    Food was great. There was a large variety of different foods. We had ordered two different pastas and a margherita pizza. All of them were very good. We also ended up getting deserts which were the tiramisu, crème brûlée, and a slice of cake. All three were amazing. Service was very good and accommodating. The overall environment was very calm.

    Parking is limited; it's K-town. But Caffe Concerto is worth the visit. I've walked by so many times, but never had I tried it until now. I came with a party of four, and we had a variety of their dishes. The pastas were all delicious, though note that they tend to be heavier / thicker. None were too salty or too sweet, which was a plus. The pizza was tasty, though it wasn't too fluffy - definitely more of the harder bread. Service was okay; I'm not sure if it was because we were seated outside, but it felt very absent. However, the tables around us got some good attention... not sure why. Using the restroom was also a burning experience. The faucet is opposite of what you may expect, and the stream was fast when it was hot. When you finally figure it out after burning yourself, that stream is slow and smooth - what a disappointing way to end dinner...

    The cafe had a really cute vibe and ambience to it. The lights were really aesthetic and we were seated in a room with full glass windows so it didn't feel claustrophobic with 11 of us in our group. It was strangely quiet, but it was also Super Bowl Sunday, so that's probably why. Service was 10/10. There were 11 of us there for a birthday dinner and Denton was very kind and attentive to each of us. He even brought out a little birthday pastry for my brother and small cake slices for the table, which was a very kind gesture. Their pizzas were probably the star of the night. We got the truffle, combination, and hawaiian which were all really good. Nice and crispy, soft crust, plenty of flavor. The pastas were average-mediocre, nothing too outstanding. I think the flavors were there but it was just lacking some salt. Other things to note, parking is through a small alley from the driveway right in front. It looked like there was a valet booth that wasn't open so we just parked for free.

    Easy to park in the parking garage. Way affordable! So many things for everyone!! Perfect setup for people to walk up, take what they want and pay up front. I loved it and can't wait to come back. Very clean, happy employees!

    I ordered the seafood pasta and really enjoyed it. The seafood tasted fresh, and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce had good flavor without being too heavy. The portion size was decent, and the presentation was nice. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish there had been a little more seafood and the service was a bit slow during my visit. Overall, it's a solid choice, and I'd definitely come back to try other dishes.

    I really don't understand the negative reviews! I have been coming here whenever in the area and service is always amazing! The main host/bartender has a great personality, extremely welcoming, makes sure we are well taken care of and gives us complimentary bread and desserts when the kitchen closes but still getting some great house wine The food is amazing! The ambience even better It's just so cozy and warm with the indoor small fire pits Highly recommend!

    Pasta and pizza deal
    Talisa T.

    Always always a big fan of Caffe Concerto! My favorite is definitely the Mentaiko Pasta. And this July, they have the $20 deal for pizza and pastas. Such a great deal! But not only is the food so good here, we love the service and the staff. If this place closes, I'll miss it so much and miss such a great yummy food. We love Denton, the resto's manager! He's so funny and such a darling. Always gives us incredible service and super personable. Caffe Concerto is definitely a gem in the heart of Ktown!

    I've been going to Cafe Concerto ever since it first opened decades ago -- probably more than 70 to 80 times so far. I've had both brunch and dinner here many times, and everything has always been delicious -- from the food to the desserts. Aiden, one of the waiters, has always been incredibly friendly and nice, and even the valet parking man is very nice and polite. Recently, I've mostly come here with family and friends for dessert: August 1 (Friday evening) - dessert with family August 16 (Saturday evening) - dessert with friends September 6 (Saturday evening) - dessert with family October 19 (Sunday) - picked up a cheese plate to go for a rooftop potluck party with my friends. In the past, this place used to be packed on weekends -- you could barely find parking. But lately, even on weekend nights, it's been almost empty, which honestly doesn't surprise me anymore. While most of the staff are kind and welcoming, one employee named Denton has made my experience here extremely unpleasant multiple times. My friends who've been with me all agree -- his attitude and behavior are completely inappropriate for someone working in customer service. He's rude, short-tempered, and acts as if he's doing the customers a favor by letting them be there. For example, last year I came with about 12 friends, and when we politely asked to move a few tables together, he snapped and said, "How am I supposed to do that?" in a very irritated tone. He was very rude and impolite. On September 6, he even added a 20% service charge without saying a word about it. And every time I've asked for something simple like water, he's responded with visible annoyance. It's happened so many times that I've honestly lost count. I've loved this café for years, but I'm deeply disappointed that one rude employee could ruin what used to be one of my favorite places. Even yesterday, when I called to order a cheese plate to go, he answered the phone rudely. When I went to pick it up ($29.63 total), I paid $30 in cash. At first, I told him to keep the change, but then a second later, I changed my mind and asked for it back. He sarcastically said, "Why are you being so indecisive?" That was the last straw -- I didn't leave any tip and walked out. I'm normally a generous tipper when I'm treated kindly, but I wouldn't give even a dollar to someone like that. Denton should not be working in customer service. His arrogance and rudeness completely ruin the atmosphere of this place. It's really unfortunate because Cafe Concerto used to be such a wonderful spot that I truly loved. But, I really don't want to go here anymore because of him.

    Great vibes, great food, and always a great time with friends and coworkers. This has been one of our favorite spots to get together, and every visit has been enjoyable. It's truly sad to see them close at the end of July. We'll definitely miss this place and all the great memories we've made here. A special shoutout to Denton, who was always a pleasure to see. He kept us entertained, provided excellent service, and always made us feel welcome.

    Espresso martini, old fashioned
    Ana F.

    Tonight we decided to try something a bit different. We came across this Italian/korean fusion restaurant. As soon as we arrived, the valet were sweet and gave us options. FYI parking is $5 inside for self parking. Once inside, Denton was immediately attentive and kind. He started us with a warm hot lemon water and an ice water for my partner. Which i really appreciated at night. He sat us down and also supplied me with a Blanket! Set a fire by us. Just overall Denton set the mood! I felt like a spoiled princess and I let him know how special I felt. For drinks we ordered an espresso martini and an old fashioned. The espresso martini was subtle and delicious! I sipped and enjoyed. I ordered the steak salad and the chicken Marsala. The salad was exactly what I was craving. Leafy greens, tomatoes, the vinaigrette with the steak. The Marsala was packed with chicken, it was tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were creamy, but they only gave a small amount, wished we had a bit more potatoes and maybe a little less chicken. We loved the generous portion of chicken but didn't necessarily need it. For dessert we had a coconut latte and paired it with a sweet potato cake and tiramisu. Amazing! You could taste the espresso in the latte, it was rich and creamy and nothing was overly sweet! Same with the cakes. Soft, creamy, spongy. Again, just the right amount of sugar! Overall the service was amazing We felt at home and catered too. Worth every penny! I can't wait to come again and try something new. Their new honey espresso latte looked like something to try for dessert

    Truffle fries, Kimchi Carbonara, Asada pizza
    Joy

    I've been to Cafe Concerto about 6 times now, and I think it's finally time I leave a proper review. This spot does Korean-Italian fusion so well, putting a unique spin on classic dishes without overdoing it. Everything feels thoughtful, balanced, and consistently delicious. My go-to order (for two): Kimchi Carbonara Basil Pesto Cream Pasta Truffle Fries (non-negotiable)!!! If you're dining with a few extra people, I highly recommend throwing in the Asada Pizza for a satisfying carb-loaded addition bc it's bold, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent. Even though I've been to Concerto multiple times, I find myself ordering the same dishes over and over again... and that pretty much tells you everything you need to know. These dishes hit every. single. time. Parking is valet-only, so plan accordingly. Cafe Concerto has never failed me, and I'm genuinely looking forward to branching out and trying more from their menu. But honestly? It'll be hard to skip my favorites :D Rating: 10/10 - One of my favorites in ktown!

    Concerto has been serving Euro Korean Cuisine in the middle of k-town. With cozy and inviting patios and an upstairs dining area, it's perfect for a romantic dinner, a brunch or dinner with friends, or a casual drink with a delicious dessert! They put some creative touches on classic favorites and their new menu items. Irresistibly delicious Korean Italian Cuisine in the heart of Koreatown!! Don't miss out on their scrumptious desserts. So light, creamy and not overly sweet!! We've come here 3x and the food has been so scrumptious and customer service is top notch from Denton, Lena and Aiden!! They are amazing!! The best BULGOGI PIZZA in LA!! The Bulgogi Pizza and Lobster Pasta are customer favorites!! Their NEW Italian Sausage Mushroom Regotoni Pasta, Honey Summer Latte, Grilled Squid Salad, Sweet Pumpkin Salad, Grilled Octopus Fingerling Potato, Red Velvet Cake and Sweet Potato Cake were absolutely delicious!!

    Visited Concerto for the second time after a few years, and I was so impressed by how much it has evolved. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the lobster pasta, absolutely delicious! A perfect balance of flavor and freshness. Great service, great food. I'll definitely be back again soon.

The pasta is all handmade, and you can genuinely taste the difference in both quality and flavor. The noodles have that fresh, slightly chewy texture that packaged pasta just does not have, and everything tastes carefully made rather than mass produced. The bolognese is spectacular: deep, rich, meaty, and comforting without feeling overwhelmingly heavy. It is the kind of dish that makes you slow down because every bite is worth paying attention to. The salads are also surprisingly substantial. The chopped salad, in particular, is a generous portion and packed with flavor, so it feels like a real part of the meal instead of an afterthought. Save room for the tiramisu, which is very good: creamy, balanced, and a great finish after the richer pasta. The only downside is the ambiance. The interior is tiny, so when it gets busy it can feel hectic and cramped. Still, the service is amazing, friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient despite the limited space inside.

    Pasta e Pasta is one of my favorite restaurants in Cerritos! It's a Japanese fusion pasta spot and…read moreevery time I've come, I'm mind blown by how delicious all the food is. They have a variety of different pastas on the menu, but me and my husband's go to's are the uni pasta and the mentai cream pasta. If you're a spicy food lover like me, do yourself a favor and drizzle on some of the chili oil that they have on the table. Each pasta also comes with bread and a side salad, which is a nice touch as well. I've always come here for weekend dinners and the wait hasn't been more than 10 minutes. Service is friendly and attentive. It is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking.

    Finally got to try this place and I loved every bite of my pasta! I was torn between one of the…read moreallegro favorites (uni pasta and bolognese) and the Mentai. My friend recommended the Mentai and if you're a first timer, I would too. It was rich with umami flavor from the mushroom, a little salty with texture from the roe, and just creamy enough where you didn't need something to cut through. Comes with bread and side salad. My toddler also enjoyed it, which says a lot! The service was quick. There's a wait list to check in your party on the iPad. They seat you once full party arrives. High chairs available. It's a cozy place and seems like they can accommodate all sorts of parties from 2 people to large families. Shared free parking lot with other businesses, was not difficult to find. Would definitely come back again!

    One of our absolute favorite restaurants -- we honestly look forward to coming to LA just to eat at…read moreMaccheroni Republic. The Ravioli Di Zucca and Rigatoni Pom'Amore are phenomenal -- easily some of the best pasta we've ever had. The Lasagna di Carne is delicious too, although the rich meat sauce is so generous that you don't get to appreciate their incredible pasta quite as much. Small, quaint indoor dining + a cute patio that somehow doesn't feel like you're in the heart of LA. The restaurant is first come, first served, and there's often a wait. Come early or grab a cocktail across the street at Grayson while you wait. It's worth the wait. Every. Single. Time.

    I came here last year for my birthday as well! I love how their delicious pastas are made fresh…read moredaily! I already knew that I wanted! I knew I wanted the bone marrow (again! We also ordered frtto misti (fried calamari and fried shrimp) as an additional appetizer which was deliciously light and crunchy! I've never had osso bucco before, so l presumably I thought they'd be using veal shank, but it was beef shank. The flavors tasted are of those that have been simmering cohesively on a low flame for several hours! It was what I'd expect in an Italian stew! Accompanied by a side of perfectly orchestrated I also had their squid ink risotto. Very distinctive flavor mixed within this squid ink plate. Bay scallops mixed within the squid ink and risotto. I just wish it was a little softer. I thought it could've used perhaps 5 additional minutes! Topped off with 2 perfectly cooked diver scallops! To end my birthday meal, I had a frozen creamy treat of affogato! Yay!! Happy 55 to me! I'm blessed to have enjoyed another delicious birthday dinner at Maccheroni Republic
