This place should never open again. This is the second time it is closing. The space is a nice but the people running the place have no clue what they are doing. The service is horrible and the food is even worse.

I just went troughs the reviews and I really can't understand how people can give this place 5 Stars!!! If there was an option for no stars I would go that route.

Only 7 people in the whole restaurant and we were a birthday party of 10 that came in. Cocktails, appetizers, entrees, wine...a lot of stuff! The food was horrible except for garlic bread and calamari. Pizza was too thin & no flavor, not even oregano for Pete's sake. Parmigiana? No seating, didn't, undercooked. There was only 1 server for it take & apparently the whole restaurant - AND that person also was the bartender! The host didn't help at all and actually had a kind of superior attitude towards us. Bottom line I would never recommend this restaurant for food or for service. I think someone else at the party posted a similar review because it was just. That. Bad. The only good thing was the interior and the parking.

We tried this place and it was not good. The place was empty and only one table was taken. We ordered calamari for starters and it was awful, looked like it was frozen. For main course we ordered pizza and pasta both were bad. Pasta was spicy and my daughter couldn’t eat it and the pizza smelled bad. Not going back to this place. Overall service was not good at all.

I’ve been looking for an Italian place for a while, and lucky for me, I found one in Studio City. This is a new place that you need to try. The prices were very reasonable and the food was really good. We had the calamari, eggplant parm and the chicken Marsala and the flavors were wonderful and the serving sizes were perfect. They had a full bar too. This is a place that is good for families, couples, whomever! Please give them a chance and help spread the word! We need this place to stay around for a bit!

Very beautiful place, nice to go with the family, very reasonable prices

Parking: After leaving the car in the parking lot you must go up to the second floor since the place is in the middle of 2 stores

The spot is one of my new favorite places to meet friends and colleagues for a bite to eat. The service is excellent and the vibe makes it a very relaxed setting to meet someone. I was happy to see they are serving breakfast now too! As for recommendations, the French dip and grilled double pork chop are phenomenal. Thanks again for the great food and service!!

Parking: There is plenty of parking and it’s free!

The restaurant is beautiful, great atmosphere, and the beer is chilled perfectly. I was there just for drinks and appetizers, but everything that I ordered was delicious. There is plenty of parking.

My Girl and I saw this restaurant featured on “LA Unscripted “… We decided to give them a try on Saturday Night following the UCLA-USC basketball game. We arrived at 8p to find the restaurant empty. Not a sole! Only the host who said he was about to close early if we hadn’t came in. He happily sat us. We were a tad bit reluctant…. So glad we stayed! I had the Rib Eye and my girl had the Pork Chop. Before we ate the just gave us a sample bike of their tortilla soup… so delicious! Then our entrees arrived. Soooo delicious! We’ll definitely return. The only thing that disappointed was the misleading “LA Unscripted” review. It led us to believe it was a garden setting, when in fact the ambiance we saw was a tree line that was set in a strip mall on the second floor. I would still highly recommend this place, based on food, price and service.

This restaurant was featured on spectrum news and it looked really good. So my husband and I decided to go try it out. When we got there, the place was practically empty. Only two tables were taken. My husband‘s had the chicken Parmesan, which was good. And I had the tequila lime chicken, the chicken was bad it had weird taste, and the meat was so tough so we sent it back.. The service was good, but I do not recommend this place for dinner. I was very disappointed

We saw this had opened up and were excited to check it out, but that’s where the excitement ended for us.Parking was a mess, and the second floor location wasn’t convenient at all. It took forever to be seated, despite the restaurant being mostly empty, and the staff seemed tense and upset. The space felt new, but lacklustre. The menu was filled with typos. Management was clearly inexperienced, and the entire experience felt like it was managed by someone with, well, no experience.We had the Spinach Queso, Devilled Eggs, and Chicken Tortilla Soup for appetizers, which came out about 3 minutes before our meal. The Spinach Queso was cold and lumpy, and the flavor was bad. The Devilled Eggs were unlike any I’ve ever had, and not in a good way. The Chicken Tortilla Soup was a decent broth, but again, was cold, and there was very little evidence of chicken in the soup at all.We each got the Fish & Chips for our entree and also shared a Mushroom Mac and Cheese. The Fish & Chips were cold and so greasy and the fish inside the poor breading was like a purée. It was absolutely disgusting. The chips were okay, but, like everything else we had, were cold. The Mushroom Mac and Cheese was lacking taste, the pasta overcooked, and of course, was served room temperature.When the server saw us picking at our food, they asked if it was okay. We explained that it wasn’t great, and the server asked if they could take It away for us. We indicated that would be fine, and they said they’d let the manager know. It was clear we hadn’t eaten anything but the Chicken Tortilla Soup.After about 20 minutes, we still had not received our check or seen our server, and asked another server for the check. About 10 minutes later our server came back out with the manager who interrogated us about every aspect of the experience while patronizing us and insisting that everything came out of the kitchen piping hot and perfect. It was absolutely bizarre. For about 10 minutes this went on, and felt like a Law and Order parody. I can’t say I’ve ever been cross examined about every detail of my meal, but that’s exactly what it felt like.In the end, we were expected to pay the full bill amount, despite not eating almost anything at all. I don’t expect this restaurant to stay open very long. The service was severely lacking, and the management was argumentative, and incompetent as they come. We will not be back.
