About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for outdoor dining

Tucked within a lush, hidden garden in the heart of Santa Monica, Fia is a coastal retreat where exceptional food and warm hospitality meet. The newest creation from hospitality visionary Michael Greco, Fia was brought to life by acclaimed designer Matt Winter, who transformed the space into an urban oasis that feels both transportive and intimate.

At the helm of the kitchen is Executive Chef Tim Cardenas, whose seasonal menu—rooted in California and Italian coastal cuisine—delivers bold flavors and refined execution. Chef Cardenas showcases the finest local ingredients, crafting dishes that are as satisfying as they are memorable.

Greco’s guiding hospitality mantra—Service, Service, Service—is felt in every detail, from the personalized guest experience to the attentive, knowledgeable staff. Complementing the menu are carefully curated cocktails and a thoughtfully selected wine list featuring both Old and New World expressions.

We had a wonderful evening at Fia. The outdoor seating was lovely and our server, Brittany, was amazing! She catered to our every need promptly and professionally. We started with the meatballs which were delicious…they practically melt in your mouth and the marinara sauce and accompanying bread …fabulous. Next came the salad. We are picky about our Caesar’s Salad, but Fia knocked it out of the park. We shared it which was good because it was huge. Served with fresh anchovies, very crisp romaine and the dressing was on point…perfect blend of garlic and lemon…neither overpowering the other. And the piece de resistance was our main entree which again, we shared…Parmesan Chicken. It was divine! First of all, it could easily feed three people. It was lightly breaded and very tender and moist. Seasoned just right with just the right amount of melted cheese on top and that marinara sauce!!!! Valet parking was a plus.
