Was in the downtown area at the broad and stopped by this place for lunch. I ordered the ribeye with potatoes and it was cooked to perfection! The ambiance was great and the service even better. Anytime I’m in downtown for any reason this will be the place I am going!

One of the best Italian restaurants in all of Los Angeles! Excellent service, and the yummiest desserts. The pizzas are mouth watering, and the coconut cake is to DIE for. You won’t regret making a reservation here- 10/10

Next to our motel, there was this wonderful restaurant. We went into it based on reviews from this site and were not mistaken. Service at the highest level, the waiters and the manager courted all the visitors throughout the evening, but did not bother. They took pasta, caesar and steak. Everything is very tasty and the portions are just huge, if you do not eat a lot, you can safely take 1 dish for two. I advise this place, but keep in mind that there are usually a lot of people and free tables will have to wait

First time visiting this restaurant and it was a beautiful atmosphere. We sat on the patio. We had great service from Elizabeth who was very attentive and pleasant. The managers, Hugo and Elena, were also lovely, and stopped by to greet us and welcome us for our first visit. The food was exceptional; we had the beef carpaccio, the fried calamari, and the octopus with green beans. The drink menu is extensive and full of delicious options!
I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. It's in a really fun and interesting part of downtown LA.

I’m a local so I stopped in tonight for the first time for dinner because I pass by this place often, and I have already been to Otium next door many times, so I had to give this place a try as well. It’s a more casual, less hip setting compared to Otium but not in a bad way just a different style. They have a lot of classic Italian options, but also have some nice specials too, which is what I ended up choosing tonight.
I started off with the Beef Carpaccio because that’s a personal favorite dish of mine and can say this counts as a good one. A little expensive at $22 but that has to be due to the location. For my entree I chose the Chilean Sea Bass special and it was delicious with a generous portion size. At $42 it too was a bit expensive compared to some other restaurants in LA, but the portion was a large one.
Overall it was a very nice casual dinner albeit slightly over priced. Everyone from the hostess to our server was very polite and welcoming. I would recommend if you’re going to the Broad, LA Phil, or are just in the area, this would be a more casual, but still good, alternative to Otium.

Tips: perfect place for happy hour after the BROAD museum. Plenty of seating in and out. Friendly staff and bartender. Variety food choices, comfortable bar seating, ordered Nosejob IPA LA, didn’t disappoint.

Great customer service and really good food. The Whispering Angel Wine hit the spot. The Paccheri Bolognese was a good and made me feel like a kid again. The to go latte was great and really big. I recommend this place for a date or to spoil your self. The staff is amazing and very polite.

Service was very good. He could have filled our drinks more often or served the drinks in a larger glass. The pizza was very tasty but it was supposed to be a margarita pizza not a cheese pizza with a basil leaf on top. The Wagu hamburger was probably the best burger I have ever eaten. I would definitely get that again. All in all it was a very nice meal. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We'll be back!
