I arranged to get together here for a reunion of a few of my friends (13 of us) for dinner last month. The food and wine was great. The service was good. I love the ambience. My guests were all happy. I just had a couple of incidents that I called the waiter and he snapped at me in front of my guests because they were extremely busy and he was a bit late attending our table. That's why I gave it a 4 star. Otherwise all together I was happy.

The service is impeccable and the food is real Italian, both owner/chef's are from Italy, and their experience shows from the first taste of the home made bread with fabulous olive oil and beautiful balsamic vinegar to the great Artichoke Salad and their fabulous pasta's and meat and fish. Love this great restaurant.

AMAZING food, service, and timely order in which food was served. Very authentic Italian food, perfect balance of tart and creaminess. We got the bone in NY strip special as well as the sole filet. Starter was buratta and we ended with the chocolate tart. The house dessert wine was delicious… will be back for sure. Andres, our server was amazing.

I have yet to have a bad meal here. Even in these COVID times, the staff - all of them - were so professional. The food was outstanding. I especially loved the asparagus soup. The chef is a major talent.

Great ambiance, friendly and attentive staff. Outdoor seating is pretty great for the restaurant being in a business corporate building. More importantly, the food was just fantastic. Reasonably priced, too. I'm definitely coming back here.

My partner's veggie pizza (for $25) was very inadequate -- tasteless, minimal vegetables, altogether unsatisfactory. The service was also pretty minimal, with a somewhat supercilious waiter who we barely saw after our food was delivered. And my drink was probably the most anemic Arnold Palmer I've ever had -- very pale, hardly any taste, barely better than ice water. We did have an excellent appetizer and a good dessert, but at the end of the day we'd spent over $120 for a mediocre meal. The ambiance was nice (outdoor patio), but that didn't make up for our overall disappointment with the whole experience.

It was my first time here and we came for the Mother's Day special menu. $69 for a pre-picked menu for adults and $29 for the same pre-picked menu for my child who is 12 and under. So the appetizers were the best part of our experience. I had the tomato soup and it was my favorite part of the whole night! My Mom had the artichoke salad which she enjoyed and my son had the meatballs which he also really enjoyed. Then we got our entrees. I got the sole with a side of asparagus, my Mom got the bowtie salmon alfredo and my son got the meat lasagna. So I rate my entree 3 stars. The sole was swimming in butter that had somehow already hardened when it got to me. The asparagus would have been beautiful if it was just cooked with some salt and pepper. It came drenched in Jack cheese, which sounds delicious but it was lacking flavor for me. So I ate it but would not order it again. My mom had a similar experience with her entree, she said it lacked flavor and felt super fatty at the same time. My son did not like the lasagna at all and we had to send it back and thankfully they gave us more meatballs (my Mom and I each tried a tiny bite of the lasagna and it did have a weird flavor that I couldnt put my finger on. The after taste was the nail in the coffin, so there was merit behind him sending it back) and lastly the dessert I would give 4 stars. I ordered a chocolate flourless tarte covered in powdered sugar which was quite delightful. My mom and son each ordered the lemon cheesecake with strawberry drizzle sauce and there again, was a weird aftertaste when eating the cheesecake. Overall, the experience was super pleasant. The waiter and hostess could not have been nicer! The hostess made it a point to stop and char with my son which he enjoyed and she even offered to take pictures of all of us which was super sweet of her.
Final take: I wish I would have ordered the lamb chops for the main entree because the woman next to me enjoyed them so loudly that I was super jealous. Lol!
I would try this again on a night where the menu was not limited to give a true review. But for tonight, this is how I felt.

Came with a group of friends to try their dinner menu for Dine LA. Wonderful!!! Food was delicious as always. We had the Calamari, burrata with prosciutto, lamb chops with sautéed veggies, salmon with Prosecco /peppercorn sauce with sautéed veggies, apple cake with vanilla sauce, fresh berries and vanilla ice cream. Will need to come back and try other menu items!
We come here often not only for the delicious foods and desserts but the wonderful hostess, Lucy, and waiters. They always greet us with a warm smile and make us feel like we are part of their family. The chef, Gaetano, is a master at his craft. He prepares dishes with great flavor and presentation. We haven't tasted a dish we didn't like. We look forward to his next creation!

Nice Italian restaurant with an attentive staff. I have enjoyed both their pizza and shrimp risotto.
