Love & Salt is a story that begins with Cafe Pierre, a restaurant birthed by Guy Gabriele in 1977 to bring a taste of France to Los Angeles’ South Bay. While Cafe Pierre was a beloved part of the community for nearly 37 years, in 2014, Guy and his daughter Sylvie Gabriele, now the owner of Love & Salt, closed the restaurant to bring new life to the iconic space. Love & Salt is a philosophy: that food needs only two ingredients to be great. It’s a sensibility that informs the feeling in the restaurant and the dishes on the menu — Italian-inspired with Southern California soul. An approachable wine list and classic cocktail program similarly reflect the vibrant SoCal setting of the restaurant, located just steps from the Manhattan Beach pier
Refined, contemporary dining room with a sky-lit domed ceiling serving Italian bistro fare.

Wanted-craved-great Italian food. Found it at Love&Salt. Atmosphere was great…we sat at the bar facing the sous chef near the kitchen. The service was personal but not bothersome. We were able to chat and hang out and eat leisurely. We ordered the raddicchio salad for appetizer, then the Rigatoni Carbonara, and the Creste di Gallo Midollo pasta with bone marrow. We finished off with tiramisu’ of course. Top notch, definitely coming back.

One of our all time favorites. Cute place, great location right in MB. Food and drinks always good. If you have been here and didn’t get the chicken, go again immediately and get it! Pasta so good, especially salsiccia. We had corn ribs and that was a game changer, will get that every time now. Will keep going as long as it’s there!

I didn’t choose this restaurant myself—a friend picked it because she’s pescatarian and the menu suited her dietary preferences. While I can appreciate that, I personally found the options a bit disappointing. I ended up ordering a salad, which unfortunately couldn’t be customized with any protein, and a small plate of olives.
That said, others at the table seemed to enjoy their dishes more, so it might just come down to personal taste. I will give credit where it’s due: the drinks were immaculate—definitely a highlight of the evening. The dessert, on the other hand, was just okay.
Overall, it wasn’t quite the experience I was hoping for, and I wouldn’t choose to return. However, if you take a look at the menu and it excites you, this could very well be a great spot for your palate. Just not mine.

Our favorite restaurant in LA!
Chef Chris and Sara are both incredible chefs and lovely people. The entire staff is welcoming, efficient and professional. Make sure to get the Baltimore signature if he is on pasta duty!
We’ve had almost everything on the menu, and it leaves us speechless every visit. Our favorites are the chopped salad, tuna crudo, meatballs, vodka sausage pizza, half chicken, and sausage pasta. But you really can’t go wrong!
Love and salt is a must try. Go check it out.

We chose this for our Father’s Day dinner. Love the vibe — warm, buzzy, and very Manhattan Beach — but the menu continues to shrink when it comes to solid vegetarian options (and even more so for vegans).
The pasta we ordered was decent but seriously small — not enough for one person. My salad was also tiny. The pizza, though, is generously portioned and really good.
Drinks were excellent — mine was strong,
Ahem.
They do rotate the menu, and on past visits I’ve found more variety, especially for vegetarian diners looking for something lighter or less creamy.
Reservations are a must.
The three stars are lack of variety for vegetarian diners and the tiny portion sizes given the prices.

Champagne was perfectly icey cold and bubbly. Fennel salad was excellent and unique. Chopped salad was good. Pizza was great. But oh my.. don’t forget dessert. The butter cake was FABULOUS.

Love & Salt is a gem for Neapolitan-style pizza! The dough is perfect—light, airy, and perfectly cooked—and they use only the best ingredients, which truly makes a difference in flavor. The service is excellent, and the restaurant’s location in the heart of Manhattan Beach adds to the overall charm. A wonderful spot for an exceptional dining experience!

One of our favorite spots in Manhattan Beach! Pasta and pizza are always delicious, the cocktails are amazing, and the service is fantastic. We love that you don’t always need a reservation, so it’s easy to stop by anytime. Perfect for a relaxed date night!

Great service. Got the yellowtail crudo, burrata salad, arancini, stuffed shells and Fig pizza for two but ended up taking home most of the pizza and shells. All were delicious and would get them again in a second. Worth the effort to get a reservation in advance.

Decent atmosphere, kinda dark and fairly loud. Food was over all good. The meatballs were good, but nothing crazy. The ricotta wip was a good addition to them and the bread was good and crispy. The mushrooms lasagna was absolutely over powered by the balsamic and wayyyy too sweet. The egg pizza was delicious from the dough to the toppings. The desserts however were best described by my friend as grocery store desserts. Tiramisu was ok, missing half a layer… Strawberry shortcake a hard pass. Neither worth it imo.
