This became our favorite restaurant. Food is so fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend getting their cheeses. They make a super cute cheese board for you to eat the cheese with. Their happy hour prices and portions sizes are well thought out. I am addicted to their desserts… Service is also amazing!

We enjoyed our cheese wheel pasta and the do it yourself cheese plate. The toasted sourdough was delicious and went well with cheese. The atmosphere was not too noisy. The restaurant appears to be neighborhood hangout and family friendly. We would go back!

What a gem! Crazy cheese selection, an entire page of the menu dedicated to just cheese. We did a charcuterie, bolognese, lasagna, tiramisu. All phenomenal. Amazing service and one of the best meals Ive had in a while.

We ordered take-out from Forma Santa Monica and absolutely loved it. The pasta was delicious and everything was fresh and well prepared. There was a small mistake with our order, but the team handled it very quickly and professionally. Great food and great service, we’ll definitely be back!

I love this place and have been coming here for years. The Fettuccine Bolognese, Burrata, Cacio e Pepe, Roasted Gnocchi are always incredible.
The service can be pretty silly tho. Most of the servers are pretty cold, unfriendly men and it’s kind of odd considering the rest of the experience like the food and atmosphere are excellent.

Amazing pasta! It tastes almost exactly like the pasta came from Italy and it came fast! Great service, staff was very nice. The pasta was fresh and flavorful and I would recommend it to anyone who loves good pasta.

One of the best Italian spots I’ve tried in a while. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the ambiance was relaxed but elegant, and the service was genuinely kind. You can tell they care about every detail. Definitely coming back!

Went there for dinner and had a great experience. We made the reservation a few weeks in advance and sat inside. Really broad range of menu items and would highly recommend any of the items tossed in the cheese wheel. Very nice drink and appetizer selection as well.

Finally came and tried this place!
First the restaurant is really nice, there are some seats at the bar and the restaurant is quite big. And, they also have the spot where they prepare the dishes with cheese at the back of the restaurant.
In terms of options, there are a lot. We didn’t explore this time, but did see some cheeses that looked good. So, for my next time for sure. But, otherwise, there’s a variety of dishes options, which is great.
We got the burrata – that was the only thing a bit disappointing to be honest. Loved the seasoning of the beets. The leafs of salad were a bit blend. But, most importantly, the burrata itself wasn’t as tasty as I like it. In my opinion, it was not very tasteful, and I have definitely tried some way better than this one. I thought for a cheese bar they would have top burrata, but doesn’t look like it.
For the main dishes, we got very basic ones such as cacio e pepe and the bolognese. And, it was delicious. Their version of bolognese with the cream was so good. The pieces of cheese melting on top was perfect. The portion is also very decent.
They do have some dessert options, but we didn’t try.
Overall, it’s a great place with a very nice vibe. The food was great and I’m excited to come back and try more of it!
