Homey is the only right word for the food offered here. I came here one day before finals began, and sat outside and ordered pasta. Normally I'm not a huge pasta person, but this place had one of the best pastas I've ever had (and I've been to Italy). Highly recommended, and would return here to just to eat it again (now if I could only remember the name of the dish....)
The ambiance is gorgeous as well. Outdoor seating, a koi pond/fountain in the middle, and outdoor heaters for those 'cold' los angeles nights. Slighty pricey for the kind of food, but hey, ambiance adds to that price tag.
