Italian restaurant on Main Street in Santa Monica for a birthday Party?

Question

Does anyone knows a good italian restaurant on Main Street in Santa Monica -Venice area for a birthday party of 10 /12 people with a patio kind of thing with a good atmosfere to have a good time

Answer 1

Piccolo Ristorante Italiano

La Vecchia

Via Veneto

Everyone's favorite, C&O

Answer 2

Via Vineto is tiny & very expensive.  

A good place is the C & O Trattoria on Washington (2 locations) the one by the beach is really nice & fun & great when it's warm, the other has a full bar & is a bit bigger.. but they don't sing "That's Amore" like the one on the beach.

Other than that ,there are no large italian restaurants on main st in SM.

Answer 3

Buca De Beppos.

it is inside, but it's really decorated and fun but a little loud. make sure to ask to be seated in the pope room.
