They Are Still The Best Pizza

by rose f.

We love this place and think the food and service is just great!
We love the garlic rolls, the pizza and pasta. Its the kind of place we return to often. The owner is usually on site and keeps everything in great shape.

Lots of garlic but good

by Mandi B. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 285

This place is very small but has good food. There were only two waiters and it was pretty busy so it took a while to get everything. They have good garlic knots that most people order. They have gourmet pizzas that are different and really good. Like I said it is small so it was a little stuffy and you kinda felt like you were eating on top of the person sitting next to you. Good food and not too expensive.

Good food, Bad Service

by Tony N. | insider Insider | Rank: 31,255

The last three times I have gone there the service was really bad. The waiters don't seem to check up on you after you have been seated. One time I waited 30 minutes and after a difficult time trying to flag down a waiter/server I left. It's really too bad because the food is good.

PROS: Good Food
CONS: Really bad service and parking.

Probably as close as one will get to authentic Italian pizza in LA. The food is good, and the chefs have some great pasta specials. The cappucinos are bellissimo! The only problem is the service. For some reason, the wait staff is incredibly slow, and not particularly attentive. Go if you're not in a hurry. Otherwise, just order take out.
