One of the Best Italian restaurants in the Area! Home Made Pastas are absolutely the best! I had the wild boar pasta, Ceasar said with anchovies! Yummy! Would highly recommend!

What an amazing experience!!! They treat you like family and the food is fantastic! Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent Italian food. The osso bucco with risotto is particularly delicious. We have had many family dinners here - the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food and wine are always wonderful. Friendly service always.

Such a charming environment! Incredible service, the food was PHENOMENAL and they were very accommodating for my gluten allergy. The branzino and pasta were too notch. Couldn’t recommend more 🤌

Fantastic, like a little slice of Italy dropped into Malibu. Exceptional service, delicious cuisine. The veal osso buco was perfectly tender, and the Barolo wine was a divine pairing. Authentic and welcoming. Will be back.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at and I’ve been to Italy. The salads, pastas drinks were amazing. But the tiramisu is the best I’ve ever had. The service was spectacular. Micky was so kind and knowledgeable. He wasn’t lien when he said the tiramisu was world class. Also, the music was gorgeous! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars Gravina in Malibu is a true hidden gem — and Pino is the heart and soul of it all. The food is consistently delicious, with authentic Italian flavors that transport you straight to the coast of Amalfi. The pasta is always fresh, the wine selection is top-tier, and the ocean breeze just makes it even better. But what makes this place truly special is the warmth and care you feel the second you walk in — thanks to Pino. His passion for hospitality and genuine love for his guests shines through in every detail. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just stopping in for a quiet dinner, Pino makes you feel like family. Support local, support real, and treat yourself to a night at Gravina. You won’t regret it. 💯

Delightful Italian restaurant in Malibu. Our party of four included two teens, and we enjoyed pasta dishes and pizza. The service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Delicious family owned restaurant that is always worth the drive. The ravioli are the best I’ve had but the orecchiette is so so good it is always tough to decide what to get. The desserts are incredible too! The staff is attentive and charming. Nothing to complain about at this fantastic restaurant.

Fantastic food and service. Truly an Italian restaurant as the waiters spoke in Italian and listening to them added to the ambiance as well as lulled you into the meal, much like listening to the ocean. The food was spectacular. Every bite was such a pleasure. Beautiful experience all around and I would drive back to Malibu (I'm in another state) to dine here again.

The food was lovely but the best part of my dining experience was how attentive my server Nico was. Nico was fabulous and gave wonderful recommendations along with delightful parings. A solid dining experience heavily depends on the service provided. So I will definitely be returning to this location.

Came here for our 5 year anniversary/birthday dinner and WOW! We will be stopping by every time we are in Malibu. Fantastic service and the food was delicious and savory! Everything from the Wine, Appetizer, Entree to Dessert was tasteful. I wouldn’t take this restaurant off the table based on a bad review. Definitely go for your own experience. You will not be disappointed!

Okay this place is amazing! Great restaurant in the staff is beyond top notch! and the best part is the prices are very reasonable! We had the pleasure of having a wonderful bottle of wine that was recommended by our server and he said if we don't love it then we wouldn't have to pay for it. It was beyond wonderful! The bouquet filled the entire patio when we opened that bottle and even the people at the table next to us remarked at how amazing the wine smelled. My wife's dinner was fantastic! I had a wonderful true Italian style pizza. Oh and David Duchovny was having dinner there on the patio next to us. Kind of neat. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough!!!

I’ve driven by Gravina’s so many times, always telling myself I had to stop in—especially after hearing so many great things. I finally did, and I’m so glad I did. My great-uncle, Obaldo Tambellini, was from Lucca, and the moment I walked in, I felt his presence. It truly felt like being in Italy. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The mushroom pizza was extraordinary, and the crust was perfection. Pino’s energy and kindness were incredibly touching and very much appreciated. 100% recommend.

we had a reservation for 7:00 and the line was out the door until at LEAST 7:20 (all of which people with reservations.) do NOT come here for special occasions because they completely overbooked and RUINED valentines day.

My wife and I came here on a date by mistake. We originally were going to Pacific Cove but it was closed so we found this place nearby. We didn’t want to drive too far since we hadn’t eaten anything so we settled on Gravina. The waiters were decent. We ordered the sparkling water $8, Calamari, my wife had the pepperoni pizza, I had the Lobster Ravioli. From the beginning the ravioli tasted strange like if something was burnt or not cooked right. I should have said something but I thought that it was there way. The pizza was not as greasy and was good. Each flavor had a fresh taste. No complaints there except the price. $30 Fast forward we came home and I was awoken with a bad urge to throw up. The Ravioli gave me food poisoning. I haven’t been able to do anything. I had plans to work on my boat and now I’m bed ridden.

Prices were more than double advertised online. $30 for a SMALL pizza here is robbery. EXTREMELY overpriced and the food was awful, even for the advertised price online. Pizza did not seem freshly made and seemed frozen and reheated. The employees were clearly annoyed and seemed rushed, even though the restaurant was almost empty. No positive part of the experience, will not be returning.
