Favorite place for my boyfriend and I! We go at least once a month! :) we have tried various dishes and we have liked every single one. It has a very romantic and calm vibe to it. Perfect to also have a nice relaxed dinner with friends. Also, the staff is so polite and attentive!

Tip: the gnocchi is one of best I've tried. & I've tried a lot!

Our overall experience was terrific! The complimentary bread was so good my girlfriend ate all of it. The Caesar salad, Bolognese pasta, and bread pudding were amazing. The flavor of the gnocchi Bolognese was delicious but the texture was a little mushy. Service was excellent and price was fantastic! We will definitely come back to this gem next time we're in town!

This was seriously the best food I've ever had in my life. Everything was so fresh, and flavourful. I am absolutely in awe of how incredible the lasagna was, the pasta melted in my mouth. The calamari was also INCREDIBLE !!
10/10 would recommend eating here !! Xoxo

Came here for a Birthday Dinner for my hubby. We had such a great time. We had made reservations & were seated right away. The staff was friendly & attentive. We were served complimentary Bruschetta & were surprised when they brought it to our table. Francisco & Oscar helped us with recommendations of dishes. Very pleasant & helpful with great service attitude. We had Burrata as a starter. Dinner was Lamb chops, Fusilli with chicken, & Pesto Gnocchi. We enjoyed the food & will definitely come back again. Thank you & keep up the good service experience.

By far one of THE best Italian restaurant I've been to! The food was delicious 10/10 & the customer service was through the roof. Couldn't have asked for a better restaurant on a girls night out! I definitely recommend and will be looking forward to going back. I'm recommending this place to all my friends

This was my first trip to this restaurant - my partner and I waited 20 minutes to ask for water as no one came around, and after ordering food, waited another hour for our pasta dishes to be served. Further, the appetizer bread the restaurant served was stale, but the establishment attempted to cover up by toasting it to the point the bread was crackers.

Ants were crawling all over the table and establishment.

I order from here once a week. I like all of their food, their service is impeccable. I like the chicken piccata and the shrimp Diablo pasta dish is really good!. Their pizzas are also great, I usually ask for them to good It well done because I like a crispy crust.

I took my daughter here after a day date in Malibu to celebrate her birthday. She wanted to go to an Italian restaurant, so I looked some up in the area & decided to try this place out. I made reservations for 7, because I wasn't sure how busy it gets on Sunday night but it wasn't too busy. It seemed as though people were able to walk up & be seated. Service was amazing. I love small, intimate restaurants for that reason.

The wine was delicious & my daughter got a raspberry tea that came out in a glass over a little pitcher of ice, that she thought was super cool. The food

Excellent food. We got the lamb chops, the sole in almond crust, and from the kids menu spaghetti with meatballs. Everybody happy. The desserts were also good (three layers chocolate mousse in pic).
Overall slightly overpriced: 8$ for 6 (six!!!) pieces of vegetable (of which 3 broccoli) from the kid menu as side dish…

Such a cute romantic place right on the coast in Malibu. It was really dreamy and I definitely recommend to take a try.
we tried some cheesy gnocchi and pasta with a creamy pink sauce and salmon everything was amazing. And again completely obsessed with the little set up they have very romantic and quiet ( other then street traffic of course).

Great food and service. We sat in the backyard behind the parking with heaters. It was cozy. The food was great. From caprese and arancini to branzino and Pollo milanese and gnocchi. And great macchiato to finish it all. Really great experience.
