Adrian Phillips: Old school Italian restaurant with all the staples. The veal parmigiana was smothered in delicious tomato sauce and mozzarella. Be sure to get the Caesar to start, it's a really tasty one.
Vicky Aguilera💋: The cook deserves a gol medal, the ribs were so tender and delish and the seafood pasta was amazing. Definitely one if my favorite places in LA
Luzma Plaza: Order the Cesar Salad - one of the best (if not the best) in town.

The Feast: Best for prime cuts of steak, pizza from a woodburning oven and lobster risotto. They also house one of the most impressive new world wine lists in town.
Brittany Letto: Highly recommend Veal Scallopini (served original way), the Branzino was so amazing & flaky/crispy, the White corn ravioli w/ black truffles was so rich & delicious! Choc soufflé & volcano for dessert
Doug McCracken: Sweet corn ravioli is delicious

jennifer han: i love the kauaiian, their take on a bbq bacon burger but i always swap in cheddar instead of the recommended swiss. great fries and onion rings too.
Joseph C: Another Great Find! Must try their Kobe Burger 🍔 with Sea Salt Fries🍟! FTW 🌎! Insanely Good Eats🍴! Not too busy 😁, Great Chef🎸, Awesome Owner & Family👪, Cool Hawaiian decor🏄💙👍
Amy Salko Robertson: Never brought a guest who left disappointed. Amazing burgers. One of a kind.
Shane Plossu: Go for the chicken meatballs each and every time - we always do. Great flavor, especially when the remaining sauce is scooped up with the house bread.
Eater: A tiny, always packed bakery and cafe from the Rustic Canyon team. Expect seasonal small plates, impeccable baked goods, and some of the best pizza pies in the city. [Eater 38 Member]
Kelly Bone: The garlic knot is whole roasted cloves bundled in a purse of crisp dough. It's the greatest garlic knot I've ever eaten!
