I'm a huge fan of cheese, and was looking for an opportunity to try some new ones. They had a very bold Parmesan that wasn't overly salty. The 10 year aged cheddar melted in my mouth. The coconut Gouda from Holland was a surprise hit with the table. But my personal favorite was the french triple cream. I'm going to have to see if I can find some when I fly home.

We live close to it and decided to see what's the hype is about like. Too chaotic with all delivery drivers by the door and when we finally got in, the hostess (there are like a 4 of them) were surprised we came to a public restaurant, after a 2 minutes looking at their computer they told us that they can give us a table but we have to "give the table back after certain time" LOL, is it the last meal before Armageddon. We just left and went down to a restaurant down the street. Too bad long-term neighbors and all these unneighborly restaurants are ruining not only the vibe but not encouraging us to encourage certain local businesses.
ps: Thank you for the fast response. It was just a couple of hours ago and not on Valentine's Day. There were tables but to be asked to give the table back at certain time was unheard of. We had mainly a problem with how we were greeted. We are Not the type that leaves reviews, but we only do when the experience was very unpleasant, and it's too bad as we live couple of blocks north of you. Goodluck!!!

We were seated outside. If you are looking for ambiance, tough luck—you are sitting in the parking lot next to the dumpster with decorated with plastic flowers. We had a drink and left. No comment about food. Service was efficient.

My partner has been wanting to try the cheese wheel pasta and I found a few places but we ended up here . Great choice! They have plant based options which is always a plus. I got the pasta with lentils and some cheese samples. Everything tasted delicious . My partner was in love with his dish! Customer service was great as well. We both agreed we would return !

Busy trendy restaurant with just routine service , there is an area w large cheese rounds that are used for the pasta dishes , , my appetizer (tartare steak) was good and my pasta dish was excellent !
Apparently DOGS (non service) are allowed ! It was off putting in such a popular place ( I am a dog lover,, own a precious dog , but he doesn't go to restaurants with me , just saying !!!!!!

Pasta was excellent but the mixed greens appetizer was exquisite! Don't skip over it. What a delightful surprise to get a plate of lightly and perfectly sautéed asparagus, brocolini, snow peas, green beans, edamame, and pepitas, subtly flavored with a hint of champagne. We'll go back for that dish alone.

Outstanding, authentic, delectable Italian pasta dishes with fabulous Greens on Greens, as well as fresh salads and toasted bread! Only downside is a noisy dining room when all tables are full of happy diners!

Fantastic pasta, fish, appetizers. The best octopus I've had in LA. Run don't walk to try this place if you haven't already.
The walk to the patio past some dumpsters was less than stellar and that is my only criticism.
