• Italian • Manhattan Beach

Love and Salt is a story that begins with Cafe Pierre, a restaurant birthed by Guy Gabriele in 1977 to bring a taste of France to Los Angeles’ South Bay. While Cafe Pierre was a beloved part of the community for nearly 37 years, in 2014, Guy and his daughter Sylvie Gabriele, now the owner of Love and Salt, closed the restaurant to bring new life to the iconic space.Love and Salt is a philosophy: that food needs only two ingredients to be great. It’s a sensibility that informs the feeling in the restaurant and the dishes on the menu — Italian-inspired with Southern California soul. An approachable wine list and classic cocktail program similarly reflect the vibrant SoCal setting of the restaurant, located just steps from the Manhattan Beach pier.

ADDITIONAL AVAILABILITY ON OUR WEBSITE : TinRoofBistro.com After soaking in the TRB’s Santa Barbara mission architecture, you’ll enter and be greeted by a triple arched Brunswick mahogany bar. Large bowls of colorful citrus for making cocktails sit atop a twenty-foot long bar perfect for grabbing a glass of wine or a bite to eat. As you explore further towards the display kitchen, you enter our lounge, also referred to as the wine library. Knotted wood shelves display our wines, divided up by wine region. Windows surround the North side of the dining room, allowing our guests to gaze out onto the fountain in our courtyard. I describe the décor as thoughtful and collective, creating little vignettes for dining areas. We offer two separate outdoor dining experiences: our courtyard with full service and our front porch great for appetizers, drinks and lounging.

    Great food and service, arrived on time for our reservation but was not sat until 30 minutes later - only negative item that night. Also noise level extremely high and was hard to carry conversation at the table.

    Jame, like its sister (or brother restaurant) Ospi is ALWAYS the best every time we dine! Best vodka rigatoni in all of LA and possibly the world, best kale salad, and just about everything else we order. Also has the best service and we have the best time every time we come! Honestly not a bad thing to say about Jame as it’s become one of our top consistent favorites through the year’s! So happy to continue seeing it grow and thrive as it deserves all the love and praise it gets! Thanks for the good food and good times Jame!

    Joey Manhattan Beach has become my go-to spot every time I’m in LA, which is often—at least once or twice a month. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan Village, this place is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbly, setting the tone for an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere. The space itself is stunning—spanning over 9,400 square feet, with a 2,100-square-foot patio, making it the perfect place for business travelers, corporate groups, tourists, or a fun night out with friends. It’s trendy, vibrant, and offers a relaxed, contemporary vibe. The abstract artwork by California artist Amber Goldhammer adds a unique touch, embodying the essence of an endless summer. The menu is phenomenal, offering a global selection of flavors. The Joey Classic steak is a favorite, and the herb-crusted salmon is melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, lunch, dinner, happy hour, or a late-night bite, you’ll find something to love. And let’s not forget the stellar beer and wine selection, plus craft cocktails that keep the evening going. What truly makes Joey Manhattan Beach special is the impeccable service. A huge shoutout to Assistant General Manager Gina Blake, who went above and beyond to make our night exceptional. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about every guest’s experience, and Gina does it effortlessly. Our server, Simone, was fantastic, ensuring our table was always taken care of with the perfect balance of attentiveness and charm. If you’re flying into LA, a local, or just passing through, Joey Manhattan Beach should be your “Cheers.” Whether you’re here for business, a girls’ night, or a casual upscale evening, this place delivers on every level. And of course, kudos to Executive Chef Ramie Arbid—the culinary artistry here is unmatched.
