Located in Hollywood, in fact right on my block next to Birds, the parking can be a bitch, though they have valet. This is a good medium prices Italian restaurant. The food tends to be heavy and covered in oil, but the food is tasty (too much oil on the pizza for my taste, but it tastes good) and the bread sticks are absolutely amazing, and a must try, though you must know that you will taste only garlic for the rest of the night, and even into the morning. This is some serious garlic.





A normal order of garlic sticks is 4 sticks, but you can get a half order as well. The sticks are slathered in parmesan cheese, olive oil and garlic. And you will eat too much for sure.

I had the Penne Al Forno, which is boneless and skinless chicken sauteed in mushrooms and sweet onions with penne, tossed in a pink marinara sauce, then literally slathered in mozzarella cheese and baked in the plate. It is damn flavorful and tasty, though quite heavy, but quite good at $17.50.

Kelly was a good girl and had the Verde Mista Salad with Chicken with organic baby greens, roasted red and yellow peppers, some parmigiano cheese and a lemon balsamic vinegrette. And she loved it. This was $14.

We also had an amazing desert, which for $6 was 2 smore's, made normally, but slathered in chocolate. They were delicious, though it started to rain, so we took this home, and it was not quite as warm as it could have been, still amazing.

We also got a $32 bottle of Shiraz, which was only alright, though they have nice glasses.
