    Hands down, this is the closest you'll get to a great Italian sandwich in Los Angeles. After spending time in Florence last year, we were spoiled by incredible sandwiches and deli meats--and this place truly takes you back. The bread and meats are spot on, just like what we had in Florence. I ordered the New Yorker (their roast beef), which was excellent, though I do wish the tomatoes were a bit better. We also tried the Paradiso, and that one was absolutely outstanding.

    The first time I had All'Antico Vinaio was at its original location in Florence, Italy and I've been thinking about that sandwich since. So, I was very excited they were opening locations in LA! This location is located near Rodeo Drive. Street parking is possible, but I recommend finding a nearby parking garage and walking to the store. The inside is a bit small, though you can sit down and eat provided you find an available table. The ingredients are on display just like in Florence and you can watch them make your sandwich. The sandwich itself was really good, the ingredients taste fresh and the bread is perfectly crunchy on the exterior and fluffy on the inside. It's a bit small, but pretty filling. Definitely a pricey sandwich around ~$20, and not as good as the original, so I probably wouldn't get it too often. Still recommend if you are craving a sandwich!

    Paradiso sandwich
    Andrea R.

    I've been wanting to give this spot a try for a while. All of their sandwiches are made with care, it took them a while to prepare the order before me and the mine but that's okay. I ordered the Paradiso since it is their most popular sandwich. This sandwich was delicious, fresh, and high quality. First, the bread was perfectly cooked, lightly salted, and sooo delicious. The ingredients inside were balanced and perfect together. The sandwiches here are big so I suggest sharing with someone! I ate half and my mom ate the order and it was the perfect amount. This sandwich didn't make me feel bloated after and I enjoyed it. I will be back to try other items on their menu.

    La Italiana
    Peter C.

    Lived up to the hype for me! The fresh focaccia is both crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The pistachio cream is the game changer that adds a nice depth of flavor to complement the salty cured meats. The store is small but strategically laid out to maximize space and seating. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Will be back to try different sandwiches, but I will always be drawn back by the signature L'italiana.

    bread is sooo fluffy and crispy. got it with the chips and they are so tasty and not too salty. super fast service. ingredients are so fresh. tried the forst sandwich and the one with caramelized onion cream.

    It was nice they let us try some of the creams and meats. I quickly found out the pistachio cream was not for me but in general that's not my thing. I got the Paradiso and I subbed the cream for Artichoke cream instead and some sun dried tomatoes. I loved the sand which it's a pretty big size so very filling. My partner got one that had cured beef and arugula it tasted very good that was a hot sandwich. Employees were very friendly and helpful with their recommendations. Definitely would come back

    La paradiso
    Cindy C.

    Ordered the La paradiso and La Dante. Both were delicious. Personally liked La Dante a tad more. Compared to the sandwiches at Eataly, Lorenzo, and the cheese shop, you definitely get your bang for your buck. It's about $20 for a sandwich but you can split one sandwich with someone. Can't wait to try the other sandwiches!

    I walked by many times and attracted by the freshly baked bread and the aroma Finally I got a chance to try with my family It is very tempting while watching them making the prosciutto slices and spreading the creams there The sandwich is very delicious The bread is crispy outside and flavorful Service is good but lunch time is very busy It is worthy to wait in the line We ordered "the New Yorker " ( roasted beef sandwich) It is very delicious and we will definitely come back to try other flavors There are few tables inside so it is fine to dine in there Street parking and parking structure is around

    Its a great sandwich! Fresh burrata, crunchy bread, simple and fulfilling. Definitely worth a try. Staff was helpful and gave great recommendations. Clean store and nice presentation . Takes me back to Italy

    Another great addition to the Beverly Hills restaurant scene and the Los Angeles sandwich scene. I was helped by two workers today, both of whom were so incredibly kind and sweet. I think she's latina but the brunette with tattoos making my sandwich was an absolute gem and has a bright soul, her enthusiasm definitely made for a better sandwich experience! I went with the La Paradiso, $18. A good price for a giant sandwich. The bread is crunchy, crispy, and fluffy. A bit mild in flavor but it's light with a good salt and olive oil coating. The mortadella is thinly sliced but piled high. It's lean, tasty, and savory without being salty. The straciatella is creamy, the pistachios offer a good crunch and the pistachio cream is rich and sharp. I also added tomatoes for a little extra to off-set the richness of the cream. Delicious sandwich and I'll be back to try more

    In my youth, I went to Italy. While I was there, I went to a sandwich shop somewhere in the country. The sandwich maker was warming it up. He did not speak English, and I did not speak Italian. With pantomimes, we were able to communicate. He said, basta, with a hand gesture and frustrated tone, I could understand that despite the fact that we were both not speaking English. That experience was memorable because I was in Italy buying a sandwich and experienced local color (most likely red) but I do not remember the sandwich. In this experience, I had an Italian Sandwich, in a Beverly Hills shop, and here, the sandwich was memorable and a sincere pleasure to enjoy! I guess sometimes, one does not need to book a ticket to taste a bite of a country that feels like the country. Still buy plane and train tickets though. I have ridden in a gondola in Italy and that was both memorable and epic. I could not get that feeling riding a Gondola in Long Beach. I am just saying that some solid restaurants will transport you, at least while your chewing the food of their countries, which means I traveled to Italy for a few winks of my eyes and mouthfuls. As I understood it, this Italian shop came from Italy and set up shop in the US. I thought that this shop was the only one but reading other reviews I discovered that this shop is part of 4 link chain. I paid 23 dollars to park in Beverly Hills, right next to it, makes sense it is Beverly Hills, but maybe when I go to another link in the chain, I won't have to pay the exuberant parking price. When I entered I was the only person in the joint. A lovely woman, I think her name was Lira, was a pleasure to work with. I think she saw that I wanted a bit of pizzazz in my visit and she acted like an Italian serving me. Workers like her who go the extra Venetian mile, deserve Red Poppies, which apparently are all over Italy's country side. Like at one point, where I was eating, and viewing pictures (more on that later) I turned to her, and said Lira, and she responded Si, in an evident Italian accent, that was also marked by joy! and my inner person swooned! I think her name is Lira, I am not sure, and no, I am. not just picking that name cause it was Italy's former currency. Or maybe I am remember wrong and did something subconscious? This is a reminder to write names down of helpers who are worthy of praise, so I can give them said due praise. And she does deserve praise, she acted to help me feel more in Italy's country side. When I entered, I marveled at the display of curated cheeses and meats. They gave me taste of their bread, they gave me tastes of their spreads and their cheeses and meats. I tried the bread with the black truffle spread and I tried bread with their pistachio spread. Both were excellent but I decided to try their Le Paraiso, becuase Lira said that was their most popular sandwich. And every bite was wonderful Eventually, the wonderful got boring. Imagine getting an In Out Burger but the burger would be to traditional burgers connected and that was the new burger. You might enjoy the first few bites but after, eating the second burger might be a challenge because there is no variation in flvaor. That is what happened here I ate the first half which was wonderful. I especially liked that the sandwich had actual pistachios, so at times you would be surprised by texture and crunch. But eventually, the joy became of trial of endurance. Could I finish the sandwich because I had to? I chose not. I paired my sandwich with no chips, and Italian lemon soda which was refreshing and had a subtle citrus flavor. After I was food sleepy not food coma-ey. I sat in front a wall of pictures and I was able to appreciate them fully because I dazed as I enjoyed them. What I liked most about these pictures, was that they were not of the Leaning Tower of Pizza, or the Vatican, they were images of the country that are not known, which made me feel like I was walking pathways from the past. I also saw a picture of a man with a long gray haired beared and a hat that drooped hard from the front. Was this man just a commoner or was he someone famous from Italy? His hat was sensational though, and I could see how it could inspire a Project Runway challenge--- take this hate and use it as inpsiration for a modern look for a woman that is going on a date to an Italian vineyard? I I will also say that the place had little sandwich boards (not made out of wood) but those that hold flyers within adverstiing their different sandwiches, or more accurately, spotlighting some of their sandwiches. This I felt was a tad tacky because it was Subway adjacent! And I do not mean the red line, I mean the Subway artist shop that I consider budget forward. And. a place like this should be lux forward only. I am sure Lira would say Si! again to my comment.

We arrived a little early for our reservation, and even though they were busy, they seated us right away outside. Our table was along the walkway, which wouldn't necessarily be my first choice next time, but I appreciated that they got us settled without making us wait around. The outdoor area had a relaxed neighborhood feel, and it was nice being outside while the evening was warm. We started with the Fiori di Zucca. The squash blossoms were stuffed with ricotta and Parmigiano, lightly fried, and served with marinara. They were good, although they weren't the dish I found myself thinking about afterward. That honor goes to the mussels. I wasn't expecting them to be my favorite thing we ordered, but they absolutely were. The broth was flavorful enough that I kept going back to it after the mussels were gone, which is usually my personal test for whether a mussel dish has done its job. We also shared the Pappardelle alla Vaccinara with braised oxtail ragù, Parmigiano, and rosemary oil. The ragù had a deep, meaty flavor, and I liked how the rosemary oil cut through some of the richness. It was a solid pasta, but the mussels still won the night for me. My cocktail was light and refreshing, with cucumber and mint, and worked especially well with dinner outside. Everything we ordered was flavorful, and the meal made for a lovely belated birthday dinner. Parking around this stretch of 3rd can be a little tricky. I ended up finding street parking a few blocks away, but Oste does offer valet, which would have saved me the neighborhood parking hunt. For a first visit, I'm glad I finally got to try Oste. It was a relaxed, flavorful dinner and a really nice way to celebrate a belated birthday.

If it's not during Dine LA, I would likely not come back. Little did we know there was a very obvious explanation for not being full for a Sunday dinner despite the gorgeous patio being perfect for romantic dates. Overall 4 stars: 5 stars for ambiance 4 stars for service 3 stars for food Got the: 1. Toscana (7/10): - This salad was wilted by the time it got to us and not crispy anymore, so we suspect it's been sitting out for a while. - Would've been a 9/10 If it was served fresh 2. Pappardelle Al Tartufo Bianco (+$20 to add lobster pieces) 7/10: - the pasta (9/10) was good, and the doneness was perfect for fresh pasta. - Unfortunately the lobster (4/10) left a lot to be desired. The lobster meat was severely overcooked to the point of being almost rubbery and there were several small shells in the pasta dish. - The waiter must've noticed the pile of shells I made because he whisked away the plate the second I finished so I wasn't able to take a picture. 3. Filet di Manzo (5/10): - the filet was over cooked, which is starting to seem like an overarching theme. We ordered medium RARE and received medium WELL. - This would ordinarily be sent back to the kitchen in any reputable steakhouse, but we gave them a break for not being a steakhouse - the sauce was on the bitter side and this dish was paired with broccoli rabe instead of the advertised spinach so the dish was not balanced at all, just overwhelmingly bitter. Unfortunately this was the worst dish of the night. 4. Il Branzino (7.5/10): - the Branzino fish was not dry but also not moist. I'd say it's pretty typical for Italian cooking, just not flavorful either. It needs a tasty sauce to really add some depth - instead of the advertised zucchini, it came with spinach - It was soft enough for the palate of my grandparents 5. Panna Cotta (9.5/10): - wow, I can't believe the best dishes of the night were the desserts! - Panna cotta was very well balanced with the fruits. Without the fruits and fruit syrup topping, the vanilla bean panna cotta would've be too rich - did not come with the advertised candied rose petals, but this dessert was so well executed that it didn't matter 6. Tiramisu (9/10): - light and fluffy, it was executed well with chocolate shavings on top - a little bitter from the coffee (they advertise that the lady fingers were "lightly dipped in espresso" which my taste buds find hard to believe) but they did have a berry compote on the side to balance it out. - Personally I wish it was not served with berry compote as I believe the advertised mascarpone may been a better pairing Parking: valet only but there's street parking down the street and all around if you're willing to walk up to a block

There are other locations but this I think was the first one and since it was the one I frequented it's the one I will miss. I have so many fond memories of this restaurant. I came here as a little girl with my family because it was casual enough for a well mannered child but fancy enough to please the adults. One time I decided to get into shape. Every time someone asked me out for lunch or dinner I said I wanted to go to Il Fornaio. I would order a bowl of the vegetable soup or vegetarian soup of the day and the Regina Salad. The salad did wild arugula, couscous, avocado, red onions, capers, raisins, and lemon oil dressing. It was a fabulous and filling meal that also kept me skinny. I could honestly eat it every day and never get bored. During Covid I came here and we ate outside on the sidewalk. We enjoyed watching the pedestrian scene and "staying safe" while being able to eat out again. I really missed going out and I felt comfortable here which was important during Covid time. Every Halloween Il Fornaio would have 1/2 price pizza. My family made a tradition to order it. I LOVED this tradition and I'm going to miss it this Halloween. Their pizza was delicious. One time I came here with a boyfriend because they had a cooking class in the back. They had a huge entertainment room in the back of the restaurant. I wish I had a chance to have a special event here to rent it out. We had so much fun as we watched the chef talk about how to prepare each dish and what was even better is that we got to taste it in the end. We ate seabass with golden raisins, baked pasta with eggplant, and a cannoli for dessert. They even had a party souvenir which was an Il Fornaio plate to hang on the wall. Last time I came here was on the Fourth of July last year. It was also dine-la and they had the best deal of any of the dine-la restaurants. Not all the dine-la deals are good but this one truly was one of the best in terms of value for money. It was a three course meal with the most delicious fish entree. Who doesn't love a good deal? We had a fabulous time! Lastly, in recent years they added a happy hour menu to the restaurant and it was fabulous. I did another review on that so I'll keep it short here but the food and drinks were just wonderful. I will miss the friendly waiters who have been there forever. They don't make them like that anymore. Arrivederci to a true "classic"!

Sauce was good, beef was tender. Spicy Pomodoro - $29 (4.5/5) Now this is the plate that everyone has been talking about. It is actually very good. The pasta is perfectly cooked, and the sauce compliments the pasta so well. There was a lil dollop of riccotta on top and made the entire thing very creamy. Didnt read the ingredients, but the truffle tasted sooo good mixed into the pasta. Not full score bc it was good, but not something I would remember for years on end. Sweet Corn Agnolotti - $28 (1000/5) OK NOW THIS ONE oh my god this is genuinely the best pasta ive ever tasted. The server recommened this one and we decided to try it. CORN AND THE WHATEVER IT IS IN THERE. Some sort of engineering food genius created this masterpeice. I ate so slow because every single bite of the agnolotti was like heaven. The first bite I had I almost cried. Genuinely a masterpiece. Ive never had pasta that tasted like that. Every single ingredient in that dish was curated to perfection. PERFETLY COOKED PERFECTLY SEASONED. I would drive all the way here JUST for this dish. Hands down the best pasta Ive tried in my life and I am a foodie in LA!! THIS IS A MUST GET SO UNDERRATED VIBES: Amazing service, no parking at all! You either will have to wrap around and get lucky or do vallet, which wasnt too expensive. The vibes here are great though, it was pretty small, with only counter seating, and it is combined with another restaruant, Cento Raw Bar. I thought it was popular, but on a Sat night, it wasnt too busy. No reservation, waited around 10-15 mins, but we chilled at the Cento Raw Bar and got an appetizer. Would def come back, but it is a bit pricey!

    We came here for my birthday dinner and ordered a number of items…read more To start, we got the Caesar salad and mussels. The salad was actually really good but the mussels lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend the mussels. Then we shared the carbonara and the spicy pomodoro. My friend really liked the carbonara but personally I thought it was okay. The spicy pomodoro was fantastic though. The right amount of flavor and creaminess. I can see why this is their best dish. To finish we got the banana pudding tiramisu. Honestly this was just okay. I heard so many rave reviews about this but maybe it was an off night but I've definitely have had better elsewhere.

    My experience at Spago's in Beverly Hills was absolutely amazing. The food far exceeded my…read moreexpectations with respect to flavor, seasoning and presentation. I ordered the Brazino and the braised Short Ribs. I've had Brazino at various locations in the past and without question, this was the best I've had thus far. It was extremely large and sat atop a dark colored delicious sauce which, was outstanding. The short ribs were tender, had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. Other than the food being exceptional and the table service on point, the highlight of the evening was when owner, operator and celebrity Chef Wolfgang Puck stopped by to say hello and inquired about my meal. This spoke volumes of his commitment to customer satisfaction and his willingness to interact with those who visit his establishment. Well done!

    I really wanted to be wowed by Spago. With the Wolfgang Puck name, the reputation, and the price…read morepoint, expectations are naturally high. Unfortunately, my experience landed more in the "it was fine" category than memorable fine dining. The evening started promisingly with cocktails and beautifully presented small bites. Presentation throughout dinner was polished, and there's no question that a lot of thought goes into how everything arrives at the table. The bread service was elaborate and visually impressive, and several of the smaller bites were interesting. But as the meal progressed, I kept waiting for that one dish that would make me understand the hype. The truffle pizza certainly looked luxurious--and they weren't shy with the truffles--but even that didn't deliver the knockout flavor I expected. It was good. Just...good. At this level, I was expecting something I'd still be talking about the next day. That's really how I felt about the overall meal. Nothing was necessarily bad. The ingredients seemed high quality, the plating was sophisticated, and the experience had all the elements of upscale dining. It simply didn't translate into food that excited me. And when you're dining at a restaurant with Spago's reputation, "just okay" feels more disappointing than it would somewhere else. Service and atmosphere were polished, but ultimately I'm reviewing the entire experience relative to the expectations and price point. I'm glad I finally experienced Spago for myself, but would I rush back? Probably not. There are too many exceptional restaurants where I've left genuinely excited about what I just ate.

    I've been to Mother Wolf a few times now for business lunches, girls' nights, and birthday…read morecelebrations, and it's become one of those places I'm always happy to go back to. The dining room has a polished, old-world feel with deep red banquettes, mirrored walls, oversized floral arrangements, chandeliers, and the open kitchen glowing in the background. It feels grand without being stiff, and once the room fills up, there's a real buzz to it. The Fiori di Zucca are probably my favorite thing on the menu. I could eat these squash blossoms for the rest of my life and remain completely at peace with that decision. They're stuffed with ricotta and Parmigiano, fried until crisp, and they somehow disappear from the table very quickly. The Burrata e Crudo is another automatic order for me. Creamy burrata, prosciutto, basil, olive oil. Simple, excellent, and usually gone once everyone starts sharing. For pasta, I almost always come back to the Rigatoncini alla Vaccinara with oxtail ragù, guanciale, peperoncino, and pecorino. It's rich and comforting and one of those dishes I look forward to ordering again. I also love the Spaghetti all'Arrabbiata when I want something with a little heat. The tomato sauce is bright and punchy, with just enough spice to keep me going back for another bite. I've had the pizza and liked it, but if I have limited room, I'm choosing the pasta. Their cocktails are consistently good. Their espresso martini has made more than one appearance at my table, and at this point I consider us to be in a committed relationship. Service has been solid across my visits, and they offer valet, which I appreciate because Hollywood parking has never once tried to make anyone's evening easier. Mother Wolf has become a repeat for me, whether I'm there for work, dinner with friends, or celebrating something. And yes, I'm ordering the squash blossoms again.

    I finally made it to Mother Wolf after all the hype went down, and it was a pretty good experience:…read more What I ordered: - margherita d'angeleno cocktail ($17) this had tequila, fresno chili, agave and lime so essentially an Italian spicy margarita, which was good - sfincione ($13) this focaccia bread was almost more like a dinner roll than a typical focaccia, but was still very light and pillowy - ruchetta salad ($18) aka arugula salad, with the appropriate amount of cheese (a cheese mountain on top) - fiori di zucca ($28) the infamous squash blossoms!! they came out piping HOT and were full of the ricotta filling. they were fried perfectly and were super crispy, but I kind of wanted a sauce to dip it in or have it drizzed over. for as much as everyone raves about them, they're good and I'd order again if I went back, but I wouldn't go back just for them - fusilli al cinghiale pasta ($39) wild boar ragu fusilli pasta: this was good but I couldn't tell it was boar. our server really recommended this but quite honestly I had forgotten we even ordered this.. - tonnarelli cacio e pepe ($26) I'd say this is one of the best cacio e pepe's I've had in LA, the pasta itself was perfectly al dente and the perfect size for this dish. very black pepper forward and a bit on the saucier side (vs more dry iterations), but I personally loved that - dessert: tiramisu, passionfruit gelato, and cookies & cream gelato the tiramisu was very solid, the passionfruit gelato had fresh passionfruit seeds and was well balanced in its tartness + sweetness, and you can't go wrong with cookies & cream We did have a nightcap + dessert at the hidden speakeasy, Bar Avoja - which was BEAUTIFUL. The decor, ambiance, vibes, all 10/10. The cocktails were pricier there but more elevated than the ones at the restaurant. Overall, while everything was pretty solid, I wouldn't say anything was exceptional or really stood out, especially given the $$$$ price. It's worth a visit once (for like a nice dinner/date night spot), and if I were to go back I'd try the pizza or larger entrees, but I'd more likely go back to the bar itself for just a drink (with apps/dessert).
