Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!

We made a last minute reservation after getting to LA via train to catch a red eye flight to the East Coast on a Friday night. We showed up with our luggage and the staff was kind enough to stash it for us. We reserved seats at the counter but a table for 2 was open on the front patio. We split a Gem Caesar Salad, Corn Agnolotti Pasta and the Branzino. The salad was well executed but overdressed. The pasta was our favorite part of the meal. The branzino was deboned already when it hit the table. If you are hungry, I would recommend ordering one for yourself with a pasta. This place is great for a date night or intimate dinner with friends.
