We are not fancy people. But this place was the perfect “neighborhood fancy” that felt special yet still comfortable, and we just adored it.

Recently, my family and I had dinner at Forma in Santa Monica and it was a delightful experience. We specifically went to try their “Dalla Forma” pastas, which are mixed in a cheese wheel. The pasta was noticeably fresh, and the method of mixing it in the cheese wheel added a wonderful depth of flavor.

What a great Italian restaurant! Big cheese selection, delicious pasta and risotto, some of which are made in a cheese wheel. They also have quite an extensive wine card and even some Bavarian beer. Lobed it!

A good time had by all. Nice place to visit, talk and have a meal. We ate inside and enjoyed the low ceilings, which allowed us to talk in our normal voices, a unique experience for many of us in today’s high ceiling restaurants. The food is very rich, as everything has a tinge of cheese.

One of the best places to get the pasta in cheese wheel experience. This place is all about cheese and half their menu and one incredible dessert is cheese (three dessert wines and three blues). Make sure to come here if you love cheese

Came for the cheese wheel. I thought if I got the most expensive dish that it would be the most delicious, but I was wrong. We asked the waiter for advise since it was our first time. Guess he doesn’t eat there because he just told us the most popular dish.

Unbelievable handmade pasta. It was so fresh, tender and flavorful. Came here with a small group and everyone’s dishes were fantastic. They also offered a few vegan options as well! The servers were speedy and friendly. The wine selection started at a higher price point but many seemed appropriate to the quality and flavor.

Cheese-focused Italian spot on Montana Ave. Came here on a Sunday around noon and made a reservation online beforehand to celebrate my bday with family. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Metered street parking, although free residential parking (most were for 2 hours, exempting permits) is available. Credit cards accepted. Kid-friendly. Single occupant restrooms available in the back.

Delicious!! First time coming here and had a good experience. Noodles were so good, and buttery and creamy. The cheese board was really fun. We would definitely come back! Staff was friendly, resturant was clean and nice. Bathrooms were nice also.
