I have lived around the corner from this welcoming and long lived Ventura Boulevard Italian spot for over 20 years through two owners. The light and fresh menu keeps me coming back time and again with consistently well dressed and fresh chopped salads, body warming and slightly peppery zuppa alla ortolana (a pureed vegetable soup), parpadella angela with peas and prosciutto, or perfectly cooked chicken classics, such as piccata, cacciatore, milanese. The specials often include some sort of shell fish pasta, fresh fish, or risotto.
Pros: Friendly Service, Consistently Good Food, Valet Parking, Cozy-Family Vibe
Cons: Not romantic, older crowd
