In Short
Mario Batali (Babbo) and Nancy Silverton (Campanile, La Brea Bakery) are combining their love of authentic Italian food and artisanal breads to proffer what could be L.A.'s best pizza. The colorful restaurant welcomes business lunchers and late-night clubgoers with equal enthusiasm; the wine bar offers a selection of 50 Italian wines under $50. Menu items include crisp duck legs with lentils, lamb stracotto and 15 pizzas including squash blossom with burrata; prosciutto and argula; and clams, garlic and pecorino.

I've been wanting to go here since it first opened over a year ago. I live a block away and every time I drive by I see the line out the door, and I won't wait in line for ANYTHING! Finally, I decided that I would try to get a reservation sometime before 11:00 pm on a weekend!!! Well all they had was a 10:00 pm on Saturday so I took it. When my date and I walked in the door it was jam packed but we were seated right away...major points for that!! Our waiter was very helpful, and adorable as well : ) he recommended his favorite pizza and since they all sounded so yummy and we couldn't decide, we chose to go with his suggestion. We started with Nancy's chopped sald and it immediately brought back memories of my nana's salad, the best!!! We tried the squash blossom appetizers and they were good, if a little greasy. We had a great quartino of wine and the pizza came out soon after. We had been drooling over everyone's pizzas around us and couldn't believe the girl next to us was leaving the crusts behind!!!! the best part!!! our pizza was FANTASTIC!!! and this is from a new yorker...we couldn't get over it and already made another reservation to go back...it was definitely worth the wait!!!
Pros: best pizza ever!!
Cons: so difficult to get a reservation!!!

after waiting almost a month to get a table we went and were just overwhelmed by the quality of the food The caponata appetizer was delicious and the pizza the best in town We tried several but the best hands down was the classic marguerita : thin crusted , oven baked with the freshest tomatos and basil The desert ( boudino) was so over the top that we tried to reproduce it at home the following day The place is not romantic ( very noisy) but is worth the trip and the wait
