Best Italian restaurant in Los Angeles! Certain to be on Michelin’s next guide and deserving of a star besides. Chef Nicola is brilliant and passionate about his food. You’ll actually see the chef owner in the kitchen, preparing your food so perfectly with pride and love into every dish.

A real gem of culinary experience. Very knowledgeable and friendly host. I've dined several times, and I was taken by an amazing experience every time. I am certain if they served alcohol it would be a much better experience

Amazing as always! Love this place. Great food, incredible atmosphere. I love it because it doesn’t try to do too much. It gives off a neighborhood Italian restaurant vibe, with locals all piling into their favorite spot for a quick dinner. The crowd is organic, staff amazing, and food incredible. Menu staples are great but they always have diverse, delicious specials as well.

Everything was just perfect starting from the excellent cuisine from chef Nicola to the warm welcome from the staff who sat us right away to the attentive service through out the entire dinner and a cozy ambience . We started with a tuna carpaccio and a delicious octopus with fava beans and asparagus accompanied of an excellent crunchy focaccia and spicy garbanzo dip . The lattuga salad will make any Caesar salad turn green of envy then for entrees our table shared huge tubes ( paccheri ) in a crazy delicious tomato sauce with lobster and shrimp ( this one is a must !) , one of the best steaks we have had in town , a very generous dover sole cooked to perfection and some very tasty lamb chops … we skipped dessert . I give them an A+!! Congrats to this new addition to Brentwood ! This place has to be one of the best Italian hangout in town !! Wishing them much success !
