Excellent service. Cooking is well balanced, nuanced, and elegant. So are the cocktails. By the glass wines are nicely varied. Lovely collection of amari. One of my favorite Italian spots in LA along with Antico Nuovo and Chi Spacca.

i came here for a birthday/anniversary celebration with my boyfriend and since we looked like a bunch of kids, i was ready to get ignored the whole night like we always do but it was the exact opposite. our server JC was amazing and even the freaking manager or owner was checking up on us frequently too. we always get treated like a couple of bums from other fine dining restaurants but we didnt here so thank you 🥹 this was my second time here and the food always hits, the pesto pasta was sooo good, its the kind of food that you daydream about 🤤 i tipped $26 on a $114 bill but i found out that wasnt even 25% so i felt really bad but ill be back again so ill make up for it, thank you !

Went to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The staff was so polite and attentive. The food was amazing. Everything was so well seasoned. Good value in the quantity and the price. And multiple people not just the server came by to acknowledge my wife’s birthday. I look forward to going again.
