Love the bruschetta and bread. Didn't like the filet mignon w balsamic. Liked the veal marsala. Nice service and location. Good for groups. Easy parking. Located in a shopping center w other stores.

excellent! I loved the dinner and service. The bolognese is the best in LA. I highly recommend this as it is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area.

I've loved eating here for 10 years, but today was the last time. People forget who makes their business successful, it's the customers.

We had an early dinner on New Year's Eve and I had a Chicken dish and pizza which was excellent . Our server Ryan provided wonderful service, There was a lot of room between tables and eating outside was so nice was comfortable and relaxing. Recommend .

"We made a mistake but did not regret the outcome" Family dinner planned, and I thought the reservation I made was for a place close to the water that we visited a few years ago (Italian, Santa Monica). Anyhow, we drove to this place, which is nowhere near the water and frankly the location is not awe inspiring. But we kept our committment to this reservation and walked into warily, The Ossobuco was pretty decent, our pasta was very good but the pizza was subpar. Bruschetta was plentiful and very tasty. The place is comfortable inside. All in all, not a bad outcome for a mistake, and this place is a solid neighborhood place for dining.

Good service and atmosphere but I really didn't find the food all that great, my chicken was kind of rubbery and pretty small portions and my wife only got like 3 shrimp in her risotto. Considering that it was like $60 per person that's kind of a problem, I would have been OK with it and give 5 stars if it was only $20.

One of the best Italian Restaurants in LA. Food is excellent, ambience is perfect, the sounds and smells of a great restaurant permeate the air. A hidden gem

This cozy, family-friendly restaurant provides a relaxed dining experience with a focus on simple, homestyle cooking. While the dishes may not rival fine dining in terms of culinary sophistication, they offer a comforting consistency in flavors. The use of butter is slightly more generous than I prefer, but this seems to be a hit with the kids, especially with the homemade bolognese pasta. It's a great choice for those who appreciate unpretentious, honest food in a welcoming atmosphere.

We love this restaurant. Been coming here for over 8 yrs. The food is excellent, Lasagna, Rigatoni Bolognese, Pear salad appetizer are some of our "foto" favorites. Always good to check out the specials. Michael is our family favorite waiter but everyone is super friendly and attentive!

My favorite Italian restaurant. From the fresh bread to the Tagliolini. To the salads you can't go wrong.
