Zagat Survey 1999

" ...this is a restaurant that would not seem out of place along Rome's chic Via Condotti...whether a pre-theater destination or an excuse to discover one of downtown L.A.'s premier architectural landmarks, this authentic trattoria will not disappoint."

Where, Los Angeles - June 1996

"...this elegant trattoria gives me a chance to feel like I'm in northern Italy...The choice of pasta is almost over-whelming, and my favorites include linguine tossed with slivers of tuna, halibut, and salmon, spaghetti baked with a rich sauce of eggplant and mozzarella, penne mixed with chicken in a creamy pesto, and feathery gnocci made of potato and spinach."
