Dina and Steve Samson are making their return to the Westside with Superfine Playa - a California osteria serving light and bright Italian highlighting fresh, local produce and true California vibes. Located at Silicon Beach’s Runway Playa Vista, the duo will offer a full-service dining experience, opening with dinner and weekend brunch.
Superfine Playa features house-made pastas, wood-grilled meats and fish, and dishes highlighting seasonal produce. Chef Mo Marvel is leading up the kitchen alongside Steve, having moved over from his position as sous chef at Rossoblu. There is also a full-service bar with craft cocktails by Ella Zoller of Honey House. Ella also curates the beer list. The wine list, which focuses on family growers and winemakers, is curated by James Saidy and Dina Samson; and there will eventually be a happy hour and a bar menu to accompany. Soon, they will also serve a hybrid NY and Neapolitan-style pizza made famous by Steve at Superfine Pizza in Downtown LA.

    I came back for the eggplant parm, which was the best I’ve ever had! I shared that along with the equally delicious farro salad that a friend raved about. The service was great & the meal was topped off with a pistachio & chocolate chip cannoli that will also live on in my dreams.

    Really enjoyed dinner at this restaurant last evening. Dishes we had: fried calamari, chopped salad, meatballs, and farro salad. All were deliciously prepared and nicely presented. The meatballs were exceptional. Portions were very ample; prices are not over the top and there are no extra charges for kitchen staff, etc. (Btw, we are angered by all the fees some restaurants charge along with their exorbitant food prices. SuperFine Playa is reasonable for the quality of food they serve and there are no hidden extra fees.....this is a huge plus for this restaurant.) The wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food comes out quickly and is the appropriate temperature. All in all, going to this restaurant was an enjoyable experience. We'll not only go again, but will also recommend it to our friends.

    I loved the Aperol Spritz. I could have drunken lots of them!! The tuna appetizer was good. My pasta was underdone and my dads meatballs were too dense and under seasoned. I think the chefs need to work on their skills some more. Deserts were good & bread was good.

    I’m already making plans to bring all of my friends! The eggplant parmigiana was the best I’ve ever had, and the lemon bar was also the most delicious way to end a truly wonderful meal. Oh, and the focaccia? I could have eaten the entire loaf. And the spreads are something I’m going to challenge my husband to recreate ASAP!

    I was looking for Italian and stumbled upon Superfine. The restaurant decor is lovely with a window into the kitchen. They have outside, inside and patio seating. I had the coal roasted beets. They were delicious with a sunflower aioli. The chopped salad was not as good as North Italia and it had too many salty items - capers and olives. You only need one of them as both made it very salty. We had the sea bass which was nice. The warm potato "salad" was more like just regular warm and seasoned potatoes. The bolognese was new and needed a bit more sauce. The grilled bread was yummy. We ordered a side order for two people. The service there was great. He checked on us several times between our courses. The chianti was smooth. I think they will do well. It is very good start.

    Pasta with lamb ragu delightfully infused with mint. Calamari light and crispy with two flavorful sauces. Gem salad, simple with a touch of grilled lettuce. Appreciate the quality ingredients and fresh, simple preparations. So many chef's overdo it and make things too complex. My Southern Italian mom thought the eggplant parmesan was excellent -- and she is very particular!

    You know it's not ideal when the foccacia is the best part of the meal. Service was scattered and inattentive. Food was mediocre at best. Calamari was fine, but zero to distinguish it from any other fried calamari anywhere. New on the menu since my last visit was the Crispy Pork Belly. Overly sweet, under seasoned, and the outside crackling was frustratingly both chewy and too hard. A very big fail. 2 pastas - Gnochetti and Cassarece. Under seasoned - desperately needing salt, and the Gnochetti was too soft and the Cassarece was beyond al dente. Front of the house should know what's going on with the kitchen and the kitchen should be tasting the food before it gets to a patron's table. This is my 3rd time and sadly will be my last time at the restaurant. Too many choices in the area to pay these prices and receive mediocre fare and the disinterested service. The place was not full, and the servers seemed scattered and disorganized. Also, big pet peeve, a table that rocks. Asked to have it be fixed, and someone tried while saying "these tables are tough". It's really distracting from an enjoyable experience to have the table rocking back and forth while eating and talking.

    This was our second time dining at Superfine. The first time was when they first opened. The place was buzzing and the food was great. We loved every dish we ordered. This most recent dining experience was nothing like the first. My pasta dish and my husband's pasta dish were tasteless, just very bland and ho hum. The focaccia was so-so and the meatball appetizer was again ho -hum. I did not expect Rossoblu level of food, but Superfine, you can do better than this. We will hesitate to go back. I do want to say the server was very nice.

    Being an Italian restaurant, we expect their pasta dishes are exceptional. But it was just OK. The seabass is actually better. The service is the worst. The server walked by us twice and said she would be right there. When she finally came, the server asked if we wanted bottle/spring water or tap water. Don't like they refer regular water as tap water as that sounds really cheap and did not want us to order that. Also, it took 2 reminders for the server to bring additional water afterwards and lemon & honey for the tea we ordered.

    This is such a great spot for a dining experience where you'd know you'd have a great meal and great service. The staff were friendly and hospitable although it was very busy and service took a little longer than usual. The space and ambiance was inviting and it looked great from larger groups. The food was so-so, nothing too special or unique but I appreciated the portions with the main course being very generous. I also liked the variety of offerings.

    Would try different things if we went back, the Nor'easter (both presentation - hate the small format - and the over-mix of bitters/Braulio) was not a winner. I bet we have a much better experience if we go pasta / steak and wine.
