Reviews
I didn’t get to try every dish our table ordered but the food I did try tasted good, best way I can describe it is that they were very solid and satisfactory. The dishes provided tame flavors, nothing too extreme or too unnoticeable but a happy medium. The portions were good enough where an entree will clearly fill you up, even the appetizers were a good enough size that if you chose to order one instead of an entree you’d be able to pull it off, if you prefer a smaller amount of food.
The ambiance felt very family friendly which would explain the frequency of large groups I noticed very quickly once we entered the restaurant.
The service was solid and the staff was courteous, we did not wait too long for attention and the staff was able to answer all the questions we had and assist wherever we needed it.
There was a little parking in the back and if it got full we would have easily found street parking all around the restaurant.
Overall we all enjoyed our visit to the restaurant and I can see myself coming back in the future whenever I’m in the mood for Italian food.
Everything we ordered:
-fiuggi (sparkling water)
-bourbon cooler (drink)
-very berry mule (drink)
-black manhatten (drink)
-the 1908 (drink)
-NY sour (drink)
-butter with black salt and rosemary bread
-Grilled Calamari
-Rigatoni Varese
-Pollo Ruspante
-Veal Chop
-Filetto di Manzo
-Farfalle alla vodka e Prosciutto
-Lasagna Bolognese
-Meat Balls
-Baked Red Snapper with carrots and broccolini
Overall, we were extremely disappointed. I have no reason to come back here based on the food cook and treatment from upper management.
1 Star for the Serving Staff

And now the gory details…
ORDERED
Beef Tartare
Beet & goat cheese salad
Lobster risotto
New York strip steak
Cocktails; Japanese and Pear
Beef Tartare aka Beef Martini; half of it was green olives, and the other half was pureed beef. It looked like cat food, and tasted of olives, sans salt.
Beet salad was lightly threatened with goat cheese (which is supposedly the 2nd key ingredient). When I asked for some more cheese, no one ever mentioned they would charge me for it! #badForm
Lobster risotto.
Probably the better of the two entrees. Lacking seasoning.
NY Steak, Ordered Black and Blue (charred outside, red in the middle)
= Fail. No char or crust. The sides weren’t even seared.
The intro bread was dense, dry, and underbaked.
THE KICKER…
Before we even arrived I received a call from the Manager asking if we could arrive earlier so they could accommodate a party that came after us.
I found this extremely off putting, as it made us feel as though we had to rush so they could accommodate the impending ghost guests.
When I called back to let them know we would try to arrive sooner. They NEVER offered to do anything to thank us for considering to change our schedule to accommodate them.
When we arrived early. Same. No thanks. Nothing.
I ordered the Lychee collins and it was tasty. No strong alcohol taste but definitely had a kick. The cucumber cosmo was light and fresh.
We had affogatos (one decaf and one regular) and they were superb! I almost ordered another round.
All in all, great place for a casual dinner. We took our 8 month old and they had a high chair and were very accommodating. Our server, his name escapes me, was attentive and took good care of us. Can’t wait to go back!
*Parking in the back. This restaurant is in a plaza and there is a small parking lot attached, immediately behind. Since we went at night, the other businesses were closed so there was plenty of spaces. Also metered parking on the side.
Waiter was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable about the menu. One person in our party had some modifications on their filet and they were followed precisely. We had a fairly large group and the service was fast. My water glass was always full thanks to the waiters.
I had the filet mignon with quail egg and mushrooms. It came perfectly medium rare on bed of spinach. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The plating was gorgeous with edible flowers. My partner had the lamb carre (second photo) which was in a garlic sauce with mashed potatoes and veggies. It was delightful! The best lamb we’ve had in Los Angeles. Other members of our party had the jidori chicken, the veal, the salmon, the truffle pasta, and the montebianco salad. I don’t have photos of those because everyone dug in so fast! But everyone was pleased with their meal and all plates were cleaned. They also have an extensive bar.
Can’t wait to come for happy hour and check out the cocktails next.
We were greaciously greeted and seated almost immediately considering how busy the staff was. Our server Suzy gave us some impeccable dinner suggestions. Everything we ordered was to our delight. The calamari appetizer on a bed of spinach was beautiful as well as delicious. Our salad was simple in ingredients but had a well-rounded flavor and texture experience. The entrees were created to perfection, the signature ‘Terra e Mare’ (Surf & Turf) was surved on a board as well as the lobster pasta dish. We finished the meal with their tiramisu which paired well with a 10 year port wine.
Upon leaving, the owner, Steve, graciously thanked us for visiting. We won’t be hesitating to bring our friends our family here next time since their private terrace area was quiet enough despite it facing Ventura Blvd. Please note, although it is an outside patio, it is still air conditioned and has outdoor heaters.
