Food was delicious. We were brought samples to taste of the wine by the glass which was really appreciated. Service was excellent, too, and everyone was so nice. We will definitely be back.

A lovely neighborhood restaurant with an extensive menu. We had the bruschetta with burrata, pasta with red sauce, salmon and tuna. Everything took a bit of time to arrive even though it didn't feel as if the restaurant as full. Our server made lots of suggestions. The food itself was good but not great.

We love La Puglia. The food is always delicious and the service is superb. If you like Italian food and especially Southern Italian food, give La Puglia a try.

Lovely evening listening to jazz and eating excellent food - though the prices are a bit on the high side!

Jazz every Tuesday night! No cover charge but $50 per person food and drink. That is easy to do, the wine is $15 a glass +

Un esperienza unica. La chef nonché proprietaria di LAPUGLIA , Valentina Bianco, riesce a trasportati letteralmente da Los Angeles in Puglia con il suo menù 100% Italiano, PUGLIESE! QUALITÀ ESTREMA, CREA EMOZIONI E DIPENDENZA😂.

A taste of Italy in Santa Monica. Great sauce and an excellent gluten-free pizza to boot..

Holy Puglia, worst restaurant ever, the food was terrible, service so bad, the only thing going for them is the laughs you have with your family about how terrible it is. We asked the owner why the filet was so chewy and stringy, then she tried to fight about how amazing it was, but then we got another dish, and she brought out a frozen steak on a plate, still in the wrapper. But then our server finally came over from fighting another server in a yelling battle, she was rolling her eyes and very rude. Not sure if this will help you, but don’t go here, I repeat, don’t go there.

Server was great and friendly. The problem was the food. The pasta and pizza we ordered came out barely warm but at this point we were so hungry we just decided to eat it. Taste wise seemed solid but I was missing that freshly cooked feel because it was not hot at all. Vibes were great! I'll be coming back to see if they know how to make hot food and if they can't, won't be coming back again

The food needs more attention, it had no taste the fish did not had any flavors, tasted like inexpensive frozen farm raised. I had to ask for olive oil, limes, and chess to add taste.

Worst experience on the restaurant ever. The pizza was burnt from the bottom and uncooked on the top. Even after we complain about that and told them to cancel the rest of the order that wasn’t ready yet they didn’t seem to care and also scammed us on the price.

I pass by this restaurant all the time and I’m glad I finally tried it. LA Puglia is a standout among Italian restaurants on the Westside. The fritto misto, pasta, and gelato are outstanding and are comparable to some of the best meals I had in Rome and Amalfi Coast. But beyond the incredible food, this restaurant also shines in their hospitality, delivering a refined and elegant experience.
