• Italian • Manhattan Beach

Booked 29 times today

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.

The staff at is amazing—A+ all the way. They’re super accommodating, friendly, and make you feel well taken care of. We had the wagyu Bolognese, and it was incredible. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was rich and flavorful, with the wagyu beef adding an extra level of indulgence. The crab salad was fresh and light, with the perfect balance of citrus and herbs to bring out the natural sweetness of the crab. For the main course, we shared the Large Seabass with Tomatoes, Capers, and Potatoes, and it was outstanding. The fish was flaky and tender, with a crispy skin, and the tomatoes and capers added a nice tangy touch. The potatoes tied it all together with a comforting, hearty feel. I can’t leave out the oysters—they were so fresh and briny, easily some of the best I’ve had. And the lobster pasta? Hands down one of my favorites. The lobster was juicy and generous, and the creamy sauce made every bite heavenly. This is now one of my go-to spots. The food, the service, the whole experience—it’s all excellent. Highly recommend!
