    The carbonara with guanciale and yolk.  Authentic. 5.25.26.
    Will S.

    Echo Park, Los Angeles. Came in on a holiday Monday and was surprised was able to get a table. It's usually packed in here and whenever I attempted to make a reservation it didn't quite work out. I was seated efficiently by the host and proceeded to tell me that we order everything at once and that was no problem for us. Bacetti is set up like an open kitchen, lots of tables with a battalion of chefs in the back cooking up a storm. It was pretty cool to watch. There are outside tables also. The bar area is for overflow but only serves snacks. Our wait person was super polite. Now the food. There was a little bit of a wait, but that was not a problem. We decided to get the broccolini and the carbonara. If we were still hungry, we had our eyes on one of the main dishes. The broccolini came, and it was probably the most delicious preparation I've had in the states. It was loaded with garlic, and nuts , really good ingredients really good olive oil and it was cooked very very well. Next up was the carbonara with guanciale and egg yolk. The rigatoni was nicely chewy and the sauce was perfectly made. This filled us up. We were very impressed with the authenticity of the dishes and how well-made they were. Desserts looked appetizing but a bit predictable. Will try next time tho. Gratuity at 20% for checks. Love Bacetti. Coming back. End of Yelp.

    Came by on a Monday night and got seated immediately as a walk-in. The highlights of our meal was surprisingly not the pasta, but the caesar salad that came with anchovies and the ricotta stuffed squash blossoms (I'm surprised they have this on the menu!!) that absolutely knocked it out of the park. I'll be long thinking of those. Beautiful natural lighting into the warm atmosphere (both indoor/outdoor seating available) with lovely service.

    Such a cute place! I loved their decor and their outfits! Everyone was super friendly and my waitress was very attentive. The pasta was so so good and I loved the texture of the noodle. I would give them a 4.5 rather than a 5 because of the crudo, it was good but the passata was a bit too acidic, almost too much so to be palatable. I still really enjoyed the evening and they have amazing presentation. Highly recommend and would return. It's also fairly easy to find street parking for free which I always like. FANTASTIC drinks here too!

    Really cute restaurant with a great vibe and a simple but well-curated menu, but the food was disappointing. The two pasta dishes we ordered were flavorless, the salad was just okay, and the focaccia was overly greasy and overpowered by rosemary. Basically, none of the dishes we ordered met even my basic expectations.

    One half of the nice couple at the next table. Overall, a great-looking crowd.

    Okay I gotta say I'm getting tired of giving 5 star reviews, but then i realize for these kinds of things (restaurants for special occasions) we get recommendations from our foodie kids and friends and they are seldom wrong. This place was recommended by my step-daughter, and it was fantastic. I asked for a cozy table for my wife's birthday, and we were seated in a nice little booth by the kitchen on a cold night in January. The dining room is gorgeous, with a lot of nice different areas. The couple next to us were also friendly, as a bonus. Everyone nearby seemed to be really enjoying their dining experience. My step-daughter made us promise to order the focaccia. We're not big bread eaters, but thank goodness we got this. I'm not even sure it's technically focaccia, but it's freakin' delicious! We also shared a radicchio salad, the campanelle pasta (all pastas are house-made) and the steak tartare. Okay, my wife's a vegetarian so I ate the whole tartare myself and it was amazing. I mean, truly perfect. The server was wonderful and recommended a perfect red for my meal (by the glass, the mrs. doesn't drink), and then we decided to have the affogato, which went by being delivered to the kitchen table and was one of the best we've ever had. So, 5 stars, no asterisk! Can't wait for another special occasion to go back.

    Cavatelli
    Alyanna J.

    Wow. This place is a well deserved 5 star Focaccia Ebraica - The best thing on the menu. An absolute must have. You can't get this anywhere else, it's popular for a reason. For pasta we got the Cavatelli, Rigatoni alla Carbonara, and the Malfadine. Every single one was delicious and creamy. It's beyond expectations. Service was fast and easy and the Ambiance is wonderful. It's the perfect dinner spot. I highly recommend to anyone who's a fan of Italian.

    Short rib pasta
    Davy K.

    It was a cute, charming restaurant. Very Echo-park hipster vibe. Service was friendly and food was good. They had a small menu that hits all the basics. We started with a Caesar salad, shared the short rib pasta, a branzino, and an affogato. Everything was good, but it wasn't as creative or new or different as I would have liked. Parking was hard, but they do have valet.

    Focaccia. Must-try!
    Karren D.

    What a gem in Echo Park! Right off the bat this is a perfect place for a datenight. Great ambiance with modern decor and beautiful high vaulted ceiling. I was treating my friend out for her birthday on a thursday night. She recommended this place as she was here before. For drinks, bday girl got her favorite TWO-KISS SPRITZ and I got a glass of GLS Rocco di Carpeneto Afaja which was crisp and refreshing. The FOCACCIA EBRAICA with taggiasca olives, currants, rosemary, and sea salt was memorable. It looked like a cinnamon roll. Great to start with! Their seasonal KABOCHA SQUASH with pomegranates, balsamic drizzle, basil and hazelnuts was delicious! For mains, we got the MAFALDINE RAGU and BRANZINO. The mafaldine with the short rib ragu was "chef's kiss" - definitely a must-try! The branzino was good but underwhelming compared to the mafaldine . My friend raved about both dishes but I would skip on the branzino. The squash and the mafaldine were standouts in terms of flavor and texture that they both eclipsed the branzino. We were so full that we didn't order dessert. Chelsie was our waitress and she was nice, courteous, and attentive. Parking wasn't easy though. I lucked out on street parking nearby.

    Indoor seating

    This review is specifically for the newly opened Bar Bacetti, which used to be Tilda. Bacetti is one of my favorite spots in Echo Park. It's in a gorgeous location on Echo Park Ave, and they constructed a beautiful outdoor setup during COVID, which has remained. The Bar next door is really romantic and intimate, with a handful of indoor tables in the front and a few more dramatically-styled tables in the back room. They have an aperitivo hour from 3-5p during the week in which you can get a snack with any drink. I opted for the stuffed peppers, which were a perfect complement to my uniquely crafted Aperol Spritz. The drink wasn't filled to the top, which was slightly off-putting due to the prices, but seeing other drinks come out from behind the bar, it seemed like that just might be their practice. As a second snack, I ordered the meatballs, which were fried and crazy tasty. They served a very generous portion, and it was so filling, I didn't need to order anything else. I will continue to frequent this spot, and will branch out to try different dishes and drinks in the future.

No detail is overlooked. Beautiful design -- reminds me of what your Italian grandma's dining room would look like if she had great taste. We took a Lyft since the parking situation is tough (but there is a paid lot down the street) and we were running late.I called and left message that we were running 15 minutes late and they got my voicemail and they were great about. Table was available right away. Cocktails were impressive - and we started with a dirty martini and a Negroni blanco. The garlic bread made with Bub & Grandma's bread is a clear winner. Our server Emerson was top notch and steered us through the menu and drinks and was informative and friendly as very professional. When he'd walk through dining room, he was scanning to see if anyone was trying to catch his eye. And when I did he came right over. None of this look straight ahead stuff I sometimes see when it's a busy night. You can get out of Donna's for a reasonable price if you stick to garlic bread, salad and one of their excellent pasta dishes (5 of the dishes are in the $25-$28 range). We splurged and got the scampi (from France) what a sauce, truffle gnocchi, amazing chicken Marsala with amazing mushroom sauce $32) and the Cesar salad was delicious and not mailed in. We ordered 1 dessert (panna cotta with pistachio brittle and fresh figs) and they brought a tiramisu and tiny glasses of their own limoncello out on the house. We also tried 1 glass of their special vermouth since we are vermouth lovers. A++++ experience all round and it was a high level of ingredients and food -- chef and his team are top notch. I now need to find out who's the chef in that kitchen because they've built an excellent team. Donna's slyly calls itself just a "red sauce Italian restaurant" but I'd say that's a real understatement...and I think it's a great date night or small group place because it's intimate and you can hear your table partners talk. I don't recall any music playing - just the warm brown background noise of fun conversation. We ate early (my preference these days) and if you don't see any openings for reservations, ask Resy to give you an alert -- you'll get notified when reservations open up. Emerson said they always hold some tables for walk ins. PS -- I normally don't leave such long reviews, but I have some friends who are chefs and who own restaurants - and when I see other Yelp reviews where someone leaves a one star because the hostess was allegedly rude when everything else is great -- I just hate to see how it can affect a restaurant. I have no relationship with this restaurant at all. I don't know any anyone who works in it or owns any part of it, but I just don't like to see people abuse the reviews -- the restaurant business is tough as it is. And as someone who has worked downtown and driven through Echo Park for 30 years - I think Donna's is a great addition to Echo Park.

It wasn't until I was able to get a straight answer from the second server I asked that I was able to confirm they served me the wrong one. The veggie lasagne had potential but it was absolutely smothered in soooooo much cheese (yes even for a lasagne) that it truly felt like a thick stringy choking hazard - the cheese became super tacky/sticky. I did not find that their food quality matched their prices. I truly don't understand how they have such a good rating, so I came here to give my honest assessment for future patrons to weigh as well.
