    Prosciutto di Parma DOP Sandwich
    Star J.

    I have been craving pa-shoot (Brooklyn accent) for the past month. I'm so glad I decided to satisfy that craving here. The staff was welcoming and lovely. I was fortunate enough to have a server named Arion meaning "moon creature on high." If you meet him you will understand how fitting that name is. Positive vibrations yeah! Positive! I usually don't like doing sidewalk seating but this place makes the sidewalk kinda grotto-like. When I ordered the cappuccino to go from here some time back I found it a little diluted but the one I had today was perfection. And omg that prosciutto burrata arugula balsamic sandwich! Yesssssssss...

    Angelini Alimentari is honestly a breath of fresh air. We last minute yelped a spot to eat in the neighborhood we were in and boy are we glad that we did! It is a cute little cafe and very very Italian. The food itself is delicious! The chopped salad was bomb, the prosciutto toast was delicious, and the pasta was very simple yet still amazing. The best was the porchetta! Maybe you only care about dessert. Well, I am happy to say that the gelato was also great! Very velvety and caramel-y. Not super sweet which is a plus in my book. The people at angelina alimentari are amazingly nice. They have a few high chairs and the back area is very kid friendly.

    Amazing pistachio gelato topped with chopped pistachios and honeycomb candy! The gelato was so delicious, not too sweet, and the perfect consistency. The chopped pistachios added a nice crunch and the honeycomb was definitely a nice addition. The portion size was also generous! It was a perfect treat to enjoy on a warm spring day.

    This review is for the gelato and pastries and I have one thing to say... Ahmazing! The gelato was creamy and rich. We tried three different flavors: hazelnut, mixed berry, and mint chocolate chip. They were all so delicious that it's hard to name a favorite but I am ruling hazelnut the winner. The pastries were also delicious. Perfect sizes too. They were rich so too much could send you straight into a food coma with little chance of making a comeback. I also want to note how wonderful the employees were. I walked in with two kids and they were beyond nice to the kiddos. Loaded us all up on so many samples and they did it with huge smiles on their faces and even asked us what we though. Based on the quality of both food and service I am definitely coming back soon to try the breakfast and brunch plates. I imagine that they must be amazing. Oh and it's street parking so have change for the meter!

    We came here Sunday for lunch. No dine in at the formal interior at lunch time yet. The courtyard tables were all taken; but it's equally relaxing sitting at an outdoor sidewalk table, right across the street from the famed El Coyote. Our pets loved to people watch from the comfy artificial lawn. Service was professional and brisk. The Antipasti of tricolore and arugula salads were fresh and refreshing. The Bolognese pasta was exceptional with wonderful house tagliatelle soaking up the perfectly seasoned meaty ragu. The Pasta Norma with Eggplant was equally delizioso! The breakfast eggs purgatorio came with a superb pomodoro sauce. Our side order of crunchy garlic bread was just the right to mop up all the sauces The tuna panino was very good as well. Great food, great service made it a wonderful lunch!

    Ok so, everyone knows and loves the evening option...Angelini Osteria. That's a FACT. Let's now talk about the amazing day time option...Angelini Alimentari! Stopped by for a quick lunch on my way to the west side and I'm so happy I did! I had the chopped salad which was absolutely amazing. My friend got the salmon plate it's a gorgeous looking plate and so healthy. Really high quality food. Finished off the meal with an espresso and Nutella chocolate tart in the front patio seating area. Both were delicious. Plenty of street parking in the area and quick service. Can't wait to go back this weekend have brunch or lunch again! So many things to try on the menu and if I had to bet- all of them are probably delicious. Enjoy!

    Perfect for this hot summer day! The pistachio is my fave but this new lemon pear sorbet is hot fire.

    Now open for dinner!!! :) I have been to Osteria next door several times, but it is difficult to get reservations and is so crowded! Before they opened for dinner, I'd pass by the Alimentari space and it was so cute that I was sad that they don't open till later - I'm so glad that they decided to! They have some of the same items on the menu for dinner at Alimentari, like the lasagna verde (which I always order for people who are trying Angelini for the first time) and the tagliolini al limone. Some of my fave items (lunch or dinner) are the chop salad, porchetta sandwich, hanger steak (tastes smoky because of all the cocoa powder and dark stuff they rub it with), and meatballs! I have a strange pork and meatball obsession so my faves may be a little skewed. XP It looks like I will have to take a pic of the menu the next time I go and post it on yelp. Hope that helps people! Parking is pretty available around the area. I love the outdoor space - super cute for brunch/lunch and it's not so crowded like other brunch places. Great food, great coffee, Zumex OJ, great pastries, awesome gelato - it is perfect! The lattes are so so so good here. and their pink cups are so cute. :P I also broke my diet to eat their cannoli once. T_T

    Hanger steak
    Jimmy D.

    My friends live by here and wanted to stop by for a quick lunch. When you walk in, you get this cafe/diner feel to it but with a more modern and welcoming look to it. I love the open kitchen where you can see them prepping the food. I tried the Chicken Battuta Panino and it was prepared really well. The chicken breast was moist, the avocado gave it a nice creamy texture, the crispiness from the bacon gave it a nice texture without overpowering it, and the ciabatta was light enough to hold it together. I tried some of my other friends' food and it had the same style to it. We liked this place so much that we can back the next day to try some more of their food. I tried the Hanger Steak Piadina and it also did not disappoint. The steak was cooked to a nice medium, it broke apart on every bite, not leaving pieces meatless areas in the panino and the simple flavors of the argula and cherry tomatoes were complementing. The food didn't taste heavy and was very well prepared. The staff is all super friendly and they even remembered us from the previous day. The food did not take long to come out either. Seating is limited here with maybe 10 seats inside, a front and rear patio. This place is fairly new, so I can only see it getting busier as it gains popularity. i'll be back here for more when I come visit my friends.

    Best gelato in town!

    I love this little extension of its parent, Angelini Osteria, right next door. You can't miss this place with the giant ice cream cone sculpture in front screaming for a selfie. Staff is warm and generous. There is a great selection of Italian food products for you to take home like the limone cream sauce. Fresh baked pastries are like little treasures, delicate and delicious. If you're craving their famous Lasagna Verde, you can grab it here for dining in or takeout. But can we talk about their gelato? I'm an ice cream queen and have been disappointed by the gelato scene in LA. All I can say is that I'm glad this place closes early and is not too close to me or I'd be gaining weight in ice cream every day. The sweet, cold dessert is made in-house by Ezio Perego. There are no BS flavors with chocolate sauce drizzles and other crap that scream American candy bar! Flavors are rich, natural with a smooth consistency. It's the BEST I've had outside of Europe. Must flavors to try: mint chocolate chip with real mint mixed in, gianduja (chocolate hazelnut) or the nocciola (hazelnut), and pistacchio. Grazie to Gino (co-owner/manager)! You know I'll be back often. Might I suggest a gelateria that's open through the night in the future?

    Small dainty spot that looks nice inside. I would avoid going in a large party due to it's small occupancy. Food SALMON SANDWICH - avocado, lettuce, mayo, smoked salmon on toasted bread. This dish is amazing. Tastes so delicious and is not too salty and not too bland. The avocado definitely made it really great. Would order it again. MEATBALL SUB - standard meatball sub on ciabatta bread and cheese. Sandwich was a bit dry and did not taste too good. Was told that this is a popular item and it was disappointing. Dessert Gelato & Nutella Cannoli- Gelato was pretty decent. Would recommend pistachio and the cannoli was really yummy.

    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.

Flourless chocolate cake was amazing . We look forward coming back, the patio was really cute and offered shade and made us feel like we were transported to much calmer atmosphere (love downtown la though ) Above all else , every single staff member we encountered made the experience amazing , we will definitely be back.

The menu is inviting with plenty of great options without being overwhelming. 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. Recommendation: come with a group of at least 4 to try more on the menu -- the large plates (branzino and ribeye) looked excellent! Definitely a worthwhile visit.

We came on a Thursday night as a group of four and the place was pretty busy. From everything I've heard, Cento is one of the more popular pasta spots in LA right now, so I was excited to finally try it. We started with the radicchio salad which was delicious. Light, refreshing, and tangy, a great way to start the meal. For pasta, we ordered the Spicy Pomodoro, Sweet Corn Agnolotti, Broccoli Bucatini, and the Cavatelli Finocchio. Honestly, it was hard to pick a favorite because every single one was excellent. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, the sauces were flavorful, and each dish felt unique. My only complaint is that the portions are a little small. I understand they're meant for sharing, but to be honest I probably could have eaten all four by myself. At around $30 per plate, this definitely isn't a cheap meal. One thing that was a little disappointing was that it was my fiancée's birthday and I had noted it on the reservation. We noticed another table receiving what looked like a special birthday dessert, but nothing was mentioned for us. My fiancée didn't want me to ask about it, so we just let it go and ended up getting dessert elsewhere. Not a huge deal, but it was a bit of a letdown. That said, the food itself was absolutely outstanding. If you're a pasta lover, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Dropped by on a Saturday evening with my brother, no reservation. I was worried we'd be stuck waiting for an hour or more for a table but we were seated in less than ten minutes, despite the fact that it was a full house. The menu has an interesting assortment of traditional Italian pastas, Japanese classics, and Japanese-Italian fusion dishes. It's not a huge menu, but is just the right size to have a number of dishes I wish I could've tried all at once. I went with the bacon and mushrooms Japanese style sauce, which was a dashi and soy sauce base with bacon and mushrooms and a garnish of grated radish and nori. This was incredibly delicious, unique, and a true blend of Japanese and Italian flavors. The bacon was phenomenal and there was a generous amount on the plate. My brother got the arrabbiata. He asked them to not make it very spicy, but it still had a good kick (I definitely wouldn't have asked for it to be milder, but to each their own). The flavors were rich. And in both dishes, the pasta was cooked perfectly. Dinner comes with a complimentary salad and rolls. Our food came out fast, and our server was friendly. The owners were really nice, welcoming people. I loved the vibe of this place, with its dim lighting and quiet, laidback atmosphere.

I'm sorry but the restaurant was at like 20% capacity. Also they messed up on part of our order. All and all we will not be returning again Also the gratin we ordered was very hard to eat.

We loved his energy, it wasn't over the top and it was very mellow, but also he was on top of everything and checked in with us and gave us great suggestions for drinks, appetizers, entrees.

We sat outside and our table featured a sofa as one of the seating options. We had the best girl dinner and were able to catch up over drinks and food and Candlelight and I didn't want to leave. I had the pizza, my sister had the filet mignon and one of us had the pasta . The calimari was good as the starter and they also had house bread which was so good. The Settecento pizza was my favorite and their pizzas are delicious, light, airy, full of flavor. My sister said her filet was ok but the mushroom sauce was delicious. For dessert, I believe we ordered the Tortino and the Tiramisu and both were great but the Tortino was a little better. I ordered the Toki Pona to drink and couldn't finish it but it was very good. Definitely recommend eating here to everyone. It's great food, ambiance and our server Angel took great care of us.

The linguine was good, but I wish it had a little more seafood than just clams. I'd say the dishes I enjoyed the most were the chicken parmesan and the vodka pasta. The cocktails were actually really good, and I appreciated that they had spritz-style mocktails too. The restaurant itself is cute, cozy, and has a nice atmosphere. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I can't say it was necessarily worth the hype.

    The best authentic Neapolitan pizza I've had in los Angeles. The crust was incredible, the cheese…read morewas perfect, and the arugula prosciutto pizza was outstanding. The Caesar salad was really good, and the branzino was honestly one of the best I've ever had - great presentation too. The kitchen staff in the back were some latino dudes but tbey clearly know what they're doing because the food tasted very authentic and well executed. I'm giving 3 stars for service because we waited way too long for our bottle of wine. When it finally came out, it wasn't the bottle I ordered, and our waitress Lauren insisted it was the same thing, which felt insulting because it was obviously not the same vintage - it was off by two years. At that point, I just wanted some wine already, so l let it go. That said, the ambiance was great, and the food alone makes this place worth visiting.

    Would I recommend this restaurant? Not really…read more From the outside, the restaurant looks okay and doesn't particularly stand out, but once you walk inside, it's very cute and nicely decorated. The atmosphere is pleasant. Sitting outside in their back patio was enjoyable, while the indoor dining area is cozy and aesthetically pleasing. Everything looks appealing and well-presented, but unfortunately, much of the food lacked flavor. I ordered the Pappardelle Genovese pasta, and although it looked delicious and had plenty of meat, it was surprisingly bland. I even added sea salt to try to enhance the flavor, but it was still only average. The pizza wasn't bad, but it's not something I would order again. The drinks were fine and looked cute, but nothing particularly memorable. My favorite item was the beet salad. It was delicious and well balanced, with mixed greens, goat cheese, hazelnuts, and a balsamic vinaigrette. That was definitely the standout dish of the meal. Overall, the ambiance, decor, and presentation were better than the food itself. While it's a nice place to visit and enjoy the atmosphere, I probably wouldn't return for the food.

Andrés was an absolute professional--his knowledge of the menu was outstanding, and his recommendations made the entire experience even better. He was attentive, personable, and clearly passionate about ensuring every guest had an exceptional meal. The food was spectacular.

Between the incredible food, impeccable service from Andrés, and vibrant atmosphere, it's easy to see why it's one of the best dining destinations in Los Angeles.

    A nice dinner spot to give a try if you are craving some good Italian food. I had a reservation but…read moreit didn't get very busy when I was there on a Saturday night. I know this place used to be pretty busy and booked but think the hype might've died down? But I love it cause I was able to enjoy dinner with my friends comfortably. We ordered the arugula salad, squash blossoms, bread, prawns in the salsa verde sauce, oxtail meatballs, the oxtail ragu pasta and carbonara pasta. The salad was delicious and the perfect start to the carb overload coming. It was the perfect amount of lemon that it wasn't overpowering. The squash blossoms were delicious! Definitely one of our top three dishes. The bread was airy and simple, but it was delicious. The prawns and the sauce. *Chef's kiss* The meatballs were delicious and definitely something unique and different. Definitely enjoyed that. The oxtail ragu pasta was delicious. The carbonara pasta was a little undercooked and the flavor wasn't there. It just tasted like butter and pasta.. that was probably our least favorite dish. Everything was good and would be back again to try maybe some other pastas or even the pizzas.
