Easy to miss, but always make time to come here before flight.

Good food, and friendly service for an airport restaurant. It was uncrowded on a Tuesday, late morning, and they had the breakfast and lunch menus up, which was nice. The Classica breakfast is good, but they missed the prep on one of the egg orders. They fixed it right away, and everything was fine. Would come again.

these are both supposed to be Sauvignon Blanc I ordered the right one first and when I ordered the second one, the left one came I asked my server why the colors are different, his answer was "they look same to me" OK... I don't think they are same wine! they taste different, sir! when I had my first sip I thought something wasn't right with the wine... like they water down the wine??? or something??? with my instinct this restaurant is dodgy.. something is going on... the servers are sitting around the dinning area for breaks(!?) and talking/cursing loud with co-workers, it was NOT professional at all and my server was too busy to talk to co-workers he didn't even ask me how food was the bottom line is this place is just a restaurant where guests are come and go so the servers are don't give a s*** if you are having good meal or not :) sad, really....

Pretty good food for something quick. They serve breakfast after 10:00 and a lot of the other places at LAX stop at 10:00. I would eat here again

This is an awesome restaurant in an Airport. The staff are laughing and having fun and the food is much better than most airport food. The house salad was delicious with bacon and blue cheese. The pizza was small but great with lots of cheese, sausage and mushrooms on a very nice thin crust. Server was friendly and chatty. The food was so good we started eating before I got a picture!

Best burger I've ever had in my life. The service was mediocre at best. Would go back again for that burger though!

Make sure to ask for the check. They will over charge you and even add more money on your card after you leave. My bill was 45$ and when I checked again on my credit card it 85$ they added an extra 40$. They are thief’s and you can’t trust them.

They charged us for kids extra fee. For 6 or more people ( we had 3 kids, one didn't order anything) you going to pay extra fee. Be aware

Esperanza just amazed me by bringing a totally new drink that surpassed my needs thank you! Love this place at lax!

Me and my family were walking through the airport trying to find somewhere to eat. When we sat down the waitress Sheri was super nice and helpful. All the food tasted amazing! I have nothing bad to say about this place!

(Dined 02/08/22 TU @ 9:00am): Osteria literally took its definition to heart! I arrived early for my Alaska Airlines flight to Honolulu, Hawaii in order to settle in, have less stress, and relax into my usual pre-flight drink and meal which I found at Osteria By Fabio Viviani. This was one of the few eateries I haven't tried in this section of the terminal, so it was their time. Italian sounded lovely for a breakfast/brunch, and I loved Italian food, so was this a win-win!? PURCHASE Santa Monica Brew Works 310 California Blonde Ale 12floz Can 4.8% ABV ($10.00): Light amber color, light barley sweet aroma, light barley sweet flavor, low body, clean finish, and minimal sweet aftertaste - an easy simple brew Classica Breakfast ($12.00): Prepared with three strips of pancetta, two eggs prepared your way (scrambled in this case), crispy rosemary potatoes, buttered ciabatta toast, and a side of catsup for dipping, I loved the crispy salty pancetta, the eggs were nothing special, the potatoes were lovingly smothered in olive oil and rosemary, and the ciabatta toast was crunchy and hard. Hold the eggs and toast and give me more pancetta and potatoes Aquafina 20floz Bottle ($3.00): I always needed to stay hydrated, so I grabbed some water before I headed onto the plane. Several other bottle drinks were available SERVICE Greeted by a friendly hostess with paper menus, I chose to sit at the empty bar. I was immediately greeted by another kind female behind the bar who quickly took my order, my beer arrived in a can which she poured into a cup, and less than ten minutes later my food arrived all hot. I was checked on a couple times; otherwise, I really didn't need much service as I appreciated the alone time. The simple service provided was all I needed - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I was traveling through and had no need to park. However, the airport offered onsite parking structures with rates that varied from $7.00 to a range of $50.00-$70.00/daily maximum. Because this was located within Terminal 6 of departing flights, you had to already be an outgoing or incoming passenger to even get here, so parking would be a moot point. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located deep into Terminal 6 near Gates 60-64, this was a loosely-packed floorplan with seating at the bar (purse hooks underneath the bar) and plenty of tables/chairs throughout; this was a clean and uncluttered restaurant. Very good natural lighting came in through the large glass windows while standard electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. Three were several TVs while I didn't notice any background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Osteria By Fabio Viviani didn't quite satisfy my needs among few similar offerings in this part of Terminal 6. I wasn't familiar at all with the brand, the food (breakfast in this case) was simple and uninspiring at best. The breakfast menu was minimal while a main menu was also available. The service was straightforward which worked for me. The pricing was somewhat elevated as expected of any airport eatery, and the beer prices were really priced well comparably-speaking. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $27.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 3.0 STARS

I assumed the bad reviewers were expecting too much but I was wrong. This place is trash. Do McDonald's and at least get your moneys worth

Very sad, this restaurant apparently used to have quite a few potions for vegans and vegetarians, but no longer. That's not why I gave them one star. Usually, restaurants are happy to recommend at least one item on their menu that they can modify for people with dietary restrictions. When I asked the host if they had anything for me on the menu they simply said no. No help at all. Just, "go eat somewhere else." I was completely told to go else where just for having some dietary restrictions. I've never felt so unwelcome in my life. That's why they get one star.

Really bad service, considering the high prices. Asked for a ham omelet (“we do not have ham”). The pretentious name Osteria is too big for the scramble eggs and dry potatoes with ketchup (more a mcdonalds thing) they serve. Overpriced. The waitress asked one time if all was ok, while walking towards other table, without really caring for the answer. Had to request for more coffee because waitresses were busy doing things at the counter without even scanning the tables. While accommodating wine bottles a waitress was picking her nose right beside the bench and tables by the cava. By the end of my breakfast, a waitress came to ask me to move of table because she “had” to accommodate 9 people...without using proper manners or being polite. If they had an issue and ask for understanding from a customer they need to learn how to ask for it. I wanted to move to the corner, so they could have the rest of the tables for the group (4 tables for a group of 9 was enough). She said no, and insisted that I HAD to move to the place she was indicating. I refused to move then, and asked the tab. While bringing the tab she told in a loud voice to the other employees “he refused to move”. I hope these employees have long tenure in this place, because very unlikely they will find employment in a good restaurant.
