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.

    We celebrated the New Year with a beautiful lunch at the strand house. The elevator was super helpful for my parents to get them up to the third floor. We had an amazing view and a wonderful time. The food was really great and the service was outstanding.

    Had Christmas Eve dinner at Tin Roof Bistro. We were seated promptly and food and service were delightful as always except for one thing: My husband ordered the special dessert of Bread Pudding. It really wasn't as described, and looked like we got the last bit of the pan it was baked in. There was almost no moisture - very little custard, no apples or cranberries, just a lot of toasted bread cubes, some burnt. We asked the waiter where was the fruit and rather than bringing us a proper portion from a new pan, he brought a ramekin of cranberries to add to it. Too bad - we saw another table's bread pudding and it looked amazing. If you are running out of a special, best to 86 it rather than try and scrape out one more substandard serving.

    My family and I had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner at North Italia, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The service was outstanding—our server, Blake, truly went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. The food was incredible! The bolognese was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed—a definite highlight for me. My sister, who usually avoids pasta, absolutely loved the ricotta cavatelli. It was creamy, delicious, and a standout dish that surprised her in the best way. The warm atmosphere, attentive service, and fantastic food made for a memorable evening. I would highly recommend North Italia for any special occasion or just a great meal out. We’ll definitely be back!

    The table next to us had children banging spoons into their glasses. They were unsettled and vocal throughout the meal. It was a festive atmosphere, but it was difficult to focus on my husband's conversation with the banging from the next table. The food was delicious. The service was great. My husband enjoyed his cocktail. Making our reservation was easy. The Christmas carolers were a nice touch for the holidays.
