LAist: The fall squash puree pizza looks like a flatbread, and features fall stunners like caramelized onions, spicy toasted pumpkin seeds, almond ricotta, crispy brussels sprout leaves, and mustard greens. Read more.
Philip C: The romanesco is out of this world! Cannot believe it wasn’t cheese. Pictured is the meatball pizza and the roasted ricotta, also two amazing dishes
Keegan Sims: Might be the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Los Angeles. Crab cakes, oysters and milanese are excellent. So is the service.

L. Q.: Great homemade sauces and grandma style pasta ❤️. The ricotta ravioli with sage was super delicate and tasty. The wine list is full of natural wines (on the expensive side, though).
Yousef Alsaif: The BEST. My favorite dishes: Gem Lettuce, Eggplant Parmesan, La Women Pizza, Ricotta Ravioli, Spicy Fusilli.
Fred Wilson: Get the spicy fusilli. Then do it again next week and every week thereafter

Shannon: Great service and beautiful ambiance. Loved the ricotta gnudi, pasta al pomodoro, and (off menu special) pork fusilli.
Danny Nathan: The first 2 courses (grilled octopus, ricotta gnudi) were EXCELLENT, as was the service from the somm. After those two dishes though, it took 45+ mins for our next 2 to arrive. They were solidly meh.
patty b: Braised Duck Agnolotti was excellent. Fabulous Italian wine list.

Lina A.: go fro cheese plate with wine pairing, also the ricotta focaccia and brioche with prosciutto.
Natalie K: Really cute restaurant. Great for dates or business dinners. Lobster pappardelle was awesome'!
Eater: With a new full bar and revamped California-style menu, the tastefully designed eatery is perfectly poised for drinks with friends at the bar up front or a quiet date in one of the back booths.

Jennifer G: Heirloom tomatoes, watermelon, cucumber, ricotta ... oh yeah. The panzanella is to die for.
Charles T Sebesta: THIS IS AN AWESOME PLACE. FOOD IS EXCELLENT, STAFF IS HELPFUL & FRIENDLY. A REALLY NICE OUT OF THE WAY PLACE IN A VERY BUSY PART OF LOS ANGELES/BEVERLY HILLS. GREAT PLACE FOR AN INTIMATE LUNCH.
Kirsten Alana: If the 'Blueberry Limonata' is on the menu, order it. Great, refreshing cocktail that perfectly showcases its namesake flavors.

Bayan Bamukhayyar: Wonderful morning vibes, amazing lobster pasta and coffee, and excellent service from Ruben - he did an outstanding job at making us feel welcome and cheerful during our brunch.
Eyal Gutentag: The Henry is an absolutely beautifully architected space with everything from soft seating, loud tables in back near the kitchen you can peek into, quiet outdoor patio areas and a lively bar area.
N A: Corn pasta, truffle fries
987LA: Must-do's: grab some ricotta salata from Monsieur Marcel, warm apple fritter at Bob's Donuts, hot sauce from Light My Fire, and old-fashioned candy from the farm stands. Read more.
Noel Clarke: I come here a lot. Really nice farmers market. Food, trinkets and almost everything else. Right next to The Grove so you could spend a whole day. Well worth the visit.
The Most Interesting Man in the World: I prefer picking an exotic piece of fruit myself, however dangerous the circumstances, but the quality and selection of tastes here might be worth risking your life for as well, should it be crowded.
