No Out-Door dining. STAY SAFE!
The LA CAVA concept is based on Armando's roots. Born and raised in Florence, he grew up learning that as a local, one would go dining in the little Osterias where everything was made fresh daily, prepared with basic ingredients, simple recipes, delightful flavors and lots of love, for a fantastic experience that was also "gentle" on your wallet.

Amazing food with great wine choices. Authentic Italian food. Great service!
Very good creative food. We had Polenta with Truffles that was well worth the price.
For the main course we had Branzino that was boned and quite good. We had a blueberry tart for desert. We had a Cuvaison Chardonnay the was also quite reasonably priced. The only drawback was dining outside near a busy Ventura Blvd, that was pretty noisy. However, the plastic curtains cut down on the noise, and during Covid 19 this was an acceptable seating arrangement
Amazing food and service. A real neighborhood gem.
Amazing food and service!! Coming back here again!
It was a wonderful place for date night the wine was incredible
Food was AMAZING!!
Hands down the best Italian in the valley!!
Great, we love La Cava. We went a couple months ago and decided to come back again
The food here is really excellent. Sadly with covid you have to sit outside but they have space heaters and try to keep things as comfortable as is possible. The service was really wonderful and the menu selection is great and has a ton of options. I would definitely recommend!
Dined outside so ambiance was on the weather not the restaurant.
First time here with my family and it was beyond amazing! Loved our waiter and service! Delicious food. Definitely going back!
Very cute little Italian restaurant. Good food, nice people
Great experience and delicious food!
Great service, great food, great wine.. what more can I say? Because of Covid of course we were outside on the sidewalk next to Ventura Blvd., but who cares! We were out of the house having a wonderful meal!
Good basic Italian food, prepared with care, very good wine

ARRIVDERCI. ECI CON AMORE
What a great experience !! I ordered the trout and it was delicious. The atmosphere was nice. The food and service was good. And not expensive at all
This is our first time there. The food and service was excellent. Friendly atmosphere. Will definitely go back.
This is my go-to restaurant. There is nothing better than it on this side of the hill ... and sometimes over the hill! If you are a perfect pizza fanatic, theirs is absolutely the best every time. Pastas are especially excellent. I love their pesto, myself. The staff is beyond attentive. I cannot say enough ... they are the best!
I wanted to like it, but I wouldn’t go back again. The food was okay, not a lot of flavor, and definitely not worth the price. The people were very nice, but it took forever for the food. You had to ask for everything and they would forget to bring it, so you had to ask several times.
Excellent!
Thanks for making a socially distant meal still be a special meal!
Perfect for a date night :)
The Best atmosphere food service the best
Branzino was excellent - one of the best I've had in LA. I didn't like produce in salad - tomato was underripe and didn't care for pushy upselling attitude couple with lack of attention and tact of the waitstaff.
Wonderful service
Amazing and yummy! We loved Ernersto The Besto and Justin...Love that place
It was great
Absolutely delicious food and attentive service!!

The best food, authentic Italian. Will always be my fav place to eat. Their pizza is unbelievable and Every pasta dish is fresh and made to order. Highly recommended
Great food and service! We will be back!
I went there during a holiday in LA. I come from Italy and food at “La Cava” is as amazing as in my country, or maybe even better. Well deserved five stars!
Great experience with my wife will continue coming back
We LOVE La Cava!!!! The food is amazing and literally I think this is the best Bolognese in town!!!!
Only thing that would make this a perfect restaurant would be if there was a full bar. That being said it's a perfect neighborhood spot with out without kids! Thanks
I’m from Italy, and I couldn’t be more satisfied of my experience at La Cava! It really surprised me for it’s excellent service and food. The owner was really polite too, and made us have an unforgettable night. Better than in Italy!
The food is tasty, the service was good, the tables are too close to each other, and the noise level is incredibly ear popping.
Wonderful Evening with Excellent Food, Staff, and Evening. I highly recommend this restaurant.
