Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, great wine. In fact everything really excellent 5* except for how far up their own behind they are. Their way or the highway. No changes whatsoever (tough with kids / a coeliac kid), mandatory 20% service (we tip that anyway) etc

Overrated.

Overrated.
Guanciale pizza had little and not tasteful guanciale in it, anchovies and parmesan salad was very below the par, and the pistachio tart tasted like a brownie.
I won't go again

All the food was amazing but the service was not good. We were running late so we called and the hostess said she would give our table away in ten mins. We ran there then waited 15 to be sat.. Server wasn t attentive or knowledgeable.

4.6 rating. Additional pictures/video and commentary captured on our food blog on Instagram @FoodVibesNYC.

Stop here every visit to LA. Great common tables for walk ins. Farm to table like menu. Always get the kale salad (now only available for take out sadly! Or the spinach salad)

This place has a fantastic menu of Italian-inspired small plates and pizzas. Highly recommend the burrata and carrot dish. We also loved that they had an expansive, unique wine menu. The food, drinks and ambiance made for a nice way to spend a few hours on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Food was great and fresh. The staff was very friendly and gave great suggestions. The only pity is that it can be quite tricky for people with food intolerances/ limitations since the chef doesn't accept any changes in the dishes.

Amazing restaurant on Abbott Kinney. I made a reservation with 5 friends and we were sat at a very cozy table in the back patio area. The ambiance was great and the food was delicious. We tried the pomodoro pizza (add burrata to make it even better), butternut squah agnolotti, nettle-spaghetti cacio...

Very nice place in Venice. We came for lunch, it was crowdy so we waited for 20-30 minutes. The food was really tasty, but it was pretty noisy!
We shared:
- from the vegetable side: purple queen beans, fresno, cherry tomato & Dukkah.
- Plates: braised pork meatballs, AMAZING.
- Pizza: gruyere, c...

The food was okay but customer service was awful. We had a 1:30pm reservation and we got seated at 2:20pm. What? They weren t accommodating to my brother who has severe gastro issues and they couldn t even offer to take cheese off a burger or take chili flakes off the cauliflower. Also the burger wa...

The food is a 10/10 but the staff was shockingly terrible. They told us they needed the table back in an hour because of a reservation which is fine but then they took forever to serve us. My mom got here food 10 minutes before we had to leave. They were also generally very rude

This place is great! I had pancakes with fruit and a hot chocolate and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. The service was a little bit slow but that's to be expected with how many people they have in there. As an extra bonus they had zero problems with m...

Really overrated, food was not tasty at all, in fact the meatballs tasted off and the pizza was one of the worst i've ever tasted, how can pizza go wrong? Poor service too and they left the door open on a cold day with a/c on, had to sit there with a coat on. Wanted to try this place for so long, so...

The reviews are real people!!!! This is the best Mexican food I've ever had.
I've already been here 3 times in the past week . I've had the breakfast quesadillas without the potato's, the fish taco (fried) to die for and the chicken soup better than grandmas (sorry granny).
About to have the Calif...

It never fails, always delicious. I recommend the guanciale pizza (simply delicious).

You have to book well in advance; the atmosphere is very nice, the music, the customers, the waiters.

They automatically charge 20% tip so don't rush if you're okay with that amount, no option.

Amazing pizza, terrible wine. The wine (Irene Badala Nerello Mascalese) was watery, insipid and tasted like vinegar diluted with tap water. Fortunately the pizza was fantastic - crispy thin base, handmade chorizo, fresh cheese and tomato.

The food and drink was fabulous and could not be faulted and the service was very good indeed. My only criticism would be the compulsory 20% service charge. I'm firmly of the belief that all employers regardless of country should pay their employees a living wage and that tips, gratuities etc shoul...

The employee made a mistake. With the help of the manager, we were able to get out of the crisis. But the staff and guests at the restaurant behaved rudely towards us. The employee who made the mistake didn't apologize to us. She didn't even provide any more services. (We paid a 20% tip.) I think sh...

The food is good, nothing special and the plates are too small for the price. They let the back door (full wall) open and it was freezing inside. People were wearing their jackets and beanies inside the restaurant, stupid. Also I didn't like the fact that they put 20% tips without asking (even if 20...

If possible a table in the back is best: less noise and hustle.
The service is quick and impeccable and more importantly the food is great. A very modern American choice with big flavors of the spices and the veggies complemented by great pizza and amazing plates.
Cool wine list. only the desserts...

I hear it is very hard to get into this restaurant, however we got lucky and walked right in.
This place has a great atmosphere. Some might say it is too dim but I think it sets the mood well. We had the chorizo pizza and spaghetti. The pizza was amazing! Down to the crust that we dipped in out co...

Great food, great atmosphere. I ve been coming here for years for the quality pizza, vegetable dishes and our favorite - butterscotch pot de creme. Lately the service has taken a turn for the worse. Guess they don t need to care about giving quality service when they automatically receive 20% from u...

The quintessential restaurant that put Venice on the foodie map. This is a go to place for breakfast to sit out in the patio and bask under the LA sun. Whether it's the seasonal soft scramble with zucchini flower or the sweet potato hash, it's pretty damn impossible to go wrong with the menu. For di...

Stumbled in this place last weekend, no sign outside so we just walked in. Got lucky and was seated right away. Make sure to get there early as by 10:30 there was a line outside and everyone had reservations! Food was absolutely amazing, we will definitely go back.
