The SceneA block from Staples Center, this venture from L.A. chef Joachim Splichal (who also owns Patina and Pinot Bistro, among others) is a luxe Italian bistro. Venetian crystal chandeliers, vibrant murals and a wooden floor imported from Tuscany lend an air of ballroom elegance to a downtown office building. The FoodWhile there are few groundbreaking creations on the menu, the fare is simple and satisfying. Pasta dishes are pleasing, from the baked sedanini (tube-shaped pasta) sprinkled with eggplant and buffalo mozzarella to the traditional trofie (pasta twists) al pesto, tossed with haricot verts and potatoes. Secondi courses are hearty affairs. Osso buco falls off the bone into saffron risotto, and voluptuous polenta is made richer with fontina cheese and a melange of chicken, porcini mushrooms and sausage.

Simply Terrible

By doneen2 on 01/21/2008

All six of us agreed that this may have been one of the worst dining experiences we have ever encountered. The sevice was deplorable. Most important the food was almost inedible. The servings were small, with little effort going into the plating and presentation. One fish entre was burnt. Two chicken entries we cold and dry. I had a pasta with chicken and mushroom dish and they forgot to put in the chicken and mushrooms! When they returned with the dish, the chicken they did mix in, would not have filled a tablespoon and was no more than small pieces of scraps that looked like garbage and should have been discarded. And, they neglected the mushrooms the second time as well. Another pasta dish was cold and had to be sent back as well and when returned it was tepid and dry. The only positive is that the room is lovely.

Delicious

My husband went there for lunch on our anniversary last Friday. Everything was wonderful!! The setting, service and food was suburb. And the prices were very fair. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.
