The best pasta in LA! Every dish was incredible, the server was great, and the place as a whole definitely lives up to the hype. They even changed plates and utensils for each course. I’m definitely coming back soon to try more from the menu!

Went here on a first date and was not disappointed! The ambience is very cool, the food was amazing, presentation was on point, and the service was exceptional. Was there on a Friday night when they have a DJ spinning, all in all added up to a very hip new location I would be happy to visit again.

All of the dishes are great. We are a group of 4 and we ordered a bunch of as la carte dishes to share. All of the appetizers/ small plates are good. The truffle risotto taste good but the rice is a bit on the hard side. The bread and rosemary butter is divine. For the main we opted for the duck breast which our group enjoyed; however, the $110 rib eye taste just okay despite the great plating. We think there is something off with the cut of the meat. The two desserts are simple but flavorful. Overall we still feel like the restaurant deserves a 4.5 stars.
