“great place love the Mexican menu !it is hard to find kosher Latino food will be defiantly back“

“I have family in New York, and I spent a lot of time out there over the years. And even though I personally lived in Queens while I was there, Brooklyn Pizza rates among any pizza place on the East Coast. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere.“

“I wanted to share my highly positive experience dining at Grandi Italiani. The restaurant offers a sophisticated and welcoming ambiance, complemented by truly exceptional customer service. The quality of the food was outstanding, making for a thoroughly enjoyable meal. I wholeheartedly recommend Grandi Italiani for anyone seeking a fine dining Italian experience.“

“We’ve been coming for over a year now, and every time we go the service is top notch. The owner takes a moment to talk to us and to make sure we are having a great time. Their cuisine is exquisite, better than other over-rated Italian restaurants in the valley. They always surprise you with their delicious tiramisu dessert.
If you’re craving Italian food, this restaurant will always hit the spot.“

“Funke does many things right, yet still manages somehow to feel both warm but not inviting at the same time.

It’s odd to me because I recently met Chef Evan Funke and he seemed to be a super nice and warm guy(and clearly very talented), yet his spirit seems to not shine as bright as it could in this particular environment.

A protege of Wolfgang Pucks from back in the day, he himself has become quite a celebrity chef with hundreds of thousands of followers on IG, and all the other things: book, tv appearances, etc…

I believe he’s considered the “Pasta God of California!”

While I have yet to try his other concepts, Mother Wolf (Hollywood) and Felix Trattoria(Venice Beach) Funke is his newest addition to his portfolio of eateries, if not a huge departure in menu from the other two; freshly made authentic Italian pastas and elevated pizzas and animal proteins with a thoughtful bar and wine list. It’s all very good.

The standouts are the squash blossoms and pizza for me, and olive oil infused craft cocktail, but I have yet to try the pastas so cannot comment.

I’m giving this a 4/5 because I can’t help but feel that Funke can’t decide what experience it truly wants to give you. As I said, it’s warm, but not necessarily inviting.

All that said, add it to your list for fine-dining in Beverly Hills. It’s worth going for the open-air rooftop bar and squash blossoms alone.“

“Wonderful! family owned and run.“

“Amazing atmosphere, a great vibe, wonderful food. Overall A+ experience. One of the staff, Solomon, is probably one of the best servers I’ve had in a very long time- attentive, great attitude, and truly elevated the experience. Definitely recommend.“

“What an incredible hidden gem! We were craving Italian food and decided to check out Al Italiano. Walked in on a Tuesday night a little before closing. Eddie and the owner Robert greeted us warmly. The menu has some great options and we were indecisive what to order. Our waiter Eddie is a first class professional and answered all our questions with patience and in details. His recommendations were amazing. We ordered Eggplant Parmesan, Veal Piccata, Children’s cheese pizza, Salumiere pizza and their homemade Tiramisu. Everything was excellent and so tasty. The whole experience at Al Italiano was outstanding and unforgettable. Robert is a great business owner who actually cares and treats you like family. His whole staff is very respectful and helpful. The ambiance is very Italian and welcoming. We found a true gem! Thank you Robert, Eddie and staff! We will be back soon!“

“Antonio the owner is such a sweet person, the ambiance is romantic and peaceful. Now the food is absolutely delicious does not lack in any aspect! The food is authentic, flavorful, and without a doubt delicious! I come here regularly and am never disappointed. Ask for the cacio e pepe with a vino primitivo and to finish it off with a limoncello!“

“Hands down one of the classiest good vibes restaurants in LA! The food is excellent. The wait staff and bar staff super friendly and personable and Jill (bartender, wine connoisseur and server extraordinaire) is a great reason to keep coming back! It’s like stopping by to see one of your closest friends. Oh…and the olive oil lemon custard cake is AMAZING!!!“

“Service was friendly and efficient. Wasn’t too busy for a Tuesday night. We were a large group of business travelers and the servers were always very helpful. Food was good, not mind blowing, but our large group of 10+ collectively agreed this was a nice find and a good meal.“

“We dine here often. Food & service keeps bringing us back.“

“wait staff very responsive to our requests…. home cooked food at a decent price! a winner!!!“

“We accidentally stumbled upon this coffee shop in Beverly Hills while on vacation. Good lattes & homemade apricot cookies. What really made this memorable was the owner's little dog, Biscuit, and the friendliness of Carla's regular customers. Will definitely be back for some lasagna next time. ❤️❤️“

“Wonderful! Beautiful setting!Relaxing atmosphere! Great service!“

“Fantastic pizzeria in Westwood. Pizza is solid. Great menu to please most. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend....“

“Quality ingredients and exceptional service with consistency make this a great experience for every visit. There is something for everyone on the menu. The place is approachable, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious and fairly priced.“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“Thank you for the great food, excellent service and making my daughter’s birthday so special. For sure we will return to try other dishes. Erica was very polite, attentive, had a gorgeous smile l. If she did not mention, we would have never guessed that she is in training.“

“We walked over here for just a glass of wine and a late night snack. I can’t speak to the whole menu. We had a few glasses of wine and the calamari and we’re not disappointed. We ran into the most interesting people and love the entire vibe of this old school restaurant. We will definitely be back to try the full menu since the whole restaurant feels like a hug from the 70s. Every last person we ran into from the restaurant was super friendly and the service is absolutely on point. If the dinner service is anything like the service we got at the bar I’m sure it will be amazing.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lexi!!! She makes this place the best! My group (3 of us) showed up without a reservation on a UCLA home Basketball night. She and her team made us feel right at home, even with a full house!!! Food was excellent, service was even better! Can't wait to go back!!“

“Have now had 4-5 dinners at Tommy's and can't rave enough about it. The first one was great, and each time it just keeps getting better. Last Saturday the menu featured a few new options including a new pasta. It was called carbonara but forget thinking heavy creme. This was black squid ink version, not heavy, but simply the tastiest pasta I have ever had in my life. Mind blowing. There were four of us and we all loved everything we ordered. Plus the live music, which has been in the foyer, came into the dining room as the evening progressed. They were fantastic and there were 10-12 people dancing. Beverly Hills/Westside has desperately needed a new restaurant like Tommy's: phenomenal food, great vibe, beautiful room and great service. Plus Tommy himself is a great host to make sure everybody is having a great time. If you haven't been, you need to go. And no, I don't work there, not an investor, and have no connection to it other than just a customer who loves it.“

“Such a great surprise to find homemade pasta and so local…just a few minutes away in Valley Village. Quaint setting with lively Italian music. Servers were delightful and attentive. Started with the most delicious Caeser salad and homemade garlic bread. Our entrees were all stellar—especially the lemon ricotta ravioli. Loved the reasonable portion sizes. Too full for dessert, sadly! Perfectly paired Italian wines, too. Will definitely return!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and charming—perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special night out. The décor and ambiance immediately gave off authentic Italian vibes, making the experience feel genuine and cozy.

The menu is extensive and full of traditional Italian dishes, from fresh pastas and risottos to wood-fired pizzas and classic entrees. I tried several dishes, including homemade pasta and a perfectly baked pizza, and every bite was outstanding. The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentic, with perfectly balanced sauces, fresh herbs, and quality ingredients. You could really taste the care and attention put into each dish.

The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. I particularly loved the tiramisu for dessert—it was creamy, perfectly sweet, and a delightful end to the meal.

The staff was exceptional—friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. They were happy to offer recommendations, answer questions, and make sure our dining experience was top-notch. Service was timely, and everything arrived just as we ordered.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe. Whether you’re coming for a casual meal, a family dinner, or a special occasion, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Italian food. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes, making it excellent value.

Overall, this Italian restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience—authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. If you love Italian cuisine or are looking for a great spot for a memorable meal, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family!“

“Been going to this restaurant for years. The food has always been good, particularly the pizza.“

“Ate here last Thursday night. Had no trouble getting seated right away at 630pm. Service was excellent from the host to the waiter to the bartender and other servers.
The chef and menu are new. We loved the endive salad. My wife liked the eggplant starter more than I did. The fungi pasta was the highlight.
We also had the beef cheek pasta, where we really liked the pasta but the dish was small and came out warm, not hot. The filling was not something we got excited about, so would not order this again.
A bit disappointed not to find more seafood dishes, like we see in the menu from the older reviews.
Our table was great but if come back, especially with a group, we'll request a table further to the back. The outside seating looks wonderful, too, but I imagine that's mostly for lunch.“

“This has been my family’s go to restaurant for decades. Every time I go here, I am hit with nostalgia. Most birthdays and special occasions were spent here. Since I live out of state now, I always have to stop at chi chi's whenever I visit California. The plain cheese pizza is the best pizza hands down. I’ll never find another pizza like it. Also the cold cut sandwiches are delicious 🤤 I wish chi chis would extend into Oregon 🥲 also, please NEVER go out of business or I would be so devastated lol“

“Their service was amazing. Our server was very well-trained, and he answered our queries.
We went there to celebrate our anniversary, and they bought out our desserts with wishes.
I would definitely recommend making some of the portion sizes a bit larger.
The food was great, but very little portioned, especially the avocado appetizer.“

“I wish I could give this place 100 stars! This is hands-down one of the best, most family-friendly spots in our community. We’ve been coming here for years, and every time, they deliver an amazing experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent—and the warm, welcoming environment keeps us coming back.
Our most recent visit was just as wonderful. Our server was incredible—he took his time with our kids, was so patient, and made sure even our youngest felt included when placing his own order. That kind of kindness and attention to detail means a lot, especially to families with little ones.
The service is fast, the staff is always friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is just perfect for a casual night out or a weekend treat. You can tell this place truly values its customers and takes pride in everything they do.
We really hope they stay in this location for many years to come. It’s so important to have places like this in the neighborhood—where great food, great people, and great memories come together. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Excellent Italian food. Fine dining. Great for special occasions.“

“excelent food and very friendly family. love this restaurant. one of my italian favorites Restaurant.“

“5 Stars ⭐️ Amazing food but even better service!!! Just fantastic!! Highly recommend!!!“

“I recently visited Oliva Trattoria, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The restaurant has an immaculate, authentic Italian atmosphere—warm lighting, clean presentation, and a staff that treats every detail with care. I started with their Margherita pizza, which was executed perfectly: a blistered, airy crust, vibrant tomato sauce, and fresh mozzarella that blended into each bite. It's a simple dish, but Oliva Trattoria elevates it with true Italian precision. The handmade pasta dishes were the highlight of the night. The pappardelle tartufo was incredibly rich and aromatic, with the perfect balance of truffle flavor and silky, fresh pasta. The ravioli matched that quality—delicate, beautifully filled, and bursting with fresh ingredients. Altogether, Oliva Trattoria delivered one of the best Italian meals I've had in recent memory, and it's a spot I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine.“

“5 stars sorpresa meraviglioso ristorante, my first time here and i love It Good ambiance excellent food very cozy. buon appetito.“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“Cute non pretentious family restaurant. Booths and tables although booths are always reserved. Great specials good food and amazing prices in a warm family atmosphere. Lots of regulars. Great service and delicious Italian food. A must. Parking metered on street or back lot. No frills just good food!“

“Always a hit for a group meal, date night, catch up with a friend. I've had at least 3 birthday meals (brunch/dinner) between this location and West Hollywood. The flavors/execution of the food is truly top notch, and the decor and ambience is always so cute, warm, and comforting.“

“We have been coming here for many years and love it. Today was my father-in-laws 92nd birthday and he is not in great health but wanted Fabrocini’s. I called and they were so kind and accommodating, delivering birthday dinner for six at our door! The food was delicious and he was so happy!!! Thanks to the entire staff for making his day great and the years of great memories!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice clean store and food was delicious. The girl at the front was so friendly and answered me questions about the menu. I ended up getting the lasagna garlic bread salad combo and it was so good and for less than $15! I ate the garlic bread first cuz it was so good that's why it's not in the picture LOL.“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“Good food … we go there a lot … garlic bread, Italian food. I love the turkey and provolone salad.“

“Delicious food, I enjoyed myself there and the spaghetti was great just like expected 🧡“

“When we walked in we immediately noticed the modern and beautiful decor. Then we were greeted by a lovely and genuinely happy and well informed, helpful woman named Grace. Was so accommodating and informed about the tremendous choices on the menu. The food is well cooked, fast to arrive and all portions were enough for 2 and then some. Let me send out a special hello to our server.He too was attentive and very happy. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it !! We have decided to make this our date night dinner restaurant monthly. And so reasonably priced. Even with 2 cocktails, 1 appetizer and 2 entrees. The bill was just under $110. You can't beat this place. Thanks to the entire staff. We'll see you very soon!!“

“Good food - great service“

“The Le Cirque pop up was fantastic. The Chateaubriand was perfect and the mushrooms stuffed with short ribs were fantastic. I also loved the crisp pommes soufflé, like eating a hollow potato chips but much better. The service was professional and just the right amount of attentive. Los Angeles has many fine restaurants but only a very few with the Panache of Le Cirque and Ella carried it off beautifully. Only missed the art and exquisite decor of the original restaurants.“

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.“

“Excellent food and lovely atmosphere“

“there is nothing not to love about this place“
