    One of favorite timeless restaurants in Los Angeles. Each time we visit, the menu has updates and they never disappoint! This time: a delicious burgundy from a great wine list, the autumn tortoloni were exquisite and unique as was the black cod (prepared differently that we’ve ever experienced), and the dry aged duck was beautifully plated with a wonderful potato side. Their Meringue Gelato might still be the best dessert in LA. And excellent, kind service. Always a treat to dine here!
