Santa Monica, Los Angeles · restaurant
A Santa Monica neighborhood spot that keeps things cozy, candlelit, and quietly confident. The menu leans seasonal and Mediterranean-ish, with pastas, seafood, and vegetables that feel thoughtful but never overwrought, and a wine list that’s built for lingering. It’s date-night friendly without the theatrics. Just low lighting, good bread, and the kind of place where splitting a bottle feels like the obvious move. Westside comfort with a little polish.
Fresh ricotta cavatelli tossed with mini meatballs.
Fresh burrata with persimmon, arugula, marcona almond, aged balsamic, and sourdough.
Baked in the bar-side oven with a blistered crust. Widely considered some of SM's best.
