LOVED!!! Service was AMAZING. Our Waiter really helped plan out our dinner. There was 4 in our group. We ordered alot and he helped us time out when to eat what. The portions were perfect. Steak was cooked great. We had skirt, ribeye cab, and short rib.. I couldnt tell you what was the best bc they were all PERFECT. Will be going back! We also really liked how calm and peaceful the whole place was.

Loved the first time we went. Dad decided to come back. Short staffed and fully booked really sacrifices overall rating. Great management. Poor Eddie was overwhelmed and overworked. Couldn’t deliver 5 star service. Kitchen is still amazing. Despite this, highly recommended. Beautiful family-owned establishment.

I really enjoyed my time here. Everyone was pleasant, welcoming, and the food was delicious. However, I would suggest they hire another waiter. They had a few large parties to attend to and not enough staff. Other than that, love the ambiance and would return!

The ambiance is impeccable- low mood lighting, old time classic pictures decorating the walls and a lovely gentleman playing the accordion. From the moment we were greeted at the door and sat down service was perfect. Our food arrived with great timing, dishes were cleared/replaced quickly with each course, drinks replenished. We had the spinach/cheese empanada, burrata (special), capped rib eye, mashed potatoes, mushroom ravioli and a wonderful dessert (I forget what it was called but it was so good!) They also have an extensive wine list. Staff were kind and had a positive/professional demeanor. Would recommend for a date night or dinner with friends. We will be back!

I'm hesitant to say it because I don't want to share this gem with those who arent aware of it yet...but it's the best steakhouse in LA and I'd even say one of the best in all of USA. The rib eye cap, that's all you need to know.

Went there for my birthday , noted it in my reservation details . The food is phenomenal , no fault with the taste . The ambiance is ok, you are getting old fashioned small Italian dining setting, nothing really stood up. Little cramped, but not too bad . The server is a bit condescending, and made jokes that he thinks was funny . Hubby has to remind the sever that was my bday and then he was back with candle in the desert and the music play a bday song . It's was charged to the bill, including $10 per bottle water . So nothing free for the bday occasion . However , again the food is awesome . So if you ok with cramped setting , over charged water and overzealous server , but out if the world food , this is the place .

The Food is always delicious here. This time around I had the Rib eye cap while my wife enjoyed the Short rib. All cooked to perfection. The Provolone appetizer is tasty but the ricotta baked dessert was on point.

Our server recommended a gnocchi in white cream sauce as an appetizer and stuffed mushrooms 10/10 recommend. It may have been a little louder than usual as there was a birthday celebration going on but the ambiance was fantastic.

I see why it has the 5 star rating! Love that It’s an elegant, low-key, family owned restaurant that feels super cozy inside. Brought my husband here for his birthday, he loves steak and couldn’t get enough of the ribeye! He even woke up the morning after his birthday thanking me and saying he was craving it again! Eric was our server and he was amazing! Funny to the point and made sure to steer us in the right direction for steak and wine choice. He checked on us throughout the meal and brought out a delicious ice cream with candle to celebrate. We ordered Prawns for appetizer - delicious garlic butter sauce! Frites - Our eyes popped out our head with how delicious these fries were. Thin, crispy outside and soft on the inside with garlic parsley deliciousness sauce Rib eye - juicy, tender, flavorful mouthwatering. Would order every single time. Hands down! Whole Branzino - so/so would like to try the lamb next time instead

By far, hands down the best meat in town! The Caeser salad special was phenomenal, the Burrata with heirloom tomatoes, excellent. My filet mignon cut like butter and do not miss Max's wine recommendations. He is spot on and the sweetest person, to boot.
