It was Italian with a Asian flare. Weird mix. Check menu before you go. Dont order the "Cobb Salad". Terrible. A few pieces of avocado and a few tomatoes. Thats it! No cheese, no meat. I would not return.

Wow! From the valet to the server everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Good food, good atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Looking for dinner before theater? I took a shot at closest and found this little gem! Korean Italian fusion. First, we loved the ambience eating on an enclosed patio with table top fires between all the tables. The wait staff were welcoming and happy to see us. The menu has lots of choices to fit everyone's tastes and be sure to peek at the bakery in the next room - pastries are beautiful. I ordered spaghetti a vongole. The clams were plump and juicy with a clam in every shell- always a god sign! But the juice was divine and sooo tasty, spiced a little by an Italian chili sauce. My friend ordered the octopus salad and was also very happy with how tasty her food was. Was a wonderful surprise and will always come back when I'm this side of town

Delicious Italian food with a Korean twist. The Kimchi Carbonara was so good! You wouldn't think kimchi works with pasta but it does. Nice ambience, good service and walking distance from the Wiltern. My wife and I will be back, when in the neighborhood for a show at the Wiltern.

Location isn't open during the day, only at night. Googles hours are wrong

In accurate kitchen hours. We made a reservation on open table and drove to the restaurant just to find out the kitchen was closed and they were only offering drinks! I even called before and they said the kitchen would be opened during the time of our reservation.

Server was very rude when I was trying to order my food I don't know if they were short staffed but it took so long to bring out the food . Wouldn't recommend coming here unless you want to get talked aggressively, take your money somewhere else

I was excited to go and try this place because it's nearby where I live, but everything from the moment we walked in went bad. Services was bad, they took our manus twice before we were done ordering. They didn't have some meals and they don't make you aware of that, and the menu also doesn't specify all ingredients. I asked for the basil pasta and I came with shrimps, thankfully I don't have a shrimp allergy, but I'm pretty sure that's a hazard. Drinks were half way empty, and they don't even give you water.

Amazing service and great food. Only thing I would prefer is cloth napkins as the paper ones provided weren't sufficient and didn't want a bunch of dirty paper napkins on the table during Valentine's Day dinner.

Very strange experience. Waiter seemed overwhelmed and bizarre. When taking out food order he tapped loudly on my water glass with my knife to get people's attention. He would take one drink prefer run to computer type it in and then come back and take the next one. By the end of the meal we were all scared of him! Food came out wrong and missing one entree. Pumpkin salad was inedible. Smelled like maple syrup with slimy pumpkin pieces.
I have been a loyal patron of Cafe Concerto for some time, but my recent visit was quite disappointing. Despite having requested outdoor seating during my reservation, I was informed upon arrival that we couldn't sit outside, although there were patrons seated there. The service left much to be desired, as our server rarely checked on our table. Our drinks were overly strong and not enjoyable, and the "carne" pizza had a mere scattering of meat, which was quite misleading and disappointing. I was excited to introduce my friends to this establishment, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to expectations.

The food was delicious, we had the Asada Pizza and the Cajun Pasta. Both plates tasted fantastic! My feedback to the restaurant is it's hard to ignore the particle board as part of your wall. But the quality of food more than makes up for that distraction.

Food was excellent. Service was very attentive. My wife was pleasantly surprised when we were seated and she was asked what type of water she wanted and hot water with lemon was one of the options. A nice touch. The waiter was very pleasant and explained the dishes well. The Kimchi pasta is a must try. Perfect blend of savory and sweet with just the right amount of heat. Pumpkin salad was amazing so was the Vongole. Beautiful fresh clams perfectly seasoned pasta. We will be returning soon !!!

I came to take my boyfriend here for his birthday and we both really enjoyed it. The servers were really nice and the food was great. We wanted to try so many dishes that we just said we'd come back to try them another time! :)
