It might seem slightly premature to proclaim that Downtown L.A.'s restaurant revival has finally found its pièce de résistance with this expansive Italian commissary and gourmet market, but we're willing to take that chance. Taking up the entire corner block of Seventh Street and Grand Avenue, this sprawling space of glassed-in gorgeousness awash in white is both a restaurant and a market, a bakery and a bar, a worthy dining destination and a welcoming escape from the outside grit and grime. Open all day (starting at 6:30am), the gourmet shop and bakery is where you can get a fresh cup of…

A ridiculous dining experience
by Eater101 at Citysearch
LA's most ridiculous dining experience. Pretending to be New York and looking silly at it! NO BUZZ just NOISE! A beautiful space with great looking food that may as well be catfood because you can't sit and enjoy it unless you are a 20 year old air head! So noisey that you can't hold a conversation, can't hear the waitress and can't hear yourself think let alone put down a plate of food. The help looks like they are in pain overcoming working in the noise. Too bad because the food is beautifully prepared. You also have to FIND help and ASK for service at the takeout counter. Not a great location either unless you like street urchins. IF I never go back I will not be missing a thing- except a head ache and indigestion, wishing I could enjoy their beautiful plate of food.
- Pros: Great looking food
- Cons: TOO NOISEY!!!

Finally! A #DTLA Brunch Spot
by Michael Fran at Citysearch
I've been for many an evening meal (side note -- you MUST get the Portobello Fries), but never brunch... until last Sunday. It hits the same strides as lunch and dinner -- fantastic menu options, great server-to-patron ratio and excellent service and food. Go for the Farmers Market Breakfast and try a side of the berries with honey yogurt. The fresh juices make a great combo, and the on-the-house bread and jam while you wait is delicious. It's as busy and loud as any other time, but if you're a downtown resident you can't be but happy to see the place flourish.
- Pros: Farmers Market Breakfast; Honey Yogurt

top notch food, beautiful space
by heyitsmikesmart at Citysearch
I love this place. The pizza is great. The assorted sandwiches at brunch are amazing. The coffee is pretty damned good. The bread is fantastic. And the prices are SO GOOD.
Plus, they're incredibly flirty. So you get to feel really attractive.
- Pros: 10 food for 6 prices
- Cons: LOUD! I CAN'T HEAR YOU, WHAT DID YOU SAY? I SAID IT'S LOUD!
