Places like this are "real LA". Very cool ambiance; in and out. I was pretty psyched to find this cool little gem on my drive to LAX. Ordered the Minestrone for starter and Linguine with Clams for my entree. Food was piping hot and very tasty. I couldn't believe how many clams they put in the entree. This with a glass of chianti and a tip was $50. A very good value. read more

This must be the worst experience in customer service. Disgusted by the way my wife and I were spoken to as walk ins on a Tuesday night. Strangely enough, (or not) we experienced the same abhorrent attitude from their staff when we dined here last week for the first time (after moving into the area) but thought we would give it one more go. We will NOT be returning to this place. They need a reminder they are in the SERVICE industry. There is NO excuse for this rude and disrespectful behavior IN ANY INDUSTRY. DO NOT DINE HERE read more

Small,cozy,friendly and affordable. Only thing that stuck out to me was the neglect of the men's bathroom. I've been in gas station bathrooms that have been cleaner. I will definitely return to this restaurant, our server was excellent! read more

Nice place. Old school Italian. We had excellent cocktails. Followed by really great soup. Then a house salad. My veal picatta was the best cooked veal I have ever had It was very tender. Still, I need a little more lemon. My wife enjoyed her eggplant parmigiana. The only draw back was the large serving on sauce overwhelmed the breading canceling its crispiness. The large serving of sambuca I had after dinner was very nice. The service was attentive and pleasant. read more

I'm not sure why I like this place so much, but I do. There's nothing really special about this place, but the friendly atmosphere and good home-style Italian food gets me every time. First, their bread. Amazing. They bring a huge basket of different kinds of fresh bread to your table, along with the usual olive oil / vinegar. I've had a few dishes here--mostly either chicken or veal. I love both. I'm a huge veal fan, and all of the different dishes I've ordered with veal have been really good. For what it is, their prices aren't too bad either! Good for a nice quiet local date if you don't want to break the bank. read more

Still trying to figure out if I really had this experience. Let me first make it clear that I really do not mind spending money on good food. I do not care if a basic pasta with no meat and a soda is $22. Value also comes in the quality of the recipe, ingredients, service, location, ambiance....etc. If all I care about is the substance of the food, then I will stay home and drink a protein shake or eat a salad. With this being said, I am appalled at both the service and quality of food at this restaurant. I asked for a garlic-lemon sauce on angel hair pasta which the server said they could make. Upon receiving my food, all I got was a fist and a half size of angel hair pasta with barely any olive oil but at least enough toasted garlic to taste garlic. That is it. For $22. No sign of lemon taste or even scent of citrus at all; basically a meal I can make for under $2 at home. The soda was $4.50 but no one came to check on me so there was no refill. I did get some bread with oil and vinegar which had more taste than the pasta. The server only came back to pick up the dishes once I was done eating, so I then just asked for the check. The sever's demeanor was rude and almost condescending, with him predominantly answering the couple questions I asked in a brisk, almost authoritative tone, yet straight from under his nose while he had already managed to churn to his side and begin walking away from me before he could even begin, let alone finish, answering. Please note that I was one of two customers, so it's not like it was super busy and they were perhaps short-staffed. My advice is that if you have more than one question, you will have to get his attention again. I was also not getting any reception for whatever reason, I have no clue why as my phone always works in that area, and so I asked for the wifi password, to which I was met with a stringent answer of "we don't wifi!" coming from what seemed to be his shoulder since he was already walking away. Very unpleasant and unprofessional service, and a complete rip off as far as the quality of the food. I can make a better pasta myself at home and avoid the rudeness. This experience left me feeling a bit confused if anything. Definitely not going back. read more

This is our go to neighborhood Italian Restaurant. Ambiance: family style with eclectic decorations. The ceiling is muraled up and there is a mix of live plants, mementos and pictures decorating the place. The bar is a quaint spot for waiting for a table or to go food. Food: It's all freshly prepared. the soup and salad (comes with the complete meals) is homemade. their past dishes are pretty solid if you are in for the carb overload. The meat and seafood dishes are great. I recommend the veal dishes and the Ala Broginos is a treat if you like scallops. I also like the Shrimp Asparagus. The Osso Bocco is a rich bowl of lamb shanks in a simmered broth. Drinks: They do have a full bar with some interesting mixes of wines. They also have a few house specialty drinks. My favorite happens to the "hot and dirty" martini. It's a dirty martini with a shot of jalapeño juice. Parking is usually not a problem but they do a have small lot. if it's full you'll be searching fo ra spot on Artesia. The staff is friendly and helpfull. Every once i a while the read more

Very close to 5 stars! As a regular of this establishment, I am compelled to review it here on yelp. The food is always fantastic! As an Italian with New York in my blood, I have to say this is the best Italian Food in the South Bay. The waitresses remember you, your treated well and your never bombarded with screaming children or kids running around. The restaurant is very small but somehow seats roughly 75 pretty comfortably! When they are busy, the service can be a little slow. That is why i gave them 4 stars. Other than that, never one complaint! Food is always hot, delicious and served with a smile. The portions are awesome, the ambiance is romantic and parking sucks. Its all worth it, time and time and time again! read more

I am putting this review because my husband and I are so thrilled we found you! We had no idea you relocated. When you were in Belmont shores we went regularly. Can't wait to to dine at your place in redondo, it's been years. Every time we drive by your old place we always state how much we missed your place. Will be there soon!!! Actually just made a reservation for November 5. Hubby's birthday! read more

One word to describe this place: SLOW! The service is slow and it takes forever for the staff to even acknowledge you, let alone take your order. The food takes an incredibly long time to come out even when the restaurant is only about half full and it's not even very good. The meatballs taste funky, the meat sauce is dry and 50% onions. Forget about calling in an order or ordering through doordash or postmates. The order has never been ready even in the ball park of the time I was given and they have missed items on orders. This place has had more than enough chances. It's amazing how they are still in business. If you come here and have a bad experience and wonder, "maybe it was just this one time" I can tell you that it isn't just that one time. read more

If I can give it a negative star it would earn a5 I used to come with my family every Friday 20 years ago and the food was great tonight we came first thing we did as we sat down we explained to the server that we have a baby and an elderly person and placed their order we had the appetizers, soup was like dishwasher water the first order came in last I am sure that the management has changed definitely our last time be aware the cooks don't know how to cook I'm sure that there is no chef , unless the cook calls himself a chef . read more

Finally got a chance to try this place after passing it a million times on my way to the pier. Rating this place 3 stars only because of the food. Everything else was 4 stars. Maybe it was an off night ‍ Ambience was great, service and staff were friendly and attentive, music was great, and even our soup, salad, and garlic bread were delish! But our main course was very disappointing, especially for the price. My husbands chicken was extremely dry and they tried to mask it with a gallon of sauce that tasted like it was straight out of a jar. My chicken picatta was VERY salty and not very appetizing. We're not ones to complain and send our food back so we just boxed up our food and went on our way. read more

It's a darker, dirtier, less comfortable, version of the Olive Garden. With food that is not that great but priced like it should be. On the plus side our service was very good. I need a good Italian restaurant East Coast style. Please!! read more

Love this place! I have been going here for over 10 years. The best fettuccine Alfredo in town!

This place has been right where it is, looking just like it does both inside and out, for 40 years!!! I have visited here often, but never ate here: always having Japanese. I needed to buy dinner to go for three people, and I had a real yen for linguine in a White clam sauce. Brogino's serves it. I ordered some, as well as carbonara, and a chicken, mushroom dish with angel hair. All three were very good ... The fifth is for the very pleasant way they handled my forgotten credit card, discovered when I was on a train, a thousand miles away !!!!!!!!!' read more

Fantastic food! Everything tasted very fresh and authentic. The garlic bread is so delicious. The prices are rather high, but the food was worth every penny. I thought the waiter was very friendly and kind. I could definitely tell that this is a family owned establishment, rather than a national chain. The decor is a little tacky and dated, but overall I had a great experience. I will be coming back very soon! read more

Dining Experience was awesome at Brogino's. Was able to make same-day reservations and no wait time when I arrived. Omar was an amazing host, other staff members Michael and Robert were very attentive as well. I have to admit the Alfredo sauce was the best I've had. read more

What I can say......AMAZING!! Food= SUPER delicious Service= Very Friendly. I've tried other Italian restaurants but this place tops it all!!!! Will definitely be going back there!! BTW try the Fettuccini Alfredo, Spaghetti, Lasagna, and Mushroom Scallapnini (sorry if I probably pronounced it wrong) they are delicious read more

I always drove by this place and one night my boyfriend and i decided try it out. The decor is very charming, and relaxing... I felt so comfortable and didn't want to leave. The waitress was very nice. We shared a very delicious chicken plate, The garlic bread is to die for. Reasonably priced. I'll be back soon! read more

This is a cute little Redondo gem that has a great, cozy ambiance, but unfortunately the food is subpar. Very bland food. Tried osso buco, side order of pasta, minestrone, bread sticks, and eggplant parmigiana... all very bland and devoid of flavor. Adding salt just made it saltier, but not tastier. Very little sense of any herbs being utilized in their dishes. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but I just wasn't impressed. I've had tastier food at Olive Garden, which isn't saying much. read more

As Mario Batali once famously said, "Italian food is to appear as if it has fallen from the fingers of the poet." He must have been talking about Brogino's when he said this. It is absolutely the BEST, mid-level priced Italian-American style restaurant in the South Bay area; perhaps in all of L.A.! I'm an East Coast boy, fresh to L.A. from Boston. My family grew up in the North End, the most traditional 'Little Italy' in the country. I come from a family of restaurant owners and chefs; and this place NAILS it! The ambiance is second to none; the most romantic little spot around, with lots of christmas & grape lights and a thousand little nicknacks all around. And the food? It looks and tastes like every Sunday afternoon meal I've ever eaten!! No fancy, shi-shi, $35.00 dishes of spaghetti (though the pricing is, of course, more expensive than your run-of-the-mill Italian chain). AND, may I note, that the tomato sauce is the best I've had in ANY restaurant here on the West coast. It tastes home-made; sweet and delicious (it is surprisingly difficult to actually find a decent marinara sauce, even on the East coast)! No fancy presentations; just food with a home-cooked taste and feel. If you're used to fancy, fushion style Italian, (which seems to be the 'in' thing here in L.A., for some god-awful reason), go elsewhere. But if you're like me, an honest to goodness Italian American whose grandparents came over on the boat in NYC, then this is the spot for you! Don't waste your time anywhere else; this place is the best! read more

My buddy suggested Brogino's and I took his advise. Parking was convenient, but the restaurant wasn't full - Thursday nite. Walked in, thought it was alittle much - hanging lights, fake plants, ... But it was actually pleasant. Wait staff was cordial, patient and helpful - we were taking our time. Ordered an appetizer not on the menu - "scallops scampi" if you will - Marvelous. Split an order of sausage/peppers w/ pasta & salad. Ordered ANOTHER bottle of wine - "house" Chianti at the servers suggestion (perfect) Ordered ANOTHER scallop scampi Tiara Misu was avg at best - I like mine wet. All in all - I'll be back. P.S. the bar looked great. read more

Worst customer service ever. I came here everyday for the past two weeks to try out as much as I could because I love Italian food. And this spot is right next door so seemed perfect. At the counter where you would pick your food up the manager gave me nasty attitude I mean every day for two weeks. He treated me unfairly and like a thief each time I came in. I'm a neighbor and love Italian food. Seriously uncalled for service. read more

I have been here 3 times since moving here recently. Amazing!!! Every time we order something new and it has all been delicious. Tonight I said "scallops, angel hair pasta, and Alfredo. They made it happen to perfection. I will bring all visitors here when they are in town. Definitely a go to. Oh, the wine is great too. read more

Brogino's - Scallops Alfredo - Pizza Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

The ambiance was cute and romantic, but the food and service was subpar. You order a main dish and the sides are all alacarte, which is normal for a fancy steak place, but not an Italian place. In addition this place is a bit pricey which doesn't translate to great quality. I ordered chicken parmesan and it was just okay. To be honest the best part of the meal was the bread. The menu was a bit complicated to understand also.... Overall the food just wasn't that great. The ambiance is good but the food isn't worth the price. read more

Delicious food! Drinks are phenomenal and the service is exceptional!!! We were a 13 top and they were extremely attentive and accommodating. We will be returning. read more

Talk about ambiance, service and delicious food? You're talking about Brogino's! And being greeted every time I walk in like I'm "part of the family" adds so much to the dining experience. To add, their wines are delicious and, when I'm celebrating, the martinis are the BEST - and BIG! Here, they do little things that mean a lot, and that are not done by other restaurants. Salads are served on a cold plate, steaming hot soup is served to you at your table from a large pot. There's even a special birthday horn blown by staff when it's your birthday. If you haven't been here before, you're missing out. And when you do come, I bet you'll feel like part of their family, too. :) read more

Came in here to pick up an order and the manager/owner/ whatever he is was extremely rude and had a bad attitude on him. I've never actually eaten here I came in as a driver to pick up a customers order and he looked at me like I was gum underneath a table. Never eating here now that I know how bad the service is. Change your attitude bro! read more

My wife and I finally visited this place after passing it by hundreds of times, and boy, was it a very nice surprise. To be completely honest, upon entering we were not even sure if anyone was going to sit us at all, so there was a bit of confusion at first, but what came after totally makes up for the long wait. The waiter was very helpful and always close by, which was very nice. And the atmosphere was perfect for a romantic, dim lit dinner. You definitely forget that you're next to a busy street in Redondo, and you feel comfy and cozy being served attentively. The only reason for my 5-star rating is because of the food and the satisfaction that came with it. From the garlic bread to the soup, to the salad, to my chicken alfredo, it was one of the best dinners I have ever had in a very long time. Brogino's really does raise the bar when it comes to Italian food. It tasted real and fresh. My wife and I absolutely fell in love with this place. We really wish to come back soon! read more

My family and I stopped by this place about two weeks ago on a whim. We had relatives from Oklahoma stopping by, and were trying to find a place we'd all like to eat. We settled on italian food, and decided to give this place a try. Our waiter, Omar, was awesome. Super personable, he made my aunt's night with his stories. The food was great, and Omar was good at keeping our drinks flowing. I'll definitely swing by this place the next time I'm entertaining, as the food and atmosphere are great. I also suggest asking for some of the meat sauce for your bread. While the balsamic and olive oil are delicious, the meat sauce is even better. Just don't fill up on it, the portions are pretty hearty. read more

This place was super cozy with delicious Italian food. Tried the half spaghetti half ravioli with the carbonara sauce along with a pizza - the heart warmer. Just slightly undercooked, a little crisp in the dough wouldn't hurt. The bartender/waitress was amazing and truly understood the element of human contact. Unfortunately I noticed 3 cockroaches in the plants which takes away the final star. 4 could've definitely been 5. read more

Had the cannelloni Florentine, tonight. The meat sauce over it was great and I highly recommend it. Cannelloni done right!

One of my favorite restaurants in the area!! If you're looking for a family-style Italian experience with delicious food and friendly service, this is the place. read more

Just had dinner here and the food and service was outstanding ! Thanks to our server Omar who took outstanding care of us. The Scampi shrimp and scallops were amazing ! Thanks for a great experience ! read more

We LOVE Brogino's!! Very traditional Italian food, atmosphere & service. Last night Omar was our server and couldn't have made our Valentine's Dinner experience any better. Mike always makes sure that you are doing great and have everything we need. We also love Patina, she's a wonderful server & the sweetest person. This is our go to restaurant for special occasions because of the family feel we get when you're there. Last year we were engaged and the staff made it even more special! Cheers to another 40 years for Brogino's!! read more

Amazing everything. Very busy on the weekends. But well worth any wait. Friendly staff and great ambiance.

We came here for dinner and it was very dim with the lighting, which added to a nice romantic atmosphere. I couldn't make up my mind, so I picked the chicken scaloppini, spaghetti, and lasagna combo, and it was a lot of food! The chicken in the scaloppini was very tender and the sauce was flavorful and tasty. The lasagna was really good, and so was the spaghetti. My boyfriend had the chicken alfredo and he really liked it also. They don't have the most friendly service here, but it's a family business, and the food is great. read more

I'm always so thrown off by the low rating on Yelp. Each time I've eaten here I've had a great experience. The ambiance is incredible. The wine is delish. The food is sooo good!! Their pesto was great, the pink sauce was incredible, the scallops are incredible. The servings are huge. The service was good too! This place always has a good crowd!! Everyone represent your Brogino's with some Yelp love and let's get this rating up! read more

I was excited to try this place as its near my house. Immediately after walking in, I noticed it's a locals type of place which was fine with me. The place was cute inside, the bar though was sadly outdated and not comfortable whatsoever. The waitress/bartender was really friendly and nice. The only reason this place only gets a 3 is because the meal I ordered (manicotti) was pretty terrible as far as resteraunt standards go. I ate it all as I was starving but it tasted like I bought it at the grocery store and heated my frozen TV dinner. The pre dinner bread was the best part of this place. I likely will not return, which sucks its so close to my house. read more

Best Italian food in town! Actually some of the best I've ever had! Chicken Parm and sausage with peppers are both winners!!! Friendly atmosphere, beautiful twinkling lights and paintings on the ceiling make the place warm and romantic! Wine was awesome! Staff more amazing than I can tell you! Omar, our waiter, was so wonderful he kept us laughing and shared with us some local hot spots! Great experience! We will definitely be back!!! read more

See all
