Love the vibe and service. Food is good. Drinks are nice as well here. Place looks very vibrant. Nando and his team are amazing. There is a cute little vespa parked which is adorable and overall good spot! I had sicilian palmer and it was fab. Oh and they have amazing cookies.

Service is incredible here!! If you’re looking for a local feel and personable connection this is the place. It’s a charming eatery with amazing food and coffee. Their signature pistachio latte is a must try it was so good. So glad I came across this, I’ll be back!

Man of man, where do I start?! This place is phenomenal!!! It all started when my wife and baby were taking a walk in the neighborhood, and she sent me a picture of their storefront knowing how much I love and have a hard time finding Italian food places here in LA. Well technically, Italian food places that I like lol Being an Italian American, born and raised in New York City, I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to Italian foods and pastries in LA. So when my family and I came in not too long ago to give them a try, my guard was up lol
But our first impression blew me away! The customer service was phenomenal. The young ladies behind the counter was so friendly and patient as my wife and I were deciding on what to get while dealing with our baby running around the store. And then we met the wonderful, generous and sweet owner, Nando. Who on his way out, took the time to introduce himself and chat with my family and I. We instantly connected on being Italian and now in the Los Angeles area.
Since then, my family and I have been inside a handful of times ordering and enjoying a handful of mini items. Their Italian coffee is delicious, so much so that I’ve even started to purchase their espresso for me to enjoy at home. And their cannoli, is a real authentic cannoli. Something I have missed dearly since I’ve been here in Los Angeles. Even when I have found places that also have real authentic cannolis, there’s just something about this that is delicious. It is freshly made and filled to order. How it should be!
Although the pastries are fantastic. But honestly speaking, because I’m always honest in my reviews. Some of their pastries are not for everyone. They have pastries that are on the sweeter end, if you are into those and pastries that aren’t so much. Including another childhood lifelong favorite Italian pastry of mine called, sfogliatella. I’m not ashamed to admit, the first time I been to this, tears came to my eyes lol
This place to me is special, it reminds me of home and my family in so many ways. I can go on and on about how delicious everything is and just how overall fantastic the vibe and energy is when you walk in those doors. But I won’t bore you, I’ll just highly recommend you stop by for a delicious cup of espresso and something to eat. You won’t be disappointed!

Tried a fantastic Italian spot today and it was a great experience from start to finish. We ordered the sandwich, focaccia, and a pinsa — all three were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made.
To our surprise, they even gave us a complimentary Ricotta Spinaci, which was absolutely delicious and a really nice touch.
Great service, friendly staff, and quality food all around. Definitely a must-try if you’re craving authentic Italian flavors. We’ll be coming back for sure!

Absolutely delightful experience! I tried the pistachio cream croissant, which, as the kind owner explained, is imported directly from Italy and freshly warmed on-site. The flavor was simply outstanding buttery, delicate, with the most luscious pistachio filling I’ve ever had. You can truly taste the quality ‼️‼️nothing artificial, no preservatives, just pure, authentic flavor.
I also had the pistachio coffee, and wow!!!! it was truly pistachio! Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. No synthetic aftertaste, just real, beautiful taste in every sip.
Thank you so much for this experience. I will definitely be back!

If you’re debating whether you should walk in or not, just do it! 1) the service is phenomenal and 2) believe it or not – the food is even better. We strolled in after a long day just to grab a quick bite and we were not disappointed. We got the caprese sandwich- the focaccia bread was so crunchy & it tasted super fresh (probably one of the best we’ve had). We also got pistachio latte & that was also to die for. We’ll def be coming back!

Amazing cafe. I’ve had their espresso and pizza and they’re both SO good. The staff is really nice and there’s a small amount of seating inside and outside. The café is pretty quiet so can be a good spot to work a little or to have a nice conversation. There is street parking nearby too. Highly recommend!
