The vibe

A sunny Italian trattoria in Santa Monica's residential Pico neighborhood that channels la dolce vita with an expansive patio and an all-day Italian dining philosophy. The aperitivo hour program is one of Santa Monica's most authentic, with properly made spritzes and Italian small plates. A neighborhood anchor for the south-of-Wilshire crowd.
