    Glad to have the experience of dining here. The highlights of the meal were the pasta and the focaccia bread. The beef dish (fillet roll) came in a delicious sauce, but the meat was underwhelming. We wished we ordered the meatball appetizer, so hopefully next time. Would definitely go back!

    Thanks for dining with us! We're glad you enjoyed the pasta and focaccia. I'm sorry to hear the filet roll wasn’t your favorite—hopefully, the meatballs will hit the spot next time. Looking forward to having you back!

    Barbara and her tiny team are amazing! She makes all her food by hand and prepares the dishes in her tiny kitchen right before your eyes. You can not dine anywhere else like this in LA. Truly special. Brava Barbara keep it small!
