Was greeted warmly at the door by owner/ host Paolo. Dine LA menu very clean type and easy to understand. Good selections & wait staff very attentive and on top of job. Started with 1/2 bottle 2011 Querciabella Chianti Classico. Reasonable restaurant price. Primi - Branzino Carpaccio was sublime with tiny dash of sea urchin roe & fresh green scallons. Perfect. Secondi- Lamb chops in mushroom sauce. On the whole decent. Maybe a bit overly agressively salted but that not withstanding solid dish. Mashed potatoes & vegetables were well done and nice counterpoint to lamb. 3 double chops which were plenty. Dessert- Creme Carmel, was absolutely delicious and intensely creamy and not over sweet. Espresso well done. Over all very good meal and wonderful staff. Pros- Branzino Carpaccio, Staff, Wine list. Cons- Piped in music which seemed bit loud & at odds with total atmosphere. Certainly one of the best Italian in city.
