They almost forcibly took our drink order (rushed)outside before we got sat. I asked the opinion of the server for wine. Seemed uneducated about the menu. Once we walked to our table, the host snatched the menu from my hand instead of just asking for it. The server spoke to the table with an attitude right off the bat. Our party of six was taken aback by tone of our serve when all we had were genuine questions. (It was our first time there) He stated that our dinner would be a little lite, but before taking our order he insisted we only got 2 pizzas…. even though we really needed to order more food. He never checked on us our whole stay. The place was so loud you could hear the people sitting shoulder to shoulder with you. We certainly didn’t feel welcome.
Especially when we could overhear the section next to us got a more immersive experience with the different server pulling out 4 suggestions of wine for his guests. They were intrigued about his passion for food/wine. He seemed more vibrant. It seemed like a polar opposite our table was experiencing. Thankfully the food was great, unfortunately the service didn’t seem like a priority of standard.

The new menu is fabulous. This is one of the few restaurants left that treat customers with respect and civility.

Having dined at Drago in the past we went in with certain expectations, unfortunately those expectations were not met. The service was extremely lacking. We did not have a wait person, the manager checked in when he saw us looking around. They took my sons birthday desert to the table next to us, who refused it, then it dissappeared to the back never to return to our table. I had to go to the hostess station to ask for to-go containers and our check.

Attended a fundraiser for Kizuna. Venue is very nice with intimate ambiance. Food was delish and drinks were amazing. Staff was attentive and I felt very special dining in their dining room.

Food was amazing. The pasta is all handmade, in-house, and it shows in the taste and quality. I had the pappardelle pasta with the pheasant, and not only was the pheasant and pasta itself outstanding, but so was the creamy sauce that was in the dish. The other dishes that our group of 4 selected were also just as good. My only negative was that the portion sizes are smaller than before, but that is the sign of the times. I would rather have a smaller portion size than pay an even higher price for the food. Well done, Drago Centro! We will be back.

Very good meal and experience. Somewhat noisy environment but we were seated where it didn't impact us significantly.

Overall was good but asked for a cup of ice 3 times and finally went to bar to get myself, kind of annoying.

All of the staff at Drago Centro are attentive and friendly providing impeccable service. Our lunch was excellent starting with Hendricks Negronis, arugula and artichoke salad, tender, melt in your mouth carpaccio, then fresh pastas, rich and satisfying sauces, and finishing with some cherry sorbet and lattes. This elegant yet unpretentious setting and lunch with great company (a beautiful woman) made for a wonderful, gray weather, delicious afternoon. Drago Centro is one of my family's favorite restaurants downtown for lunch or dinner!
We have dined here frequently and have never had a complaint. Food is always outstanding as is the friendly and attentive service. The host is most gracious and remembers us by name as well as the location in the dining room where we like to sit. Drago is like our second home when we visit Downtown Los Angeles.

I love the food how authentic it is and how good the service is. We are lucky to have it below our office and they even honor an employee discount during lunch!
