We found a real gem here in in Arcadia! The wife and I came here for some good Italian food and 19seventy did not disappoint. Jonathan, Arnulfo & Jorge made this a wonderful lunch. We started with cocktails that came smoked! Daddy's Little Secret & Kiwi Breeze made our tastebuds and dance! We had the pasta for two and the table side presentation with the short rib and fettuccini was amazing!!! Arnulfo's description of the history of the dish made it that much more delicious. The woman held the plates as he placed the servings on the plates....Lady you are strong! Jorge took our drink and food orders and ensured we lacked for nothing. Jonathan came by to check on us and chatted us up we loved the history of cocktails and the pictoral drawings. We did one more round of smoke cocktails II Padrino and Kiwi breeze for me. Both winners! My wife really loved that chocolate & orange bitters in the II Padrino cocktail. Jorge recommended the cheesecake some of the best you will ever have (We appreciate you putting pistacio ice cream on the side for my nut allergy:). The whole staff was superb and all of them had great personalities. We will be back with friends!!! read more

I am always welcomed like family at 19seventy at the Ovalo! This family owned restaurant is located inside the Hilton Arcadia and is across from the Santa Anita race track. Truly a locals favorite for an inviting social evening. The ambiance is appealing with full daytime light, many large tv's in the bar to watch sports games and a relaxing environment to enjoy happy hour cocktails or dinner in the evening. I love to visit 19seventy every chance I get. Great memories have been made during their special events. My first was a Caymus wine event which included a 5 course meal and a live music by Douglas Roegiers, to produce such a fun and romantic experience at sunset. Then again on a Friday night for Flamenco Fusion, a live music ensemble with Emilio Modern Gypsy. We have since been back for breakfast, lunch and dinner or just to visit the people who make it all happen. I was fortunate enough to meet the owners, who are the sweetest couple and good hearted people who emphasize hospitality and will stop at nothing to ensure the best experience for everyone who enters. Their priority on the customer experience shows their commitment and dedication to their expertise and passion. If your experience is anything less than extraordinary, they will try and make it right so give them a chance to. The thoughtful culinary menu offers a variety of Italian & Sicilian dishes to satisfy all tastebuds and dedicated to please. My favorites are Old World Frittata and Braised Short Rib Omelette for breakfast. The Perfect Rhapsody Pizza, Short Rib Pappardelle, Lasagna or Fettuccine Alfredo for lunch or dinner. I also recommend trying one of their many bruschettas. I can't wait try everything on the menu. There is truly something for everyone. The bar manager, Carlos, is friendly, hospitable and engaging every time with everyone. He loves to curate one of a kind, hand crafted cocktails and is very knowledgeable in what he does. The bar and restaurant offer a great selection of craft cocktails, spirits and wines to appeal to any palate. I highly recommend stopping in, tell them Kat sent you! read more

My husband & I went to this restaurant recently. The food was delicious, I had a pastrami sandwich. Best I've ever had! The menu selection was impressive. The service was great, Carlos & Maricela took really good care of us. The flower decorations were beautifully done & smelled wonderful. Highly recommend going here. We will definitely be back read more

My family had an amazing time at this restaurant. We ordered their house specialty short rib pasta and it was so fun to watch it prepared table side. The short rib was so tender. My dad enjoyed the mushroom pizza so much. He also loved the Wagyu meatballs. I loved the burrata and Brussels. The bavette steak was so tender too. The ambience was nice and upscale. Service was friendly and welcoming. Their cocktails are so pretty with a cool presentation like a show ! I would recommend this place. Parking was free and easy. read more

19Seventy is named that because that's the year, their first restaurant opened in Whittier, CA. It's a Sicilian style Italian restaurant. It's located in the lobby of the Hilton hotel. The decor is clean modern and unpretentious. Tables are set apart far enough to feel spacious. There are many tables for four with some booth seating and a large one in the middle for bigger parties. The menu is fairly simple several pasta dishes, pizzas, protein, like steak even a Tomahawk and appetizers and salads. I don't drink, but they're cocktails menu seems pretty decent We ordered a few pasta dishes, and a couple of sides: Eden's Secret is a basic salad with greens and slices of fruit. It's not bad not a good value. 2.5/5 Polpo alla Siciliana, grilled octopus with pesto marinade served over a salad. Octopus was cooked perfectly, and the pesto flavor came through. Not bad. 3.5/5 Rigatoni alla Vodka was perhaps the best pasta dish out of three. It had a nice creamy flavor without being too heavy, and the pasta was al dente. 4/5 Frutti di Mare with served with a decent amount of seafood, but the squid in pasta was overcooked and lean towards the soft side. Though it was good, it did not stand out over other restaurants that serve this dish. 3.5/5 Baked rigatoni had the most overcooked pasta out of the three. There was no chew with the rigatoni pasta. The sauce was underwhelming. 2/5. We skipped dessert because for me, nothing really stood out as a must try . It seems their short rib and pappardelle it's very popular as I saw a few tables around us order it. It's pasta pasta in a cheese wheel. Serve with short rib. It looked good, but heavy. Based on our experience, the pappardelle has a good chance of being overcooked also. Our server was great. She explained and suggested popular dishes. And came by just enough times to check up on us, but a young man that might have been an assistant server seems new. We weren't even halfway done with the appetizer when all the entrées came out and crowded our table that we have to shift plates around. There's also something else he did that suggest he needs a bit more training. It's not a big deal and I would never make an issue with the restaurant, but just pointing it out. Pros: it's in Arcadia so we don't need to drive far, and being in the lobby of the Hilton, it's easy to find parking. Cons: the most important thing, the food. Unfortunately, it lacked flavor and the pasta were overcooked. Still, it's a nice space for a gathering, a date or a celebration if you're not picky about the food . read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. The food is upscale Italian. The drinks were delicious and the food was great. Our server, Alma was very personable and attentive. It was a slow day so it was pretty quiet, but the ambiance was nice. We enjoyed our evening out. read more

Drinks: Dady's Little Secret - Aged Rum/Cherry Liqueur/Honey/Blend of Secret Flavors Padrino - Bourbon/Reposado Tequila/a Touch of Hibiscus Chamomile Syrup/ Chocolate and Orange Bitters Entrees: Caesar salads Fettuccini Alfredo with salmon Rib Eye - Cipollini Onions, Sweet Potato Purée, Red Wine-Fennel Reduction Dessert: Tiramisu A little Italian romance tucked inside the new Hilton Arcadia Dinner at Ovalo felt equal parts sophisticated and effortlessly inviting -- modern Italian cuisine with a vibrant Sicilian flair that knows how to make an entrance. The Daddy's Little Secret was smooth, sweet, and dangerously charming while the Padrino arrived bold and moody in the best way The Caesar salads kept things classic, the fettuccini Alfredo with salmon was rich and comforting, and the rib eye with sweet potato purée and red wine-fennel reduction tasted like the main character of the evening. And of course... tiramisu, because some love stories deserve dessert They may still be settling in, but the foundation already feels special. If this is the beginning, Ovalo's future looks very bright. read more

The new Italian restaurant located inside the Hilton is beautifully designed. I loved the spacious interior and colorful accents. Sadly, the food was just okay. We shared 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. 1. Pulpo alla Siciliana - grilled octopus with a pesto sauce, served on top of a bed of mixed greens. The salad was fresh and pesto was tasty, but the octopus was overdone and quite chewy. 2. Burrata & Brussels sprouts - I liked getting my veggies, but the sprouts were a little underdone and still kind of hard in the middle. 3. Tuna Crudo - I thought it would be like a tuna sashimi, but it was more like shaved slivers of tuna. It was a little fishy; would not recommend. 4. The perfect rhapsody - pizza with pepperoni, bacon, sausage. It was okay, no complaints. 5. Grilled bavette - skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, served on a bed of mixed greens and some squash. The steak was a little chewy, given it's not the best cut of steak. I've had much better skirt steaks. The salad and chimichurri were very similar to the octopus dish. 6. Wagyu burger - this was the biggest disappointment. The meat was super dry and hard. Even though we ordered it medium (as the chef recommended), it was definitely well done. We finished off the dinner with the pistachio ice cream affogato, which was delicious. 19Seventy has a nice atmosphere for catching up with friends and the service was attentive. I would not come back for the food. read more

What an amazing experience here at 19Seventy. At first it feels a bit weird since it's located inside the Hilton, but once you get past the hotel setting, the experience is honestly magnificent and totally worth it for a date night. We made a reservation on OpenTable, but it probably wasn't necessary since it was pretty empty. I think being inside a hotel makes it a little harder to find unless you already know about it. That said, I loved that when we arrived, they seated us at a nice corner table and had a cute "Happy Anniversary" sign waiting for us. Now onto the service, it was top notch. They checked on us often, gave great recommendations, and really made sure we had everything we needed. They even helped take a bunch of pictures for us, which I appreciated. Almost everything we ordered came with a little tableside presentation, which really elevated the whole experience. Here's what we tried: Melontinni - A top notch drink that was recommended to us. It came with a bubble on top that popped and released a really nice aroma. The flavors were great and I loved it. (5/5) Bellini - A perfect dessert drink for my wife, since she didn't want something too strong. It was like gelato, wine, and jam mixed together. Each part on its own wasn't anything special, but together it created a really balanced and delicious flavor. (5/5) Short Rib & Pappardelle - The main reason we came. It's hard to find pasta made in a Parmigiano Reggiano wheel, so this was our first time trying it with tableside service. It's definitely pricey at $80, but it comes with two portions and a unique experience. The cheese tasted super fresh and the dish felt really one of a kind. The flavors are bold and heavy, so it's not something I'd get all the time, but definitely worth trying at least once. The short rib was perfectly cooked and super tender. (4.5/5) Overall, it's an elevated dining experience tucked away in Arcadia. If you're looking for a dinner with fun tableside presentations and a more upscale vibe, this spot is definitely worth checking out. It is on the expensive side, so probably not an everyday place, but perfect for celebrating something special. We spent about $120 for two people and left pretty full since the Short Rib & Pappardelle was really filling. Parking - Free, right in front and plenty in the Hilton Parking structure. read more

19Seventy just opened this year along with the opening of this new Hilton. My experience here was good and I plan on returning. FOOD Parma and Arugula Napolitan Pizza - it's a good pizza. The dough, cheese, and everything else. Short rib & Pappardelle - this is prepared table-side. The show is great and the pasta tastes great. The portion size is pretty large. It's enough for 2-3 people. SERVICE Friendly and professional PARKING I like how there is self parking here and parking is free. The Le Meridian across the street forces you to do valet. read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday and didn't see the cheese wheel pasta on the menu. Turns out the table side cheese wheel pasta was dinner only, but they made an exception and brought it out for us. It's a white sauce pappadelle with 48 (or 72?) hour braised short rib that serves 2. The chef started off by giving us slices of Parmesan to try and it was delicious by itself. The short ribs were very tender and the pasta was tasty. We also got the perfect rhapsody pizza and it's on a fluffy almost focaccia like bread base but thinner. The meat toppings were just the right amount and very crispy which we liked. The service was great, they kept refilling our waters and checking in on us at the right times. The restaurant is beautifully decorated just like the beautiful bar right outside. Free parking at the back of the hotel. read more

Came for dinner as a group of 4. Thought it would be busy so we made reservations a week in advance but the whole restaurant was actually empty when we arrived. Excellent service and loved how they took the time to explain their menu. We ordered the following: * heirloom tomato bruschetta - very fresh and refreshing. Loved how the tomatoes were kind of tart * Eden's secret - refreshing salad that paired really well with the vinaigrette * short rib pappardelle - came with a little show where they tossed the pasta in the cheese wheel. The short rib sauce was a bit too salty for my liking * Parma with wild arugula pizza - loved the crust Pretty solid restaurant but prices are on the pricy side and also food does take a while to come out. The pizza actually came out first before our appetizer and salad which was different. read more

19seventy at Ovolo recently opened inside the new Hilton Arcadia, and after about a month in operation, they are already showing strong promise. With a highly successful sister location in Whittier, it is very clear the goal here is to replicate that success while introducing hotel guests to elevated Italian cuisine with a distinct Sicilian influence. This partnership works beautifully. 19seventy at Ovolo not only anchors the hotel's main dining experience but also services the rooftop bar and seating areas with thoughtfully crafted drinks and bites, which adds to the depth of the overall hotel vibe. Having stayed at the hotel for a full week, I have had the opportunity to explore their menu across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast was consistently satisfying and well-executed every morning. The Il Americano is a classic, comforting start to the day: eggs cooked your way, a choice of bacon or sausage, and your choice of pancakes or toast. The steak and eggs delivers exactly what you want: a protein-packed grilled steak paired with eggs and toast, hearty without being a heavy portion. The kitchen was also very accommodating with substitutions for dietary restrictions, which was much appreciated. One standout surprise was ordering the Charcuterie Pizza with me adding eggs added on top--my first "breakfast pizza," and surprisingly delicious. Lunch continued to impress. A Wagyu burger was custom-ordered without the bun or fries, and the kitchen delivered without hesitation. The Chicken Marsala pasta was especially memorable and was rich, deeply flavorful, with tender pasta coated in a wine sauce infused with garlic and onions that truly melted in my mouth. Service deserves special mention. Jorge, our server, took excellent care of us throughout our visits and offered great local recommendations that genuinely enhanced our stay. During our visit, the team was still finalizing signage, fine-tuning the menu, and completing staff training. Even so, the experience was already strong and it is easy to imagine how exceptional this place will be once everything is fully dialed in. Highly recommended, whether you're staying at the hotel or simply looking for quality Italian food with a Sicilian twist in the Arcadia area. read more

This might be my new go to spot for when I want to have a cozy night out. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff are so welcoming (shout out Britany and Carlos). My friend and I got the Aperol Spritz (yum), cheesecake (blew us away, it was so soft and warm, the spoon just melted into it), and affogato (hot espresso was delicious). The prices were pretty good for a brand new location. The table next to us got a pasta which smelled so good we asked them what it was. We already have plans to be back to try out their food. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of attending the wine and dinner pairing at 19Seventy inside the Hilton in Arcadia, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The evening featured Caymus wines, and every single course was thoughtfully paired, each dish complemented the wine perfectly. You can really tell the level of care and intention that went into the chef's menu and it was honestly something out of this world. The ambiance made the night even more special. They had live performances with a singer doing Frank Sinatra classics, which added such an elegant and intimate vibe to the entire experience. I was so caught up in enjoying everything that I only managed to take one photo--the homemade lemon gelato dessert, but it perfectly captured the experience. The presentation was outstanding, and the dessert itself was light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to the meal. If you ever get the chance to attend one of their wine pairing dinners, don't hesitate. 19Seventy truly knows how to create a memorable dining experience. read more

Our family enjoyed a wonderful dinner service on new year at 19Seventy. Our waiter Gerry provided attentive and friendly service throughout the evening. We started our dinner with an appetizer (calamari), salad, and soup. They were all solid but nothing extraordinary. I did particularly like the light and fruity dressing for the Eden's Secret salad. For entrees, we had the salmon, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Pork & Mint shared among my family. Salmon was tasty. The mashed potatoes were particularly creamy and tasty. The pork belly in Pork & Mint were very tasty though I wished I didn't ordered both that dish and Pork & Mint at the same time. While they were good, it was too rich to have both. For desserts, we got the Cannoli and Tiramisu (not pictured). Both are good but Tiramisu is definitely the better of the two choices. One note, I highly recommend asking for their bread. Their table bread was surprisingly really good. It wasn't offered to us initially nor listed on the menu so you have to ask for it yourself. They charged $3 for it (at least for a second order) and I would do it again. Overall, this is a great Italian restaurant for Arcadia. read more

The service was extremely friendly and the workers were all so kind when serving us. We tried their pizzas which were my favorite since the crust was fluffy on the inside yet crispy on the outside. Out of their pastas, my favorite was the seafood ciopinno. the short rib pappardelle came with a table side show which was fun to watch but the rum flavor was very overwhelming and overpowered the flavor of the Parmesan. Overall, this is a decent pick for Italian food in Arcadia but there are definitely better places in other cities. read more

I had an amazing time here at the 19Seventy at the Ovalo with my boyfriend. We came on Valentine's Day and booked a reservation two weeks prior. The little table setups with the candles and hearts were super cute!! We were seated and our server was Brandy. She was very nice and got our orders in relatively quickly, came to check up on us often, and made sure we were well taken care of. We ordered our appetizer first which was the Pulpo alla Siciliana. We waited almost 45 mins for our appetizer :( It was delicious though, the octopus was cooked perfectly! Salad was light and got us excited for our main courses. After about ~30 minutes, we got the filet mignon and the Rigatoni alla Vodka. Honestly it was so good too!! The filet mignon was so tender and medium rare, it melted in my mouth. We were genuinely surprised by how good the Rigatoni alla Vodka was, we paired it with shrimp, and it was just so delicious. It's definitely a must-try here! Also I wanted to thank Victoria who was the front staff, she was super nice and accommodating. She made our valentines even better :) Note: Google Maps location shows another Real Estate building, but it's directly across the street inside of the Hilton hotel! Parking available in the lot or off to the side there's a white 3 story building that's also for Hilton parking. read more
