"This restaurant was amazing. I travel to Italy quite frequently and I felt as though I had gone back. While it is quaint, it is romantic. Food wasn't too expensive but extremely delicious. Everything was handmade and filling. I would make a reservation."

"It is a find. Charming, almost European-like.
The staff was attentive asking numerous times if everything was good. Water glasses filled without asking.
There were two of us, so shortly after being seated, a small tray of items, olives, cheese,,, arrived...two of each. That was a bit skimpy since each one was so tiny.
Good wine list.
Food was presented beautifully. Beef was excellent, lamb was quite tough.
If we understood our waiter correctly, the dessert was only a tray of typical Italian American finger items.
Not appealing when tiramisu was desired.

"Best Italian food since I was in Tuscany. Authentic and delicious. The burrata with prosciutto and arugula was delicious and rich. Two of us had the risotto with seafood with clams and chunky pieces of shrimp and calamari. It was perfectly prepared. Our companion had the linguini with clams and loved it as well. For dessert we shared a flourless chocolate cake which was lovely. The owner gave us samples of wine before we chose a bottle of wonderful Italian white. I cannot wait to go back again!"

"This is a great little restaurant with interesting, tasty, hot, hearty Italian food. We had a delicious meal. We were the only ones in the small downstairs for most of our meal. There is an upstairs, hard for me to climb,so I've never seen it.
The problem is: no valet parking. There is a big lot in the back to which the restaurant is not privy; I guess some people park there. On the east side street there is a pay lot; I forget the cost. We found a metered spot on Sunset, pretty unusual, but it was a week night and 7 PM. Both side streets are hilly; hard for some of us to walk.
We go back; it's certainly one of the top Italian restaurants in L.A!! Pasta with almond paste!! I didn't try it!!"

"Hollywood hot spot with good food but a little claustrophobic for our taste. Food is good and owner is lovely. Our waiter left a bit to be desired--how foolish on his part. Don't they understand we come for the experience and they have a lot to do with that part of the evening. You'd think that folks who rely on tips for a big part of their income would get it and try to be attentive to their customers."
