It was a sad day when, for the third time since the new owner has taken over, that my friends and I ate here. We used to enjoy the well-priced home-style meals in this restaurant...those days are gone. The portions are MUCH smaller, and while the menu appears to be the same, obviously the new chef is either untrained or completely indifferent now. Most recently, we left hungry--the seafood tasted fishy, the meat tasted old, & the sauces in both of our dishes tasted canned. And what every fan of Italian cooking dislikes happened: the pasta was terribly OVERCOOKED. My wine had cork floating in it and the waiter didn't offer a new glass of wine, and the silverware was dirty. We left very disappointed that one of the most unpretentious LA restaurants is now not worth going to. Hopefully, they'll catch on, and make the necessary changes.
Pros: decor
Cons: unpalatable food, poor value, indifference
