The food was delicious loved sitting inside or outside more quiet sitting outside if you want something with less noise. Highly recommend the salmon, bass, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and the Pizza’s loved the watermelon spicy Margarita.

Our Brentwood favorite (over the siblings Toscana next door) for quality Italian food and crowd energy. Super friendly service. Great place to hang at the bar, watch a Dodgers game (no sound), and enjoy a quality cocktail.
