    Delicious food. The chicken was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. Our waiter was amazing. Small plates. Drinks shouldn’t cost the same as a plate but overall I will definitely be back.

    Michael treated us to the best Valentine’s Day experience ever! The food and service was outstanding, the best that the 6 of us have ever experienced. He ensured we received the VIP treatment, gave us a full restaurant history and a tour to see the kitchen, pasta making section, wine storage and back of 🏠 house operations! From people who have spent time eating our way through Italy, we loved the authentic dishes in this former warehouse which was the center of the LA Farmers Market! ❤️

    Great place with amazing food, service was good but it was a slow night. Felt like I had to keep flagging down someone for service. Service used to be top notch. Food is still good!
