EaterJanuary 3, 2014This NY transplant serves well executed Italian-Amnerican classics in a charming, perfectly sized dining room in a part of Hollywood that might best be described as "the middle of nowhere."

Natalie BubaloSeptember 20, 2013The most friendly, welcoming staff of all time. The meatballs were light and amazing, and the ravioli with pear was unlike anything I've ever had.
Nancy StroudJuly 17, 2016Everything we had was delicious. The short ribs and cheesecake were my favorite
Alvarez LlopisOctober 21, 2022The duck was to die for. Shrimp scampi was light and full of flavor. Highly recommended for a couple from Fort Worth, Texas.
Sunday - Gravy night! Meatballs, Sausage, Braciole, rigatoni... Literally just like mom used to make.
RandyJanuary 24, 2016Always gr8 but something was a little off with the sauce and it is not the same when Johnny Roast Beef is not there...

"Absolutely loved the vibe, the cozy atmosphere, the hospitality and the food! Generous portions, fresh and delicious grill salmon. The seafood pasta was flavourful and filling but the calamari is bad"
Zara Khan - 9.1
"The gluten-free pasta comes in one variety: a handmade penne. It works well with the carbonara, bolognese and lamb rigatoni. If you can handle gluten, get the legendary tiramisu for dessert."
Crystal Rose - 9.0
"Order the pizza. The crust is amazing. It's light and crunchy. I really enjoyed the potato and spicy sausage pizza as well as their roasted beet salad."
