This restaurant is amazing! From the staff to the atmosphere, and especially the food! Everything was as fresh and authentic as anything I've had in Italy. The biggest surprise was the flan! I always order it at restaurants and then compare it to my mom's flan, but from my first bite I had a "Ratatouille" moment where I was thrown back to my mom's kitchen as a kid and could see her smiling at me as I ate it with a big grin on my face. Can't recommend this place enough.

After living in LA for more than five years, I’d walked past this spot countless times without stopping in. A friend picked it for her birthday because it’s always reliable, and I’m glad she did. Every dish we ordered was impressive, and I ended up tasting a bit of everything—there wasn’t a single miss. The garlic bread alone deserves special praise. I can see why this place has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and it’s definitely one I won’t overlook again.

A lively Italian spot in DTLA. Validated parking at the back is available. The staff are very friendly and they tried to be as helpful as possible, which was very nice. I enjoy the bone marrow, the salad and the risotto the most. The pastas were delicious too but a tiny too salty for me. The have indoor and outdoor seatings with strip lights, which make the vibe so appealing. Would be great for a date night :)

The pasta was well made with great texture. I enjoyed the meatballs but wish they had been a tad bit larger with a bit more spice. Overall, a very good meal.

The italian food here is absolutely phenomenal! I had the Gnocchi with bolognes sauce and it was completely out of this world! They offered to add parmesean to the dish and I wish I could have added more to compliment the dish. Once the meal was done we had dessert, a slice of chocolate cake that had a texture very similar to a light angel cake. Additionally we also had the flan, incredibly custardy with that caramel top. The only thing that would make this place better is the ability to take reservations so avoid the wait outside.
