Price: Expensive
• Italian • Manhattan Beach
Booked 52 times today
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.

    The food is incredible and they know it. The baba ghanoush is the best I’ve ever had, and the prawns are incredible. The servers are attentive, even when the kitchen is somewhat backed up. It is quite a loud environment — sparse walls and tile bounce sound around the room and you’re definitely projecting (yelling?) to have conversation. The high top seating is NOT comfortable at all… there isn’t enough space for a family style small plates experience. But sitting elsewhere is wonderful.

    It’s worth it. The food was delicious, we did a wine pairing with our meal which was perfect. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and we were amazed by how spot on the pairings were with each dish. Highly recommend adding that to your meal if you like wine. Service was great, the ambience was very intimate. I recommend the crudo (very refreshing) and the ribeye - of course! We almost did not get a window seat but luckily a table was wrapping up when we arrived and the hostess was quick to give us the option to switch to window seating. It really made our entire experience of celebrating a birthday so much more enjoyable.
