I don't live in LA but I have eaten here so many times. The server (young woman, very kind) is the absolute best. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and the food is just excellent. It's one of my favorite places in DTLA

The food is fine - nothing special - and the ambiance is incredibly strange. Be warned that 50% of your party will be seated on what can best be described as a miniature lab stool (which is incredibly uncomfortable). The waitress we had seemed completely overwhelmed with only a few tables and while we explained that we had a two-hour timeline to eat before a concert, she could not keep the meal moving on time for us. Overpriced and really underwhelming. We will not be back.

We chose this restaurant because it was walking distance to the Orpheum Theater where we had tickets to a concert. We had calamari fritti and tomato with pesto sauce and burratta cheese to share as a starter and then each of us chose a pasta dish as main course. The portions are small but the food quality is good. There's a limited selection of wine and they allowed us to try a few to help make a decision. We then had olive oil cake and tiramisu for dessert. It was a about $90 per person which is expensive but about what you expect to pay these days for a meal downtown

Delightful experience, the last stop in our Red Dining Book, and certainly a memorable one. The service was impeccable, above and beyond. Don't miss the crudo.

Sarah our waitress was amazing! She helped us choose an amazing bottle of wine to share her service was impeccable! Food was on point no complains will definitely be going back before this hidden gem is famous!

Incredible food. I mean absolutely delicious. Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had, Vodka sauce on the pasta was delicious. We also had the baby artichokes (yum!) and the Burrata salad. I'll gladly eat them all again. 100/10. All pasta made in hose too! My server was so knowledgeable on the wines and let me taste a few until I found the perfect one for my meal-made me feel so welcome. This place is definitely going on the short list of favorite restaurants in downtown.

Great food. Very small restaurant that fills up quick. The olive oil cake will be in my dreams.

I made reservations over a week in advance for this place and was very excited to try it but when I showed up for my 5:30 reservation it was closed. I wish they were more professional and didn't allow someone to book a reservation for a time slot that wasn't available. I double checked their hours online and they should have been open according to the hours posted on their website. I'm not sure if I would make the trip back considering the lack of respect for their patrons' time and resources.
