Love and Salt is a story that begins with Cafe Pierre, a restaurant birthed by Guy Gabriele in 1977 to bring a taste of France to Los Angeles’ South Bay. While Cafe Pierre was a beloved part of the community for nearly 37 years, in 2014, Guy and his daughter Sylvie Gabriele, now the owner of Love and Salt, closed the restaurant to bring new life to the iconic space.Love and Salt is a philosophy: that food needs only two ingredients to be great. It’s a sensibility that informs the feeling in the restaurant and the dishes on the menu — Italian-inspired with Southern California soul. An approachable wine list and classic cocktail program similarly reflect the vibrant SoCal setting of the restaurant, located just steps from the Manhattan Beach pier.

Food delivery staff brought wrong meal, and waited over ten minutes for table waitress to come back by our table to mention error. Explained my meal was probably delivered to wrong table but could submit another order to chef. I elected to try to eat what was delivered, and the waitress comped the order. Regardless, I left a big tip for my appreciation of the effort.

The food was very good, especially the salads. The wait staff was very attentive and service was prompt. The noise level was higher than we like, but we could hear each other without shouting.
