I came here with 4 friends on a Friday evening and it wasn't crowded. I did a phone reservation a few days before. We ordered margherita pizza and 3 pasta dishes of the following: Spaghettini Con Anatra (homemade spaghettini with duck ragu sauce), Spaghetti Alla Carbonara Romana (spaghetti with pork cheeks & egg) & Fetuccine Al Funghi (hand cut egg noodles w/ portobella & porcini mushrooms). I was glad that my friends and I shared all the pasta dishes to try a few bites from each. I love that their pasta is hand made. Each pasta is also al dente (chewy & firm). The duck ragu pasta dish was pretty light in flavor but still flavorful with the duck. The mushrooms were juicy and fresh and the egg noodles were wonderful. The carbonara dish was quite rich and creamy in flavor but its crispy bacon and peppery taste balanced out the richness from the cheese. The pizza was also delicious with the thin crust and char from wood fire. It was juicy from the tomatoes & cheesy. The pesto sauce was al
One of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles. The Pumpkin Gnocchi was world class. Dare one say “the cream of the crop” even for Gelato...
Fantastic gelato and cannolis! This place is a hidden gem and an absolutely superb culinary treat. This was our first time here and we will certainly be back again and again. The fresh peach (seasonal) sorbet was the best I’ve ever tasted and the cannolis were as good as Mike’s or Modern in Boston. If you order a gelato, go for the medium. It is only a slightly higher cost, but you’ll get much more gelato. The prices may seem high, but you get what you pay for and the high quality is worth the cost. Without exaggeration, this was the best gelato I’ve had in California.
