Tra di Noi

This place is a must-visit! The pizza was simply amazing – crispy, fresh, and perfectly topped. And the pasta was pure perfection, cooked just right with incredible flavors. The only tiny hiccup was the Aperol Spritz, which tasted quite different from the traditional Italian ones we've had. But honestly, it was a minor detail in an otherwise superb meal. The staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience delightful.

We went here craving some Italian food after a few hours on Malibu beach. Service was good, it had a nice atmosphere, and the food was delicious. We got the pomodore spaghetti and prosciutto pizza. They took a while to bring out, and the portions were extremely small for the price, but we cannot deny they tasted delicious. Don’t confuse this restaurant with the express take out which was about $20 cheaper. The express closes at 4pm. We wanted some cheap Italian food but got a table and was forced to spend $40+ each on food. We would still recommend the place for the delicious food, but be mindful of the prices and what time it is.

mediocre food and service. Lasagna is not heated well, somebites are still cold. pepperoni are too greasy. Here comes the best part. They sent me a complemetary tiramisu but didnt check with my dietry restrictions (no raw eggs and alcohol...) fortunetly other guests can share it but hey... I wish the service is better than this.

Beautiful outdoor patio. Unfortunately, there's a kids' park right in front of it, so that can get annoying at times. The tuna tartar was delicious. A bit on the creamy side with a vinegar tang mixed w tomatoes and cucumber, very refreshing, and I liked how theirs is totally different than others I've had. My friend got the linguine w clams. Fresh clams in a light wine sauce. She really enjoyed it. I got the vegetable risotto w chicken added to it. They add as much grated cheese as you'd like tableside, so mine had 3 scoops. I did find the dish bland, so I did add s/p a few times. Very hands-on service. A must if you're in the area

This is a great spot for delicious affordable Italian food and wine. The service is fast and friendly. The food is great. Wine menu is decent. Seating is great indoor or outdoor.

It’s a cozy restaurant. They are really kind and we had a fast service. The food was amazing. If you go please try the Fusili Del Posto. So nice. Seems like home food. 🤗

Meh. Nothing special. Food is meh. Lasagna was premade and a s heated under a broiler and the cheese on top was toasted. Flavor was a meh. Tuna tar-tar looked good, but I couldn't taste the tuna, only the avocado and cilantro. Service was okay, bit nothing outstanding. Inside got loud, but this had to do with the loud parties on both sides of us. Probably will not go back.

Wonderful, one year I live in USA and this is the first time I really enjoy a pizza ! Wonderful if you are used of European's pizza. Real prosciutto, real tomato sauce 👌and you can have some real bread ! The waiter is very aware of you too, very nice welcoming ! Thanks for all

As usual we had a really great time and food! Pasta and Pizza are the best in the area I would definitely recommend and spend more time going there

Food and service was great. BUT, I've been up since 02:30 am taking care of my teenage kids (and I) from Throwing up and using the toilet. I called the rest. To leave them the information but their line states to leave an access code, so I'm reaching out to them through here. We had the Zuppa di Pesce, Fussili, Carbonara, chicken, and a few sweets.

It was easy to see it, but the food wasn't that good I didn't like the pizza but we ordered garlic bread. We loved it.

Family dinner for Father's Day. We were a group of 5 and we all had very mediocre dishes. Very disappointed with the food especially because we ordered the most expensive items on the menu. Such a shame for an area that has few options for fine dining.

So my family and I bought food at this places Togo counter. My daughter and I were waiting at there outdoor patio section for my husband to bring us our food. There was a waiter who ushered us away saying it was for dining only. We said there was a sign saying that outdoor seating was allowed for all guest regardless of paying for food or not. WE BOUGHT FOOD FROM THIS RESTAURANT THAT REFUSED TO ALLOW US TO EAT ON THERE PATIO. WTF. I ASKED THE OWNER WHY AND HE SAID BECAUSE HE SAID SO. LOL don't eat here trashy owner and trashy restaurant food mediocre at best. Amecis is superior to this place if you catch my drift people.....lol

The server Louigie(not his real name, his accent is not of Italian origin although he pretends to be Italian) turned out to be arrogant and self centered with no manners. He hits on your wife in front of your eyes, he never introduces himself as your server or give you his name, but repeatedly inquiries about the name of the female at your table. he also made us uncomfortable forcing us to write a good review because they get a lot of bad reviews for service!! no wonder this guy is a liability for this resturant. food was ok, although the price for side salad was $22 the hostess was very nice and polite, she even greeted the customers as they left the restaurant. I give restaurant 1 star for the waiter louigie, 3 star for food and 5 star for the hostess.

I recently had a nice dining experience at Tra Di Noi. Unfortunately, the seating options for two were a bit limited ,but the food and service were great. We even got to create our own pasta, and the calamari was absolutely delicious.

My family was visiting from hawai'i and we decided to go site seeing in Malibu. Afterwards we decided to eat at lucky's (crossed the street after this place) but unfortunately they didn't take walk in's and we were in the waiting list. We made a decision to leave lucky's, and walk over to this place. Less than 15 minutes we were seated. The waiter so friendly! Let me tell you about the food! It was so deliciously tasty. My whole family finished our plate, we never eat the whole plate, no leftovers from this place! I definitely recommend the place if visiting Malibu! Will come again if in town :)

I have passed by this place many times over the years but never tried it until today. We were having an outing with my tourist cousins and stopped by Malibu Village to eat at the Malibu Kitchen only to find out that they are out of business. I decided we eat at Tra di Noi. We were seated within a few minutes. We asked for tap water and it tasted horrible. Just horrible chlorine water. The fusilli pasta with chicken was way too salty for me but the pizzas we got were good. We ordered a bread of basket that comes with olive tapenade and loved it. I have mixed feelings about this place, did I like it or not? Will I come back or not? Was it worth the $$?The place is a bit old and unappealing, the spot we were seating had a sewer smell from time to time and it's located next to a playground. I did see that they have a to go food window on the side , with a menu that offers sandwiches, pizza, pasta and salads. I might try that next time and update my review. The sandwiches looked good on their Yelp page. You can easily grab food to go and sit at one of the picnic tables nearby and enjoy without paying extra 22% gratuity that gets added to your bill. That's what happened to us (party of 5) it was already included when the waiter brought the check.

always e x c e l l e n t! Delicious food, great service and terrific patio. One can't ask for more.

The first thing to consider is that they are lying on this app, advertising prices well below the ones shown in this subpar eatery's menu. I'd consider our waiter to be on par with a used car salesman. He offered water and bread, without informing of its appalling fee. In my opinion, mediocre bread and tap water should not be served without the waiter/waitress clearly telling the guests whether it is complimentary or will be charged for it (2 bottles of water = $24; tiny bread basket = $6). They refilled our water without asking, also offering desert. When questioned if the desert was included in the meal, the waiter simply disregarded it and went on with his presentation of overpriced pre school worthy snacks. The worst part of my experience was the disingenuous, slimy behavior of the waiters, adding 20% gratuity AND still asking for a tip, and then saying they were not able to separate checks even though they took 5 of the groups cards to boost their own personal income. If you are looking to throw away $50 on some water and an unappetizing carbonara that I could make better at my own residence, look no farther than this abomination of a "restaurant."

Been here so many times at this point and every time is an absolute pleasure the food is amazing (they make their own pasta) the patio is a dream (my kids play on playground as soon as they finish eating and I can keep and eye on them and relax) the staff is great and don't mind when I show up w 4 kids and make a mess. I get a vegan primavera off menu it's awesome and the beet salad is my all time fave. You can bring your own wine also which is nice though they actually have an exceptional wine list but sometimes I like to bring a special bottle or my Avaline!

I love the tranquility of sitting outside the service greeted me immediately and I couldn't wait to order the fettuccine with chicken I understand this place is a little further up Scale in price but it's worth every penny of it the seating is perfectly fenced off with glass windows but channels are nice breeze that gently cools you while you sit sipping whatever apéritif and enjoying the wonderful bread that is accompanied with a fantastic in-house spread. The fettuccine has larger noodles and you'll be used to put the texture of the creamy wonderful sauce and the chicken fried so perfectly I blended pepper to give it the perfect aftertaste I literally would've eaten 20 pounds of this if I could but this is my special place to come every so often it is a Christmas and birthday gift to myself!

Came here during a weekend in Malibu and the food was just OK. It was not cheap and the food was just nothing very special.

They do not inform their customers that water and bread is not complementary. Food is also mediocre. Gratuity was also outrageous and still asks for tip afterwards.

They do not inform their customers that water is 12 dollars. They also do not inform that the bread they offer is also money and not complementary. The food is also below standard and not the best. You would be better off eating at the chipotle across the street. The gratuity was also a joke and they still demanded a tip afterwards. Also the fact that we were the only people in the restaurant at the time would make it seem like the waiters would be more attentive, this was not the case, there were about 8 waiters standing around not checking in with us. Will not be dining here again, I could probably buy 30 chipotle burritos for the amount I had to pay in water and gratuity.

Sooo My husband and I decided take our daughter to this restaurant because the ambiance is so nice and quaint. The first time we went there the food was great! My husband had a steak and I had pasta with shrimp. We are from Texas and my husband has projects to do in California. My daughter is in the music business so we've been spending a lot of time in LA and Malibu. We thought let's take her to this fabulously delicious restaurant. Well, she and my husband ordered the pasta with shrimp and lobster and I ordered pasta with seafood (clams, scallops and shrimp). My husband and daughters food was awesome!! Mine? Not so good. The scallops had a rancid, old taste. Tasted like soap and metal and made my pasta taste that way as well. I told the waiter about it and I don't know if it was the manager or owner that came and spoke to me but he suggested that I not put Parmesan cheese on seafood because the parmesan cheese is strong and makes the seafood tasted different. REALLY???!! I proceeded to tell him that no the scallops are bad because I know what they are suppose to taste like. I am a cook and always put parmesan cheese on my seafood and I always cook fresh scallops of the highest quality but he would not hear it. He did take the dish off of my ticket which was nice but I just wanted to say "Do I have the word "STUPID" on my forehead???" My husband left there really bothered because the manager/owner was so extremely condescending. He acted as if I had never eaten italian food (I make fresh pasta) and make my sauces with fresh and some imported from Italy ingredients. Anyway I don't know if I'll go back which is sad because I thought it was going to be one of my favorite restaurants in Malibu,

refused to accept a gift card from their restaurant given to me by my daughter ($100) said it was owner's policy (because i did not also have the register receipt from the purchase of the gift card). what?! we were a table of six, our tab was pretty big i told them it was probably illegal to refuse the card. good food, good service, but so what? lots of other restaurants to go to. this place used to have class, have some style, but now it's just another expensive restaurant. never again

Found this place by accident as we were exploring Malibu. Menu had a nice variety so we decided to give it a go. Sat outside on the umbrella covered patio. Very nice. Ordered caprese, lasagna, margherita pizza and bread. The server has been great. Had to ask for water refills which is not a big deal. Food was amazing. Sounds as though a lot of regulars eat here which is always a clue that it's good food. Some of the best Italian we have had in a while. Well done!! We'll be back!!

It breaks my heart to give Tra di Noi a one-star, as I thought it was a nice and swanky place to dine out at Malibu Village. However, my experience yesterday was a major letdown. I first noticed this restaurant last year when I took my Dad to Malibu Village for his birthday. We did not dine there but just passed the place on the way to the parking lot behind the building. Fast-forward to yesterday, 4/22/23, my boyfriend and I made a reservation to dine at Tra di Noi to celebrate our first-year anniversary. Seating us was no problem; the hostess was nice and prompt. It was not until our waiter finally came to serve us and the following happened: 1. My boyfriend's napkin fell on the ground, and the waiter picked it up and gave it to him. The napkin became unsanitary after it fell on the ground, and remember that it is also used to wipe our mouths. The waiter should have provided my boyfriend with a new and clean napkin. 2. Our waiter specifically asked us, "Would you like some bread?" We said "yes" right away, thinking their bread was complimentary as with other restaurants like Cheesecake Factory or Vincenzo's Italian restaurant in West Covina. We did not realize that the bread basket was not complimentary until we received our bill. They charged us $6 for the bread basket. The charge took us aback. I verified this with our waiter. He said the bread basket used to be free, but then they started charging customers. Putting a price on the bread was not an issue; I wish they were more honest about it. I'd hate to educate workers on how to communicate better because management must train their workers properly. But if I ever have to teach them to improve their communication skills, I would have suggested that the waiter say: "Would you like to add bread to your order for $6?" It would then be clearer to us that the bread is not complimentary, and we would have been given the choice to order it or not. 3. We waited for our orders for about 30 minutes. Our waiter did not check to see how we were doing or give us updates on the status of our orders. We also noticed that the pair who came sometime after us were served their food first. It was very disappointing. Please consider my points above as continuous improvement for your staff. We understand that you may be struggling. However, seeing a restaurant such as Tra di Noi seem classy and swanky on the surface, but quite the opposite on the inside is very sad. I will not say anything about the food and the price, as with other Yelp reviewers, because the food was good, in our opinion, and it is no secret that prices have gone up across the board. Respectfully.

One of our fav places in Malibu, went back the next day again! Great food & service. We had two great wines as well. Carpaccio and panne cotta my favs.

Tra di Noi is definitely a restaurant I will be coming back too! I'm from out of town and was looking for a nice restaurant to enjoy dinner with my husband while we visited some friends. The staff is friendly and inviting. The service was incredible. My husband and I had an amazing time. We ordered appetizers, the most delicious seafood pasta, and tiramisu for dessert. I look forward to coming back here.

Amazing restaurant, the pasta and dessert is amazing. Luis is an amazing server! The staff is so friendly and great. Can't recommend it high enough!

Rude, indignant, abrupt, unsympathetic, must be new management! We will not go back there again. We have always had a great experience all around. NOT TODAY... waiter was just nasty. walked out after dropping $40. for our water on the table.

Super polite waiters, and the food was great. Would not hesitate to bring friends and family to this restaurant!

I was looking for a restaurant to enjoy a nice dinner and decided to try Tra Di Noi. They did not disappoint. The food was unbelievably delicious. Everything tasted so good I can't wait to go back. Their lasagna is probably my new favorite lasagna. Such a perfect spot for a dinner in Malibu.

Charged us 24 dollars for water without telling us as well as adding an absurd gratuity tax.

The last time I was here was probably 5-6 years ago and I remembered it being delicious -- it did not disappoint! The bread assortment was good, not great, but still quite good. We also ordered the arugula salad with Parmesan and artichokes, eggplant parm appetizer, prosciutto pizza as an app, lasagna, and orecchiette with shaved truffles. Out of everything we ordered our favorites by far were the arugula salad and truffle pasta. The salad seems simple, but it is the perfect blend of acidity, salt, and fat from the parm. The pasta was delicious. It contains peas, which is an extremely underused vegetable. They were fresh and delicious. The truffle was shaved table-side. Overall, the dish was divine. The eggplant parm appetizer was honestly just okay. I would skip it next time. The pizza was very good. The ratio of the arugula, prosciutto, and mozzarella was perfect. The lasagna was delicious as well. I think Italian restaurants sometimes have the tendency to just slap a point of lasagna on your plate when you order the dish, but that wasn't the case here. Overall, the service was quite good as well. Nothing super exceptional on the hospitality front. We will definitely be back to try some other menu items and to enjoy more of the arugula salad and truffle pasta.

I love this gem in Malibu Country Mart. Loved this place when I lived in Malibu in 2004 and still holds true in 2021. I guess you could say it's always been "covid friendly" b/c they offer plenty of outdoor seating with heat lamps and now socially distanced as well. The servers are friendly and welcoming. If you like fresh made pastas you can't go wrong. My friend and I both decided to get the Ravioli Rosa - housemade pasta stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese, blanketed in a beautiful pink sauce. To. Die. For! The side dishes all sounded good and there were so many to choose from. We opted for the rapini which was simple yet cooked and seasoned to perfection - olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. The bitterness of the greens paired nicely with the ravioli. We also started with a salad of shaved artichokes and arugula tossed with a lemon dressing. Oh and they bring warm bread/rolls to the table with a little olive spread to start. Wow. Just writing this is getting me excited. I can still taste that meal. It was actually such a fantastic meal that 2 days later I took another friend here and we ordered the same exact meal. She fell in love too. Both times the service was excellent and we didn't have to wait very long for a table. We went for lunch on a Friday and a Sunday.

The Tra Di Noi pickup window is a must for an amazing lunch in Malibu. Pizza, pasta, amazing sandwiches, ready in 15 minutes or less. Sit in the courtyard and enjoy. The service was so lovely, you can tell they run a full service restaurant just adjacent to the pickup window.

We wanted to check this place out for lunch because they have a cute outside area and the kids wanted pizzas. They had about 8-10 tables available outside but when we approached the hostess she said they're all reserved and they only had availability inside. I reconfirmed because it looked like they had more than enough tables, but she said they're all reserved. While we were trying to figure out if we want to seat inside or go somewhere else 2 older ladies came by and asked for an outdoor table, another gentleman apparently the manager sat them outside telling them they would have an hour to eat as they had 6:30 reservation for this table. We left and we definitely won't be coming back. We could have easily eaten and left in 30-45 minutes. Sorry but that kids of service pushes away potential clients.

1st time here and the Malibu Country-mart, we walked up and told the hostess that we have 4 adults and 4 kids. Manager walked over and said flat out sorry we can not accommodate you. really? Plenty of tables, after reading the reviews we were discriminated because we had children.

On the way home we stopped at Terrible's in Barstow for gas. They sell pizza in the shop there and I guarantee you, without having tried it, it is better than what I had here. Lucky's was strongly recommended to us but, for reasons we still can't quite understand, we came here. Don't make the same mistake.

Food, service and atmosphere all amazing. Situated in Malibu I have been there a couple of times and always 100% a AI even and beating consistent. The Carbonara and the Pizza are my go to selections!

I have mixed feelings about eating here. Food is good but pricey (not always worth it). They serve decent wine, and usually you'll get good service but it's not consistent. It's a nice spot for families or a date night. The best-kept secret is the lunch kiosk/side window by the parking lot. Best soup of the day, made fresh daily. The pasta options are great, same quality for a fraction of the cost. The people who work there are so sweet and always have a smile on their face. Also, hot tip-- the truffle pizza. It's not on the menu and it's not cheap but it's so worth it.

My favorite restaurant in Malibu!!! The food is delicious, the staff is amazing, and the atmosphere is romantic and warm. It's right next to shopping and the beach, so it's the perfect stop for lunch or dinner. I always get the Ravioli Rosa or Salmon, but everything is delicious. Their desserts are amazing too. I recommend to anyone!

Great food, excellent service, and we're in Malibu...what more could we ask for? Highly recommended

The best pizza and pasta. The only thing I wish they could deliver through Uber Eats or Postmates. The restaurant is very cute located in a shopping mall area.

Nothing better for a family Sunday lunch. Kids played at the playground, we dined on amazing food and wine. Live music. Nothing better! Coming back very soon

Food - average Service - average Ambiance - average Prices- high Wine- very high Understand it is touristy but prices are too high.

The food and ambience have been the best of Malibu for 30 years. Everyone is always friendly. Lunch window service food is great too.

They have the best salads, and the pizza is to die for! We do to make your own pizza with sausage, mushrooms and lots of cheese. It is delicious! Next time we order takeout, I will try one of the pasta dishes they all look so wonderful.

A bit pricey ($220 for 7 people), but the good was generally high quality. Heads up that for parties 6 and up, a 20% gratuity is automatically charged. Pastas we're consistently good (except for the vongole). Pizza was great too! -- FOOD -- Gnocchi Al Ragu ' Di Vitello - 8/10. The sauce was delicious and gnocchi was cooked okay. I wish there were veggies to break up the sauce Fusilli Molisani - 7/10. Packed flavor but this is a good healthy option. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente though Linguine Vongole Con Bottarga - 3/10. Barely any flavor other than salt from the clams. Disappointing Special - Black Fettuccine with lobster and shrimp - 10/10. Delicious! Amazing al dente pasta and yummy, creamy seafood flavors Ravioli Rosa - 9/10. Portion could've been bigger but sauce was delicious. Ravioli's spinach and ricotta cheese filling was soooo good Americana Pizza - 9/10. I wish there was more cheese but the meats were yummy

I got the Fettuccine with lobster abs rock shrimp it was great. I wish it had a cream sauce but it was still yummy Ambulances beautiful when you sit on the patio you can look at all the trees are lit up there are also heat lamp so I'm nice and war Quick review just for you

NO! Tourist trap, uninformed locals that don't know any better come here. You might think you're getting a classy Italian experience, but you're not. Parking: probably the only good thing about this place during dinner time with several people is that we were all able to find a parking spot. Front Desk: we showed up early, and asked if our reservation was ready. The Owner (from Rome) had no clue who we were, couldn't find it under the last name. Quite frankly, he had that arrogant, nose in the air type vibe, like we were all peasants trying to eat at his Kingly Palace or something. And he treated us like that too! On the way to the front desk, yes it is confusing to figure out where that is and how to get to it, we asked the owner if he makes the pasta with Squid Ink. Because there's a "black and white" pasta we saw passing through the maze of tables. The owner had no clue, and didn't know how the black pasta was made "black." And he was Rude about it! For Heaven's Sake, you are the owner. You should know these things. Tightly packed, we ended up deciding to wait outside. WTF, there's no Bar!? Beer and wine only. They've been open for three years. You would think in that amount of time they would get a liquor license to be able to do mixed drinks. There's also no actual "bar" to sit at. So if you're waiting for a table, you're kind of stuck outside in the cold, Malibu wind. After about 10 minutes, the rest of our party showed up, and we found a younger woman there at the front desk this time.. Friendly, bubbly, Thank God! She said, "oh yes, right this way." At least she knew what was going on. Service: Terrible. The bread came late, by 20 minutes, and we asked TWICE. When we first walked in around 6pm, the place was packed. As tables were clearing, we didn't receive any better service. We saw "waiters," we think, putting away empty tables, instead of providing more service to the people at the tables that were still there. And there were like a dozen of these guys running all around like a beehive. Makes no sense. Food: lousy honestly. Some dishes looked pretty on the plate though... if you're here to take Instagram photos??? The taste of the tomato-based pastas was too sour. They say that the pasta is made in house. But really hard to tell. Fresh, homemade pasta, has that springiness to it. This stuff was maybe made off-site by a big restaurant supplier, and then delivered. The veal scallopini was drowned in sauce, like a soup, and too much lemon. Arugula salad, NO dressing. I think all they did was spritz it with a little lemon. But there was no salt, no pepper, nothing. It's like they took arugula out of the package, and threw it on the plate, put some cheese slices on top, and served it to you The steak.. $35+, and all you get is 2 measly strips (6oz). Flavorless. Bland, didn't have any savory taste, nothing. And they give you cubed, fried potatoes on the side that didn't have any flavor at all. Hello, use a little salt? Fried Calamari, looked good in the basket, not enough of them, was like rubber though. Tiramisu dessert: no joke, this was the one in the glass cups that they sell at Costco.. $9 for 6 of them. Same exact thing, they just added a cookie on top, and charged $15 EACH. Are you serious? They didn't make it themselves? I would never go back to this place. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know.

Tra di Noi has the best gluten free pizza crust in the Los Angeles area--maybe the world. It has the right amount of sweet and crunch to go with all of their authentic toppings. Leave your restraint at home and get one of these delights. The prosciutto is the best I've had mixing salt-sweet and pepper. We are also huge fans of the pasta bolognese and the rugala y carciofi . The servers have been there forever and the restaurant runs like a well oiled machine. All without the weight of gluten if you so desire. Mangia Bene!

One star is even too much for this downright-the-worst-place! If you want to get ripped off, eat the worst food ever and be treated by rude servers, go to Tra De Noi! The food is bad. I mean really bad. It's previously made, put in the freezer and poorly thawed in the microwave. Ironically, for the absolute low quality of food you're getting, you're also getting rude treatments by the servers who act very entitled. The ambiance is not the best either. It's either 65 and up or families with small children because it's right by the playground where there are plenty of dog poop. I will never ever go back to this place!

I hosted a large family dinner. The manager provided us with a wonderful patio table located so we could see my grandchildren playing in the park. The service was outstanding. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We had an absolutely delightful evening. Thank you so much Tra de Noi! I will definitely be back.

Delicious, quaint restaurant inside the mall. Food was delicious and service was really good.

One of my favorite Italian spots in Malibu. Love the fact that the outside is near the grassy area of the country mart. Perfect for when the weather is great...which is always. Get the sangria. And, the pizza for sure. Their bread is also delicious. You won't be able to stop.
