Best gnocci EVER. Great service. At first, I thought the price was absurd for a gnocci since I grew up making it at home, and when only 5 gnocci came to my table, I was like, REALLY?? But... after my first bite, I understood the DELICIOUS dish I was savoring, and I would pay the price again if I came back to LA. Every single thing we ordered was DELICIOUS!! I will ba back and I do recommend this restaurant. PS. I would like to ask to the restaurant goes to refren using your phone in the restaurant and even worse, make a video conference while eating and bothering other clients.. very RUDE the couple we were sitting nearby.

This is hands down the best service and Italian food in the area. Their pasta dishes are amazing, especially when mixed in the huge pecorino cheese wheel! I also love the fish on parchment paper. You can’t go wrong at Pecorino!

I rarely write reviews but I had to give this place a five star review. The food is incredible! Chef Raffaele is incredibly friendly and gregarious. If you like wine, ask him about what they have and he will teach you. I learned a lot from him. Highly recommend. I come for his lamb dishes. Keep it up! I will be back.

Visited for the first time with friends. The food and service were excellent. Heat lamps kept me warm. I will definitely go back. Try it. You'll like it, too. I particularly enjoyed the lamb casserole. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender.

This is the most underrated Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. We have been there several times and every meal has been delicious. I can’t understand why this restaurant is not in the top 10 of Italian restaurants. In L.A. Service has always been good.

Charming authentic Italian. All the ingredients seem high quality, the menu is diverse and the incredible pasta is house made. A great place to go if you v want to hear each other, too.

Authentic, charming waiter and hostess. Great food. Acoustics are also great. The four of us could hear each other in full room.

First time dining indoors since covid-19 started and it was the best choice. Excellent service and delicious food. The Chef was on point with the tastes from beginning to end -- from the eggplant parmigiana to the pesto to our fish to the tiramisu. He was a gracious caring host, and I will definitely return and turn other friends on to this gem in Brentwood.
