    From our experience there, I have a couple of key notes - Our server Michael with the mustache was absolutely fantastic and had the table shaking with excitement every time he visited - the orecchiette tasted like the corner of an extra most bestest pizza - the gnocchi is rather bouncy and maleable - the burrata with rosemary and walnuts is not the best dish for individuals with an aversion to rosemary - the table was wobbling like the wedding song from the 2000’s - gelato tasted of creamy burnt sugar and missed out on dreams of caramel - the torta della nonna was akin to the inside of a cheese danish - our second waiter must’ve been having an identity crisis as he brought us water everytime we asked for more wine Overall pleasant experience, will be back again!

    Our favorite neighborhood spot. The food is always extraordinary. We had couple of less than stellar experiences out of many the were, in fact, stellar. Lately and especially yesterday, the experience was fantastic. Everyone was friendly. The service was paced perfectly. We took friends from out of town to experience Saffy’s and they could not stop raving about every dish. We all had a hard time picking the best of the night. Great spot. Highly recommended. RG.

    Without doubt, one of LA’s, if not California’s best places to dine. The menu is consistently inventive and delicious, and the staff always makes you feel like you are “coming home,”. Brunch was so marvelous yesterday that we are going back for an encore today!
