Il Piccolo Verde

I grew up in France where millions of people of Italian background eat and make Italian food, so I'm usually pretty disappointed in Italian restaurants around here, because they are not authentic. After 11 years in LA of overpriced or bland Italian food, I finally found it! I went last Monday with wife and kid and had a real spaghetti carbonara. You CANNOT find better. For that alone, the restaurant deserves 10 stars. My wife had a Cioppino, seafood . I had a taste of it, pretty good too. For the kids they make half orders (thank you for making parent's life easier!). They also have a healthy menu, but that's not for me (HAHA!). For desert we shared a tiramisu, you cannot go wrong. Almost forgot about the special bread and the tapenade they offer, nice way to start. I also liked the top Italian tunes they play. Awesome food, good vibe! Will go back for sure, forever!
