this place was truly amazing! the front has an italian deli charm, while the seating area has chic dine-in energy. a lot of options for dining al fresco on their garden patio, nicely walled off from the street and sidewalk by lush greenery. the staff were friendly, funny, and attentive. the portions were massive and delicious! we kept commenting on how this was true Italian hospitality!

Service was amazing, the man who served me was very kind! Food was delicious as well, and the dining area was very warm. I totally recommend the place, get the spaghetti!

This place has amazing service and food. Let Antonio bring you whatever he thinks you would like. Excellent Italian! Will come back!!

They gave me five different things for free! I would have tipped more if I could have! It was a great experience.

I always love eating here. Cozy outdoor vibes in Venice Beach. It's the best sauce I've had outside of New York. Like, their sauce is so good I am blown away by it every time. The calamari is my favorite app and their mains are all really good. I used to get the chicken parm which they don't have anymore but the lasagna is great. When I used to come here a few years ago you had to bring your own wine but they serve alcohol now. It's not fancy, just real deal Old School Italianamerican food that's hard to find outside of the Northeast with a great vibe. Highly recommend especially for a date.

This place is a cool hidden gem but not too hidden. The man at the counter is incredibly kind, reassuring that everything is freshly cooked. Such a great experience of good Italian food.

Amazing food! Everything is so fresh and delicious! Lovely ambiance, especially to sit outside. Service is fast and the owner is very kind. Highly recommend!

We were on our way to our favorite sushi place when we were drawn to the happy sounds of laughter coming from the patio. The smell of garlic and tomato sauce drew us inside and we are so glad we stayed. This unassuming pizza and pasta place is a one-man-show complete with personalized, heartfelt service and delicious filling food. What a fun serendipitous evening! We had the pasta puttanesca - mildly spicy garlic and tomato sauce over linguini noodles with olives, capers, peppers and mushrooms. I opted to skip the anchovies. It was delicious! We took half home for the next day. We also ordered the penne arrabiatta (sp?) with chicken - spicy and slightly creamy tomato sauce that was cooked perfectly. We also took half of that home! Topped off with a bottle of Chianti (it was warm but otherwise delicious and reasonably priced) and we got a bottle of San pelligrino sparkling water. All for under $100 for 2. We felt like we were dining at an Italian trattoria. It seemed like the customers who joined us on the patio were all from out of town. We just moved to the neighborhood and we can see making this our go to date night spot.(also posted this review to google)

Such a cute spot and place! The food was AMAZING! The Greek salad and pizza was a perfect lunch. The owner was the PERFECT host!!! Thank you

Had an excellent dinner with my girlfriend here. The food was great (good prices with big portions), the service was super friendly, and the atmosphere on the patio was perfect for a date night! We will be back!
