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 had delicious, perfectly cooked rib eye and filet mignon. Generous and fresh salads with tasty dressings. Excellent service from beginning to end. The Campfire Feast is a great deal for the price. We will be back for more !

Food was terrific. Tomahawk steak outstanding, as was sea bass. Side dishes excellent as well. Only gripe was with service. Restaurant was not at all crowded, and while we (three diners) were seated immediately, our waiter appeared for about 20 seconds to greet us, but then inexplicably disappeared for 22 minutes. Episodic appearances continued, which was annoying, although he was a nice guy and actually a good waiter when he did appear. This resulted in most food being brought at slightly sub-optimal serving temps, which is a problem when one is spending $100 per plate. Other than that, this wasn't that big a deal, and we had a lovely time.
