    Tartagielle alla bolognese

    I first tried Gravina about 7~8 years ago with my mother as we were spending the day in Malibu. It was delicious and we had a wonderful time! I later moved to the Camarillo area and I often passed through on the 1 and saw Gravina and I'd always tell my husband we would have to go back, remembering back to the great experience with my mom. Well we finally were able to go back recently and it was just as good as I remembered! The staff are incredibly the friendly, the restaurant was so clean and quiet and they even let us have our small dog on the patio. The food was exquisite! Truly delicious Italian food. I recommend Gravina to anyone who wants a delicious meal with incredible service was a staff that makes you feel like family.

    Love this place! From the warm greeting when you walk in, the ambiance, and the delicious food! Best ravioli I've ever had. Pesto is yummy too. Service is also amazing! Our new favorite Italian restaurant!

    Love the ambience it's a great place for date night, because very low-key and quiet so that you can carry on conversations without struggling to listen to the other person. We usually go there on a Friday night and the parking lot in the front of the restaurant always has a parking spot which is what we like about this place.. Service is great. The owner comes out and greet you and have conversations with you. The ambience Intimate and warm. The food is great. We come here for the octopus. The eggplant Parmesan is interestingly prepared. The eggplant is sliced, very thinly and is absent of gooey mozzarella not your traditional eggplant Parmesan.

    Great service and ambiance! We were seated in the covered patio area and it was perfect! We got to see the lights outside, and we stayed warm inside the restaurant! The service was great overall, and the food was delicious! Everything came out in a timely manner, and everyone got their food around the same time so no one was waiting around! One of our friends started feeling sick after we finished dinner, and the restaurant was very respectful and attentive to our needs and did not try to rush us at all! I will definitely be back here, and all my guests loved the food as well! There is extra parking in the back if you can't find any in front of the restaurant!

    Amazing service, ambience, and food was 10/10! Get the berry tart, I'm dreaming about it until I come back.

Let's start with their FRITTO MISTO, a mouthwatering combination of fried calamari and shrimp. The addictive sauce that accompanies it is a must-order, and we often find ourselves ordering extra! For a hearty side, try their grandmother Nonna's meatballs, POLPETTE DELLA NONNA. They're incredibly tasty and a great way to start your meal. If you're a fan of zucchini blossoms, you'll absolutely love their FIORI DI ZUCCA RIPIENI. It's a delightful dish that's sure to impress. One of my favorite salads is their INSALATA DELLA CASA, which is a refreshing and healthy option. Adding grilled shrimp takes it to the next level. Now, let's talk about their main courses. Their seafood and pasta dishes are all mouthwatering, but here are our favorites: 1) CACIO E PEPE: This dish is incredibly delicious and goes to another level when you add their grilled shrimp and truffle. 2) BRANZINO: Their seafood is cooked perfectly every time, and they often have HALIBUT as a special dish, which we love as a great alternative. 3) BOLOGNESE: Our son absolutely devours this dish, and it's a great option for kids. 4) STROZZAPRETI: This pasta dish is another great choice, filled with a lot of flavor. 5) LASAGNA: It used to be our number one dish until we started exploring their menu. 6) BRASATO DI MANZI: This is an ultra-delicious bone-in slow-braised beef short rib dish that's out of this world! And finally, let's talk about dessert. Their NONNA'S CAKE is the best butter cake ever! It's their grandmother's own recipe, and it's a must-try.

To start with the positives, because there were some, the service was outstanding. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and professional. Our espresso martinis were excellent, and my fiancée's food was genuinely great. She had the seabass, which was perfectly prepared, and oysters that were fresh and enjoyable. Unfortunately, my meal was a completely different story. I ordered the hanger steak with scrambled eggs, and both were overwhelmingly salty. The steak was over-seasoned to the point of being barely edible, and the eggs were so salty they were simply not edible at all. I tried to push through because I know I'm someone who watches sodium and restaurant food can sometimes taste saltier, but this was far beyond that. This was excessive. The guacamole and pico de gallo also tasted like they had been sitting out far too long, clearly not fresh and likely from the day before. I ended up sending the food back, something I almost never do. I wasn't expecting a full refund, but I was surprised that there was no effort made to offer any kind of discount. To be fair to our server, I didn't make a big scene, I simply said the food was too salty to eat. In hindsight, I probably should have taken the offer to have it remade, but at that point my appetite was gone. What made it worse is that I left the restaurant still hungry and really disappointed. It's especially unfortunate because we had actually been considering this restaurant for an upcoming graduation reception. After this experience, that's completely off the table. We won't be returning. It's frustrating when a place can clearly execute well in some areas but completely miss the mark in others. I truly hope this was just an off day, but based on this visit, I can't justify giving it another chance.

We loved the atmosphere -- the warm lighting combined with the natural beach daylight coming through the windows created a peaceful ambiance. 2. As a table of three, we were comfortably able to share 2 appetizers, 3 main courses, and 2 desserts. The Fish Tacos, Wagyu Beef Burger (medium rare with added blue cheese), and Pistachio Tres Leches dessert stood out the most. The grilled octopus and tuna tartare were also excellent. The octopus was incredibly tender -- not chewy or overcooked at all. The tartare was fresh and well-balanced with avocado, although we did have to ask for an extra bowl of chips since it originally came with only five small chips. 3.

Food was very good, selection is very safe options, nothing too wild or experimental I've seen. I personally picked the sea bass fish tacos for $24 and it was very good! Consider this is Malibu and their rent must be astronomical. Also the pistachios tres leche dessert cake was perfect to end the meal and share with. With half dozen oysters to share, two cocktails, two taco dinners, plus one dessert to share you're looking at around $150+ after tax and nice deserving tip. So it's not spot if you're on "budget" but consider the location and the view. You're in Malibu! They also have valet but i came around 5pm when most people are leaving the beach anyways so street parking was "relatively" easy for me. I will recommend and come back to when I'm in the area.
