“This has been our neighborhood go to place for over 2o years. Great food, friendly service. A great place to eat before or after the movies.“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“Our family had an excellent meal at Mother Wolf last night. The pasta was out of this world and the Italian wine selection was great. The decor is very nice and conducive to an overall excellent experience.“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve👍👍“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!“

“I don’t remember having pasta this good since I visited Italy back in 2014. I ordered the Tagliatelle, I loved how the noodles were so thin and the beef/sauce was just the right balance. The sfincione in bianco (focaccia) was amazing, reminded me of the one in Felix. Next time I’ll have to get a side of ricotta as a dip. For dessert, ended up getting the Tartino al Cioccolato - the textures were incredible and now is my all time favorite dessert. In my opinion, this is the best Italian restaurant in all of LA. Chef Funke really knows what he is doing. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!“

“As a couple who has deemed themselves “Pasta Connoisseurs”, we love exploring and trying new Italian restaurants throughout Los Angeles. When it comes to Jemma Hollywood, it exceeded our expectations. Jemma Hollywood has everything that one is looking for in a restaurant from beautiful ambience and great customer service to amazing cocktails and delicious appetizers and pasta dishes. I highly recommend Jemma Hollywood for date nights and girls night outs because you will leave the restaurant filled with delicious food and happiness.“

“Went to Chloe’s birthday party this past weekend and it was my first time trying Sogno Toscano’s food.

The catering was impressive. Everything looked so beautiful… and the flavor of the sandwiches was incredible…

All those cheeses and meat really got me!

I can’t wait to come to the restaurant and experience a full lunch and dining experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Atmosphere was great! Service was fabulous. Drinks were tasty! Margarita Pizza lacked cheese but the Sweet Cheeks was amazing 🤩.“

“There was a lovely engagement last night in front of Prosecco’s . Young love, and she said, “Yes!”“

“Overall good and front desk was awesome. There a pool party on Sunday we were not prepared for. That notice should be shared in multiple ways. We had an negative experience with one of the wait staff at the restaurant. Knowledgeable, efficient snd did't care if we were there. Bartender was also standoffish and ignored requests for cocktails. The lower lever bartender stepped up at one point and he was awesome.“

“Had such a lovely birthday dinner at this restaurant. It's a hidden gem for sure in Burbank. I had the shrimp scampi, the hubby had the lasagna and our son had a cheese pizza. They were all delish!!! The service and ambiance was great! Our first time but definitely won't be the last!!!“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“This is easily the best Italian spot in town.
Kick off your meal with some delicious stuffed mushrooms or a crispy fritto misto—both unforgettable starters.
For your main, I highly recommend the Penne alla Vodka or the Linguini with Clams. If you're into pork dishes, don’t miss out on the Pork Chops Agro Dolce—they’re outstanding.
Just remember to leave a little room for dessert. Their New York cheesecake is incredible, and the tiramisu is the real deal—exactly like you'd find in Italy.
Overall, it’s a menu you’ll love from start to finish. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Great place and very welcoming staff. Food was delicious and very Italian. Highly recommended.“

“My husband and I loved this place! The best Italian sandwiches we have had in a while. We even liked it better than the viral All’antico Vinaio. We also got the tiramisu at the end, and after going to Italy this past summer this was the closest and best to the real deal. Also got a latte and their coffee is also amazing. If you are in the area definitely give this place a try.“

“Where do I start. Liz and Maggie are amazing. They made my family feel like some type of celebrity. I can’t state in this short paragraph how blown away I was by the service we received. THE BEST SERVICE, I’VE EVER RECEIVED. The drinks were excellent and the food was so good. I recommend the wagyu meatballs. The dessert was so tasty. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order here. The piano bar is a musical nice touch. I really appreciated the attention to detail on the decor of the restaurant when it came to the music. I’m so very excited and satisfied with Osteria Florence and I can’t wait to comeback again. 10 stars ⭐️ thank you Francesco 🙏🏽❤️“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

“Our food was excellent! We had the Brussels sprouts, Pasta alla Norma, and the Cacio e Pepe. Great service, great food! Just a heads up that it’s very loud inside when it’s crowded. Fun, but not super conducive to conversation without speaking loudly.“

“I love the food and service at this restaurant.“

“We came here for my partners birthday. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. We came early so they gave us the option of sitting at the bar to see service prep or the table. For starters, we got the Nancy trio-delicious! And the grilled octopus. The salad paired with the octopus was delicious. I'd say the grilled octopus was a bit too charred for us but still very tender. For pastas, we got the orecchiette and brown butter ravioli. Both were very good. The hanger steak was perfectly cooked medium rare with arugula. We got tiramisu for dessert and it was one of the best I've tried. Loved the crunchy and roasted hazelnuts on top. They even added a candle for the birthday boy! We had a great night. We would come back!“

“I love this place. The owner is so nice. The staff is amazing. The food is always delicious. It feels like a family style restaurant. The owner is always recommending get suggestions for food options. And he is very passionate about his food. Every time I ate at this restaurant it has ALWAYS been an amazing experience. Thank you so much for sharing your food with us.“

“Delicious food and friendly atmosphere.We had a great time.Thank you.🙏🤗😇😋“

“We visited The Bella Pizza Trattoria Italiana last night and had such a great experience! The whole place has a warm, cozy, family-style vibe that makes you feel right at home.

The food was fantastic, the pizza had a perfect thin, crispy crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. The pastas were just as amazing, rich and comforting, like real home-style Italian cooking.

What really made the night extra special was the service. The chef came out to check on how we liked the food (which we loved!), and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell they really care about what they do.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food with a personal touch, definitely check this place out. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Manager Josh is amazing. I had a bad experience dining at Ospi already in terms of service, so after there were missing items in my order I was about ready to give up. I called in and when he took the phone he didn't hesitate, asked me for my address and drove over the food himself. He also threw in a kale salad for me as well. I will be coming back. Ospi team, you have a good one in Josh!“

“Excellent food and Judy was an excellent host she put up with us Australians 🍺🍺😀😀😎“

“I went with a large group and I think everyone but me like their entrées way better than I did. I really think maybe I just made a wrong taste choice. I went for a mushroom ravioli with a cream sauce. I have to say the service was excellent. It’s a cute little restaurant. You probably wanna make a reservation if you’re going there, the bread is incredible. It’s so so yummy. I did enjoy the appetizers. I was not impressed though by the Caesar salad I was with five other people and they all loved their trace. I think I just made a poor choice. I would recommend it and even for a romantic night or dinner.“

“Wonderful experience and great food“

“My boyfriend and I went to Lavo for the first time this weekend and absolutely loved it! The service was incredible from start to finish. Tristan and Rodrigo were both attentive, kind, and knowledgeable of the menu. We got the meatball, chicken parm, broccolini, asparagus and garlic bread. All of these items were delicious but I must say the garlic bread was the star of the show. We will definitely be back and loved the experience!“

“I've never been there but i have to say i love what they doing and hopefully we'll get to know each other and taste the beautiful pasta dishes“

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“My favorite part of my trip to LA/Beverly Hills! Edward is the GM. He is very personable, and he and his staff do a fantastic job! The homemade focaccia bread melts in your mouth. Yummy! Highly recommended!“

“Ottima cucina italiana, atmosfera elegante e accogliente, staff gentilissimo“

“Wonderful! family owned and run.“

“I have been going to roma deli for over 6 years. My kids and I sometimes go grab a pizza while we're washing at the nearby laundry place. They have a large variety of drinks and bottled water.
If we dine in we usually get sandwiches and paninis. With either fries or sides. The staff is always friendly and patient with us. The food is always good. Yesterday we got it delivered, I didn't wanna go out and I don't like ordering from delivery apps so I love that you could order directly from their website. I usually get the grilled chicken caprese panini but yesterday I tried the roma cheesesteak and that was also top tier (chicken caprese is still my favorite though) Literally everything that I have tried at Roma Deli has been good. Also I never remember to take my punch cards, I think you get a free sandwich if you fill up your card. If you have picky eaters, trust me you'll find something on the menu that they'll like.“

“Beautiful place to dine and enjoy the morning and afternoon coffee. One of my face place to dine when in the area! Highly recommended place to dine!“

“They have a full vegan menu and can even customize some vegetarian meals to be made vegan. All very delicious - highly recommend their green power pizza, rigatoni with eggplant, eggplant pizza, and pesto vegan caprese! The artichoke wasn’t that good but have loved everything else I’ve gotten there.“

“Love love love this place. We’ve been coming here for 19 years and highly recommend. Great food, wine and ambiance.“

“Carson was amazing and looked after our birthday group super well. Super funny and charming :) Most people loved their food, my vegan option was ok but honestly a bit bland. But for a big group with mixed dietary requirements this was a solid spot.“

“First time and it will be many more visits! The ambiance, divine food & amazing service surpassed my expectations! My friend recommended we go and from appetizers, main course and the dessert 😘❤️😁“

“The entire meal was fabulous. Truly enjoyable ambience too.“

“Hands down this was the BEST sit down meal we have had on our 3 1/2 week USA holiday (San Fran, Las Vegas, Anaheim and LA) My son and I had the Braised Short ribs with garlic mashed potato, carrots and a red wine gravy. My wife had Garlic Shrimp and pasta. All our meals were top notch. Definitely recommend eating here.“

“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. ❤️❤️“
