Chowder in the bread bowl is very good.
Food is quite good here; much improved over past. Several standouts include: Calamari appetizer, seafood risotto, key lime pie, and don't forget to ask for the free sourdough! Kids menu is good too.
Don't order the crab roll. It's canned, and super salty. Stick with a bowl of soup, some bread and a beer and you won't leave furious.
Italian grinder on ciabatta is amazing!
Ask for Leigh! And if she's serving you, ask about the girls with the stuffed chicken and you will get a free cupcake.
Ask for Leigh. Beware unruly children whose parents let them run amok.
Try the Peasant Bread with a glass of Sparkling Wine.
Delicious Mediterranean platter, peasant bread and chianti wine. Everyday should be like this one.
The Villa Burger os just amazing with the Brie cheese and the candied bacon!!! And reasonably priced!
The best place to dress as bread & run down the beach
Great spot to watch the sunset. Not too busy due to $11 parking fee.
Surf spot but not today...
A nice place, situated on the best part of Santa Monica Beach.
Come for a wedding.
If you ever get a chance to go there to the Bay Club go you'll have fun and eat well, oh yeah and they have drinks too.
At the cafe, try the grilled flatbread with burrata and stone fruit. I'm not sure if it's seasonal, but it really hit the spot.
Beautiful architecture (but not a fan of antiquity art except the pornographic scenes in red ink vases). Almost worth the visit except for that damn $15 parking.
Check out the gift shop!
Coconut Boba double cheese burger, egg with seasoned fries is a Friday must!! Great place to catch up with friends in the community.
Mediterranean sandwich and a taro frozen drink, or a chai frozen drink. So refreshing!
Turkey pesto wrap = amazing
Get the squash blossoms and anything with truffles!!! Amazing cheesecake. Molto buono!
Hands down the best food in the Palisades. And one of the best italian restaurants in LA.
Pappardelle d'anatra is amazing.
Super-friendly and efficient service. The steak burrito was pretty delicious. Great spot for meal after a long hike at Temescal Canyon.
The Morning Wrap is wonderful
Try the vegan date shake. Thick, healthy, and scrumptious.
Romantic restaurant that's cozy and has delicious, simple Italian food. Love the artichoke salad and rigatoni amatriciana!
The veal scallopini & bolognese were delish!
Zagat: 25 “quaint Italian hideaway” “right near the beach” in SM served in a “romantic” candlelit room “seating can be a tight squeeze”, “not too expensive” either.
The agnolotti and pumpkin ravioli are to die for! Cramped but cozy. Highly recommended
Must try the sweet corn agnolotti. The Dover Sole is so fresh and light. The lobster is probably the I've ever had. Huge portion!
Gourmet & good like all the italians restaurants. Not amazing. Bad & expeditious service. Restroom weren't clean. Tip must be earned Giorgio.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
