You can actually watch everything being prepared right in front of you, and there's something about seeing the pasta and dishes come together fresh that makes the whole experience feel that much more authentic. The ragu is the star for me. The first time I ordered it, I'll admit I underestimated it because visually it looks so simple and isn't swimming in sauce. Then you take a bite and realize how much flavor is packed into such an unassuming dish. It's rich, savory, perfectly balanced, and one of those dishes I find myself craving afterward. I'm also a huge fan of their salad, and I've done the tasting menu twice now. Both times were excellent and gave me a chance to try things I probably wouldn't have ordered on my own. And definitely save room for the tiramisu...it's delicious! The space itself is intimate, with a limited number of traditional tables and more seating around the bar/open kitchen area. Personally, I think sitting near the kitchen adds to the experience because you get to watch all the action. The service is another reason I keep coming back. Everyone has consistently been attentive, warm, and friendly, and Thomas, the manager, deserves a special mention. He is always welcoming and helps create the kind of hospitality that turns a great restaurant into a place you genuinely want to return to. One thing to keep in mind: gratuity is already included, so check your bill before adding an additional tip. Also worth noting, there's no full cocktail program here,just wine and beer, which honestly fits the simple, authentic Italian vibe perfectly. Fresh ingredients, great service, an intimate atmosphere, and food that consistently delivers. There's a reason this place has become one of our regular spots. And seriously... get the ragu.

I went for the BYO route and I went for a base of fettuccine with the ale olio sauce with mushrooms, eggplant, chicken, and sundried tomatoes for my toppings. Every pasta bowl is made to order so it comes out fresh and hot! The pasta was delicious and the pasta was perfectly cooked! Very full of richness and flavor and the spiciness was quite good! I am looking forward to coming back soon to try their other pastas and I can easily recommend coming here if you want some delicious pasta! You won't be disappointed!

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!

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.

After a very long day, I somehow ended up in Sherman Oaks driving down Ventura Boulevard when the…read morewords "Hungarian & Italian Cuisine" caught my eye. That combination was interesting enough to make me turn around, park the car, and walk over. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you don't plan. I was lucky enough to find street parking, but considering they are located in a relatively small shopping center on one of the busiest stretches of Ventura, they have wisely arranged valet parking as well. As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed by a gentleman who I assume was either the manager or the owner. They didn't really have a table set up for one, but instead of turning me away, they were kind enough to make it happen. That was a great first impression. The restaurant itself is extremely clean, smells nice, and is beautifully designed with artwork throughout. It has a comfortable, slightly modern atmosphere with tall ceilings that makes you want to sit down, relax, and actually enjoy your dinner instead of rushing through it. I ordered a bottle of sparkling water, the beef soup, pork chops, and pickles on the side. Everything was good--except the pickles, which just weren't for me--but the star of the meal was definitely the beef soup. The soup was excellent. Well made, well seasoned, just a tiny bit spicy, and the portion was generous enough that I would honestly say two people could share it. After a long day, it was exactly the kind of food I needed. The pork chops were also prepared well, although they weren't completely to my personal taste. I was expecting a little more seasoning or spice. That said, I'm not Hungarian, so there is a very good possibility that they prepared them exactly the way they are supposed to be made back home--and I'm the one asking Hungary to change its recipe for me. For everything I ordered, plus the quality of the service, my bill came to about $68 as of September 2026. Considering the amount of food I received, I thought that was very reasonable. I'll definitely be back. There are quite a few other things on the menu I want to try, and next time I'd like to come when I'm not at the end of a very long day, take my time, order something different, and possibly enjoy it with a good glass of wine.

During the week they're only open for dinner at 4:30PM until 10:30 PM which makes a weekday lunch craving unfortunate. Friday through Sunday is a different story as the AM to PM is abundant, with a small gap between 230PM til 4PM where they close on Saturday and Sunday only for the change over.
