    We’ve been there ( Il Nido ) several times now & the place keeps growing on me. Last week I super enjoyed the chicken picatta with zucchini & roasted potatoes. Tender, not dry, like so many other restaurants who tend to overcook chicken. This was just right. I probably should give it 5 stars but I’ll make that decision, or not, next week.

    We’ve lived in Encino for 40 years and this was our first visit to this “neighborhood gem”. We had high hopes as we loved the ambience and closeness of this place to our home. However, as Encino always seems to always disappoint us (foodies) - it did so again. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. But everything, from the focaccia served almost immediately after we sat down, to the Caesar, linguini Bolognese, and sea-bass that we shared, was really just mediocre at best. Unfortunately, we will never venture back……
