I recommend making a reservation for Local Kitchen + Wine Bar on Resy in advance. It’s located on Ocean Park Blvd in Santa Monica, and we were easily able to find metered street parking.

We came here during the week and the place is beautiful. The hostess and bartender were super nice. We ordered the muscles with an extra piece of bread. The mussels didn’t have a lot of taste. We did not get the extra bread so I reminded the server. She brought out 2 slices and apologized. The pasta dish we had was really good. The wine was overpriced for what it is was. When we got our bill the server charged us $5 for bread. Bread ! Which we got after we finished the muscles. The whole experience was definitely overpriced. I was disappointed because I love the vibe and the people who work here.

Local Kitchen and Wine Bar is under new management and has a new chef. I am happy to report they have really upped their game. The service was great and the food was delicious. We had the mussels, the burrata and the cobbler. We will be back!

Great italian local place. Design and ambiance is really cool. Nice bar plus indoor and outdoor seating. The paste with wild mushroom was very tasty. So was the artichoke and the meat balls. Pizza is good but ask it them to make it well done.

This place was a pleasant surprised. We walked in and were seated right away even though the restaurant was packed. We ordered Brussels sprouts, chopped salad, spinach tagliatelle, and mussels.

The only reason I am giving this restaurant a three-star review is that the ambiance is nice, the food is OK, and the service is excellent. That being said, the restaurant manager refused our dog any water when it was very hot outside (this has never happened, in all of my years living in Los Angeles). The manager, Becki, was extremely rude and condescending. We will not be coming back.

We arrived early for dinner around 6:30pm and everything we ordered was amazing! Loved the food, service and atmosphere. It did get significantly louder by the time we left therefore harder to be in conversation. So happy we got to enjoy everything before it got busy. The most unique dish we had was the artichoke hearts, had never tried them fried before. We opted to share plates, 3 starters, 2 main dishes and 2 deserts with a bottle of wine and that was perfect for us!
