During my visit, I indulged in their delectable Sautéed Spinach (priced at $11.95) and the heavenly Fettuccine alla Romana. The spinach was sautéed to perfection, retaining its vibrant green color and natural flavors. The fettuccine, coated in a luscious sauce, showcased the comforting essence of homemade pasta that only a dedicated Italian kitchen can provide.

The Insalata di Rucola e Parmigiano (at $11.50) was another highlight, bursting with freshness and complemented by the rich, nutty cheese.

This time I went at lunchtime, and I was blessed that I had the privacy, the calm, the waiter Luis as always impeccable in the way he serves, the 6star food, delicious. For me, this is one of the best in Los Angeles for Italian food. For those who like Lava Cake, I think the video should show how delicious it is. Excellent!
