Delicious family owned restaurant that is always worth the drive. The ravioli are the best I’ve had but the orecchiette is so so good it is always tough to decide what to get. The desserts are incredible too! The staff is attentive and charming. Nothing to complain about at this fantastic restaurant.

If I can give zero stars I would. So my partner and I decided to order a take out for my bday as we we're both tired from long drive and it was our first time. As soon as we got there two employees had seen us but ignored us. When we said we're here to pick up our orders they said oh it's $99.25 and let me tell you, the look on their faces as if we can't afford to eat or buy food from them. Not only we we're both profiled but we also got nasty looks from the employees and bad customer service. The food wasn't even all that. I was excited because I've been wanting to try their food and was disappointed. I could honestly let that slide, but their customer service is bad and not to mention we we're treated very poorly. I guess this place only cater and are nicer only, to the people who they think has money and wear these nice and branded clothes. This place is casual and we're just picking up food. I hope this won't happen again to other people.

Delicious Italian meal in Malibu that transported me back to my grandmother's home in Italy. Excellent pasta and seafood in a cozy atmosphere. Davina gave excellent recommendations and was a fantastic server.

Love the ambience it's a great place for date night, because very low-key and quiet so that you can carry on conversations without struggling to listen to the other person. We usually go there on a Friday night and the parking lot in the front of the restaurant always has a parking spot which is what we like about this place.. Service is great. The owner comes out and greet you and have conversations with you. The ambience Intimate and warm. The food is great. We come here for the octopus. The eggplant Parmesan is interestingly prepared. The eggplant is sliced, very thinly and is absent of gooey mozzarella not your traditional eggplant Parmesan.

OMG !! Most of everything here is so above and beyond excellent except the table bread for the start wasn't warm at all .. it would be 100% perfect if they make it warm but texture is so soft and tender.. and apart of The vibes, music, decorations it all made me feel I was in suburban of Italy. Talk about foods, We ordered Chilean Seabass came with yellow sauce and mixed veggies and boar ragu are wow at first bite. It will blow your mind trust me. Come try and enjoy .. Bon Appetite

Special Thanks To This Restaurant! A few years ago we went here and they gave me the Fanta on the shelf because there wasn't any available! The food is quite good and I'm willing to come here again. The ambiance was just alright because the place is kind of small & the building is dated.
This place had the most amazing service. The entire staff is kind and welcoming. We left our to-go box and they came and brought it to our car. And don't even get me started on the food. It was so delicious, we had the bolognese and it was fantastic, highly recommend. Such a good place with lovely lighting and a homey vibe.

Gravina is the real deal Italian family style cooking, with an array of dishes to please a range of tastes. We've tried many different things on the menu and and we have so many different favorites too many to list! You can't go wrong. We order from here at least once a week and never get tired of it because you can get rich indulgent dishes, or light wholesome dishes- everything is always freshly prepared, best quality ingredients and super flavorful.

Great Italian restaurant in Malibu. The food and service was outstanding. They have both indoor and outdoor dining which provides for a nice ambiance.

Prices were more than double advertised online. $30 for a SMALL pizza here is robbery. EXTREMELY overpriced and the food was awful, even for the advertised price online. Pizza did not seem freshly made and seemed frozen and reheated. The employees were clearly annoyed and seemed rushed, even though the restaurant was almost empty. No positive part of the experience, will not be returning.
