The food was fantastic! I got the Chicken Cilantro Rissoto and I absolutely loved it! Not only that, our server was great! Very helpful, very friendly. He recommended the dish and he sounded like he REALLY knew what he was talking about! I'm glad I went with his suggestion. I definitely plan on going back there again!

Absolutely, without a doubt, the BEST Italian food in Manhattan Beach. Simple, made from scratch stuff that's good for the soul. Service is amazing and it's in a great spot.

All the food was amazing. They do steamed vegetables instead of pasta as an option which is great for gluten free option or lower carb option. Service was great.

Giant sized portions at very reasonable prices. We had chicken Parmesan and vegetarian lasagna which were both very good. I was honestly shocked how reasonable it was, and the portion size. We got there just in time as there was a line getting a seat.

Food and service was amazing! It was not busy because we were in between lunch and dinner crowds, so we were a little hesitant because we were the only ones when we first walked in, but so glad we decided to eat here! We loved that we got bread with garlic, oil, and balsamic before even ordering! The noodles were homemade and delicious. The fried pillows were great. All of the food tasted very fresh. Service was excellent! She was so kind and friendly and we got to share some stories, we can't wait to come back next year!

If you're a fan of Italian dishes this is the place. Chicken Atomic pasta is a must try full of flavor loaded with seasoned chicken, sauces and some veggies(bell peppers). Good size portions and delicious chocolate cake dessert nice n warm, it just melts in your mouth.
