Tramonto Bistro Malibu 22235 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA 90265

"We visited while staying in Malibu. It was super easy to get a table on a Friday night and the food and service were fantastic. The staff were so attentive and made sure you had everything you needed. It felt like a formal dining experience but in a laid back atmosphere. The food was also incredible! I recommend the calamari and the Bianca pizza. Limited parking and small space, but nice patio seating though I imagine it gets pretty loud since the patio is right next to the road."

"The truffle Alba pasta was the best I’ve ever had, probably worth the price if you’re sharing. The pizzas and Caesar salad were quite average though. They have parking at the back that gets full so worth checking beforehand."

"We went to celebrate a milestone birthday. The location was easy to find (look for the blue awning). There is parking on the side of the restaurant. We were lucky to get a spot. By the time we left, the lot was full. I got the bolognese, the others got the lasagna, the spaghetti con gamberi fra diavola, and the fusilli del tramonto. Three out of four of us loved our food. The fusilli was the plate that was not that great. The sauce was greasy and had separated, almost like it had been reheated. The chicken was chewy and tasted a bit off. As I mentioned, the other three plates were great. The meat sauce on the lasagna and bolognese was delicious. These two plates were the hands down winners of the night - I added the pictures for these two. The service was a bit slow and we had to ask for refills on water and two tables that came in after us received bread before us. Still, overall it was a good experience. One warning.... if you sit on the patio, it is loud from the traffic and you will be breathing in all of the fumes and the smoke from everybody who is smoking cigarettes and marijuana as they pass by. We must have had at least 4 people smoking weed while walking by on the sidewalk."

"Just by chance the family and I were looking for somewhere to have lunch along the Pacific highway. Well not know anything about this place we took a chance. I tell you we won the jackpot here as the food was amazing! We had shrimp and lobster, a margarita pizza and puree carrot soup. Food was top notch all around. We ate in the enclose patio. It wasnt busy at all. Talk about timing. It was just great experience being just a stone throw away from the Ocean. What a great lunch afternoon! Service was amazing too."
