An Exceptional Culinary Experience at Nando Trattoria – Manhattan Beach
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into an atmosphere of pure elegance and warmth. Nando Trattoria is the true definition of luxury dining—romantic lighting, refined décor, and a relaxed coastal sophistication that immediately sets the tone for an unforgettable evening.
Each dish is a masterpiece, beautifully designed and bursting with authentic Italian flavor. The attention to detail—from the exquisite presentation to the perfect balance of seasoning—reflects true culinary artistry. The seafood was exceptionally fresh, the pastas were delicately crafted, and the dessert was nothing short of heavenly.
The service was impeccable, and Dario’s gracious hospitality made the entire experience personal and memorable. You can feel the passion, precision, and heart behind every plate and every moment.
Nando Trattoria is not just a restaurant—it’s a destination for those who appreciate romance, fine taste, and genuine excellence.
With great appreciation, Kayvan Vojdani Ambassador, Century City Chamber of Commerce

It takes a little while for the food to come out, but it feels as if the chef is preparing each dish with genuine care. The flavors aren’t mass-produced like in restaurants that push food out factory-style, but instead carry the touch of delicate craftsmanship. I didn’t see the kitchen myself, but the taste was more than enough to create a wonderful memory and a meaningful time with my mother. The staff’s professionalism also perfectly complements the concise menu and its thoughtful explanations.

Branzino and the fusilli pasta dishes we had were absolutely delicious. The service and atmosphere are first class. I knew it would be good, but it far exceeded all my expectations. Wish I would have snapped pictures to share as it was presented so elegantly.

Exceptional meal! Our server Valerio gave great recommendations and wine pairing. He also took the time to properly space the time for our appetizers, salad and main courses

This place is 10000% the bomb. Legit, authentic, can’t say enough. Get the off-menu chicken parm. Enough for 4 people.

Overrated, food took 1h30 min , the lasagne was frozen and had to be warmed up ! clearly not made fresh ! Food was mediocre and expensive for the quality.

Certainly the best Italian restaurant in California if not the entire west coast. Amazing food and unique blends of ingredients coupled with a great atmosphere.
Unbelievable arrogance here combined with stinky seafood! INSULTING for the experience alone and then worse for the price which is $$$$ for what you can get virtually anywhere else in South Bay. “Love & Salt” up the street is worlds better and an actual authentic and delicious Italian restaurant!
Have dined here a dozen times trying to give them another chance because they had good focaccia but wow, just gets worse every time. Absolutely out of touch with reality and basically surrounding culture, as well as, food execution! They act like a multi-Michelin star restaurant but they’re just rude AF with their weird aggressive servers and their food keeps getting worse and stinkier! Real talk, if you’re going to be directly rude and insulting to paying customers - MAKE SURE YOU NEVER MESS UP THEIR FOOD IF THAT CAN EVEN SAVE YOU. Oh but that doesn’t exist here. Just some cocky weirdos who think they own LA with their subpar restaurant. Unbelievable.
