Christopher T.

Lovely place for great pizza & great service. From the outside, you wouldn't expect it to be a really chill, relaxing vibe type of place with open kitchen and great place of local neighborhood organic ingredients joint. Very organic kid's drawing pics hanging throughout the place, it doesn't look out of place but more of family & neighborhood feeling kind of place. It's an all day place with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Got here between breakfast & lunch and both menu looks fantastic. Want to order them all but settled for pizzas and salad & of course lemonchello spitz. Great pizza dough and the ingredients are fresh and you can see and taste it that it makes with love for sure. Salad was good abit blanched for me but was focusing on the pizza so...very well make and well cook in the wood fired oven. The pastries look delish and smell fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly, no rush but chill vibe type of service. Prices wise, for 2 pizzas, a cocktail, and a salad and with tip...$150. Parking can be a hassle but if you are willing to walk a little, free neighborhood street parking or if you can find parking within 200feets, then it will be paid street parking or paid garage parking nearby. Still thinking of their pizzas, yum!

This place was amazing! I was so incredibly impressed. We came here with my kids, and this place is definitely kid friendly. We sat in the backyard patio, and loved it. They have heat lamps and twinkle lights. They have paper and crayons for the kids. Victor was our waiter and he was awesome! So friendly and kind and gave great recommendations Parking: Parking was not bad! Metered parking for 2 hours and ample on a Saturday. Food: We got the chicken meatballs, Arancini, the salad with the fried capers and shrimp, and tagliatelle mushroom dish, corn, margherita pizza. My favorites were the Arancini, anchovy caper salad, and the tagliatelle. The dish that stole the show was the tagliatelle! It was AMAZING! the pasta was honestly the best I've had and I've had some amazing pasta. I will hands down be back!

Milo and Olive is great for many things. It is a bakery, a great to go selection and breakfast, lunch and dinner. We love it. Parking is not my idea of fun, but that is okay. The service is great. They can help you and we dinned there and ordered food to take home. They had it hot and ready when we got out check. Milo and Olive uses seasonal, market-driven food which leads to the best ingredients available from local farmers and vendors with sustainable practices. Breakfast has the best handcrafted breads, rustic pastries and morning desserts. They also have a full breakfast men with dishes incorporating a variety of breads, For lunch and dinner they have great salads and pasta. They also have great pizza and I wish we had gotten an extra to take home. Next time we will. You will enjoy this place.

Hanger Steak
Andy C.

This review is based on a Saturday visit dining at their backyard patio. Why is that important? One of the main reasons I am taking some points off this experience is the setup. They have metal tables and chairs with loud speakers blasting music that echoes throughout the space. Add in loud crowds and kids dropping utensils, and it makes the whole environment pretty unpleasant. As for the food, we ordered the garlic knots, a croissant, the hanger steak, the peach and hot honey pizza, and the wood-fired vanilla bean pound cake for dessert. We covered a good amount of their key items. The main takeaway is that while everything is cooked well, but the dishes really lack flavor. I dine out to get flavors that are not easily made at home, and unfortunately, I did not find them here. The food lacks depth, and frankly, it needs salt to make it stand out. The pizza dough is actually really well prepped, easily as good as Pizzeria Sei, which is the best pizza place in LA, period. But again, it just lacks flavor. Also, as a small side note, there is a 4% employee health insurance surcharge added to the final bill. I probably just missed it listed on the menu somewhere, but oh well. Overall, it is a decent place, but I would not go out of my way to come back here.

Im a big Italian food lover and the pasta was great! Literally to almost perfection! The quality of the food was amazing, you can tell they take passion in making sure all the food is made with fresh produce. We were seated in the outside patio and the environment was warming. Plants, fresh, breeze, old school pizza machines. Such a good vibe.

I had such a mixed but ultimately great experience at Milo & Olive. The food? Honestly incredible. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and felt really thoughtfully made. The Diavola pizza I ended up choosing was so good--perfect balance of spice, richness, and that classic wood-fired taste. The bolognese was super authentic and just oozing with flavor, and the Caesar salad totally surprised me--in the best way. It had these tiny crunchy crumbs on top that gave it such a unique texture. BUT I have to mention something that really threw me off. I asked one of the pizza makers which pizza she recommended because I was stuck between a few options, and she paused, looked at me, and said, "I don't really like the pizzas here." I genuinely didn't know how to respond. I even had to double-check with my friend to make sure I heard her correctly. It was such a strange moment... especially because the pizza ended up being amazing. On the flip side, our server was fantastic. Even though she was clearly slammed, she kept checking in and made sure we knew she hadn't forgotten about us. That level of attentiveness goes a long way. Overall: incredible food, great service, but one very confusing interaction. I'd definitely come back..just maybe skip asking the pizza maker for recommendations next time

Market Veggie Pizza, Woodsman Pizza
Julia G.

This was good. Went here for a friend's birthday dinner, great place for a celebration! Street parking is super easy in the evenings at least. Staff are attentive and friendly. It has a moody and cozy vibe at night. They kindly gave my friend a free birthday dessert with a candle. We shared several pizzas - Market Veggie, Woodsman, and Peach and Hot Honey. The last one was my personal favorite. We also tried some salads which were very fresh but not as exciting to me personally as pizza (very few salads are). We also tried the vanilla bean pound cake with strawberries which was reminiscent of the classic angel food cake and strawberry combo, but the cake was a dense loaf. Leans on the higher end for pizza spots both in price but also quality.

Robert C.

Amazing pizzas. It makes sense why this place exists. It's there to fulfill your pizza desires. Don't worry, you'll get some veggies, too. The salads are killer. Loved the chunks of pepperoni in the salad because why not? Espresso martini hit the spot. Gave me a boost and a feel good vibe. Just what I needed. Service will be top notch. Not sure on which pizzas just ask. That's what we did.

Three Cheese Omelette, Iced Latte
Winn H.

Milo and Olive is a lovely brunch spot with ample street parking (pay by the hour). They have off-menu items at times, and during brekafast, the three-cheese omelette was it for the day. I enjoyed that with an iced latte, and it was simply delicious. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, though it did take the staff a bit to welcome me in. I ended up waiting out at the front; perhaps they thought I was planning to order coffee. The three-cheese omelette was a light meal. Imagine three cheeses and scrambled eggs, except make it milky, fluffy, and light. That's exactly what it was, a light meal paired with fresh greens. The iced lattes here are great, too. It was neither too dark nor too light, and the creaminess was good, too. It does get a water if you like to take your time, but it was otherwise a very enjoyable drink. So much so that I had to return for seconds an hour later!

Why am I having to pay for the restaurant's employees health insurance? For this they get 3 stars.

such great food here! very fresh ingredients and can tell everything was cooked with intention. the service was quick and efficient. loved the outdoor patio and vibe of this place!

Kimberly C.

Intimate dining in Brentwood. The food is very overpriced with limited options. I was craving pizza, but unfortunately when I went, there weren't many options that had a lot of meat. The pasta I ordered was very delicious and small. This place does seem quite popular with folks as it's a nice dress-up dinner place. Service of the place was great. I have no complaints there. There is plenty of street parking available. Overall, this place would be good for the ambience and pictures.

Kassandra S.

Absolutely amazing! I always drove past this restaurant peaking in every time, I'm so happy I finally made it inside! I cannot express how incredibly delicious, fresh, and beautiful this restaurant is!! The food am amazing, the pastry to die for I'm usually not a sweets person, but my friend & I shared a small dessert & I found myself wanting to order another one. The pastry was light, fluffy, not too sweet, tasted home made in my grandmas kitchen I cannot wait to come again and try something different. The service was attentive & we were sat at the bar next to where we can watch our food being made.

Cacio e pepe - sadly no longer on the menu

I wish the portions were larger but I understand restaurants have to make profit to stay open. as Ive said in review after review, a great meal requires wonderful food along with great service. and last night was wonderful in every way. thank you and we will return, sooner than later this next time.

Our server was so fun! The dirty martini was one of the best (frankly I normally compare to my own and this was very similar). The carbonara-esque pasta with guanciale was excellent as was the grilled calamari. We also got the duck ragu and prosciutto and burrata which were also great, but the former two were the stars along with the drinks. Might I also add that the bill was a pleasant surprise at the end of the night, so rare to find great food and drinks for a reasonable price these days. I loved it here, if I lived closer it would be j. my regular rotation for weekend dins.

Our server got our drink order and we immediately ordered food and he did not check on us for the entire rest of the night. The only person who remotely assisted us were the people running the food and clearing our table. As for the food, props to the chefs because everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and was also satiating. I loved the citrus and bite with the octopus dish.

To start, they gave me a basket of white bread which was amazing. It was fluffy inside and crunchy on the outside. For my appetizer, I got the burrata. This was so good. I do wish they gave me a full burrata rather than half but a fantastic deal and dish. It was super flavorful and I loved every bite. I ordered the capellini for my main since the waiter recommended it as light especially in this heat wave and I had to go back to work after. I'm usually not a fan of angel hair but this was delicious. I loved the fresh veggies in the dish. I only wish there were more shrimp rather than just the 3. For my dessert, I got the tiramisu. It was the perfect way to end this meal. They also have this power lunch deal that I will need to take advantage of next time!

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars…read more Had the pleasure of dining here last night after making a reservation last week for DineLA. My girlfriend and I had always passed by the area and have been around the neighborhood, but had never been able to eat here. We got there a bit earlier than our reservation, about 10 minutes earlier than expected. The restaurant was extremely busy at 7:10 PM, with multiple family dinners and a huge birthday party happening all at once. After about 3-4 minutes of standing in front of the door, our waiter asked if we had made a reservation and immediately sat us down at a table right in front of the kitchen. The DineLA menu wasn't extensive but because of that, we were able to try both appetizers and both desserts. As for the entrees, we decided to get the Tagliolini and the Tagliata di Manzo alla Pizzaiola. The appetizers were both really food, especially the sauce that the Posillipo came with. It was so good that after we finished it, we got the bread and dipped it in the sauce! The entrees were okay; I think the Tagliolini could have used a bit more salt or some cheese, like Pecorino or Parmigiano but the scallops that came with the dish was impeccably seasoned. The Tagliata was also good, especially the sauce that came on top, but I just wished I had more of it. Even though it was supposed to be a filet, I couldn't tell if it was that or a skirt steak. Lastly, I was a bit happy when our waiter came to our table before our dessert and told us that they had ran out of the chocolate cake and that we had the option to choose from their regular menu (whatever they had that was available at the moment). When the waiter mentioned a hazelnut cake, we decided to get that. Again, so happy that there was no more chocolate vanilla cake because the hazelnut lemon cream cake was absolutely divine! I loved the lemon cheesecake-like filling and the hazelnut crumble on the bottom that was so light and compact that it felt like a hazelnut rice crispy treat. At the end of our meal, I attempted to get parking validation, as I was told that parking was free if our meal was under 2 hours. When I tried to get the validation, the machine wouldn't validate and was telling me to pay the entirety of parking. Glad to say that one of the staff members (I'm not sure if he was the owner or the manager or someone high up in the restaurant) saw that I was struggling and had told me that he would help me get the parking issue situated, and he actually followed through and did! There was also another server who offered to take our photos and had posed us inside the restaurant to take the shots. He did a really great job and both my girlfriend and I were so happy with how the photos came out. This place had gone above and beyond our expectation and I think its safe to say that we will definitely be back to try their regular menu!

We happened to be in the area after dropping off some family at LAX and decided to stop by because we were starving. We didn't have reservations, but the staff welcomed us with open arms and were kind enough to squeeze us in. That hospitality alone made a great first impression. The food was fantastic from start to finish. We started with their bread, olive oil, and spread, along with the carbonara croquettes, which were absolutely delicious. Since they didn't have carbonara pasta that evening, I decided to give the croquettes a try instead, and I'm glad I did! We also ordered the grilled octopus served over a bed of lentils, which was excellent. For the main courses, we had the tortellini tossed in a cheese wheel and the braised beef short ribs with beef short rib ravioli. Both were outstanding ! Forma is a small, intimate restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, and genuinely great service. It's not often that you find a place where the food and hospitality come together so perfectly. It's a bit of a drive for us, but after this visit, we'll definitely have to make the trip back much sooner than another 10 years! Highly recommend!

However, few restaurants revere cheese like Santa Monica's Forma. Short for "formaggio" (Italian for "cheese"), Forma prides itself on an entire menu dedicated to cheese. But pasta-holics come for Forma's unique "dalla forma" preparation method, finishing their pastas within a full wheel of cheese. This technique is far from traditional, but it certainly is intriguing enough to entice locals and tourists to routinely book out the dinner service. Forma shares a popular block of Montana with a Sweet Lady Jane and a Williams-Sonoma. The golden yellow logo pops against the deep grey awning and slate walls out front. Enter through the tiled patio into the moody space. Cool lighting shines down onto the white subway tile and grey faux-wood floors. To the left, cheese fridges and panettone stock the wooden shelves behind the marble bar. To the right, wooden tables are pressed up against a diamond-upholstered half booth. In the far back, full cheese wheels are lined up along a sturdy wooden table, ready for the dalla forma finish. Modern instrumental tunes play unobtrusively around the space. We arrived for an early weekend dinner, and we had our choice of tables. We ordered a wide variety of dishes to share. The best plate of the night was the Roasted Gnocchi. The melt-in-your-mouth pockets were smothered in taleggio fondue, cut with tart cherry tomatoes and lemon zest. I also enjoyed the creamy saffron Risotto (finished in a Grana Padano wheel); however, I thought the dish was a tad salty, and the accompanying ossobuco was a clash in flavor. The other dalla forma pastas were good-not-great. On both, I loved the perfectly al dente noodles. The Chitarra Cacio e Pepe (tossed in a wheel of romano) was rich and creamy, but otherwise one-dimensional (in need of more salt or pepper). Meanwhile, the Fettuccine Bolognese (paired with a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano) was overwhelmingly wine-forward. Other sharables were fine, but not overtly memorable. Crispy Artichokes salad was a mostly standard mix of arugula and goat cheese; the unique fried artichoke reminded me of fried onions. The Pizza Raspadura was topped with melt-in-your-mouth Grana cheese shavings; however, the undercooked, flavorless crust was a dud. The hearty Cheese Fondue Roasted Cauliflower au gratin was served in a piping hot skillet, but the bites never achieved a perfect crisp. A few dishes were inexcusable. The Camembert platter included two tiny bites of cheese, two not-quite-crispy crackers, and a smattering of dull accouterments -- I could craft a far superior board with ease. Further, the Eggplant Parmigiana was sad and soggy; a shameful protein to pair with an otherwise impeccable marinara. Lastly, the Green on Greens was a wildly expensive plate of simple steamed veggies with a vaguely lemony butter sauce. The service was mostly hands-off after we stopped placing orders; the dalla forma chefs, however, were eager to share their craft. Our bill approached $300 (after tax and tip), and, frankly, the food was underwhelming for the cost. Namely, the popular dalla forma pasta dishes didn't quite hit the mark, and the diminutive cheese board was laughable, and Forma's modern trattoria felt more aloof than inviting. While I wouldn't flat-out turn down an invitation back to Forma, I would focus my attention on a select few dishes to mitigate the restaurant's (surprisingly many) shortcomings.

Trendy doesn't always mean amazing food…read more We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation. We easily found parking about 25 yards from the entrance. The restaurant was almost empty, our dining companions hadn't arrived yet. We ordered sparkling water, crispy provolone and the olives, almonds and fries appetizers. The provolone arrived warm, at best, the vodka sauce it was served with was delicious. This would have been fantastic if it arrived in a small cast iron skillet, instead it was a slab of cheese that would have been better had it not arrived at the table. The olives and almonds were small and forgettable. The fries were divine. Hot, salty and served with ketchup and a Chipotle mayo. The place began to fill and I began to think we may have ordered the wrong dishes. The server was challenged. Good thing I wasn't too hungry, I settled on a caesar salad that was...boring. My guy had the Tonnarelli, that was supposed to be cacio e pepe but it was drier than the Sahara and if there were a sprinkle of pepper it ran away, far away. Our friends enjoyed the Tagliatelle and they likely would have enjoyed a shower of Parmigiano Reggiano. There was none in sight. The bread and butter was super delicious. We should have ordered a boatload. At $14 for a slice of bread served with the same almonds and olives was silly...the garlic butter was super yummy. Serve the bread and butter. Ditch the olives and almonds and by all means, slather that gorgeous butter everywhere. The coffee arrived after the chocolate and pecan brownie and dessert spoons arrived after the cannoli was devoured. We learned our server loved our friendliness on what he described was his 1st night. A few missteps, but he was tipped a generous 35% because everyone has a first night. Ignacio was friendly, and will be a fantastic server in due time. He has hopes we'll visit again. I explained we would likely see him in Argentina sooner than that. No visit by a manager. Drinks and food were dropped by alternate staff whose robot demeanor felt like we were inconveniencing them. Best service of the night was the security guard posted outside the front door - he opened and held the door for us as we arrived and as we left and even bid us a good evening. Class act. If trendy is your thing, you might enjoy this place, it was a miss for me. Expensive too. I get it though. Wages, insurance, location, and prices are what they are.
