Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Came here for a birthday celebration. There was a bit of a wait but not terribly bad. The dining room was spacious and festive. Tables were spread out enough that did not feel crowded. Our service attendant was outstanding in customer service and very cheerful. She took our order with great patience since it was the first Italian place my guests had experienced. Food substitutes were not a problem and very accommodating. We ordered the seafood pasta which was liked by all, the squid ink risotto with scallops, a pepperoni pizza with pineapple (for the kids), and the pappardelle Bolognese. Food was well prepared and came out in a reasonable amount of time. This was an enjoyable experience that was very well priced.
INI Ristorante offers an excellent dining experience with five-star food that is truly memorable. The flavors are well-balanced and beautifully presented, with the salmon dish standing out as a must-try for its freshness and perfect preparation. The service is attentive, though there can be slight delays during peak times, earning it a solid four stars. The atmosphere is inviting and refined, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal, though there’s a little room for enhancement in ambiance. Overall, INI Ristorante is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy top-quality food in a pleasant setting.
My partner and I barely got out to eat. This place has surpassed many restaurants that we have tried. All their dishes are must-haves. We highly recommend supporting this business. Server was amazing, staff is very friendly, and the food is straight up FIRE!!! All their cocktails were so delicious and beautifully crafted with attention to detail. The next time I decide to eat out in LA/OC, I would choose this place as my #1 choice.

Shared a delicious fulfilling dinner with my girls for a little Christmas white elephant celebration. We ordered plenty of food. Started with shots of casa blanco and clase azul, followed by cocktails. I ordered the Passione Del Sole with clase azul instead of the mezcal. It was such a great decision. Not only does it look presentable, it was flavorful. The cabernet float made it unique. We started off the table with Calamari, followed by the Oven-Fried Puff Bread. I honestly would say scrap the calamari and get two breads. It was warm, soft, hint of sweetness, and the butter spread is something I'd come back for. We also had their popular raw starter of Beef Carpaccio. My main dish was the short rib gnocchi. The short rib was flavorful. Gnocchi wasn't too starchy. The dish overall was good, very buttery, but I'd probably skip it for the uni pasta next time. First bite of the uni had a burst of flavor compared to the gnocchi pasta. The other item I'd come back for and really enjoyed was the chocolate hazelnut cake. Two of my gfs are not chocolate lovers and they both loved it. We also ordered their popular honey corn cake. I think this is something I'd have to try again as I only bit into a tiny pc. It was good from that one bite, but as a chocolate lover, I stay loyal to my chocolates. Ambiance was nice. It was a busy Sunday night with a line when we got there. We had reservations, and only had a short wait. The staff was very kind. Our waiter was great and very engaging. Truly appreciated the energy. The place overall is very family-oriented and casual.
