We stumbled across this restaurant while visiting the Malibu Country mart and absolutely loved the food. You can dine in or order takeout and enjoy the beautiful weather. There's a nearby playground if you have kids who need a break from the shopping. Definitely a good place to try if you are in the area.

Tra di Noi is a local favorite for good Italian food with a good wine list, interesting specials and you can sit inside or outside. Can be a date place, family place, group of friends and they have a separate room in the back. You can send the Kids to the playground and sit back and relax.

Food is now fantastic. A new chef who really has it together. 4 for dinner with just one wine and the tab 400. Considering the quality of the food not bad. However we split two salads between the four of us and had three pasta dishes and one salmon entree, no dessert. A bit pricey and super busy. So why... More

This restaurant is excellent as far as ambiance, atmosphere and star gazing. The food is very good, pricey but expected. Try to get a seat inside if you want that Tuscany feel. The chances you see someone famous dining here is pretty good. And for good reason. This restaurant is a hidden gem a definitely worth a try if you've... More

Tra di Noi has excellent food. Some items are pricey however the food and presentation were superb. The menu has many choices and the salads are fresh.

This place has a lovely atmosphere and great decor, but having read various very positive tripadvisor reviews I was a bit disappointed with the food. My husband's lasagne was ok but not much more than that. I had their beef carpaccio, this was ok but lacked flavour. Also - who puts raw mushroom on a beef carpaccio?? No restaurant I... More

Restaurant is half the size it used to be. Gone are the red leather booths, carpeting and attentive service. Only the prices remain the same - high. Noise level is deafing. Service is cursory at best. Had to send the first course back as it was inedible. Patio was full of people wanting to see stars. Not happening. I would... More

This intimate restaurant hand makes their pasta. It melts in your mouth. The veal dishes are great. There is outside seating and don't be surprised if you hear producers, writers and directors talking about their next project. Try the Arugula Salad. That's my favorite! Money wise it is $$$.

I didn't believe the other reviews that much, but yes, the restaurant is that good! As you can see from my previous reviews, we spent last Summer in Tuscany and honestly, the food at Tra Di Noi is even better than the "real thing". The braised short rib risotto is excellent, the gnocchi, the salad, I could eat and eat... More
