In Short
Gleaming cherry-wood floors and high ceilings set the stage for this bustling eatery. The clientele--mostly affluent 40-something Westsiders--dine at tightly packed wooden tables decorated with orchids and tea lights. Freestanding wine racks hold some of the by-the-glass selections and serve as elegant room dividers. Daily specials are nearly as abundant as regular menu items and can include oven-roasted rabbit, sole with white wine and shellfish, and olive oil and rosemary-infused bistecca.
Know Before You Go

Reservations are essential on weekends and helpful during the week--there's only a tiny waiting area and no bar.

Parking

The surrounding neighborhood has non-restricted street parking after 6pm and there are meters on San Vicente.

When to Go

If you want a quieter dinner, make an early or late reservation--well before 7pm or after 9pm--and ask for a table toward the back of the dining room.

Solid Italian Fanfare

Valet parking out front. The place is mostly consisted of stuffy shirt Breantwood types. I've never seen any kids in this place, which is good. It's hard to eat when there are screaming kids near by.


The staff is pretty friendly. Quick service. The food came out super fast. Although I asked if they have sparkling wine by the glass, and the hostess said she would check and never came back, I assume they didn't.


I think the menu is designed around healthy Italian food (relatively speaking), they have things like turkey and vegetable lasagna, white fish, etc. The bread basket comes with two yummy dips instead of butter, one olive and one butternut squash puree (I think).


Top is off with a capuccino or some porto. Good place for a date, dim lights.
