    We had a wonderful anniversary dinner! Our server, Jen was so friendly and kind. Immediately gave us complimentary Prosecco to celebrate. She reviewed the menu with us and advised us based on preferences. We had the mozzarella bi bufala, the orecchiette, raviolo, Caesar salad, and the braised beef cheek special. Everything was so delicious! Cannot wait to go back!

    the dishes were quite inventive and not the sort of things we encounter in san diego restaurants. the squab pasta was amazingly tasty, the branzino perfectly prepared and delicious and the broccoli with olive oil, garlic and lemon couldn't have been better. the honeycomb ice cream and cannoli were just the right ending to our wonderful meal. the wine list was also inventive and the bottle of sicilian grillo blend paired perfectly with our dishes.

    This is our favorite location by far. We come here at least once a month and more recently started coming pretty frequently for brunch. We have other locations that are much closer to us but the food and service at the Silverlake location is unmatched so we happily make the extra drive. No matter how big or small our party is they have been more than accommodating to our needs. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, hallmark holidays and even had our club gatherings here. Any time we have friends visiting from out of state or country we bring them here too. The food is always exceptional & affordable by LA standards. You will definitely get the most bang for your buck here and the best part is not only will you have full from the amazing food but your friends will be impressed and it sets the bar high! Highly recommend the bottomless drinks for both brunch and dinner.
