    We’ve lived in Encino for 40 years and this was our first visit to this “neighborhood gem”. We had high hopes as we loved the ambience and closeness of this place to our home. However, as Encino always seems to always disappoint us (foodies) - it did so again. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. But everything, from the focaccia served almost immediately after we sat down, to the Caesar, linguini Bolognese, and sea-bass that we shared, was really just mediocre at best. Unfortunately, we will never venture back……

    I love this spot - everyone is so welcoming and the food is amazing!!!!! I go early because of some driving at night issues, so there weren't many others there, but I truly hope that they get busy later, and/or that people in the neighborhood start discovering this place, because I want them to be there as my go-to for a long time.

    The food was truly excellent! Highlights were the cacio e pepe and the pistachio passion cake from Italy (we’re not big cake people but this was so lovely and light, great rec from our waiter!) Great low key neighborhood spot!
