   Amazing Spring menu additions -striped bass and Delta Asparagus pizza. The yellowfin tuna crudo and burrata di Puglia bright and fresh. The Lasagna Arrotolato has the most delicious bolognese sauce. I could eat here every night!

   Came here again and really love this place. Consistently good. Meatballs are great, burrata dish is tasty and fresh. The lasagne is great to share. Drinks are amazing. Will be coming back again.

   Food and service are consistently perfect. This is my favorite restaurant in Manhattan Beach. Try the chicken. It is exceptional.

   We love this restaurant and enjoy manager Mark when we see him (congrats on the baby!). We typically sit at the bar but had a table last night. Our servers were nice, one was training. Whether due to the bar or just training, it took us 20 min after sitting down to get our first drink and place our initial order. Not a big deal. Our reservation was at 6:00. We had two glasses of wine each , some food items, and then dessert. At the conclusion of dessert at 7:15, the check was dropped without asking if we wanted anything else. Then the manager came over at around 7:20, no later than that, and asked if he could take our wine glasses. I said “well I think we’d like to order another glass of wine if that’s ok.” He seemed annoyed and said we have another reservation for this table at 7:30 but I’ll let your servers know. (The server did return and told us we couldnt in fact order another glass of wine but could go to the bar.) So for our night out and reservation we had essentially a one-hour period to enjoy ourselves before being pressured out by the manager. Really unfortunate. We left a big tip for the servers because they were friendly and it’s not their fault they were being pressured. But dang, poor people skills by the manager and way to make some regulars feel unwelcome. We left without spending any more money and not sure we’ll actually return, which is unfortunate since we really like this restaurant, Mark, the bartenders, servers, food runners. If this is the only restaurant I’ve heard of that places 1 hr 20 min window for a reservation, no problem, just tell us and we’ll reserve elsewhere. But springing that on us at the end and having us feel unwelcome, pretty passive-aggressive and poor customer service.

    Food came out cold. They forgot about a dish. The dish they forgot - when it finally came out, it was extremely salty. They waived certain items from the bill because of these issues, and gave us a complimentary dessert, but nonetheless it still took away from the experience, and we ended up having to eat somewhere else later in the evening, as we were still hungry.
