Amazing pasta, appreciate the hasty service but maybe ease off filling our water and checking if everything is alright every other second! Just leave us be and let us enjoy the food! Can’t wait to return next time I visit LA.

Good, but not great Italian restaurant. The food is tasty, but isn't quite traditional (ie there shouldn't be cream in the cacio e pepe recipe, the ragù was too sweet). The staff is very friendly and the place modern and well decorated (loved the helmets!).

Tried this place with a group for the first time last Saturday and everyone in the group was extremely satisfied! We all got pasta and loved our dishes and even some good gluten free pastas(not all dishes available gluten free, but most pastas are). My short rib ravioli with white sauce was fantastic, and adding a picture of it to show how it looks

Overall a good experience. I would recommend checking it out at least once. The Rib Eye Cap was our favorite dish. The cacio e pepe was just ok. Wouldn’t recommend the Hamachi Crudo if you are into a traditional version. Wine is eh… kinda over priced for the selection. If you dine upstairs be mindful it’s got an indoor/outdoor vibe within a fireplace but NGL it was hot af up there 🤷🏼‍♂️. The servings are on the smaller side with less starches/carbs and more veggies. TBH the veggie selection/usage is was nice if you are more keen to veggies.

The staff at this charming Italian gem was incredibly attentive, ensuring our every need was met with a warm smile. They guided us through the menu with expertise and made our dining experience truly exceptional. The flavors of Italy truly come alive in every dish. The homemade pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were a delightful blend of freshness and authentic Italian spices. Every bite was a journey through the heart of Italy. The cozy and romantic atmosphere of this restaurant set the perfect stage for a delightful evening. The soft lighting, rustic décor, and gentle Italian music created an ambiance that whisked us away to a quaint Italian village. A truly enchanting experience.

My boyfriend and I were excited to try this place. We got there right when it opened at 5pm. We were hoping for a quick bite before heading to a show. My boyfriend decided to sit next to me on the booth side. There was plenty of room as there was only one other couple seated in that section. The waitress came over and no hello or greeting and said "you're not ALLOWED" to sit there." It was very surreal. We felt it was very rude so we decided to leave. I understand there are restaurant policies but being told you can't sit next to your date is just weird. There was only a few people in the restaurant.

Had lunch here and was absolutely blown away with how delicious it was! Pictured is the short rib ravioli, bolognese, and the brown butter and sage tagliatelle. Extremely fresh and the flavors were phenomenal. The two favorites in particular was the short rib ravioli and the bolognese. 10/10! Highly recommend!!!
