Came in with my friends becuase of a recommendation, right away was met by friendly staff and an awesome ambiance! My server Jose was just incredible, was helpful in choosing a dish. Food was amazing I ordered Scampi Diavola. The whole experience was incredible from the beginning to the end. Will be coming back and hoping Jose takes care of me again! A+

Jose was our server and I was so impressed with him! The food was incredible. My friend and I split the two gnocchi dishes and we left happy and full! We sat inside near the window and the vibe was incredible.

They have amazing soups and wines! The pasta is pretty good but they don't ever cook it the way we ask. Whenever we show up it takes a really long time for anyone to ever acknowledge us. They leave us standing there for a long time. I love this place but this happens often so we usually eat somewhere else! Inside is small and cute! I'd love to come back soon to try more pasta dishes!

TLDR: EXCELLENT barrata salad. Went out for a girl's night here; such a pleasant, pleasant surprise. In a cute area of town (with lots of parking), and the staff is all very friendly. I arrived to my reservation early and was greeted with no problem. The food was incredible; you can't go wrong with anything you order. Barrata salad is my favorite - they had me stuffed on that alone, before my main entrees even showed up! Had a great experience, would definitely be back!

The table bread and tampanade is very comforting but be careful or you'll fill up on it. The Caprese and the Polpettini Della Casa was a nice appetizer. The sauce in the Polpettini I could just dip the table bread in and eat that by itself and not order anything else. The Seabass was slightly fishy but the presentation was gorgeous and the Risotto was melt in your mouth delicious, the Sausage and Pepperoni is my new favorite pizza. Great crust which is also the table bread, and the sauce is really flavorful. Sausage and pepperoni pizza I usually am super thirsty after but not this. It's fresh and made so light without lots of salt which I love. Hard to stop eating. It can get a little loud inside when it's busy because of the brick walls but you can grab a table outside for a little more quiet. $11-$30 pp depending on what you order as a main dish. Appetizers will add to bill and any drinks. Always a lovely experience in a quiet neighborhood looking out to the park.

Solid 3.5 stars I took my friend here to celebrate her birthday We had reservations at 7 Upon walking in there were a few patrons both inside and outside the restaurant The host asked us if we wanted to sit inside or out and we chose outside given. It was such a beautiful day/night. We ordered the prosciutto and mozzarella starter the arugula salad, and the steak to split The host was nice. The server was very sweet and the meal was pretty decent. The prosciutto mozzarella, fig and balsamic dressing was a delightful mix Arugula, artichoke Parm salad was lemony and refreshing The mustard dressing for the steak was good and well with the potatoes and the garlic green beans they served. The only downside would be the steak being cooked more medium well than medium rare Overall, a decent experience, but again not a restaurant that I would prioritize going back to

Nice spot right in the middle of Playa Vista. Went late on Saturday for dinner and the place was not too busy. We ordered the pepperoni and sausage pizza as well as the agnolotti. Both were okay, but the service was quick and our server was very nice. Good place to come for a quick bite.

Our server Austin was fantastic- very friendly and hospitable. Loved the location and quaint atmosphere- makes you feel like you're a part of the "fam". It's quiet, clean, and very relaxed in the surrounding area. It allows you to just be present and enjoy a good meal. The pizza was perfect - great sauce to dough ratio- we were both very pleased and they allowed us to split the pizza with cheese & meat. Not featured was the arugula salad with artichokes that was simple yet really well done too! Can't wait to come back again! New fave!
