A hidden gem! The truffle dishes keep us coming back, because they are very generous with the truffle portions. We were clients since they were at the other location. read more

Casa Modena - Steak and black truffles. We love the truffle dishes here. They give you a lot of truffles! - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is amazing! They've moved from their original Culver City location, but worth the short drive to their new home. Delicious truffles (that don't cost a fortune to order) great atmosphere, authentic Italian cuisine and wines at reasonable prices. And by authentic, I mean if you expect garlic bread, fettuccini alfredo and spaghetti with meatballs... go to Olive Garden. :-) I you want the real deal, eat at Casa Modena. read more

I feel like this meal was a prank! I live across the street and have always been curious because of the great reviews but the prices were insane. I went for DineLA this year and let me tell you, everything was awful. First off, the restaurant was completely empty. -the bread was stale wonderbread -the burrata and mozzarella came right out of a TJ tin -the lobster ravioli had a rubber consistency, seemed like it was a frozen meal -the truffle tasted like flavorless cardboard -the pasta was flavorless in the truffle tagliatelle -the parmesan was powder -the branzino was extremely fishy and tiny -we ordered medium rare steak and it came out extremely well done. they remade it and it was raw and inedible. -the best thing was like tiny panna cotta During DineLA my meal was $65 not including tip or tax. Off the regular menu this is twice as much. I'm so confused by the good reviews. And they have no business having those high prices. Extremely disappointed and pissed I had to pay for this meal. read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! I can't say enough about Mio Babbo. Service, food, ambiance - all FIVE stars! Truffle menu to traditional staples are all impeccably prepared and presented. Will definitely be back again and again. read more

A lovely little gem. We dined here for a late Mother's Day dinner. My boys had the lasagna and tortellini with the red sauce and my wife and I both had the black truffle tasting menu. The food and service were impeccable. We definitely got our truffle fix! For the tasting menu, the dishes are small but very rich. Our boys loved their dishes and kept sampling our truffle dishes as well. A little pricey but you do get an abundance of shaved truffle on top of each dish. Reminded us of our two week honeymoon in Italy many moons ago. Would love to come back soon. read more

We came here for lunch. There's plenty of outdoor seating with 6ft distance. The service was amazing and so was the food. We really enjoyed their truffle dishes! Really good handmade pasta and high quality ingredients which reminded us of the pasta we had in Italy. We would definitely come back for dinner next time. Couldn't be more satisfied. I really hope they get more exposure cause they deserve it. read more

Visited during COVID and while outdoor dining was still allowed. They have a nice set up where almost every table has a balcony view, but its only 2 floors up and you're looking at Wilshire lol We had 2 truffle dishes, bruchetta, and panna cotta, our favorites was the black truffle tagliolini. Service was top notch and would definitely come back They have a shared, valeted parking lot but provide validation read more

Kudos to Mio Babbo for offering outside seating and great dine-in service! I went there for dinner the first time yesterday - this place is an Italian gem in Brentwood. Service is excellent, food was authentic Italian and delicious! I had the ravioli and Minestrone soup and both tasted very fresh, flavorful and authentic. The price was well worth it.. Our server was very gracious and quick to take care of us. Will definitely go back. read more

Honestly this is the best Italian restaurant in LA. From food to service. We had the best dining experience ever. The owner is amazing and so kind. The food is fresh and delicious!!!! Everyone should try this place. Just ask for the busboy. And he will give you the best service and vip treatment. read more

Can not recommend this restaurant more! To start off, the service was incredible, Nico was so kind and attentive! The truffle fries are to die for, along with the pumpkin ravioli and the tortellini. For dessert you have to try their limoncello and Chocolate salami, you won't be disappointed! read more

Solid Italian food that feels authentic, location isn't the best. The owner is very knowledgeable and is an Italian man with good recommendations. He also has some really good white and black truffle and apparently supplies other restaurants in the area. Caprese salad very simple and fresh done right. Eggplant app was very good as well, cooked right not mushy at all and flavorful. I also had a tortellini and tagliatelle that was great and was not overly seasoned or sauce. A great simple homemade handmade feel with olive oil and light salt, pepper. The truffle stood out and was great. All in all it's a solid spot and would be back if I'm in the area. read more

Ran into this place by chance and I glad I did. Food is delicious and has the authenticity feel and taste to it. Great service and atmosphere. Definitely became one of my go to for Italian. Hopefully they'll make it thru this pandemic... read more

Delicious, sensual, authentic, a bit of Italian heaven in the neighborhood. Far superior to all those fancy-shmancy Italian restaurants on San Vicente. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely fantastic! Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, you must! We ordered the truffle fries, caesar salad, tagliatelle verdi al ragu, & the lasagne. I loved that the truffle fries came with REAL shavings of truffle on top, it's definitely the first time I've experienced real truffle instead of a truffle oil. However, the Tagliatelle was the highlight of our night-- the sauce was perfect meaty and rich! The Lasagne was fantastic as well layered with cheesy, creamy goodness. I'm so glad I found this joint just a few blocks from my home. I will definitely continue being a patron of Mio Babbo in the future, if not for the food, for the incredible service & ambiance! read more

Casa Modena - Tagliatelle Verdi al Ragu & Lasagne - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is amazing! I came here last week with a friend, we had a reservation but it looks like they do walk ins as well. The owner is extremely welcoming and friendly, he was very patient and answered all of our questions. My friend ordered the Fritto Misto but only wanted the calamari and they customized it for her! The pasta was so delicious (I got the pesto and my friend got their signature tortellini with a cream sauce), and I was happy I had enough for leftovers the next day so I got to experience it twice. So happy we found this place, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Mio Babbo is not your average neighborhood Italian restaurant...this place is a an authentic taste of Italy. Nico made us feel like we were right at home amidst these odd times. I had the lobster ravioli paired with an amazing red wine that still has me wanting to go back for more! I will definitely be back, thank you Nico for your wonderful service, food, and authentic Italian experience! read more

I 10/10 would recommend this restaurant. Italian good is my favorite and I lived in Italy for some time so I'm a bit picky about where I go here in The states. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place on yelp and I'm so thankful we did! We came here during COVID. They check your temperature upon arrival and everyone is seated at least 6 ft apart from each other which made me feel safe. The service in this place is great! Our waiter was very attentive and gave us a complementary appetizer: bruschetta di buffala e tartufo. It was delicious! I love truffle so I was very happy about this. For my entre I asked for the raviolo di zucca and I was so happy with my choice. It was delicious and filling! My boyfriend got lasagne and he was happy about it as well. For dessert we got tiramisu and panna cotta. We enjoyed them both but really loved the tiramisu! Towards the end the waiter also gave us some lemoncello and we loved it. Before we left, he also gave us a jar of truffle sauce that they import from Italy ON THE HOUSE! I am so excited to go back! Everyone needs to try this place! read more

I have to start the review by saying that the owner had to assume the duties of host/ server/food runner on our visit. He apologized profusely for allowing us to wait more than a few minutes to order drinks and brought us a complimentary plate of bruschetta. We had Pinot Noir which was not the best and a very ordinary Caesar salad. The dressing tasted like bottled supermarket dressing and the croutons were from a box. The Fritos Misto was outstanding with vegetables, shrimp and calamari. Calamari was very tender and lightly breaded as were the carrots and broccoli. We really enjoyed this dish. We also had the fresh vegetable minestrone soup which my husband enjoyed. We split the lasagne which I felt needed a bit of seasoning. The restaurant is very charming but I don't think we'd come back. read more

We had the home made tagliotelle with four cheese and it tasted fresh and delicious. The pasta noodles were so tender! And the owner was very accommodating with recommendations. We had chocolate from Umbria for dessert which was the perfect palette cleanser! We live in Orange County but would drive out just to have lunch here again. read more

Such a cute place. Our server was attentive and nice. Had the black truffle menu. Ordered the crostini and the fries for first course. They were good. Second course we ordered the risotto and tagliatelle. The risotto was delicious but a bit salty. The tagliatelle was AMAZING. We ordered the branzino for both of us since we are vegetarian. The best branzino I've ever had. The chef came out and he was so sweet. Will be back for sure! read more

Why didn't I know about this MARVELOUS place sooner?!?!! To break my fast I had truffle pasta, truffle fries, and truffle branzino! It was a truffle explosion of goodness! Everything felt like it was prepared with ample love! The flavors mingled effortlessly together to create a joyous flavor explosion in our mouths! When my better half went to pick up the food - he was greeted by an amazing individual who welcomed him into the restaurant like family! With our order he gifted him a bottle of wine that was simply divine! Needless to say we finished the bottle and the food in record time! It was literally a fight to see who would get the last bite...naturally, I won! Wishing them lots of business and to stay open for as long as they like! read more

Very nice classic Italian fare. I was here for dinner, the staff was very accommodating for the outdoor patio service. Everything was clean and distanced. I had a capraze appetizer and the green lasagne. Both were excellent. I was too stuffed for deserts, but they looked really good on other people's tables read more

Omg! You had me at truffle! I just had a fun and amazing dinner where Umberto was such a gracious host, coming over with his box of truffles, shaving extra truffles over our meal and bringing us lemon cello. I am so happy I stumbled upon this truffle-centric restaurant. I had no idea it was even there. read more

Delicious!!! Ok we came in later in the evening and it was empty! I was ready to walk out and am so glad we didn't!!! The food is so fresh and delicious! I've been to Italy many times and truly feel like I was transported there! The decor is beautiful and so unique!! I've been to tons of restaurants and this one is a winner!! Unique plates, no two are alike! Beautiful utensils, art deco 60s/70s tables from Italy!! At the end of the meal, my husband and I were already thinking about what we wanted to try the next time!!! This restaurant is truly AUTHENTIC and that is difficult to find!!!! read more

I cannot put into words the experience we had at Mio Babbo. First off, the co owner, Nico, served us and he was incredible. We ordered the truffle menu where the chef picks the dishes for you and each dish was more tasty and more incredible than the next. It was just overall a delicious and wonderful meal. Even the prices was reasonable considering the quality and the amount of food we had. If you love truffles, this is a spot you must visit. We were not disappointed and will definitely be craving Mio Babbo again. read more

Casa Modena - Truffle Crostini con Burrata e Tartufo - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stumbled upon this hidden gem tonight! The BEST pasta we've ever had outside of Italy. If you're a truffle lover, this place is for you! We had the truffle crostini which came four to an order. Perfect layer of burrata with a generous helping of shaved truffles! I had the tagliolini with truffles- pasta is homemade, super tender with another unbelievable helping of truffles. A very light dish however. Husband had the tortellini, which is also hand made. Portion may look small but don't let the size fool you! It was very filling. He described it as rich yet light. Our server was Nico and he was fantastic! We will be returning for sure! read more

Stumbled on this place last night and absolutely loved it. I was first captured by how nicely decorated it was, but the food is more impressive. They bring warm, fresh bread with the best balsamic I've ever had - and there's a case full of it! I also had bruschetta which was very fresh and flavorful. For dinner I had an amazing lobster ravioli (and the chef threw in some broccoli in on a whim, just for me) in this mystery yellow sauce that was so good I had to order some more bread to sop it up, then I had to take some of it home in a cup. Everything I had was incredible and my friend really enjoyed her dish too. The staff, including the chef and owner, are all very friendly and attentive. 100% would recommend read more

Very good tasting Italian food. Me and my female friend (my Japanese tomodachi) came here thinking why not give it a try given it's local Brentwood location. We had great service and what was nice was the restaurants decor. Highly recommended & we loved how it wasn't so loud very much like many of the restaurants around LA these days. A great date spot. Please make note. read more

Wow. Amazing customer service (they asked us for our song preference), incredibly fresh food, and everything was clearly handmade with love and pride. We tried the bruschetta, Tuscan salad, pesto pasta, pumpkin ravioli, and the panna cotta dessert. The bruschetta was lovely, the bread was not too crispy or the mix too wet, with just the right amount of bite from the fresh garlic. yum. The salad was light and crisp, the arugula wasn't too bitter and the lemon and parm were delightful. The pesto was beyond. The homemade pasta perfectly al dente. The pumpkin ravioli was the exact combination of sweet and savory that you would hope it would be. And the panna cotta! Fluffy, silky, and just the right amount of sweet. We were treated to homemade limoncello as a digestif on the house, which was a wonderful surprise. The only question is when can I get back here for another dinner? It can't be soon enough! read more

A friend and I discovered Mío Babbo on Yelp and we are so happy we did! The service was incredible, and the food was delicious and authentic! I felt like we were back in Tuscany! We sat outside since Mío Babbo is currently unable to sit customers inside due to Covid, but when I walked through the restaurant to go to the restroom, I was amazed at all the cool decor they had. The bright colors and original pieces the owners brought from Italy really whisked us away. I forgot we were in Los Angeles for a minute! Between the service, delicious cuisine, and the decor, it really was more of an experience than just dining out. The tortellini with Bolognese, and the chocolate salami are both a must-try! I'll definitely be back to try more of their pastas and Secondis. read more

Something in the food must get lost in translation when it comes to takeout. Love the family owned vibe and the staff, but the food was extremely underwhelming. The margherita pizza looked like a plain cheese pizza with a basil leaf on top, but tasted like a sauce pie with the bland cheese as nothing more than rubbery texture. The arrabbiata lacked flavor unless you count a dumping of chili flakes as flavor. The tagliatelle lacked any and all seasoning and required salt and imagination. The bread for the bruschetta was soggy, the tomatoes flavorless as well. The panna cotta tasted like something out of McDonald's (and not in a good way). Spent $100 and literally couldn't eat anything and ordered an entirely different dinner elsewhere. This place has rave reviews so either I'm too picky or I ventured in on an off night. read more

Casa Modena - This is a cheese pizza, not a margherita.... urge you to pass. - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Mio Babbo is a new pasta bar and truffle shop (separately called the Truffle Hunter) where Enzo and Angela used to be. They offer homemade pasta that you can customize with protein cheese sauce and veggies. They also offer an assortment of main course offerings, pre-selected pasta arrangements, homemade desserts and a selection of sides and salad. We tried three different pastas and they were all delicious! My favorite is the Amatriciana with linguine. Perhaps my favorite feature of the restaurant is the decor which is all from Italy and illustrates a rich family history of cooking. They have imported all their tables from Italy which are just adorable. The service is very friendly and warm. I will definitely be back! read more

The holy grail for truffle lovers! Everything was delicious. Our table of 6 got to try a lot of their home made pastas, seafood, and crostinis. There is a prefix truffle menu, that was what I went with. It's very affordable and everything comes with a pile of fresh shaved truffle on top! For $80ish dollars I got 2 crostinis, pasta, branzino and pana cota. The staff was VERY attentive, knowledgeable and wonderful. They had great wine recommendation and answered all our questions. This place is authentic and worth the treck across town for me. read more

I recently discovered Mio Babbo and wow! I am impressed. I've tried many of their dishes and they have all been outstanding. Their pasta with white truffles is out-of-this-world delicious :) Their seafood dishes... amazing. They also have a great lunch menu where you can chose from veggies, the type of meat, and the type of sauce you want. I love their authentic indoor Italian decor and their cozy outdoor patio. Check It out you'll like it! :) ( Me: picky eater, foodie, love trying new restaurants :) read more

Totally Gem in LA! Came here on a whim and I'm so glad I did. The pasta is to DIE for and the overall ambiance is 10/10. I felt like I was in grandma's kitchen. I am so excited I found this spot and will be back to try everything. If you are looking for good Italian food on the west side look no further. read more
