Ordered takeout during ‘the quarantine’ and I was very pleased with the service, cleanliness, food quality, and the flavor of my meal. I got the truffle pasta($20), spaghetti with meatballs($21), truffle pizza($29) and eggplant parm ($14).
I really enjoyed the truffle pasta. Cooked perfectly al dente, fragrant with truffle, rich with, I believe, Parmesan, and earthy with the fresh grated truffle. The pizza was, also , praise worthy, but since it was made prior to the pasta it was slightly cold and the cheese had settled. One of the,understandable, cons to ordering take out. I was disappointed when I received the eggplant cold. It ended working out since I was full from the rest of the dishes. Once I did try it, it truly was one of the best eggplant Parmesan I’ve had to date. But for future reference I would suggest serving it heated, give a fair warning, or serve in a tin container for those who don’t have microwaves(ie:me). I will definitely be back for their panino, salads, and more truffle.
I would also like to take time to thank Mario who, very patiently, took my order, cooked, prepared, and checked me out. He was amazing and cooked everything to perfection, thank you Mario and...
Read moreAbsolutely one of my favorite places in LA. It feels like a secret but word has gotten out. All of the product is shipped directly from Italy. The owners have been supplying some of the best of the best restaurants in LA. They have the volume and can now share some of the delicious food in their little cafe. The bread is baked on site, but made and shipped frozen from Italy. Take one home and bake it at home...fresh bread like you’ve never had before. The deli meats and cheeses are delicious, fresh and unbelievably good. I’ve also had lunch on site and I’m in love with the tuna sandwich, just like what I’ve had in Europe. Wow, can’t say enough. Plan your next party with deliciousness from this place. Calvin at the counter will take such good care of you. He’s terrific. The owners are very customer friendly and sometimes I’ll walk in and they’re sitting with customers or their friends, speaking Italian and you feel like you’ve stepped into a little shop in Italy. Keep it up guys, but PLEASE, when are you going to open on the weekends? Can’t wait to see what you bring in for the holidays!...
Read moreOne of the coolest under the radar spots in LA. The food is off the hook amazing. If you like authentic Italian this is the spot. Great selection of Italian wines and beers too. Great salads to start and the pizza was perfectly baked with nice crisp crust, the past perfectly cooked and home made that day. The real stand out for me was the seafood especially the octopus. Its hard to find good octopus. Its either too chewy or a slimy mess. This was perfectly cooked with a hint of smokey finish. The salmon and halibut were...
