Sara The Wine Bar & Restaurant

An outstanding local place for top notch Italian food that isn't too expensive, hitting far above it's weight class. The Mel Formaggio salad was perfectly balanced between the tartness of the dressing, sweetness of the apples, and creamy/earthiness of the blue cheese. The lamb gnocchi was delicious, and the gnocchi in particular were so light and fluffy. My date had the shrimp ravioli, shout out to the sauce there. And let's not forget about the wine, fantastic selection overall but the Pinot Noir and Cab Sav from Paso Robles were balanced, had body, fruitiness, and not too tannic. Friendly wait staff as well. Call for reservations. My only regret is not coming here sooner, can't wait to go back.

Friendly and welcoming staff. The menu is primarily Italian cuisine and quite delicious.

Sara The Wine Bar & Restaurant has been sitting quietly on Sepulveda Blvd for many years going back to when Culver City was a good place to get a smog check but fine dining, no way! I found myself working nearby and went for lunch one day. One of the best salads ever. Four years later and I know the owner and the staff. Now that they're open for dining inside again, my wife and I went for dinner recently and now that Google nudges me to write a review everywhere I go, I had to write about one of my favorite restaurants. The food is special as it tastes homemade with its own special qualities. Their salads are A+++. If you order a pasta with any of their sauces, ask for bread because you'll want to wipe the bowl clean. Best of all is the prices are better than reasonable. The wine selection is very good and again, prices are moderate. Go, eat, drink, and enjoy.

I had dinner here. Service is great, very attentive. Food is delicious everything is homemade, you can taste the fresh Ingredients.

Absolutely fabulous experience! This is a hidden gem. Stunning, delicious Itailan food.
