Best Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, this place has by far the most authentic Italian food in LA.
I have been in love with their food since they first opened in the 90's.
There are plenty of Italian restaurants in Los Angeles, but the hidden gem of the Italian cuisine is in Playa del Rey, very close to LAX and right by the beach.
Their Chilean Sea Bass and their Filet Mignon are the best 2 things I have had their, but the pastas are also very good.

This is one of my all-time favorites in the South Bay. We were introduced to the restaurant over 10 years ago when we went for a friend's 35th birthday, and started going 1-2x per month after, and have continued to this day. Owned and run by partners from Rome, with an Italian wait staff that has been there for years. Food is fresh and the daily specials are delicious. Look for local NBA coaches (past and present) to be sitting in tables in back.
