Go for the octopus carpaccio with fried capers , penne langostine, sweet corn agnolotti with truffle butter , and sea bass—and stay for the white truffles , which are imported from Piedmont every fall. Read more

I love it here! A friendly efficient team, amazing cakes , great food, and nice decor. Other restaurants would do well to copy this, and they also have a good selection of vegan cakes . A must visit!

I recommend the Branzino , and the house made pasta square (straci) add meatballs . Fantastic. Burrata is solid. Ambiance is lovely. Spielberg and JJ Abrams there together (discussing Star Wars?).

Best pasta you will ever eat. Ever. Well okay maybe outside Italy. But order two (yes two) past entrees. They are small and insanely good. Meatballs also. That is all.

Anthony Nguyen

The size of a cottage living room, the ambiance is relaxed, and the crowd is always chill .

Fanny Freeman

One of the best Italian restaurants in LA . Italian I said!

Must try the sweet corn agnolotti . The Dover Sole is so fresh and light. The lobster is probably the I've ever had. Huge portion !

This eatery is the best Italian food I've ever had—it even surpasses Italy! Girgio is a lovely older man who still cooks all the food with love. - Kate Bosworth

A classic LA show. See-and-be-seener, loved, or love-hated, for its fabulous old school, if pricey , fare. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

More stars than there are in heaven, splurging on supremo pastas and other Italian fare . A bit cramped, but that, and the exquisite Tagliata, are part of the clubby charm.

Marc Kosberg

Agnolotti and artichoke salad , finish it off with tiramisu !
