Everything is amazing. Good simple Italian food. HUGE wine selection. Fun-casual-formal environment. You can't go wrong. Perfect for dates, business meals, and get-together's.

Super expensive, but the food, service and ambience are top class. Recommendations: - Rigatoni with meat sauce - The mini meatballs - Crab torta

Highly recommend Veal Scallopini (served original way), the Branzino was so amazing & flaky/crispy, the White corn ravioli w/ black truffles was so rich & delicious! Choc soufflé & volcano for dessert

Stand out dish from the tasting menu: white corn ravioli with shaved truffles. I'd also recommend the Maryland crab torta, duck slider foie gras, heirloom tomato salad and flourless chocolate soufflé.

Cheap it ain't, but Santa Monica's oceanside Italian crown jewel is a serious pleasure. A focus on grilled market offerings and their deep wine list is strongly encouraged. [Eater 38 Member]

the branzino which was lovely cooked in the wood oven/ corn truffle ravioli, which was fine...not as amazing as other reviews say. glasses of wine...$35-45 for a glass is normal. Ouch.

The White Corn Ravioli with black truffles is ridiculous good. When white truffles are in season you can get that shaved on top(for a large price, but well worth it).

Sweet corn ravioli with shaved black truffle. Rigatoni with truffle meat sauce. Caesar salad, grilled calamari.

Best for prime cuts of steak, pizza from a woodburning oven and lobster risotto. They also house one of the most impressive new world wine lists in town.

For meat--the NY Strip done over the almond wood-burning fire hearth is amazing. Medium Rare gives a new meaning to black and blue - amazing taste.

Appetizers: Jamon, & Grilled Salad. Pasta: Truffle Ravioli. Probably the best things on their menu & you will NOT be disappointed!

The closest thing I can find to Colombe D'Or in Provence. Amazing food amongst amazing art and a great waitstaff.

Check out the x-rated Picasso as you walk in on the left wall right above a two-top, adds an interesting dynamic to your meal.

Capo is cozy atmosphere and great food. Great place to catchup with friends

Great meal but be cautious of the waitress who oversold us. Looks like Natalie Portman. She ripped us off in royal style.

$80 salmon that tastes like normal salmon, not magic salmon.
Valeria KholostenkoJune 1, 2012
Nav and I both agree, gnocchi with black truffles is out of this world!

The Oregon Pinot was a ringer. Exceptional wine list.

This hot spot is known for its extensive wine list. Keep in mind: cardinals wear red.
