Sandro Meyer: Lobster Ravioli, Mushroom Felet, Quail Parpadelle and ZD Pino Noir and you are good to go.
Jamie F: Beyond amazing and what a beautiful adorably venue. Order the ravioli tasting app. Pumpkin one is ah-am-zing
Paul Brazier: The best 'melt in the mouth' Ravioli I've ever had. Get a selection for starters.

Nathan Oventhal: The happy hour menu rocks. Try the ahi tuna tacos and the Japanese eggplant. Chef Yoshiara is the best.
T Man: Fiji Cannelloni, Alaskan Cod, Flank Steak, not in order. Service efficient.
Natalie K: The Apple cannelloni dessert is hands down the best dessert I've ever had. Lobster fettuccini was also really good, but very creamy.
Michael Armijo: I love to begin with the homemade Tagliatelle Bolognese (sometimes I share) & then the Vitello (Veal) Parmesan is delicious. I bring a bottle of wine ($35 corkage) bc my wine cellar has yummy stuff.
ivy♥: What a decent place! Everything is oh so delish! The steamed clams and mussels are so great. Very juicy! Get it :) And oh, folks who work here are/speak Italian so this place is legit!
Gene Dexter: What a wonderful place. The patio is my new favorite area to sit and eat this wonderful food. The specials are a good bet.

Bullfrog & Baum: Featuring 12-13-inch artisan style pizzas highlighting a range of sustainable, locally-grown ingredients found at the Santa Monica farmer's market. The menu changes seasonally, too.
DailyCandy: The bustling, sceney atmosphere has small but mighty wine list, and best spinach and kale salad west of the Mississippi.
Danielle Stolz: The spinach and crispy purple kale salad is not only healthy, but also delicious. The same goes for the oven roasted tomato pizza. Highly recommend both if you ever stop by!
