    With chef Antonia Lofoso at the helm, the house-made pastas and composed entrees are better than ever. Start with a superb cocktail, then venture over to the extensive wine list. Read more

    Scopa Italian Roots have wonderful housemade pastas like rabbit lasagnette and a beautifully simple chitarra that give it the bustle and buzz as when the doors were open on the first week. Read more

    Amazing Italian but so busy so kinda slow. The creste rigate is hands down the best pasta. Ricotta crostini, calamari, burrata, squash blossom, and brussels parm salad were amazing. Love the donuts.

    Antonia Lofasa's hit Venice restaurant has a tight menu of fresh pastas, including the pappardelle with pork shank and arugula, that goes well with the house Negroni, prepared by barman Pablo Moix. Read more

    The food here is amazing! The pork chop is one of the best you’ll ever eat, the meatballs are tasty as hell and the deserts are the perfect finish. BUT the staff are terribly rude.

    I am so glad a friend picked this for dinner. Who knew this gem was hidden in plain sight on Washington Blvd. it's easily on of the top Italian places in town. Great wine list too.

    Everything was very good. So many more things to try, but on my first visit, the baby kale salad was surprisingly good, prosciutto and burrata was great, meatball hero was delicious. Riceball = meh

    Delicious starters, made with fresh ingredients. Try their aubergine or the burrata and prosciutto. And the home made pasta! Good wine selection.

    Great vibrant environment and an awesome bar display with a great cocktail list! Good Italian food although portions are a bit on the smaller side.

    Still reeling from my visit earlier this week. Pappardelle, oxtail and the homemade ricotta are top favs. Fun service with a smile. Cocktails were ridiculously good. Fluffernutter.

    Awesome food and sharing plates. The drinks are great too but can add up if your having a big one!

    The Roasted Romanesco is delicious. This plate presents a variety of flavors and textures. The mint is an added kicker.

    One of my favorite restaurants in LA.. squash blossoms are amazing for an appetizer and try the truffle pasta for an entree.

    Must try the squid ink calamari. Chicken is good, though it's had a 30 minute cook time. Also, didn't try but they have fluffer nutter on the dessert menu 🙀

    Great vibe. Feels more like a buzzy bar. Wasn't blown away by the food although it was acceptable. I was expecting authentic Italian - it certainly ain't (IMHO).
