Etta

This Restaurant was recommended by a colleague for a work dinner and it was wonderful. Morris was a great waiter - patient with a large group, great recs and service. We had so many delicious items. The mushroom pizza was a favorite. Loved the orechetti pasta. The ricotta with the fresh bread was delicious. Short ribs were good, the condiments made it very good as a leaf lettuce or pita but it wasn’t anything extra special than a regular short rib.
I thought the pistachio ice cream was the best of the desserts we tried.

Etta, what is there to say other than - this place is 🔥! The place is spacious has fine decor with great ambiance, wide and pleasing music selection. Great vibe. I have had the pleasure of experiencing this fine eatery several times with my girlfriend. We’ve experienced most of their menu and the experience always exceeds our expectations. Favorites? The sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizzas - but the pasta, it is made in house and cooked to perfection, it is hard to imagine finding anything better outside of Italy. The salads are also delicious and made using the freshest ingredients. Main dishes also very good, we’ve tried the branzino and chicken. + artisan drinks. We’ve sat indoors, outside in the patio and at the bar. The service is immaculate where ever you find yourself, friendly and very attentive. If your on the hunt for the perfect location to host your next date night, or just in the need of a fine culinary experience. Etta is your destination.

Came here for dinner and sat at the bar, which has full menu service. Every dish we tried was delicious and had some interesting and surprising uses of flavors. This is elevated Italian cuisine with good cocktails and ambiance.

Great space, great brunch, and great drinks. I really like the chicken picnic concept. Very cool, but there were a couple issues- The menu states wings, but actually mini drumsticks and they were a little undercooked. Cali75 is an excellent brunch cocktail- I highly recommend if you like a gin and bubbly mix. Etta, also sent me a follow up appreciation email, since I made a reservation. How thoughtful!

New favorite restaurant in Culver City!

We were sat immediately after arriving. Despite the cold weather the patio heaters kept us warm outside. We had quite a few dietary restrictions which they were easily able to accommodate (shellfish, nuts, etc). We also did not have to wait long for our orders to be taken and food came out at a steady pace. Honestly some of the best service I've had in a while. I believe Megan was the name of our waitress.

It's family style eating and 3 small plates + 1 main was more than enough for two people. The portions are extremely generous.

Don't skip the focaccia! And I can't speak highly enough about the cabbage.

Will definitely be returning!
