“good customer service but the food was very expensive. the question is will I go back ????????“

“Love Claudio & the team here. They are so welcoming and have the best Happy Hour in the Arts District!

We hosted our Baby Shower here and they were so accommodating. It's a great location for a private party or a large group. Definitely recommend!

They do validate for parking - pull into the Aliso building lot by Arrowhead Brewery.

Try the squash blossoms, Lambrusco & spicy calabrese pizza. Everything is so yummy.

Highly recommend a reservation on the weekends - they get busy!

“A wonderful local place run by people who used to work at some high class places decided to run their own business. The sauces are great. They have specials all the time. I'm shocked how the prices are still low. Crowded even on a Wednesday.
You will not be disappointed.“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“My Daughter & I had dinner here tonight… the food was PHENOMENAL!!! Great Friendly Service too!! What a treat to sit at the bar & watch everything looking delicious coming out of the kitchen window!!! Thank you for such a great Saturday night treat for an out of town Momma visiting her daughter!! I’ll beg her to come everytime I’m in town, and be very Jealous that she gets to come whenever she wants!!! EVERYTHING was BEYOND DELICIOUS!! Bravo!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“Ordered: gluten free pizza with added giardiniera and side of chili paste, Market Salad, and shaved ice with fruit The salad had very fresh greens and it was the first time I’ve ever had fried capers which added a great flavor to the salad, if you like capers I recommend this salad. The pizza was very interesting, I thought the crust was very well done but the toppings didn’t stay on well and it was messier than I’d like and I had to keep re-piling the toppings on after every bite. I had the spicy giardiniera but it also didn’t stay on, the chili paste was great to layer on it and then press the giardiniera onto it to help keep everything in place. The pizza was sweeter than I like a pizza which is where the chili paste and giardiniera helped. Very beautiful pizza, try it for yourself, might be your style, not mine though, I’d eat it again and would keep this as a recommendation when I have a group of vegans and non vegans. The vegan desert they had was shaved ice with fruit, it had coconut and maybe coconut cream at the base of it and there was lemon flavoring in the ice which made it very tart and exciting, the cherries were a nice sweet contrast, I really enjoyed it, I did not get a chance to photograph it because I ate it before I remembered. We sat outside under a pergola with small trees and plants. The staff were friendly and helpful.“

“It's delicious. The price is also right.“

“Lascaris’s never disappoints from there pizza to there sandwiches. Ordered the large Roast Beef, Ham and turkey sandwhich with cheese. The bread was nice and soft and came with mayo lettuce and tomatoes. The sandwhich also comes with a side to which I got the macaroni which was nice and creamy. Sandwiched and side totaled 15.50$ I also threw in some bbq chips for a 1.25$ more total came out to 16.75 which felt was pretty decent. I would definitely recommend Lascaris to anyone looking for fresh yummy Italian food.“

“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!“

“Best Italian food I’ve ever had!“

“We had the DineLA menu. The corn gazpacho was wonderful, perfect for summer. Both the branzino and duck could use some more flavors. The chocolate sorbet was delicious! Nice dark chocolate flavor. Our server was excellent, friendly, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The patio was nice and we very much appreciated the low volume music ...allowing us to have good table conversations without having to raise our voices.“

“Incredible atmosphere, excellent service. We sat at the window bar looking out into the street and it felt so inviting and wholesome. An experience I feel is rare among LA restaurants. The caprese was amazing, deliciously simple and decadent, and with the pesto on top . I had the mushroom carbonara and my wife had the caccio e pepe, both of which I can reccomend wholeheartedly. Also on thursdays there's a farmers market right across the street. Had a great time and we're excited to go back and try more of their menu. Shoutout to our waiter what a chiller.“

The food is hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had – the handmade pasta is so fresh, and the sauces are rich and flavorful. The ambiance is charming, with a lively atmosphere, making it a great spot for groups or intimate dinners. Whether you’re craving a hearty pizza or a delicate seafood dish, they have something to satisfy every palate. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Had to check out this place and oh my goodness they best pasta I've ever eaten. Their veggie soup is really good. Was going to order their ravioli but, they no longer serve them anymore. Definitely have to try their signature meals, service is very friendly! Love supporting small businesses <3“

“Asparagus appraiser was slightly salty, but very tasty. Sweet potato ravioli was great and NY steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We will be back!“

“First time there, will definitely return. Very friendly service; the meatball sandwich was delicious, huge meatballs.“

“Food was delicious. Our waitress was covering way to many tables for any one person could possibly handle. Not her fault i am sure that was management's decision. The wait wasn't bad to get in or to get our food. The only issue was our overworked waitress.“

“Despite reading some negative reviews from a long time back, I took the gamble of visiting this restaurant and giving it a chance. This was my experience. Service was excellent, food came out quick despite attending a big party celebrating a birthday.

If you're looking for somewhere tasteful, cozy and welcoming that will provide you with quality delicious food and excellent customer service. Look no further if you live or are visiting the South East area in the city of Maywood.

This is my 2nd time visiting this overlooked hidden gem; which I still can't believe it's been here since 2019 and stopped by until now. I have NO regrets visiting and dining at "Rajas con Crema".

This restaurant was welcoming, cozy, ambiance was delightful, customer service was on point!. Thank you for the awesome experience Javier and Staff.

On my first visit, I had their rib eye steak and garlic shrimp with seasoned veggies and mashed potatoes, and delicious warm soft toasted bolillo bread. Also had their (Mollete) which was soft, beans were very homely made and chorizo sprinkled throughout.

Today's visit, I came for breakfast and had their steak and eggs, Cafe de ollá and my partner ordered chilaquiles con carnitas. Both dishes were exquisite, Cafe de Ollá was delicious, customer service was awesome with attention to customer.

I am definitely coming back, not overhyping anything but, usually it's not common or typical to visit a restaurant and have a great all around experience in customer service and food quality tastiness ??.

If you're in the area, definitely check this hidden gem out and give them a try, and try their various delicious dishes, no regrets!. ?“

“In celebration of My Lady birthday. The service was beyond expectation. The servers were kind, joyful, attentive and respectful. The food was brought to the table fresh, hot, and to the person who ordered it. The price was well in reach. We Gad an grantastic time.“

“Well, I realized that between one Olive Garden and another, the good taste of the food depends on the cook.
I ordered the same thing I had ordered at another Olive Garden and it did not have the good flavor I had experienced at the previous Restaurant.“

“Love this Place. The Staff Was Very Kind to Us. They Took Care Of Us Right Away. The atmosphere was very Nice a mixture of R&B Music every looked Happy Enjoying their Food and Drinks.. Will Be Back Here Again Soon .. Thank You North Italia 🇮🇹💯“

“The food was good and price was good. I guess the reason I put 4 instead of 5 is because they did not acknowledge my sister's birthday even though when I made reservation I had stated it was for an occasion and it was for a birthday. When I let the waiter know my disappointment in no acknowledgement, she just smiled and didn't really care so now it was twice that it was not acknowledged. Sad but whatever moving o to other restaurants that make guests feel good.“

“At the moment you come to this restaurant the waiters give you a great feeling. Very congenial team, it is a good restaurant to enjoy with buddies or with your date. delightful cooking, specialist chief cook and stuff, honest price and attentive service. Warmly recommended.“

“I booked mom's 80th Birthday at the winery, we had 60 guests for my mom's surprised birthday, my mother was completely surprised and very happy everything went very smooth with the help of Sherry and Jennifer, party coordinators, they helped me with the menu selections, table arrangements and on the day of they were both there throughout the entire event, every single guest was impressed with the place, food, attention to detail by staff, the elegance, I don't have anything bad to say but rather praise and thank Sherry, Jennifer and the staff that assisted in making my mom's 80th Birthday an amazing experience. Thank you“

“Owner Operator Jose A Portillo has a gem of an Italian restaurant in Baldwin Park. Stopped in early on a Friday for some dinners to-go. My elderly parents are mostly homebound and they are very fond of this little eatery. I was deeply impressed with the service and attention from Jose himself during our visit. And this was for to-go orders. We got two orders of La Pescadori and a meatball sandwich. The dishes were spectacular and the care and love from El Appetiz was world class.“
