I have enjoyed dining at La Vecchia on an occasional basis over the years. This dining experience was less than ideal, starting with an unfriendly and curt maitre d', subpar food, and seating at a chilly, drafty table located not far from a sometimes open outside back door.

Great food, excellent wine list, wonderful and helpful staff. Very reasonable prices for excellent food -- good variety of choices on the menu as well. Options for seating -- inside or outside -- are both excellent. Outside can offer better acoustics for larger parties.

This is an absolute great restaurant to dine in. The food is amazing. The service by service person incredible. The waitress was also nice. I highly recommend this restaurant. I do not think there are enough stars to give

Best Italian restaurant on the West Side, in my opinion. I've been going to La Vecchia for over 30 years, and never disappointed. Great good, the BEST Happy Hour in L.A. Love all the staff, love the dip and bread, and their menu has something for everyone. It's my go-to for almost any occasion.

Great restaurant. If you like good Italian food, this is the place for it. It never disappoints. With plenty of dining space, both inside and outside on the large patio, there is not a wait for a table. On this night it was raining outside, so most tables were taken inside. Our server was attentive and our food was delicious. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant I will return again and again.

Can’t say enough about La Vecchia Cucina. Has been a favorite for my wife and I for 20 years. It continues to keep its quality and taste. Although we moved out of the area, we look forward to coming into town just to dine here. Thank you Mark and Team!

We just had a great dinner at La Vecchia Cucina. The host always is so personal and sat us right away in a quiet area of the restaurant. The menu is very extensive with alot of choices . We had such great food and service each time that we dine there that keeps us coming back . The lasagna and the pastas and desserts are excellent . Great wine list too .

I have been enjoying consistently delicious food from Lavecchia for over 20 years! They know how to do it right and I'm glad that they never tried to fix something that wasn't broken like many of the other restaurants that closed down in the neighborhood! The food is absolutely delectable and never disappoints. It's a fun place to go with friends or couples to socialize and have fun.
