Love and Salt is a story that begins with Cafe Pierre, a restaurant birthed by Guy Gabriele in 1977 to bring a taste of France to Los Angeles’ South Bay. While Cafe Pierre was a beloved part of the community for nearly 37 years, in 2014, Guy and his daughter Sylvie Gabriele, now the owner of Love and Salt, closed the restaurant to bring new life to the iconic space.Love and Salt is a philosophy: that food needs only two ingredients to be great. It’s a sensibility that informs the feeling in the restaurant and the dishes on the menu — Italian-inspired with Southern California soul. An approachable wine list and classic cocktail program similarly reflect the vibrant SoCal setting of the restaurant, located just steps from the Manhattan Beach pier.

    Our dinner at JOEY Manhattan Beach was perfection! We were greeted warmly with a smile and seated promptly for our reservation. The food was delicious and the service outstanding! We had the Butter Chicken, which was tender and full of flavor, and the Farmers Market salad, which was vibrant, fresh, and crisp. We will definitely be back!

    I'm giving this restaurant a 5 start review because of the overall experience. I took my wife there for her birthday recently. I used open table to make the reservation and added in the note it was my wife's birthday. When we arrived, the hostess was very pleasant and seated us. Our server, Artemio, came out and greeted up with some complimentary champagne in celebration of my wife. We ordered our appetizers, meatballs(Grade: B), and chips and dip(Grade: B). He recommended a wonderful drink for my wife, the Genet Agonafer(Grade: A). He best recommendation was for the pasta! I love beef cheeks, but my wife had never eaten it. He recommended the Scarpinocc(Grade: A), which was excellent! For dessert, he recommended their bread pudding or the Nutella Cake. My wife wanted the Nutella Cake. It was so good( Grade: A), and he comped it for my wife's birthday! He later came with a birthday card signed by the entire staff! They made my wife cry. She felt so special, and Artemio was incredible! We will be back, no doubt! This restaurant went above and beyond to make me and my wife's experience incredible. Artemio is a fantastic waiter!
