• Italian • Manhattan Beach
Booked 28 times today
Love and Salt is a story that begins with Cafe Pierre, a restaurant birthed by Guy Gabriele in 1977 to bring a taste of France to Los Angeles’ South Bay. While Cafe Pierre was a beloved part of the community for nearly 37 years, in 2014, Guy and his daughter Sylvie Gabriele, now the owner of Love and Salt, closed the restaurant to bring new life to the iconic space.Love and Salt is a philosophy: that food needs only two ingredients to be great. It’s a sensibility that informs the feeling in the restaurant and the dishes on the menu — Italian-inspired with Southern California soul. An approachable wine list and classic cocktail program similarly reflect the vibrant SoCal setting of the restaurant, located just steps from the Manhattan Beach pier.

    My husband and I had a memorable dinner last night. Service was impeccable. My husband uses a Seeing Eye Dog and we felt welcomed. Kudos to the service staff and the chef! The food and drinks (try a Bloody Mary here) were sublime. We wish we had a restaurant of this quality near where we live! Happy Thanksgiving!

    We had the best lunch today! The service was friendly, accommodating, and prompt, even during a busy rush. We were seated right away for our reservation, and our server quickly greeted us and took our order. Drinks and food arrived timely, which was perfect for our lunch meeting, allowing us to finish within an hour. I had the yellowfin tuna salad and really enjoyed it - it was tasty and impeccably presented. The staff were very friendly and attentive from the moment we entered the restaurant to when we left. An all around 5 star experience!

    We celebrated my mom’s birthday here at North, and had such a blast. We keep coming back because the food is fresh, delicious, and you get the most bang for your buck. We ordered the Lasagna Bianca Al Forno, Squid Ink Tonnarelli & Tuscan Half Chicken. There was plenty to share, with leftovers. Our server was nothing short of lovely - she took care of us with a smile on her face. We sat on the patio with our pup - it had started raining, so the patio area was covered and the heaters were on. Such a warm and toasty ambience. The dining room is so gorgeous, but got a little too loud - there was an echo that made conversation a little hard (even from the patio), but we all loved people watching. Thank you, North Italia! We’ll keep coming back for consistent, amazing, authentic Italian food. We have a blast with y’all.
