Our experience was wonderful! The waitress was very helpful with menu suggestions and attentiveness. The food was delicious. I had the duck breast and my wife had the mushroom pizza. We both shared the calamari and hummus to start. We will definitely return next time we’re in Westwood.

The staff was great. I didn't like the Spanish G&T so they made me a regular G&T without charging extra, which was very nice. The Bianca pizza was superb but the tricolore salad with steelhead was not great at all. Definitely not worth $30 either in quantity or quality. It was simply inspired. I love that prices reflect a fair wage for the staff and that they don't collect tips! May more restaurants begin doing this!

I really don’t understand why you would serve that nasty smelling disgusting anchovy dressing as a side salad. So many people dislike anchovies. It makes zero sense that it would be the default dressing. Do better.
