    Pasta garlic oil mushrooms, spinach, and olives
    Steve W.

    What a find!! We were enjoying our friends band, 3 Chord Kings at Mother's Tavern, and got hungry. Across the alley about 40 feet from door to door is this Italian place. I asked a local in Mother's if it was any good, he replied "effing yes it's great". That was enough for me. In between sets we enjoyed pasta with spinach, mushrooms, and olives. I tried the Italian Trio. This is three small portions of Chicken Parm, Fettuccine Alfredo, and meat lasagna. Off the charts explains the meal. The service is great, and the vibe is small, local, beach cool. I can't give it 6 stars, but I would. We shall return for what we see is yummy looking pizza. Well done Sunset Pizza and Pasta!

    we enjoyed our experience. we came for pasta: one puttanesca and one spaghetti with sausage links. delicious flavors along with the accompanying bread. the puttanesca is heavy on the anchovies. as someone reviewed previously the spaghetti sauce was watery but when brought to the chef's attention he fixed it right up! next night we got a large pizza with 3 toppings and a chicken parm sandwich. the pizza was great but the sandwich bread was not so good. a nice salad accompanied the sandwich that had very good chicken. we got this order to go and the sandwich plate had two sandwiches. i saved one for the next day but only ate the chicken. tasty. service is great! comfortable with highway view or secluded towards the rear. i would recommend coming here. servings are good size. both meals came to $50+

    I love coming to this place for lunch ! I always order personal pizza chicken Alfredo or mozzarella sticks which comes with ranch and marinara sauce on the side and they never disappoint when it's comes to making pizza and pasta and mozzarella sticks. The service is great! The two gentleman there are always welcoming with a smile and will make sure you are taken care of with everything you need there and I call ahead so it gets me in n out ! I recommend getting the mozzarella sticks there are yummy!

    MUST TRY!! I came here once on a whim- now it's a true favorite. Beautiful atmosphere (right by the beach), the most attentive and hard-working staff, and an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work. The food is fantastic, especially anything with their pesto and the menu has so many delicious pastas and pizzas to choose from. The salads are super fresh. The caesar dressing and vinaigrette are both exceptional. They serve warm house made garlic bread that's absolutely delicious! This place never disappoints.

    Heirloom: A Farmhouse Restaurant is an absolute gem. We came for a birthday dinner, and it was…read moreeasily one of the most heartwarming and delicious dining experiences I've had in Los Angeles. This mother-and-daughter operation has a warmth you simply can't manufacture. The mother personally came over to greet us, the ambiance was impeccable, and the service was exceptional from beginning to end. We had the shrimp curry, beet salad, French onion soup, short rib, scallops with mushroom risotto, and raspberry cheesecake, and everything was phenomenal. After finishing the shrimp curry, we still had some of the incredible sauce left, so our waiter suggested a half order of garlic bread to soak it up. Absolutely fantastic and exactly the kind of thoughtful recommendation that defined the service. Even the things I initially thought I wanted differently turned out to be perfect as served. I wished the French onion soup had more cheese until I discovered it at the bottom and realized the proportion was perfect for the flavor. Even the filtered water may genuinely be the best I've ever had at a restaurant, and our glasses never went empty. They also boxed our leftovers for us, another small detail that showed the level of care throughout the night. I'm honestly surprised Heirloom hasn't made the Michelin Guide. The service was on par with many Michelin-recognized restaurants I've visited, but with a warmth and personal touch that made the experience even more memorable. They comped a raspberry cheesecake for the birthday, and it was so incredible that we ordered another slice to take home. They surprised us by comping that one too! Exceptional food, impeccable ambiance, genuinely thoughtful service, and hospitality with real heart. Don't miss this place.

    Let me start with the positives because the food was genuinely good. I'm not even an eggplant…read moreperson, but their eggplant appetizer was so good. They're known for their French onion soup and it was good, but I definitely wouldn't call it the best I've ever had. That said, it was probably two hours after we sat down by the time we actually got our soups , so maybe we were just really hungry by then haha. For our mains, we did the short rib, pork chop, and filet. Everything was delicious, but the filet was hands down the standout for me. The pork chop is wet aged, so it can look a little pink even when properly cooked, which threw one of my dining companions off a bit, but it was still good. Unfortunately, the experience was a different story. We had a 6:30 reservation and didn't leave until 9:45. We waited about an hour just for our appetizers, and shortly before they arrived, we were told they were down a cook and to expect delays. A three hour and fifteen minute meal for two and a half courses is just crazy. My biggest issue was the lack of communication. I wish we had been told when/before we were seated that the kitchen was significantly delayed so we could decide whether we wanted to stay or make other plans. Instead, we were already well into the experience before we got that information. The AC also wasn't great. It wasn't unbearable, but it was definitely uncomfortable, especially during Southern California's heat wave. I'm not sure if the AC just isn't very strong or if there was an issue that night, but sitting there for more than three hours while already feeling warm definitely didn't help. Then, right before our mains finally came out, we were offered complimentary half glasses of wine as an apology. Two of us declined, and one of my dining companions actually requested a completely different drink, but the wine was still brought to the table anyway (never received the requested drink either). If we've already said no, please don't bring it anyway. And honestly, after waiting that long, you need the full glass haha. At that point, I would have much rather been offered a complimentary dessert or something that actually addressed the three hour wait. The owner did come by twice and was very nice, and we were genuinely trying to be understanding of the situation. I just think there could have been more communication and a more meaningful effort to make up for the experience. Dessert didn't really redeem things either. We tried the crème brûlée and banana bread dessert, and neither would make my list to order again. The crème brûlée seemed overcooked and the banana bread dessert just didn't do much for us. So where does that leave me? The food is good, and there are definitely dishes I'd order again, especially the filet. But good food can only make up for so much when you spend more than three hours at the table, especially when you're hot and waiting most of that time. I'd be willing to give Heirloom another shot, but not before we get some cooler weather and I can confirm they've actually hired a second chef to help keep things moving at a more reasonable pace. If those things are sorted out, I'd be interested in seeing what the experience is like when everything is running the way it should.

We were seated in a dimly lit back corner, which set the mood for a date night. Tables are close together, so it's intimate. That's great for atmosphere, but not ideal if you want privacy. Our waiter, David V., was fantastic. My girlfriend prefers Pinot Noir, and he let us taste two at the same price point before choosing. We went with the Louis Jadot, which surprised me. Many Pinots have a bite at the end, but this one had a very clean finish. We shared several dishes to get a good mix: - Sicilian mushrooms: Turned out to be stuffed mushrooms. Not what I expected, but delicious. - Sea bass: A small portion (about 4-6 oz), but tasty, with a delicious sauce. - Paella de Carne: Well seasoned with a nice crispy bottom. I usually prefer seafood paella, but we wanted some meat this time. Good, though I've had better. - Lamb chops: I enjoyed them. My girlfriend found them a bit gamey. - Duck:My girlfriend found it a little dry, and I've had better. When I mentioned her birthday, they brought out a complimentary dessert with a candle. We hadn't finished our wine, so they let us take the bottle home. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would come back to try the seafood paella. It's a great spot for a date or special occasion. Make a reservation, ask for David, and try the Louis Jadot.
