Funghi Shitake and Margherita Pizza
Lisa F.

Such a lovely restaurant! Came with coworkers for dinner. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the calmness as it wasn't super busy yet. They have Happy Hour 5-7 Sunday through Thursday. The drinks were well crafted and the food was delicious!

Another special occasion well spent at All'Acqua. I have reviewed this before but came back to add that the Fazzoletti was delectable! My first Fazzoletti ever!

A half portion of pasta? $28?!?

Disappointing. Ordered a Maiale Pizza ($27) and a Fettuccine Bolognese (subbed bucatini) ($28). $60.37 with tax. Pizza was fine. Really can't complain about the size or taste. Bolognese - Tiny, tiny, portion (see photo, quarter for scale). Literally filled less than half the to-go container. 28. American. Dollars. Don't worry, if you could taste anything, it was only briefly. And for a "lamb, veal, and beef" ragu, it's pretty tasteless. A brown unappealing sauce with no onions, garlic, or seasoning. Called them and asked about the portion size and was told "it's probably the pasta, our portion sizes don't change" - about as little of a care as the puny portion that they served and charged me for. Save you money, go to Spina down the road.

Mortadella and pistachio pizza

This review is for the $20 weekday lunch special. I don't know how much longer they're running this promotion but it's incredible!! You get an appetizer (choice of soup or salad), entree, and scoop of vanilla gelato all for $20. The best part is that the entree you choose is a full size normal entree which includes pizza, pasta, or a panini, which can actually run $28+ at normal price! I've come several times and the pizza is by far my favorite choice of entree! You can't go wrong with any of them but the margherita was especially good. The dough is so light, chewy, and crispy and the toppings taste high quality. I've also tried a few pastas, the linguine vongole, orecchiette with Italian sausage, and bolognese. They're good but not amazing, however given the price of the lunch special it's still a good deal to get a full size pasta dish at this price point. I recommend going with a few friends and sharing your entrees, it feels like you're getting so much variety and an incredible price.

I didn't. Get a good photo because we devoured everything.

I was pleasantly surprised (which is saying a lot of you know me). We came here for a birthday dinner with my best gals, and from quality of food, flavor profiles, the cleanliness of their water glasses, to the servers' knowledge of the menu and courtesy with each encounter - im left impressed. Apologies for this review filled with run-on sentences - but im rushing to go eat the rest of the delicious meal. Everything was 10/10!! Must try

I love brunch here. Rose bottles for $5. The paninis are so good and we always order the mushroom pizza. The breakfast spaghetti is great too. We usually sit at the bar. Service staff is always great. Nice spot for brunch or dinner.

Margarita & Dinner with the Birthday Girl
RoseMary F.

This restaurant was recommended and chosen by the birthday girl. She had been here before and knew it would be good for a birthday dinner. The restaurant staff were very attentive and friendly. I felt very comfortable, I was treated like a returning customer, not a stranger. Our group ordered shareable dishes. We started with a cocktail, a large salad, grilled octopus, 2 wood-fired pizzas, and pasta. The birthday girl got a dessert. This was the first time I heard of Diavolo Pizza (Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Calabrian Chili and Grana Padano). It was hearty and soooo delicious! Followed by Butternut Squash Ravioli, I loved the creamy sauce and fresh basil on top. The pasta is made fresh on the premises daily. Hours of Operation: Brunch - Sat/Sunday - 11AM-2:30PM; Lunch - Mon-Friday - 11:30AM-2:30PM; Dinner - Sun-Thursday - 5PM-9:30PM; Fri/Sat - 5PM-10PM. Reservations can be made on their website, or by calling 1-323-663-3280, don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary and Te-see sent ya!

Had dinner at All'Acqua and it was such a nice experience overall. We sat on the outdoor patio, which had a great atmosphere -- cozy, not too loud, and perfect for a relaxed evening. The lighting and setup make it feel a little upscale but still very approachable. I ordered the Rabbit Ragù, and it was delicious. Rich, comforting, and full of flavor -- the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had a nice depth without being too heavy. It's not something you find everywhere, and they executed it really well. The portion was just right too -- satisfying without being over the top. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe of the place is warm and welcoming.

Came here for Mother's Day and waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for a Caprese panini that arrived with a pale, insipid tomato slice, a few random chunks of mozzarella, no pesto, and falling apart. The side salad was just plain greens with no dressing. The restaurant was clearly overwhelmed and overbooked, but what made it worse was we had no check‑ins, no updates, nothing to hold us over. Only after we complained did they bring two tiny slices of bread for a table of nine. Extremely disappointing. Will not be returning.

Menu

We came here to celebrate my daughter's promotion and this was her choice since she loves Italian! Very nice ambiance with a Top Shelf Bar and a nice size wine collection! We started with the following appetizers: Grotto misto calamari, shrimp, zucchini, shishito peppers had no calamari legs, just a couple of shrimp but batter was really light and crispy; nice Garlic ciabatta bread, parmigiano, butter and parsley; Italian chopped salad was ok, nothing special; Margherita pizza with mozzarella, basil, parmigiano, sea salt & extra Virgin oil was the highlight of the evening! My husband had the Polpettine which are 2 pork and veal meatballs with tomato sauce and eggplant parmegiana which was ok. I had the spinach fazzoletti(hankerchief) with porcini mushrooms, garlic, white wine and parsley. I enjoyed the fresh pasta and very unusual presentation so I liked it! Server seemed new, never mentioned any specials but the staff to clear dishes were very prompt! I was disappointed that they didn't have the Spaghetti "HERO" with crab or the strawberry blueberry cobler. :(

Did you know that this is the sister restaurant to "Barbrix Restaurant & Wine Shop" located in Silver Lake area? Claudio owns both and last night he greeted us at the door & sat us at a four top near the window facing Glendale Blvd. It was perfect! Love the high ceilings, lighting is a tad dark but use your phone flashlight to read the menu:), the ambience was fabulous and the food off the charts! Jose was our server and he took great care of our table. Everything we ordered came out quickly! We shared everything including: *Diavolo Pizza ~ 5/5 *Italian Chopped Salad ~ 5/5 *Penne Vodka ~ 5/5 *Chicken Milanese ~ 5/5 And ofc ~ sugar rimmed margarita's 5/5 *Full service Bar *Great for large parties *Private Parking lot (medium size) Park on street if full *Moderately Priced *Serving sizes are shareable *Friendly service

Caesar Salad
Alique Y.

Food was all great. Burrata was rlly good I love the combo I just love burrata. Caesar salad was good u can tell they use real anchovies I just personally don't like that it's not chopped. My entree the bolognese fettuccine was really good and the mortadella burrata pizza was delicious. My cousin thought the rabbit ragu didn't actually have rabbit in it and he sent it back when he realized the meat was weird lol so just a heads up. I like how the lighting is dark and there's a couple candles per each table for a little light. Service was great we were having a good time with the waiters they surprised us with a couple of the dishes good recommendations throughout.

Pici Calabrese, Fettucine with Rabbit Ragu, Branzino with Potatoes
Astrud A.

I brought my parents here for their wedding anniversary and it was worth it. They have plenty of parking and it's free! The staff are very friendly and helpful, attentive and make sure that we are taken care of. Ambiance: Dimly lit, perfect for nice dinner with friends, or dates, not too loud, and clean. Food: I don't even know where to start. I had their Fettuccine with Rabbit Ragu and it was delicious! Not too salty or had any aftertaste. It was my first time trying rabbit and first I wasn't sure since I love rabbits :( but it is the recommended dish on the menu. My dad had the Pici Calabrese and my mom had their Branzino. They both loved their meals as well. I forgot the wine I had but it was a great accompaniment to my pasta! Dessert: Ooooooh I'm a big dessert person and their dessert hit the spot! We ordered their chocolate lava cake and butterscotch budino. THE BUTTERSCOTH BUDINO WAS HEAVEN ON EARTH. I almost liked the plate it came with lol The chocolate lava cake was good too but I was more impressed with their budino. It's been a while since I've had a lovely budino after Bottega Louie. I would love to come back to this place again! I recommend 10/10 !

It is tossed with shrimp, mushrooms, and roasted pancetta, all in a rich creamy bisque. Our party of 5 all ordered this and we never regret it (about $25 per plate). We also ordered a seasonal dish called Paccheri Nero Di Polpo featuring squid ink paccheri pasta cut to resemble calamari and served with cooked octopus ragù. They serve free bread as you wait and you can help yourself to olive oil, vinegar, and/or their chili oil. Can't go wrong with an order of calamari. Their meat balls were tasty and more sausage forward.

Maccheroni Republic - Life is full of pasta-bilities!…read more So if you know anything about me, you know that I love pasta more than just about anything. While I can only officially claim about 12% Italian heritage, I'm 100% down for Italian food, especially homemade pasta, any day of the week. I'm spending this week in Little Tokyo for a conference, and while Japanese food is also absolutely my jam, when Maccheroni Republic slid into my Yelp feed, I knew that I had to hoof it over there immediately after we broke for the day. I saw the front of the building, and my heart sank because it looked closed, but then I noted the sign that indicated that the entrance is on the right side of the building through the courtyard. Thank goodness! I strutted through the courtyard, and observed about 15 people waiting for tables. Unbothered, I went up to the host stand and chatted with the stylish maitre'd - Dino - who indicated that he could have a table for me in 7-10 minutes. I proceeded to wait and I watched how he deftly sat the other waiting parties in order without difficulty or notes. To the untrained eye, it might have looked a little chaotic, but Dino absolutely knew what he was doing. About 15 minutes later, Dino sat me at a corner deuce in the inside dining room where I had a nice view of everything. Angel efficiently took my order and did a very good job of overseeing my table as well as about nine others. The dining room is so cute and homey, and the patio is a welcome respite from the bustle and business of downtown. Since I was "da sola" or on my own, I just tried the shrimp cakes and I ordered the Rigatoni all Norma which is one of of my go to pasta dishes since I don't eat much meat. Incidentally, this dish is named after Norma, the famous 19th-century opera composed by Catanese native Vincenzo Bellini. According to legend, a famous Sicilian playwright, Nino Martoglio, tried the pasta and was so overwhelmed by its perfection that he exclaimed, "Chista è 'na vera Norma!" ("This is a true Norma!"), comparing the culinary masterpiece to the musical one. So says Wikipedia anyway. The shrimp cakes were delivered quickly by a sweet food runner who kindly checked on me periodically during my dinner. The four shrimp cakes were accompanied by sauteed onions which paired really nicely with the crispy cakes that were brightened with a spritz from the fresh lemon wedge. She also brought a basket with four slices of Italian bread which I enjoyed with the EVOO and Balsamic that were on the table. My Watermelon Ciao was also so good. It was sweetly tart and such a nice treat on a Monday! Not long after I polished off the shrimp cakes, the rigatoni was delivered and dusted with a generous layer of parmigiana. The little fresh mozzarella pearls glistened on the top of the pasta and slowly melted and oozed into the sauce as I stirred it up. Yum! The rigatoni were al dente and delicious, and they were perfectly sauced. Of course, the eggplant was perfectly cooked as well, I only wish there had been a few more pieces of it - although by the time I ate the last noodle, I was so full! Alas, I had no room for dessert, but I intend to bring some of my conference colleagues back for a meal before the end of the week because it was THAT GOOD. I also loved that this place is NOT pretentious at all. There were all sorts of folks enjoying their food here from medical professionals in scrubs to college kids in shorts and t-shirts, and I was also very casually attired, but I was treated well and welcomed with graciousness and delicious food! Mille grazie Maccheroni Republic, Dino, Angel and everyone at this wonderfully lowkey yet fabulous trattoria.

Less is more. But let's talk art (culinary, that is). The dishes certainly deserve main features. To start "the best Caesar salad in LA" and I quote which was certainly true. Grilled octopus charred on the inside and juicy at the center. Spicy pomodoro is perfectly al dente and a well-balanced sauce. But, my favorite-- the agnolotti! Wow, melt in your mouth! The flavor profiles of corn, crème fraiche, and old bay were delicious. My only wish -- larger serving of this (smallest pasta serving on the menu). To complete it, banana pudding tiramisu -- delicious too with a firm center and oozy outside. Atala was wonderful and very sweet.

Of the things we ordered, I really loved the farro salad ($22?) best. Refreshing pomegranate seeds are mixed with the farro and give the salad an added crunch. The farro sits on a bed of dill infused crème fraiche. It is a deliciously refreshing salad and the perfect complement to any meal. For pastas, the sweet corn agnolotti ($28) was so light and fun. The little pockets of agnolotti is stuffed with corn and swims in a savory broth anchored by crème fraiche. It's giving summer and I'm absolutely here for it. Cento's dining space is quaint, so make sure to make a resy.

I had…read moreflown from New York during a dreary stretch, and landing in sunny Los Angeles felt like arriving on another planet. California offered an immediate rush of light, space, and possibility. My memory is that when I turned my phone back on at LAX, my friend messaged to say he'd gotten us the hookup at Bestia. That dinner belongs to a chapter in which I spent considerable time in California and felt energized by the contrast with New York. My friend is highly discerning, with impeccable taste in food, design, and culture. He notices details most people miss, so when a place impresses him, I pay attention. From the moment I saw his message, I knew the reservation meant something. Even before we entered, Bestia's character was evident. Faded lettering crossed the corrugated metal facade, while brick walls and old loading doors preserved the warehouse's industrial history. Inside, enormous windows and garage doors brought light into a room shaped by glass, exposed ductwork, and warm amber pendants. When I fantasize about living in a loft, many of the attributes I picture are here, especially the incredible windows and connection to the street. Inside the restaurant, the dining room achieved a combination I rarely encounter. It had the table density and collective buzz of a great New York restaurant, but within a large, design-forward space closer in scale to something found in Chicago. New York creates energy through tight rooms, while Chicago excels at ambitious spaces with strong architectural identities. Bestia captured both advantages and made its considerable footprint feel alive and unified. We sat shoulder to shoulder at a pale stone counter facing the open kitchen. Golden era hip hop was playing, and A Tribe Called Quest still rings a very specific bell. I ordered the squid ink pasta, and it was exquisite, with enough depth and precision to command attention amid everything happening around us. We also spotted an unmistakably A-list celebrity, whom I will leave unnamed, making the night feel quintessentially Los Angeles. During that period, I often stayed at the Ace Hotel downtown, and the Arts District felt vibrant, raw, and full of possibility. The proximity to Skid Row could be deeply jarring, with severe hardship existing beside ambitious development and expensive restaurants. That contrast kept the neighborhood from feeling like a neat story of urban renewal, even as Bestia seemed to anchor its evolution. The warehouses and loading docks gave the area a character that no new development could convincingly recreate. Nearby, I also remember the American Apparel complex during its demise and the rise of impossibly cool Los Angeles designer John Elliott. His Escobar sweatpants and Villain hoodie helped define the kit of that moment; loyalists will understand. Los Angeles is a fickle city, drawn toward whatever is new and shiny, which makes Bestia's longevity especially impressive. Scene without substance is plastic, and Bestia earned its electricity through exceptional cooking, assured service, and a remarkable space; if I lived in Los Angeles, this would be one of the places I'd rely on whenever I wanted to impress someone. This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in the world.

Loved that it had some classic dishes and some fusion ones as well. Came on a Friday night and joined the waitlist but only had to wait about 10 minutes! There was complimentary bread and a side salad that came with the entrees, and the bread was warm and delicious... We ordered the two Allegro specials on the menu-- Uni pasta and Bolognese. For appetizers we went with the server's recommendation; chicken gizzard confit. Chicken gizzard confit was mind blowing. As someone who enjoys things like gizzard, these were cooked in a way I had never had before and it was delicious. The uni pasta was sooo rich, creamy, and flavorful. 10/10 I would recommend it.

Once step inside, the decoration, the vibe totally changed. It's a dark hue with humbling yet elegant setting with a bar table and I almost felt like a dining in the cave ambiance. The menu was not complicated and only focused on pasta, but there are so many choices to my liking! The squid ink, the mentai cream, the uni sauce, and the garlic butter sauce. We ended up settling with Creamy Crab Gratin, mentai cream pasta, the Pescatore Bianca (seafood spaghetti), and Tarako Spaghetti (Cod roe and squid garlic butter sauce). -Crab Gratin is really creamy and cheesy. I just didn't quite get why there are a few pieces of penne pasta inside. But overall tasted good! -All pasta comes with bread and salad. The salad is really fresh and serve mostly lettuce and cherry tomato, which is how I like it. The dressing is not the ranch creamy kind, more cloudy vinaigrette based, also to my liking. -Seafood spaghetti came with a variety of seafood, shrimp, squid ring, mussels, clams, etc. The portion is huge. -Mentai cream pasta: delicious! I think if I order uni pasta, it'll be the same cream base sauce but with uni and $6 bucks more. I'm happy with my choice. The whole dish is consistent, creamy with a slight kick from the mentai, slices of mushrooms and shredded seaweeds on the top. Delish! -Tarako Spaghetti: I took a small bite and appreciated the strong taste of garlic butter in the sauce. -All 3 pasta are served with the thin spaghetti like angel hair. Service is ok, we asked for water refill and the response was polite. Dirty dishes were taken away timely. If I had more time, I would definitely come back for a second visit. A place like this deserves to be in a more upscale block on the street. Btw, parking inside the plaza is not free even though it's just a strip mall. Expect about $8 bucks for dinner parking. It's gated entrance. If you get lucky, you can park on the street and pay the meter.

I feel the seating was a little tight in certain areas put they did make clear walking paths. Traffic to get here was horrible but we got lucky and found a non-metered spot about a block away as soon as we arrived in the area. For apps, we ordered the garlic bread and meatballs. The garlic bread was different. It was a sourdough loaf with oozing garlic butter inside but was only toasted whole so overall ate very soft and I missed the typically toastiness I get with most garlic bread. The flavor was still very good, especially dipping it into the marinera that accompanied the meatballs. For entrees and sides, we ordered the lasagna, the eggplant tortellini, the chicken parmesan and the broccolini. I can only say they really like their parmesan here. I'm not the biggest fan so I brushed a lot of it off. The tortellini was the star of the show for me and I think it was partially because all the other dishes were marinera + parmesan so it gave a nice break in the flavor profile. Something to consider when ordering next time. The chicken parmesan was delicious. I found the lasagna to be okay and would pass on the broccolini next time (to be fair, I got rid of all the cheese so that probably change the flavor profile they were going for).

But then came the included sides of fried fingerling potatoes and Ruchetta salad -- to say 'generous portions' is an understatement. I literally laughed at the mountain of salad when it arrived. It was all just incredible. The Prime Porterhouse was at the correct temperature, seasoned well and melt in your mouth amazing. The fried potatoes were hot, crisp and tasty. The salad was so good that the husband ate it -- I couldn't believe it! I tapped out early and in order to leave room for dessert, I had to force the husband to stop. We chose the CROSTATA DI MARMELLATA because of the apricots. We were so happy to have dined while they're in season and incorporated into Mother Wolf's menu. We were then surprised with complimentary sorbet (NETTARINA) and gelato (VANIGLIA) for our birthdays. Beautifully presented, the sweetness of each dessert was perfectly balanced and a wonderful end to a fantastic dinner. And this goes without saying -- service was impeccable. Thanks to the Mother Wolf team for another great experience!
