We met some friends out for dinner here and had a fantastic meal. The food was great. We shared a few salads and appetizers, and we each had a different main. I had the bolognese which was perfectly textured and flavored. Service was friendly and helpful. This place has a family run, local trattoria vibe. It's a Studio City gem. We will absolutely go back.

The food was wonderful as was the service. I had the Tagliatelle noodles with Bolognese sauce that was Devine. The Caesar salad Devine as was the eggplant pizza with the wonderful thin crust! La Cava is always delicious!
