Reviews
The Manhattan was weak and the barware uncomfortable to hold. So I would give the bar 3 1/2 stars. But everything else was very good. Was it worth the drive from Tarzana? Probably only if you are someone that has to try a new Italian place. Would I go back? Not if I was buying. The prices are way too high for what it is. $60 for sea bass in an Oak Park shopping center? Nah…
Roberto, co-owner and GM, was in his usual professional & warm demeanor. Master chef and co-owner Maurizio was not there but I experienced the superb imprint of his cooking nonetheless. Sharam, veteran waiter who’s been there for decades, was attentive as always, never short of recommendations.
The warm octopus & calamari arugula salad was a delightful starter; the linguine with clams was flawless, the branzino was perfectly grilled, served with a unique sauce, the tiramisu was a classic winner.
Nice touches too: the negroni cocktail was served in an elegant martini glass; the Sancerre, though by no means Italian, was a lovely white wine by the glass option.
One thing: the elegant somewhat dark ambience might benefit from a facelift: how about a sunny & bright Puglian palette?
