First, i want to say that the restaurant is located in a beautiful area. Walking around the…read moreneighborhood was incredibly enjoyable and made the whole experience even better. when it comes to the restaurant itself, i honestly don't have enough words to describe how amazing it was i found out that the pasta is handmade rather than premade, and it's brought fresh from Italy every evening. That surprised me and made dining there even more special. The pasta i ordered was prepared with white wine. The portion looked a bit small at first, but it was very filling and absolutely delicious. I would also like to give special recognition to the manager. she was incredibly kind, welcoming, energetic, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. We were treated to a delicious pasta that wasn't yet on the menu, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will definitely come back just for that pasta! Everything was excellent - the atmosphere, the people, the food, and the service. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. I would love to see more seafood pasta dishes added to the menu, and I can't wait to visit again.

All right - let's start by saying I love UOVO in general. Been to the location in Pasadena and in…read moreMarina del Rey multiple times and was never disappointed. Service is great, food is fabulous in general consider the price and I love the interior and ambience. Couple of things disappointed me this time... 1. We sat at the bar and we felt a bit rushed, the server literally asked to take away one of the plates before we even started! The restaurant was not super busy at the time so not sure why they were "rushing us". 2. The tiramisu... again this is not my first time at Uovo although it is the first time I visited the Studio City spot; there was something off with the Tiramisu to the point that my friend and I did not even finish the dessert. There was a chocolate fudge thing on top as you can see in the picture that was way too much and way too overwhelming. Could not taste the coffee at all. The cream was very heavy... Other than that the pasta is always top notch, so I will definitely give them another try sometime soon!

We enjoyed the ambiance and especially how nice the waiter was to us. Also the food was very good.read more

We came to IL Nido to celebrate some birthdays over a nice meal. IL Nido did not disappoint! Our…read morereservation was super easy to make through Google, and we were seated immediately at a pre-set table. The ambiance is absolutely wonderful -- perfect vibe for a date or small, intimate gathering. Dark-ish lighting, but lit enough to see everything without trouble (for my not-so-great eyes, at least). Our server was super attentive and considerate of our conversations while making sure that we were served promptly. A really great experience from start to finish! The menu was great. All pasta besides the penne is made in house, and it's absolutely DELICIOUS. We shared the burrata caprese, which was great, but a slightly small portion. I ordered the rigatoni with vodka sauce, and it was absolutely fantastic. Perfect portion size, amazing texture for the sauce and noodles, and I was blown away by the sauce. My spouse ordered the cacio e pepe, and it was excellent--I must admit that I stole a few of her noodles and dipped them in the little puddles of vodka I still had left on my plate after I devoured my pasta. For dessert, we shared a tiramisu, and it was stellar. Perfect balance, textures, and flavors. This was my favorite Italian restaurant experience I've had in LA so far. I cannot wait to return!

This restaurant was highly recommended by my friend who orders here regularly. On my birthday my…read moreson said that he'll treat me for dinner so we went here last Friday night. We found parking in the back area and as soon as we entered we were greeted by the staff. My son ordered Pollo Siciliana and I got the farfalle al Salmon. I also got a glass of Pinot Grigio which is actually good. They give you a complimentary bread and an olive dip. I love the warm bread and the olive dip that comes with it is a welcome change from the ordinary. I enjoyed my pasta and the sauce is really rich and creamy. My son's pasta is good if you like tomato-based and not cream based sauce. My favorite is when they give you a complimentary tiramisu dessert. We were even given extra slices to take home. That's a nice touch that will certainly make us go back for more. They have a few tables and I would say it's a good place for a casual meet up or for families.

My son and I have been talking about trying this place for about 2 weeks now and we finally came in…read morefor dinner tonight. We parked in one of their 3 parking spots in the back and entered through the rear entrance. We were greeted by Aya who mentioned they were having some plumbing problems so we needed to sit in the front section of the restaurant. The place is pretty small and compact, with about 10 tables. It's family owned and been around for 25 years. The prices are pretty affordable for the portion sizes. Not much ambiance or decorations, but there was some nice Italian music playing overhead and some Christmas decorations that are apparently hung up year-round. Both Thomas and Aya waited on us and they were both pleasant and kind with nice smiles. Thomas quickly brought out some waters along with their complimentary focaccia that came with olive tapenade. The bread tasted old and stale and wasn't warm, but I liked the tapenade. Surprisingly, we were never asked if we wanted anything else to drink and also never got refills on our waters until I had to ask for one. I ordered the Italian salad with dressing on the side and I asked if the carrots that came in the salad were cooked or raw, since I don't like raw carrots. Aya happily suggested that they can cook me some carrots separately and bring them on the side, which is what they did. Even though the carrots were not really cooked that well, the gesture was still greatly appreciated. Other than that, all the ingredients were very fresh and the dressing was LIGHT, just how I like it. For our entrèes, I got the Pollo Della Cassa which came with chicken breast and mushrooms baked with mozzarella cheese, served on pasta with Alfredo sauce. ($24.95), with an add-on of shrimp (+$3.00 for 3 shrimps). I also asked for light sauce, not too soupy, and that's exactly how it was prepared. The food was piping hot, very fresh, and delicious. My son ordered the Pollo Limone ($24.95) that came with grilled chicken breast with lemon sauce on mushroom risotto. He was not the biggest fan of his food but still ate all of it. He also asked if he could get a side of veggies and they gladly brought out a medley of sautéed broccoli, zucchini, and carrots. We were not charged for the side of veggies and also the salad, which was very generous of them. To end the meal, you get a small complimentary square of Tiramisu which is a nice little treat. The customer service is truly the best part of this restaurant and you can tell that there is a lot of love involved here. They really care about their guests and want you to feel happy and satisfied. Due to some minor ticks here and there, I think I am going to stick with 4 stars overall. The restaurant was clean but just kind of unpleasant. You could also smell the bleach right when you walk in and sometimes the smell would waft through the air. It was also really hot in the restaurant and I don't think the A/C was working. They have one bathroom for each gender and they were very clean. I also asked for some change to leave cash for the tip, but Thomas told me they didn't have any cash in the restaurant. How can that be? Thank you Spumoni, Aya, Thomas, and the chefs. Will I return? Maybe, maybe not.

Must try the pizzas, especially the one with hot honey. Good for sharing. The octopus was delicious, cooked so well it was tender and flavorful over a bed of forbidden rice. My main course was the short rib ravioli with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and it was really good and very feeling. overall enjoyed my meal, but I will say that there was six of us and the table was a bit snug as they placed us in a half rounded table and added two seats. Love the vibe of the restaurant very clean aesthetic. If you're concerned about parking, it is Ventura Boulevard so either grab street parking if you're lucky or save yourself the headache and go straight from valet. I would definitely come here again.

Beatriz, Tammy and John make each visit memorable because they are so warm and welcoming to us and our little puppy. Yes, we sit outdoors on their lovely patio and they frequently come over to make sure we have everything we need. I love their Caesar salad (the dressing is perfect) and I usually pair it with the Chicken Piccata which comes with a creamy Alfredo sauce and topped with capers. You can substitute any pasta you wish. My wife has a gluten allergy but that only makes our visits more special because they serve fusilli which is a gluten free pasta. We can't get over how wonderful this staff is. They seem to enjoy their jobs and it certainly shows. We love the atmosphere and enjoy the nostalgic music featuring Dean, Ella, Darin, Sinatra and others of that special era. It really sets the mood to enjoy an Al Fresco meal. Thank you Beatriz, Tammy and John for making the start of our weekends so pleasant.
