Delicious! Lovely staff and ambience. We enjoyed a great bottle of Italian wine that was recommended- it was very reasonably priced and yummy. Food is always good.
We went here for our New Year's Day lunch. We love the other location of this restaurant on Beverly Blvd, so we thought the Pacific Palisades location would be just as good. However, that wasn't the case — these feel like two completely different restaurants. The food tasted nice — no issues there — but the service was lacking. We repeatedly asked for the heater to be turned on, but it never happened. The server didn't take our order for at least 15 minutes after we sat down, and we finally had to flag him down. Overall, it was a very mid experience, and I really wanted it to be better because we love their other restaurant so much!
Cozied up among plentiful outdoor heaters and abundant blankets to take the chill down to Palisades cool. Gracious hospitality and excellent, attentive service. The food was exceptional, prepared as described by our server and staff. Start with dessert and end with dessert! Everyone was delighted—gluten free guests included. Great way to start the New Year. Thank you staff and servers at Angelini. We'll be back soon!
The food is delicious and the restaurant is well run. I go there at least once every few weeks.
Drinks Cocktails are overpriced... Food is superb.

Love this restaurant, the people and ambiance! One of our "go to" places. Normally would have been all 5 stars in all categories, but this time our server was pretty gruff. I would have given him 3 stars, but realize that it is the holidays and it can be a hard time, especially in a restaurant. I would have given him a total pass, but it was mentioned by our guest (who had no previous experiences at the restaurant to gage by) and the server attitude gave her a negative take on an otherwise wonderful evening.
food was awesome as always. ambience is so delightful. sat outside to avoid the noise and we were plenty warm next to the heater. service was great and we will be back soon !!
Food was great, service was lacking. Waiter wasn't very friendly and we are elderly and perhaps he didn't hear us when we spoke, but he was a bit rude. Service was also quite slow. It's definitely no Mort's Deli in terms of friendliness. Oh well, old Palisades v. New Palisades.
really good Pasta!👌

Definitely not the standard Italian fare you expect to find in a mall. I've dined here several times, and the pasta dishes have consistently impressed me with their freshness and quality. Highly recommend trying the Penne Rossa and Tagliatelle ai Funghi - both were exceptional choices for a vegetarian like myself. The freshly baked bread served is perfect for dipping in olive oil while you wait for your appetizers and main courses to arrive. The service here is top-notch. I've also enjoyed lunch at the bar during busy hours; it's an excellent spot to people-watch the bustling crowds of the Palisades as they shop.
Vegetarian options: A few of the pasta and dishes are vegetarian and clearly labeled as such.
Parking: Parking lot available under the palisades village shopping place.
Kid-friendliness: Can accommodate kids as necessary.

Table was less than ideal, felt like we were in a closet. One of our pastas was gummy we left over half of it, other pasta was also gummy. Felt as if bisser was rushing us out. Server was professional and friendly but no where to be found when we wanted the check. Owner Tancredi his usual hospitable self, and he brought over an amuse bouche. It was a less than special experience.
What a delightful and comforting place to spend an afternoon. We sat at the cozy little bar and enjoyed a beverage and some prosciutto with burrata. The service and atmosphere were perfect. See you again soon...
Angelini is simply the best dining experience available in Pacific Palisades. It is our go-to for special occasions and turns any night out into a celebration. Our favorite dishes include the Angelini salad and the Polipo. The dinner-entree Branzino is the best we've had anywhere in Los Angeles. We recommend Angelini most highly.
We were very dissapointed with our server. The fish special was terrible, fish overcooked and accompaniments under cooked, and it was way overpriced at 48.00. The rest of the plates were acceptable, but really? Acceptable? I know everyplace has off nights, and it was steaming hot that night. But now I am making excuses for acceptable.
