Big celebration energy, without having to worry about DIYing the menu, where everyone’s sitting, or whether your aunt has had enough w**e yet. 😉 You can buy out Love & Salt for bridal brunches (like you see here!), rehearsal dinners, birthdays, showers, and all the other very good reasons to get everyone you love in one place.
And we’ll keep the receipts so you don’t have to. Swipe to the end for that moment when our team member Evan made the tickets from this full house fashun. 🤌

We’d lament with you that summer has come to a close, but we live in a beach town, sooooo. Who’s to say? Summer is a feeling. ☀️🌴⛱️

We don’t know who comes up with this stuff, but we admire them. Someone designated today and we gotta say we’re into it. No working, no cleaning, and certainly no cooking for you, Ma.
Eat out. Dine in with us! TGIF.

Bust out the checkered blanket one more time! We’re packing up summer’s last long lunch for you and yours, to go. Just place your order now (linked in our bio!), round up the crew, and stop by Love & Salt on the way to the beach, the park, or your own backyard. ❤️
It’s the last day you can *technically* wear white for the season, but we don’t recommend it. Our cuisine is Italian-inspired after all and we’d hate for a little red sauce to be the reason you break the dress code.
SMALL | $50 | Feeds 1–2
MEDIUM | $70 | Feeds 2–3
LARGE | $90 | Feeds 3–4
Pick up Sunday or Monday between 12 and 3.
𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬: A portion of the proceeds from every order will benefit Single Mom Project, which provides grants to hardworking, low-income parents to help them get on steadier financial footing.

It’s our not-so secret secret, and regulars know . . . . Even when you can’t see it, it’s there: Cacio e Pepe, one of the big 4 Roman pastas and one of Executive ’s personal favorites. He’s honed his recipe for years and you can experience a taste of Rome anytime right here on our little strip of Manhattan Beach.
Sometimes it’s on the menu, sometimes it’s not, but you can always order it—just ask! Cheese & Pepper 🤝 Love & Salt. Simple ingredients, seriously delicious.

What people say
Love & Salt is a gem of a restaurant located on Manhattan Beach Boulevard that offers an exceptional dining experience. As a New American restaurant, it combines the best of Italian and Californian cuisine to create dishes that are both delicious and unique. The restaurant's philosophy is simple yet powerful: great food needs only two ingredients. This approach is reflected in the menu, which features rustic Italian-inspired dishes with a Southern California twist.
One of the standout features of Love & Salt is its history. The restaurant was born out of Cafe Pierre, which was a beloved part of the community for nearly 37 years. Today, Love & Salt continues to honor that legacy by providing exceptional service and high-quality food that keeps customers coming back time and time again.
The Executive Chef at Love & Salt, Chris Feldmeier, brings his expertise from Osteria Mozza to create thoughtfully crafted menus that showcase the best of Italian cuisine. The wine list and cocktail program are also top-notch, reflecting the vibrant SoCal setting of the restaurant.
Overall, Love & Salt is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Manhattan Beach. Whether you're in the mood for classic Italian dishes or something with a California twist, this New American restaurant has something for everyone.
