Soccer legend Alessandro Del Piero’s Italian spot leans into sleek design, polished service, and a menu of handmade pastas and wood-fired mains. It’s more of a dressed-up night out than a casual neighborhood joint, but still approachable for a relaxed Italian dinner.

Tagliatelle al Ragu all’Antica, Bucatini alla Carbonara, Pistachio Cheesecake

What makes it special: A polished Italian dining room backed by a celebrity owner, with pastas and cocktails designed for lingering dinners.
Who should go: Small groups dressing up for Italian comfort classics.
When to visit: Later evening reservations for a fuller, livelier room.
What to order: Tagliatelle ragu, carbonara, pistachio cheesecake.
Insider tip: Ask for a patio table on mild nights—the street-facing terrace feels surprisingly tucked away once you’re seated.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is typically available for around $12–$15; street parking on Beverly is limited and fills up after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual with a stylish edge — jeans are fine if paired with something dressy; many guests lean elevated for nighttime visits.
Noise level: Moderate — buzzy enough to feel lively but you can still hold a date-night conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, especially after 7:30pm.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, though the room is calmer and partially staffed compared to dinner service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Good selection — several pastas, salads, and sides work well for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited — you’ll find 1–2 naturally vegan dishes, but most pastas contain egg; staff can guide substitutions when possible.
Gluten-free options: Yes — gluten-free pasta is available on request, and many mains are naturally gluten-free, though no separate prep space.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — the polished setting and warm lighting make it ideal for a first date that feels intentional without being overly formal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? You can try, but walk-ins are hit or miss. Early evenings or late-night slots offer the best luck; weekends generally require a booking.
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat — older kids and teens will be fine, but the ambiance skews adult-oriented. No dedicated kids’ menu or space for strollers.
Best For
Better for: A dressed-up Italian night with handmade pastas, a sleek dining room, and polished service — ideal when you want something special without going ultra-formal.
Skip if: You want a casual, family-style Italian spot, large portions on a budget, or a quick in-and-out meal.
