The Veal Scaloppine in its many forms (Piccata, Marsala, Francaise, Florentine) is equally iconic, as are the housemade pastas, particularly the Homemade Gnocchi and Fettuccine Alfredo.

The restaurant is described as having its home in a little yellow house on Santa Monica Blvd where it has remained throughout its history. Its longevity is built on consistency: the menu has changed relatively little over the decades, which is precisely what the devoted regulars expect.
