  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
The LA CAVA concept is based on Armando's roots. Born and raised in Florence, he grew up learning that as a local, one would go dining in the little Osterias where everything was made fresh daily, prepared with basic ingredients, simple recipes, delightful flavors and lots of love, for a fantastic experience that was also "gentle" on your wallet.

No Out-Door dining. STAY SAFE!

    I had a very bad and embarrassing experience due to the action of the waiter. Will not go there again.

    The host was a jerk and every course was rushed . I got the fish and I only had one bite. It was a fixed menu so I had to pay for the meal.

    Pleasantly surprised a Ventura Blvd Italian staple could be so solid. Everything felt homemade in the best sense of the word. Uncomplicated, well-prepared and tasty. Great service. Cozy room. Will definitely be back.
