Want a place that makes you feel welcome every time you arrive, a place that has reliably delicious food at a good value.? Sara's is the place. Great wine list and specials as well. The polenta is outstanding.

Love their pasta and order delivery often but had a babysitter last weekend so we got to go to the actual space for the first time. Very lively and cozy and friendly - the staff and clientele alike. We've yet to encounter a dish we haven't loved. The papperdelle and bucatini are my favorites, and our family enjoyed the mushroom fettuccine and lamb gnocchi. The shrimp diavola and the meatballs make excellent sides/starters. All of the desserts are fantastic - pannacotta is a huge hit, tiramisu is on point and Nutella bites are a pretty unique snack-size dessert.

Ambiance - music wasn't playing that night for some reason. It's a small intimate space. Can get a little rowdy. Good lighting and decor though! Service - great service. Host was very welcoming and so were the servers. You can tell they're very proud of this place. Food - pizza was amazing!!! I thought the cacio e Pepe could've been a little more creamier but it was still super good.

I love sara's. I've been following them since Playa Del Rey. The food is good and you can always find a good wine on the menu.

We had Bruschetta, house wine, Ravioli Ricotta Spinach, Fettuccine Mushroom and topped it off with Pannacotta Caramello. YUMMMMMMMMMM! Everything was absolutely delicious! And the atmosphere was so pleasant and relaxing! The service was prompt and friendly, but unobtrusive! And we were pleasantly surprised by the price! We were only here on vacation, but if we lived in the area, this would be a regular place for us! We highly recommend checking out Sara the Wine Bar!

The food and wine are amazing, Sara is absolutely wonderful and the ambiance is charming. Authentic Italian food. Highly recommend. I love everything on the menu but my favorites are the Avocado Bruschetta and/or the Crostini Burrata for starters, and either the Bucatini Amatriciana pasta or the Pizza Prosciutto as a main dish. The pancetta and subtle spice in the Bucatini Amatriciana are the highlights of the dish.

Came here for the first time and I was very impressed with the quality of the food, delicious wine and service. It helped that I had amazing company and I would recommend this place to everyone. They have a great happy hour and delicious desserts too.Parking: Parking can be a little scarce for how busy this place gets but if you have to park on the street and walk a little bit, it’s well worth it.

First time for me and another friend. The 3 of us like to share and I must say everything we ordered was absolutely wonderful. Definitely a keeper.

I found this little place on Yelp, and it surely did not disappoint. Upon arrival there was a wait list and the place was crowded. I found two seats at the bar and the bartender was awesome. He allowed me to try multiple wines and made some great suggestions! The shrimp pasta was fire, I finished the entire bowl quickly! The parking was not so great.., small parking lot shared by an apartment building. The place is loud and bustling, so if you're looking for quiet and private this isn't it. The crowd is diverse and appropriate for a wine bar.

Great from start to finish. Sara has to be one of the most gracious owners I've come across in a really long time. My friend and I popped in last night ~ without reservations ~ at 6:15. The place was hopping! Loved the lighting (dim) and the interior design down to each meticulous detail that have an obvious, personal, warm touch that is Sara herself.We ordered our meals to compliment our dry white wine which was eye popping good. The goat cheese and prosciutto on homemade bread drizzled with balsamic was a light, great start. I ordered the shrimp risotto which was made fresh to order. So worth a few minutes delay, which Sara told me in advance. My friend asked Sara to surprise her and was not disappointed.Overall a truly wonderful experience from this, almost inconspicuous little spot I've had my eye on for several years. For the price, the ambiance, and above all, quality of the meal, outatanding! I will definitely be back.

Honestly one of the most delicious restaurants I've tried in LA. The food was EXCELLENT (I had the goat cheese and focaccia appetizers, the bolognese pappardelle for my main and the strawberry pannacotta for dessert) and with a glass of house red you can't go wrong. The service was excellent, it felt like being served by family or friends and I trusted everything being recommended to me. The restaurant itself is small, but not suffocating. It just felt like I was in someone's home having a meal. I can't wait to go back again and bring anyone who visits me in LA here.

This place would be perfect... if it was just one dollar sign less for the quality of service and food provided

Oh my goodness YES! This perfectly comfortable cozy little stop in the middle of Sepulveda is just what we need. They have all the best flavors + offerings of wines and foods. I loved the shrimp & polenta; my guy devoured the lasagne. Stefan at the bar is a treat, as is the host/owner. We kinda needed a reservation but they somehow found us seats (at the bar) and we couldn't have been happier. Come here when you're not in a rush. You won't want to leave.
