Best Italian food in LA. I stumbled upon this location one evening after spending the day at Griffith Observatory. I fell in love and have since made trips to LA just to dine here. The location is eh but as soon as you enter, the food will take you to Italy. No joke, it reminded me of my trip to Italy last summer it was so good. They offer fresh bread and olive oil-the ciabatta is my favorite but the baguette is good too. I ALWAYS opt for the spaghetti and pesto genovese. I usually like meat with my entrees but not here. All I want to taste is the thick spaghetti and the freshly made pesto sauce. My husband opted for another pasta shape and quickly regretted it when he tried mine. Lastly, I always start with the classic bruschetta. Even though there is bread at the table, the bruschetta is just perfect, so I always go hungry bc it's a lot of bread!!
