Tra di Noi

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.

We stumbled upon Tra Di Noi in Malibu completely by chance, and it turned out to be one of those rare discoveries that instantly lifts your mood. The location is beautiful: just as we arrived the sun came out, so we decided to sit outside, and the whole atmosphere felt relaxed yet refined, effortless in the best possible way. We didn’t even know the owner was Italian… but you can truly taste it in every detail of the food. The tuna tartare was absolutely outstanding, incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, elegant without being overdone. One of those dishes you wish would never end. And then came the tonnarelli with tomato sauce. Honestly, I don’t even remember the last time I had a pasta like this, not even in Italy. Pure flavor, total respect for real Italian cuisine, no unnecessary twists, no “Americanized” interpretation. Just quality ingredients, perfect execution, and real passion. That’s extremely rare. The service was warm and kind, attentive but never intrusive, totally in harmony with the place. A special mention goes to Alfonso and Edwin, who looked after us with warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Their service made the whole experience even more memorable, truly outstanding. In short: this isn’t just a restaurant where you eat well, it’s a place where you genuinely feel good. And that, to me, is priceless ⭐ When I think of Tra Di Noi, only one thought comes to mind: I’ll be back. Happily

Honestly the best place I’ve eaten in the Malibu Area in a while. If you’re craving a greatly cooked Italian meal with the most amazing service I highly recommend Tara di Noi. Luigi was wonderful. He made us feel right at home and was incredible elevating the entire experience. I’ll be come back here indefinitely.

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

Sometimes Malibu surprises you in the best way. I was in a rush for a business meeting, parked nearby, and needed something quick but good. That’s when I stumbled across Tra di Noi Express — and honestly, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The setup here is casual but stylish: outdoor seating under big green umbrellas, surrounded by trees and a light soundtrack that makes the whole patio feel relaxed. Even though I was short on time, the vibe instantly slowed me down a little — Malibu has that magic. I ordered the gnocchi with tomato sauce. They came out hot, steaming, and full of that homemade flavor you want when you grab Italian. For a fast-order spot, it’s impressive how fresh and satisfying the food feels. The portion was plenty for lunch, and at about $19, it matched Malibu pricing but didn’t feel over the top. Service was straightforward and quick, exactly what I needed in that moment. No fuss, no wait — just good food, good setting, and back on the move. If you’ve got time, it’s the kind of place where you could sit under the umbrellas with a glass of wine and let the afternoon pass slowly. But even for someone on the go, it works perfectly. 5 stars for convenience, taste, and that Malibu outdoor charm. I’ll be back when I actually have time to linger.

Love this place for a relaxing lunch in Malibu. We had the tuna tartare, the burrata salad, and the Caesar salad. All great!

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.

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.
