a pretty good experience the first time I came, especially with a GF allergy. Unfortunately, tonight was not the same. I ordered a GF pasta, but as soon as they brought out my food I knew it wasn’t GF. We told our waiter Duffy and he replied, “We make food that contains gluten so next time you should just spit it out.” My friend and I were appalled at his commentary because allergies are very serious. As the manager, his restaurant etiquette was disappointing and we will not be returning because of it.
