The best restaurant in LA!! I really loved their kindness and the food. Pizza was awesome and spaghetti was super delicious. Yesterday was holiday so I could not enjoy here, but it was worth to wait to come here!! The waitress said the bakery was closed today so the bread is not that great as usual. I found the reason to come back to LA from Korea!! The people who work here were super super kind !! Thank you we enjoyed a lot.

First time eating here and it was a nice experience. The food was delicious and hot. Hosts,waitresses, servers, and staff were all friendly. I had chicken Parmigiano. My girlfriend had fettuccine aflredo. I eat out a lot, and most restaurant staff ignore guests, not here they were very attentive. It was packed . We waited over 30 mins for a table but was well worth it. Next time, we will make reservations. Also food was very affordable. Small parking lot in the back, but there is street parking. Also, all diners come with a free small soup and salad. Tiramisu was delicious.

This has been my go-to for yummy, homemade Italian food for decades. Such cute, cozy vibes inside. They also have a wonderful to-go option, which is what I did tonight for New Year’s Eve. All the entrees come with soup and salad, so it’s also pretty affordable.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This may not be the fanciest of places, but their main dishes are superb!! We haven’t had this good of an Italian meal in such a long time! We had the lasagna and the Fettuccine pesto with 2 meatballs and they were freshest, tastiest meals! Each came with soup, minestrone of course, and a little side salad. The portions were perfection! We had the tiramisu which was equally delightful. This is a wonderful, good old fashioned feel of a place. It’s a family owned place for over 50 years and the care and quality they put into everything seems as fresh as if it a brand new place. It’s our favorite new place. As the waiter said to us as we were leaving, See you tomorrow! Indeed!

We stopped by here on our way home from Universal Studios. Not too far from freeway. We were hands down impressed with the old school Italian restaurant. Service was warm and friendly Justena was our server. And Jose kept refilling our drinks. They both were on point. Food was exceptionally delicious. Best I have had so far. My husband who got the left overs was raving as to how good it was and surprised we had left overs. We got spumoni for dessert. I don’t even care for it , but theirs was so yummy my daughter and I shared. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back.
