My husband and I took my parents out to dinner to Love Salt and we were not disappointed! Parking nearby can be tricky but we got lucky with street parking. Our reservation was at 6 pm on a Wednesday and it was already busy inside when we were seated. We had an amazing waiter who recommended a number of dishes for our group of four. We ended up ordering an arugula salad, their bread and butter appetizer, two pasta dishes (gnocchi and bone marrow), a pizza, and two desserts. Everything was tasty and fresh, and we loved everything we ate! A highlight of the night was the s'mores dessert! Can't wait to come back here again!
Came here for a couples date night. Cute ambiance and right on the main strip of downtown Manhattan. Vibes inside were good too, trendy and fun. We enjoyed our food and I highly suggest you get pizza and pasta. It seems to be their strong suit. All the meats in the pizza are nitrate free too!! Minus one star because we were disappointed with our wagyu picanha. My husband was looking forward to eating it all week and it was served cold and there was no fat cap and very rare. We did mention this to our server and got a free desert so we appreciate them caring!
Love&Salt, situated in the bustling heart of Manhattan Beach, offers delicious authentic Italian cuisine. We indulged in a fresh salad, delectable pizza, and delightful gelato dessert, all of which were full of flavor and clearly made with care. Although the service was a tad slow, it was understandable given the busy evening. The cozy ambiance transported me back to Italy, despite the small size of the restaurant. Overall, Love&Salt is a fantastic choice for anyone in the vicinity of Manhattan Beach looking to savor some outstanding Italian fare.
I do not recommend this restaurant for anyone with celiac disease or a strict gluten-free diet. The gluten-free pasta they serve is cooked in the same water as regular pasta, which is unacceptable. When I asked if they could use a separate pot, they refused. I have never encountered a restaurant that offers gluten-free pasta cooked in the same water. It seems pointless to offer it in that case. While there were some good food options available, I would not recommend them for those seeking gluten-free options. It feels like false advertising.

We have visited this restaurant twice, once on New Year's 2023 and again in October for a birthday celebration. We always make sure to order the bread and bone marrow pasta (which I would definitely come back just for this dish). We have also tried the butternut squash ravioli and the gem salad, both of which were delicious. The service is top-notch and we enjoy sitting at the chef's counter, watching the appetizers and desserts being prepared.
Great food and service, but unbelievably loud. We went to have a nice birthday meal as a couple, but could not hear each other over the din. We took most of our meal home and were relieved to leave. Also, the tables for two are the worst seats in the house crammed in a row between all the larger tables. We often had someone's backside up against our table. While the food was fantastic, we will not return.
The service at this restaurant is excellent and the food is absolutely fantastic! They serve very authentic Italian cuisine. However, the restaurant tends to be quite crowded, with tables placed very closely together, making it loud and difficult to hear the person seated across from you.
The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious. The service is fantastic, we had a great dining experience. We went for dinner and the price per person was between $50 and $100. I would rate the food a 5 out of 5, the service a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere a 4 out of 5.
