At the end of a street of warehouses, a converted industrial space with a wood-fired oven, low light and loud music. Opened in 2012 by husband-and-wife team Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis, the Italian spot is still one of the harder tables to get in LA. Regulars order the split, roasted marrow bone topped with spinach gnocchetti and the truffle-heavy cavatelli. Many reviews mention booking a month ahead.
