For generations our families have celebrated the tastes of life around a dinner table, enjoying our tradition of homemade pastas, sauces, vino, e dolci -- and we want to invite you to participate in that culinary heritage. Italian tradition is relived as we reminisce about the past and create new memories, and every meal brings family and friends closer together with lively conversation and laughs. Chef Santi and our team are passionate about Italian cooking and its deep history. He has created a rich, abundant menu using local purveyors and fine ingredients in making homemade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and Mediterranean fish dishes. From the region of Campania, home of the Amalfi Coast and Naples, to the island of Sicily, we bring you the heart and soul of our roots, tradition and cuisine. From the moment you walk in, we invite you to be transported -- as our family photos illustrate our colorful past, and our menu expresses our living cuisine. IN BOCCA AL LUPO.

Romantic ambience, Good Italian dinner in town, staff are very attentive. Parking along the road side.

We have always been treated more like family than customers. Service and food has always been great.

Their food is really good here. The truffle pizza is my favorite so far. Come on Mondays when Jacob is working the bar, he's the best.

Food is excellent! Great menu selection, perfectly prepared food, and excellent service. Overall ambience is probably the best you can find in the Southbay regardless of cuisine. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a mix of central and northern Italian food (which is what you should be enjoying...), this is by far the best place you're going to find this half of LA.

Great and actually authentic Italian food, excellent service, good wine selection, nice atmosphere. Personally, I prefer a restaurant with lots of quiet space, but that's so rare these days -- the noise level isn't too bad, comparatively speaking.

A wonderful local Italian eatery. Fine dining with fairly decent prices, great service, great food and great wine. You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner celebrating our wedding anniversary. The food and the wine selection was great, the service was excellent.

Yes. Go there. Great service. Very much enjoyed the food. They had one of my favorites on the wine list. I wanted to just set up a cot and burp myself to sleep.

I absolutely LOVED this place. The owners are so involved in their business and the love that they have put into the place is really obvious. The owner sings Frank Sanatra, etc on Friday and Saturday nights to a talented pianist. Between songs you could see him walking to tables and engaging his guests in pleasant conversation. The food was so good (the black truffle pasta was probably the best dish I've ever tasted) that we asked the waitress to give the chef our compliments. A little bit later, the head chef came out and thanked us all personally for coming. When we spoke to the owner, he told us about the family heirlooms and pictures that adorned the walls. I was told that the owner's wife sourced the wines personally, and we enjoyed a dry red wine with our meal. I plan on coming back here on special occasions. Blown away.

Delicious Italian food in a nice location and very good value. Make sure to book ahead.

Took my daughter on a dinner date and decided to try something new. The decor was nice and live piano music/singing was lovely. Fresh table bread was great! The lasagna was great and the service was great... don’t have any complaints... I’m going back with my husband next week.
Brett Peterson
Really good food and really nice ambience. Service was pretty good, although some room for improvement. I would go back for sure

One of the best authentic Italian dinners I've had this side of the pond! The world class wine selection, fresh Italian pastas, salads, pizza, appetizers and entrees are amazing! We had the black Kale Salad, octopus appetizer, Pizza arabiata, linguini and clams and Ossobuco. Yes we had leftovers only because we could barely move after feasting!
Bryce Schaefer
The food and drinks were great! The waiter was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to our questions about the menu choices. We had the Picci Toscani with shaved black truffles, and it was delicious - would highly recommend.

I had lunch again yesterday. I loved the google check in spiff of a glass of wine. They honored it but never were aware of it. I got a Chardonnay for $18 value. I'll be back just for that alone. The pizza was fabulous.

My favorite Italian restaurant period.The menu is short but sufficient for any occasion- everything is prepared and presented with subtle style to the accompaniment of live piano and owner Lou’s Sinatra ballads.If you don’t have an appetite or the time for dinner the bar service and cocktails are worth dropping in for.
