    Spruzzo's is always a must stop when I'm in the area visiting family, so I'm very happy to hear they're doing well after the devastating fires all around. The pizza is so good and they're always so accommodating to my large group. The staff is always super friendly and quick to help with all of our needs. It's the best Italian place in the area!

    Rigatoni Pesto
    Leah M.

    Great place! We were visiting the Getty Villa nearby and wanted a spot to eat before heading over. Our servers were amazing! So nice and asked about food allergies. The inside is decorated so cute. My rigatoni was perfect! Great touch with the sun-dried tomatoes. Definitely would recommend to try and would go back if I was in the area!

    I went here to visit the Palisades after the fires and the drive up here was lovely. We sat outside on a hot day which was a great idea as it was quiet and the service was quick and efficient. The food was good and portions were a nice size. Appetizers were solid and the Wine was fantastic. I'd come back here just for appetizers, view, and alcohol!

    clean & nice

    Went to this restaurant and the host was very kind, welcoming, and accommodating. It took a bit for our order to be taken, but other than that everything went very smoothly. The food portions were perfect--not too much and not too little. For being so close to the beach, the prices were very reasonable, and the food was absolutely delicious.

    House focaccia
    Allie G.

    Gorgeous restaurant!!! The aesthetic is absolutely beautiful with the tables set really nice as well. The lighting isn't too dim but not those annoying fluorescent lights. Our waitress was friendly and checked in on us periodically. We started with their house focaccia bread paired with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar that's on the table that we can pour ourselves. For our main entrees we ordered the 12" BBQ chicken pizza: it's a great size to either share or have leftovers for lunch ;) and the chicken piccata: this is served with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes and let me tell you these mashed potatoes are among the best I've had! The piccata sauce is light but has the perfect amount of citrus tang. Overall both dishes were great! We didn't indulge but they do have a full bar and wine list.

    Linguine Alfredo with Chicken
    Brooke L.

    We had a reservation and were seated quickly to a booth in the back, it was quiet and private. Servers were friendly but it did take longer than expected to get the check. I personally had the chicken Alfredo pasta which was delicious and served piping hot! We also shared the garlic fries to start which were outstanding. Nice dinner spot in the palisades!

    Rigatoni Pesto

    I just had a nice early dinner at Spruzzo Restaurant and had a superb time. Their ambience was relaxed and collected with enough space between tables. There were several great choices on the menu my order consisted of Fresh Baked Salmon, Rigatoni Vodka, Rigatoni Pesto, Linguine Alfredo and pizza Napoletana. The service was well planned with the server continually checking on drinks, bread and food quality.

    This place exceeded my expectations... came here for lunch with the girls after we got done hiking cz we found this place through instagram :) we seen a video of the place that went viral and it looked pretty good so we gave it try. First impression, the style and character of the restaurant was nice, it definitely fits the vibe. Everyone was so welcoming & friendly. Excellent service. Great menu choices, I had such a hard time deciding cause everything sounded so good. They serve you with delicious complementary bread. Don't sleep on that, it was tasty! We also started off with some Calamari, AMAZING!! If you love calamari it's definitely worth coming here for. It was gone before we could even snap a picture of it. I rewarded myself an espresso Martini after a good hike lol & let me just say that I will do the commute just for those 2 things alone... I mean wow, the drink was made with love. Haha I went ahead with the chicken pesto sandwich with avacados & a side of ceasar salad. The girls got Chicken Alfredo & Homemade chicken Ravioli... everything was very well seasoned which made it extremely satisfying. Last but not least, we ended it with delicious Tiramisu for dessert, I'm sure that's a crowd pleaser :D Also the owner was kind enough to introduce himself & showed us such an appreciating dinning experience. We definitely went into a food coma on the way home. Shoutout to my girl Evelin for the 2 hr commute home!!

    We've been coming to North Italia for years now but our dinner tonight was a disaster…read more We arrived at 6.30pm. Placed our orders at 6.45. 2 caesar salads with a side of salmon and a pizza. We were the only guests outside. The restaurant inside was 2/3 full. Drinks went un-refilled. No-one checked on us. By 7.20 we started asking about our food. 5 minutes later my husband's pizza arrived. It was cold. Then our two saiads / salmons arrived 5 minutes later. They were nice but my husband decided just not to eat by this point. The manager bought us a slice of cake as an apology. But then it was added to the bill and had to be removed. When the final bill arrived we waited ages for someone to take payment. In the end we ended up taking our card and check inside to take care off it. It just felt like the staff had given up. I don't know what happened to this place but this was a huge disappointment. It looks like North Italia is off our restaurant list now.

One of the first restaurants to reopen since the fires, Prima Cantina gives off a friendly demeanor, as the employees are attentive and thoughtful. My friends and I came around 4:30pm on a Saturday, before the evening dinner rush began, and were treated to a cozy Californian feel to the restaurant, which was decorated in shades of blue and woods. We first ordered the guac and chips, which went magnificently alongside our classic margaritas (heads up, they're strong! Nice!). Additionally, we ordered the Street Corn Esquites, which had a lovely roasted / smoky aftertaste, but could've done well with an additional lime slice or two. The steak quesadilla was stellar, especially alongside the cilantro rice. Simple yet effective, the flavors of both the main and the side worked so wonderfully in conjunction. I could eat a whole tub of that cilantro rice. Would definitely come back!

The place was clean and organized but has a very small dining area. It was lunchtime though, so I sat myself at a nice windows table right away. Service is a little off; the server could be more friendly. They did let me charge my phone though. I had a very large Mahi Mahi burrito which for $24 is still expensive. The side sauces were hot(I like cold)and did not taste right. The burrito itself was an above avg. size but on the bland side. I won't repeat visit; not bad but too many excellent mexican food options elsewhere.

However, few restaurants revere cheese like Santa Monica's Forma. Short for "formaggio" (Italian for "cheese"), Forma prides itself on an entire menu dedicated to cheese. But pasta-holics come for Forma's unique "dalla forma" preparation method, finishing their pastas within a full wheel of cheese. This technique is far from traditional, but it certainly is intriguing enough to entice locals and tourists to routinely book out the dinner service. Forma shares a popular block of Montana with a Sweet Lady Jane and a Williams-Sonoma. The golden yellow logo pops against the deep grey awning and slate walls out front. Enter through the tiled patio into the moody space. Cool lighting shines down onto the white subway tile and grey faux-wood floors. To the left, cheese fridges and panettone stock the wooden shelves behind the marble bar. To the right, wooden tables are pressed up against a diamond-upholstered half booth. In the far back, full cheese wheels are lined up along a sturdy wooden table, ready for the dalla forma finish. Modern instrumental tunes play unobtrusively around the space. We arrived for an early weekend dinner, and we had our choice of tables. We ordered a wide variety of dishes to share. The best plate of the night was the Roasted Gnocchi. The melt-in-your-mouth pockets were smothered in taleggio fondue, cut with tart cherry tomatoes and lemon zest. I also enjoyed the creamy saffron Risotto (finished in a Grana Padano wheel); however, I thought the dish was a tad salty, and the accompanying ossobuco was a clash in flavor. The other dalla forma pastas were good-not-great. On both, I loved the perfectly al dente noodles. The Chitarra Cacio e Pepe (tossed in a wheel of romano) was rich and creamy, but otherwise one-dimensional (in need of more salt or pepper). Meanwhile, the Fettuccine Bolognese (paired with a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano) was overwhelmingly wine-forward. Other sharables were fine, but not overtly memorable. Crispy Artichokes salad was a mostly standard mix of arugula and goat cheese; the unique fried artichoke reminded me of fried onions. The Pizza Raspadura was topped with melt-in-your-mouth Grana cheese shavings; however, the undercooked, flavorless crust was a dud. The hearty Cheese Fondue Roasted Cauliflower au gratin was served in a piping hot skillet, but the bites never achieved a perfect crisp. A few dishes were inexcusable. The Camembert platter included two tiny bites of cheese, two not-quite-crispy crackers, and a smattering of dull accouterments -- I could craft a far superior board with ease. Further, the Eggplant Parmigiana was sad and soggy; a shameful protein to pair with an otherwise impeccable marinara. Lastly, the Green on Greens was a wildly expensive plate of simple steamed veggies with a vaguely lemony butter sauce. The service was mostly hands-off after we stopped placing orders; the dalla forma chefs, however, were eager to share their craft. Our bill approached $300 (after tax and tip), and, frankly, the food was underwhelming for the cost. Namely, the popular dalla forma pasta dishes didn't quite hit the mark, and the diminutive cheese board was laughable, and Forma's modern trattoria felt more aloof than inviting. While I wouldn't flat-out turn down an invitation back to Forma, I would focus my attention on a select few dishes to mitigate the restaurant's (surprisingly many) shortcomings.
