    Service was fantastic JC took great care of us. Very friendly and offered some great suggestions. Our drinks were amazing and couldn't wait for a second serving. The zucchini blossom was a great suggestion and has become our favorite item to start with. The pasta special was a little disappointing. We also shared the brazino and that was delicious. Thank you for a great time!

    quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in LA. It’s expensive but worth every penny, especially as the restaurant is pretty generous with the portions. The Pane with pistachios and ricotta is amazing along with the the broccolini caesar salad. The uni pasta is simple and elegant, and one of the best i’ve had, especially topped with grade A uni. Don’t skip dessert and take any digestifif offered. $350 for 2 people. Not cheap, but well worth it and unique amongst the many high end choices in Los Angeles
