One of the hidden gems in Burbank. The place is small but they have outdoor seating as well as bar inside. I had ordered chicken piccata and chicken Parmesan. Piccata was fine, but chicken parm was really good.
The butterscotch budino dessert was great too!

What an incredible hidden gem in Burbank! Absolutely everything about this place was a 10/10. I had the special of the night, asparagus risotto with pesto, and it was even better than I imagined it would be when I heard the server describe it. Every team member there was so accommodating and welcoming - even to the toddler that was there who was telling everyone that walked past "hi!" - every team member that saw him, went up and said hello themselves. What a wonderful place.

PS - Seth and Frankie were especially fantastic!

I went with my family to MA's and I was pleasantly surprised with the best scampi I've ever eaten. The shrimp was perfectly cooked so it was fresh and soft and full of great flavor with wine and butter and the pasta with it was perfect. One of our family got eggplant parmesan and another one got spaghetti and meatballs, and bruschetta chicken. Chicken was cooked beautifully soft, melts in your mouth. The young kids enjoyed their spaghetti and meatballs and even the garlic bread and knots. For dessert we tried three of them; one was an outstanding chocolate mousse with a little whipped cream on top which you could get with raspberries or not, and we got a Tiramisu and a delicious sweet pistachio cake with a little icing on top. Their garlic bread is amazing! You get lots of little pieces of garlic on it and it's soft bread with the crunchy crust I mean you can't get any better than that. They also gave us garlic knots. The only thing we could say wasn't 100% for us was that the broccoli and carrots vegetable mix was not cooked enough to be softer so we asked for them to make it softer and they did. A server will come around and ask if you want any more freshly grated Parmesan cheese on anything and they give you a lot if you want it . The portions are large. The service is incredible, our waiter was excellent and checked with us every few minutes to make sure everything was fine, they do everything with a smile. It's just impeccable.

I just wish the place was bigger as it's very popular for obvious reasons why every every table got filled up while we were there with people waiting to come in. If you have more than two people I'd say get a reservation, it's a must. This is now my new favorite restaurant I'm so glad we went there. Excellently managed and there's a big parking lot in that shopping center where it's located next to a market, and the freeway. And interestingly enough all the servers are men, and it works great.
If I could ask for one thing they could include in their menu it would be for something like a filet of sole with a wine and garlic sauce. They do have a salmon dish but I don't eat salmon. But I did taste everything we ordered and all of it was delicious.

We returned a week later, last night, and tried some other dishes. The salmon was very good, comes with fresh cooked vegies and pasta. The chicken and orzo soup is the best chicken soup I have had in any restaurant in my entire life, and I am very picky and this one is like what I make at home. I have never praised another chicken soup. The butterscotch budino dessert is delicious. The service is still excellent, Seth was our server who went above and beyond always with a real smile, warmth, eager to help. When we left there were many people waiting to get in. If you have to wait or you get cold easily, bring a warm jacket or sweater. It is worth waiting for.

MA'S Italian Kitchen

Ma's Italian kitchen. Well, what can I say about this jewel of Italian eatery? We came across it by accident. We were hungry and kind of unfamiliar with the area. And there it was. On Yelp, after searching for something to eat. Ma's Italian kitchen. When we got there. ( My spouse and I). We were greeted very friendly and ( since we asked if they had outside seating) led outside to a nice tent area. A couple of tables with white tablecloths as far as I can recall. It was a while ago. And a few folks sitting outside already. It seemed cozy and comfortable. The waiter, unfortunately, can't recall his name. A very nice, friendly, and attentive guy came shortly after we sat down. Gave us the menus and told us about the specials. Asked us if this was our first time there. Which it was. And asked us what we liked to drink. After some time he came back and we ordered our food. My spouse had vegan lasagna ( my spouse was in awe of how many nice vegan dishes they had). Some side salad. I had a dish of Paste bolognese with salad. We also received some nice warm breads. The dishes truly were OUT OF THIS WORLD! I seriously can say this was by far the best bolognese I had so far from any Italian restaurant! My spouse is a bit hard to lease. Just loved his lasagna. That alone made me thank the mighty food gods out there. LOL But what really stood out and will make us come back, again? Besides the great food, the great service. Was, at the end when we asked for the check. The waiter brought their signature dessert Tiramisu in a glass ( this was the first time for me ever since I came to this country. And I so appreciated it. Because it reminded me of Europe.) It was also topped with a fresh unsweetened whipped cream. This fresh taste is on top. It was so delicious. That dessert certainly is a must-have in the great place. Long story " short" ( LOL) go and try out this place. You will NOT regret it!

This was the best/most authentic Italian food experience I've had in LA. We got a couple pasta dishes and a pizza and they were all great. Place is really small, so reservations are key, but we got to sit on the patio and it was a beautiful day, so being outside was perfect. The water the patio is covered and lined with greenery, you would have no idea you were looking at a supermarket parking lot. Will 100% be back.

The entrance is a little awkward, but the food and service definitely make up for it! Our waiter was Bob. He checked on us at good times and all of his recommendations were on point. The food tasted so fresh and it was... refreshingly different. It was our first time there and we'll definitely be coming again.
