We had three different types of pasta and all of if them were delicious. Our son has picked this restaurant and it was a very good choice.
Towards the end we had a very nice chat with the boss and she gave us also great tips for our future journey.

Amazing pizza and pasta! It was so good. We finished everything we ordered. Definitely coming back when we come to Santa Monica again.
Everyone was very attentive and sweet to us. Loved the hospitality they had for their customers.

The ambiance is classic Italian, complete with traditional music that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a little corner of Italy. The pizza is excellent, perfectly golden and crispy, just the way it should be. I recommend trying all the pastas; they won’t disappoint. The lasagna isn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it’s still good. Highly recommend this spot. Just a five-minute walk from Santa Monica Pier.
