favorite restaurant in the whole of Los Angeles my only Comment is the music techno music in the middle of the day was drowning , yes, but he heard it too loud say him … I did hear a Tony Bennett song in the middle of that so I’m not sure maybe a afternoon crowd at 2 o’clock older. Otherwise, as always food with exceptional service, exceptional tablecloth crisp white , clean . delicious bread great service. And not gouging of prices since the beginning of the year, I appreciate that.

Very quiet, welcoming italian restaurant. Went for dinner and the best ragu ever, which pairs well with their greppicante red wine! Would come back again during lunch and try their samdwiches because their pizza dough and bread on salad were really good.
