Wonderful experience! Food was great ! They customized the food to accommodate food allergies and preferences.
Best vongole I have ever had. Best service for 26 people. Kind yummy delish. Best party place ever. Lovely staff amazing food
Our go-to neighborhood fam dinner spot. Food is great and more importantly, the martinis are excellent! Mike, Daniel and the GM greet my kids by name, remember our usual orders and fave table. But don't come here...now that there is no sidewalk seating, getting a lat min rez is harder and I don't want you to take our spot!
Delicious food and great service. Best lamb chops I've had in a long time. My husband loved his seafood pasta. Our server, Ignacio, is a gem.
An outstanding level of Italian cuisine! From the ingredients, to the bread and olive oil, and all the way to the dishes—everything impressed with its richness of flavor, authenticity, and freshness. The only thing missing for complete happiness was true porcini mushrooms. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
Excellent Italian food. Great service and love the happy hour at the bar. Dog friendly on the great patio they built out front!
Fine food, excellent service. We were a bit underdressed for our birthday celebration in casual clothes, but were still treated graciously by staff.
Excellent food and service
First visit, will be back because this place checks all the boxes. Friendly greeting, cool bar, great ambiance, and that's before the food even arrived. I also liked the size and the openness of the layout. Bread came with olive oil dipping sauce that was great, wine prices very fair. Food was excellent. My penne with salmon was perfect, I think they grilled the salmon on the side then added it to pasta just before plating so it was medium rare which is how I like it. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Pricing was very reasonable in an area where other restaurant prices are decidedly not so. Will be back.
Delicious pasta, so many options and they all sounded tasty. Our waiter was super nice and helped us picked our dishes and the dessert was amazing!

Kinda racist... also clearly charged us for bottled water but brought a refilled bottle as they neither opened it at the table nor brought the top for it.
Great except for noisy kids. Courtney or server was the best
Great experience, fine food great wine and efficient Service. Always pleased when I go there.
Love this retaurant! Worth a drive over the hill. Wonderful service and food. The Chicken Rotolo is delicious. The host Scott makes you feel very welcome as does the whole staff. I wish they had a restaurant like this in the valley.
This is one of our favorite restaurants and a best kept secret on Main Street in Santa Monica. They also have the best happy hour in LA with actual pastas and salads on the happy hour menu and not "bar food". Also, they're happy hour wines and drinks are great.
