“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Wow! This is a gem in Hollywood you cannot miss. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is unparalleled. My husband and I came here last minute on a Saturday before a Pantages show, sat at the bar… and everything from beginning to end was fantastic. As Pantages season ticket holders, this will definitely be our new go to spot before our shows moving forward!“

“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!

“This is the 2nd time in 10 days that we had dinner at Vinici! We came both times with friends who were visiting from out of town. The food was amazing at both visits and so was the staff. Food - consistent and delish! The Pane with butter and Brussel Sprouts are a favorite of both visits! Service - Everyone is friendly and attentive. Ambiance - Love the music they play in the dining area!“

“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“

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

“Really great service, way ahead of most LA restaurants. Food is delicious, staff is very attentive and well organized. There is always a “but”. Hostess are typical LA style “we are too important and fancy” girls making the very beginning of the evening pretty unpleasant. The rest of the night is 100% worth the time.“

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

“This was our first visit to Rao's. We came on a recommendation for a friends birthday. It was a perfect evening! The staff was on point - super friendly. They sat us on the back patio which was awesome. We (of course) had the meatballs and they were incredible! The Parmesan crisps served when we sat down were so good! We all loved our meals - veal parm, pasta carbonara, pasta oilo and the pear/fennel salad to start was delish! The highlight of the night was meeting/chatting with Johnny Roastbeef. He made the night magical and so much fun with his stories of how the brand became so popular and telling us about the other restaurant locations in Harlem and FL. All in all 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!“

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

“Great vibe, great food, AMAZING service!! Special shout out to Rachel who is fabulous and truly takes her time to make me and my partner feel so welcomed. Definitely get the garlic bread, spicy rigatoni or the chicken parm. Would recommend everyone to come here!! ?“

“Wow I love this cute little place, it’s going to be my new favorite morning spot. The food is incredible - focaccia so light, fluffy, and flavorful you feel like you teleported to Italy - and they make the most perfect tart crust I’ve had in years, which Francesca described as “home” to her. Both (the prosciutto and fontina grilled sando + apricot tart) paired beautifully with their americano. Chefs kiss!“

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

“I absolutely loved having dinner with my fiance here. This was our second time here. Service was excellent; attentive & charismatic. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful & fresh. That chicken parm was crunchy & juicy - fried to perfection - with the most tangy & forward thinking marinara sauce on top. I left feeling completely satisfied & happy we spent our money.“

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

“My first meal in L.A. and I couldn't have selected a better restaurant. The service was excellent, he was attentive and gave a great recommendation. we selected the goat cheese salad to start. It was delicious. Main courses were the chicken lasagna and seafood medley pasts. The portions were perfect. I will definitely return.“

“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“

“Me and Vidhisha had an excellent meal. The owner talked to us throughout the night with a infections smile. I could taste the love in the food. Very accommodating to my dairy intolerance. I will be enjoying another dish from Spumoni sometime soon.“

“From the very entrance you can feel the atmosphere of a family restaurant. At the very beginning we got a piece of pizza, as apprentices. The main course also included a salad or soup. The main course consisted of 2 plates. In my case, I got pasta with tomato sauce, and on the second plate there was a huge chicken breast with cheese and tomato sauce. My husband had a delicious pizza. We received free refills for the cola we ordered. The food was excellent, and such service is often not available in the best hotels. Standard of service, like in Waldorf
After paying the bill, we received a delicious piece of tiramisu for free.
I recommend this place with all my heart.“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“LAVO The perfect place for an unforgettable moment

I recently had the good fortune to propose to my partner at this lovely Italian restaurant, and I couldn't have chosen a better place for such a special occasion. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere enveloped us with its warmth, elegance and an unmatched romantic touch.

The decoration was exquisite, with dim lights, candles on each table, The staff was incredibly attentive, helping me coordinate all the details for the big surprise. They even went the extra mile, giving us a table in an intimate corner with a perfect view of the restaurant.

The food was simply spectacular. We started with a beef carpaccio and a fresh burrata that seemed to melt in your mouth, the prime meyer Ranch porterhouse is exquisite.

The staff handled everything with discretion and professionalism. In the end, they even gave us a glass of prosecco to celebrate our new stage together.

I recommend this restaurant not only for its exceptional food, but also for its impeccable service and romantic atmosphere. If you are looking for a special place to celebrate or, as in my case, to make an unforgettable marriage proposal, this is the ideal place.“

“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!“

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

“First time dining here. Absolutely wonderful experience. The food & service was spectacular!! My friend & I split the lobster ravioli (as an appetizer) & we each had the Chilean sea-bass w/lentils & arugula salad. It was unbelievably delicious. I highly recommend Locanda Venetia. Nice ambiance as well. I would definitely dine here again.“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever had in my inter life. Bread was fresh as hell. Tomato Lettuce n olive oil vinegar was spectacular. It tasted like subway in the 80s. Energy there was great!Definitely will be coming back! A 420 must go/have😋“

“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 🙏🏽❤️“

“My husband and I tried this restaurant today and we were very happy with the food. The chef took our order and took the time to explain that the lasagna recipe is from his mother. The lasagna sauce was amazing and so was the Diavola pizza. Very authentic and intimate restaurant. Great place for a date night, or quiet dinner with friends.“

“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!“

“😋Delicious Italian Homemade Food“

“Los meseros son muy amables me gusto mucho el ambiente“

“Sat at the bar. Great atmosphere. One of the bartenders (seemed to be either mgr or owner) was great, but the other guy was new and not great.
The pizza was pretty terrible,*if* you know what good Italian pizza is. I could barely eat it - crust was not right, and there was so much cheese you couldn't even find that crust.
I'd visit again for the drinks, but never again would I try the pizza. Sad.“

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

“I found this place across from my hotel. I ended up coming here three nights in a row. Everything was so delicious. The homemade Beef rib ravioli, Spaghetti with tiger shrimp in spicy tomato sauce ,and ribeye were the main dishes I had. Very very good. I loved the cheese cake for dessert. Their service and atmosphere is fantastic. The staff were very friendly and happy to see me back. I may come back again tomorrow.“

“Cucina italiana eccezionale. Mi sono sentita come a casa. Personale gentilissimo. Super consigliato!!!!“

“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! family owned and run.“

“We had an exceptional dining experience. From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed, the service was impeccable. Being seated by the assistant wine director, Dustin, who demonstrated exceptional knowledge of wine pairings with my meal, greatly enhanced the dining experience. His attentiveness and graciousness throughout the evening left a lasting impression. Garett and Daniel ensured that we had enough food for the evening and were incredibly efficient in clearing the table promptly. They were so kind that I had to ask for their names.
Michele’s dishes were meticulously prepared and executed to perfection. The al dente pasta, a staple in my culinary preferences, was particularly noteworthy. The dessert was an exceptional highlight, showcasing the chef’s remarkable pastry skills.
Overall, the dining experience was memorable and highly enjoyable. I will undoubtedly return for future occasions. Thank you.
