“We had a slice of pizza, Caesar salads, and pastas. Everything was AMAZING! Can’t wait to bring everyone I know!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!“

“The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve👍👍“

“Our family had an excellent meal at Mother Wolf last night. The pasta was out of this world and the Italian wine selection was great. The decor is very nice and conducive to an overall excellent experience.“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“Amazing delicious food and love the ambiance. The servers were awesome!!“

“Every single thing is delicious. Trying to hit the whole bingo card 🤩 Also Micheal, best server 🥇“

“I am a neighborhood local at Marco Polo. This place is my favorite place, even as a local. Melissa and Anselmo will take care of you in the morning and afternoon--believe me! Then at night, they cater to events that highlight the culture of LA. Cannot say enough about this place... actually had an issue writing this review and getting the word out but... this place deserves it.

Okay... was here long enough to have the 1) hamachi crudo (mmmm... pistachios), 2) Caesar Salad (Go-to app), and 3) the pasta. I'm not even going to tell you which pasta. It's all delicious.“

“My Daughter & I had dinner here tonight… the food was PHENOMENAL!!! Great Friendly Service too!! What a treat to sit at the bar & watch everything looking delicious coming out of the kitchen window!!! Thank you for such a great Saturday night treat for an out of town Momma visiting her daughter!! I’ll beg her to come everytime I’m in town, and be very Jealous that she gets to come whenever she wants!!! EVERYTHING was BEYOND DELICIOUS!! Bravo!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“Lost my keys somewhere along Sunset and checked in with Ceci’s to see if anyone turned them in. They didn’t but ownership was so kind and empathetic that they handed over a fresh and delicious piece of tomato focaccia for my troubles. That’s what’s called unreasonable hospitality. Thank you guys, that was incredibly sweet of you and it brightened my day.“

“Rao's Sunday Gravy is The Best!! We had such a lovely evening there with some friends. Everything was absolutely wonderful. And our server, Kevin, could not have been better. Attentive, kind, sweet—he was perfect. Thank You Kevin!! And Thank you Rao's for a yummy and fun Sunday evening.“

“Three of us went to this lovely spot this week. The food was delicious, especially the beet salad. There was confusion in regards to the food being brought out to the correct table (the people next to us had ordered the same thing) but the manager went above and beyond to make it right. Well worth a visit. It took a 5 minute wait to be seated at 6:30pm on a Friday night which I thought was very reasonable!“

“If you are in Los Angeles, eating at Jemma Hollywood is a must on your list. They have a lovely staff that is attentive and professional. The food and cocktails are absolutely delicious. I recommend you just order everything! You can't go wrong here.“

“The best old-school southern Italian food right in Los Feliz/Los Angeles. Wonderful staff and Tony will always say hi and sometimes give you a free dessert. 🤩 ❤️“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

“What a discovery!!! Trattoria Daly is great! In fact it's a real "find" in Lincoln Heights-- just east of downtown but totally convenient. So nice to be in a non-corporate friendly setting in a restaurant run by great people who care about their customers and are proud of what they offer. This neighborhood gem will attract foodies and friends and harkens the beginning of a mini-restaurant row near downtown, Keck Hospital, Dodger Stadium, among other neighborhoods in various directions. The owners were for many years part of the team at Pacific Dining Car-- these guys are well acquainted with high end service and food. What they've established in the past six months, is a friendly local spot with top quality food and service-- for unbelievably reasonable prices. The bill of fare is Italian-- excellent starters, super pastas, and entree's like rib-eye steak, salmon. You can also do a simple pizza night-- or make it a special occasion. I've spent a LOT of time in Italy, and I'm picky about Italian food. This is an excellent kitchen! The general atmosphere is like a "discovery" of that little off the beaten track gem. But word must have gotten out-- when we dined there on a Sunday night, the place was hopping! The visible to the house skilled kitchen was keeping up with the crowd of happy diners. Two decades of Pacific Dining Car (which didn't survive covid) made these guys the pros they are. You shouldn't have to "sell a kidney" to eat well-- and this place is proof. They are in process and waiting for their liquor license -- but you can bring your own vino-- (or pick up something at the Smart & Final down the street.) It's great to see professionals who are really good guys stir up the right ingredients-- warmth, welcome, excellent food, and outstanding service, and ample evidence that the American dream is still alive. Can't wait to go back!“

“My friend and I had a terrific dinner last night at Civico 2064. We were looking for a quiet place for a tasty bite and this was a fantastic spot. Brandon greeted us at the door and made sure everything about the meal was perfect. The space is large but still felt cozy and the atmosphere is very inviting. We order a tasty starter to share and the short rib pasta which was sublime. I am Italian and the freshly made pasta and delicate, yet robust sauce, reminded me of my ancestral home in italy. There are plenty of authentic Italian options as well as a really interesting and large vegan menu. I love vegan food and can't wait to return and sample some things from that side of the menu. This is a terrific local eatery that feels both special and homey and we will definitely be back.“

“Great food Great service will visit again“

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“Great food at good prices“

“Wow!! We were so excited to be able to get reservations to Mozza during a business trip to LA. We got sit at the mozzarella bar and watch everything be made. The appetizer was outstanding. We got fresh burrata with dried peppers. It was drizzled with an outstanding olive oil. Our server, Alyssa, was one of the best servers we've ever had and we've travelled and dined globally. Our entrees were spaced perfectly. We started with the raviola. It was presented beautifully. It was exceptional. We also had the cacio e Pepe. Again, delicious and so rich. The final pasta was a ragu. The fresh pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce was rich and meaty. Dessert was a scoop of salted caramel gelato and an espresso, which we turned into the best affogato ever. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Love love love this place. We’ve been coming here for 19 years and highly recommend. Great food, wine and ambiance.“

“Amazing smoothies and bowls! Yummmmy! Cute shop with food and gift items as well!“

“Amazing food. You know the pasta will be great when you cant get enough of the salad. There were 5 of us. We got 2 salads, 3 pastas, and 3 desserts. Enough to share. The bread was delicious too. The vibe was great too. Will definitely coming back.“

“Dining at Barbara’s feels just like being at home; warm, intimate, and authentically Italian. The host welcomes you with genuine charm and cooks right in front of her guests, turning every dish into a personal experience. The food is traditional, full of flavor, and clearly made with love. Be sure to book ahead and try as many dishes as you can, it’s absolutely worth it! Not a budget spot, but every bite justifies the price“

“Love just place people and food“

“Today was the first time I ordered anything from here I have been wanting to for awhile and I just found my new favorite place to eat chicken Alfredo it was bomb and I’m picking when it come to Alfredo dishes,great portions too.“

“Curbside pickup First time“

“My first experience here was good. The submarine sandwich was very delicious, crazy big. More for a family to share. Ordered pizza slices and the pizza is very cheesesy and thick. The pepperoni is a bit on the oily side for me so I ordered the mushrooms and olives. The location is nice. Will definitely be coming back soon.“

“Muy buen servicio Comida deliciosa…“

“Louise's Trattoria is the crown jewel of Larchmont, embodying all the qualities that make Larchmont so special. A throwback to the fifties' ethos of personal service, the wait staff's attitude evinces the pride and engagement one would normally expect only from an owner. Danny (pictured) is one of five waiters I've had here who are truly exceptional. When you eat here, you will feel like a personal friend of the house. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend the outdoor brunch. The French toast and the eggs Benedict are my favorites. Come to Louise's. You'll be glad you did.“

“Really good classic Italian food in Burbank. We say didn't and ate. We got meatball sandwich which is really yummy. The meatballs are huge and the sauce is delicious. It's exactly what you want in a meatball sandwich Love the food here. There is also a little Italian market attached to the restaurant that has lots of good stuff and a little deli as well“
