I love Cecconi's. The vibe is exactly what you want from a West Hollywood hotspot: beautiful space, great energy, delicious food, and a bar scene that somehow makes it easy to strike up conversations and leave with new friends. It feels lively without trying too hard, which is harder to pull off than people realize. Fair warning: it is LOUD. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate dinner where you can hear every word across the table, this may not be your spot. If you're looking for a fun night out with great people-watching and an energetic atmosphere, you'll be very happy. And yes, there was that one memorable evening when I thought I was ordering a pizza with black truffles and somehow ended up with white truffles instead. Let's just say the bill was... educational. Fortunately, it was absolutely delicious and shared among friends, so no regrets. Great food, great cocktails, great crowd, and one of my favorite places to spend an evening in West Hollywood or do business lunches during the day. Don't sleep on the salads and pasta. Split it if you are afraid of carbs. And lastly the cauliflower app is amazing. read more

First time dining at Cecconi's West Hollywood and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was one of my favorite parts of the experience bright, beautiful, and full of great energy. It's the perfect spot for a Sunday brunch on a sunny afternoon. To drink, I ordered the Cecconi's Sour, which was incredibly well-crafted with a smooth, velvety texture and balanced flavor. For food, we shared a few dishes family-style. The spicy salami pizza was easily my favorite, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The branzino was absolutely delicious light, flaky, buttery, and full of flavor. The tuna was excellent, and the calamari was perfectly crispy without feeling heavy. Overall, Cecconi's delivered great food, great drinks, and a fantastic atmosphere and quick service. Whether you're meeting friends for brunch or enjoying a leisurely afternoon meal, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. I'll be back. read more

Cecconi's was the restaurant chosen for date night this weekend, we called ahead and they were able to fit us in right away which was very accommodating. After we checked in it took them about 15 minutes to seat us. Our waitress was very kind and quick with her service which we always appreciate especially when a restaurant is busy. We decided to only have appetizers and drinks. The meatballs were a 5/10 in my opinion, they tasted like regular meatballs and marinara sauce nothing special, I wouldn't order it again. The whipped ricotta and truffle honey I give a 8/10, honestly was my favorite out of all the appetizers we ordered, the taste of cream with sweet truffle honey was immaculate, perfect blend. The gnocchi I give a 6/10, it was very soft and a little creamy, I don't think the taste was anything special. But I would order again. Overall, we wanted to stop by for some drinks and appetizers and we were satisfied. I give the whole experience a 8/10. If you're looking for a date night spot while you're in West Hollywood I would recommend stopping by and trying it out. read more

Reserved a lunch table for three on the patio. Valet was easy, hostess was welcoming & professional. Table was ready as promised. Patio has a relaxing, European vibe with marble tables & Paris cafe chairs. Service was friendly and upscale. They proactively refill drinks and bring clean silverware when they clear plates. Had the burrata appetizer (be sure to also order the bread basket). It was excellent! Had the bolognese tagliatelle and a prosciutto pizza. The ingredients were very fresh and the food was well prepared. The prices are not cheap, but it was worth it. The restaurant and bathrooms were spotlessly clean. read more

Great classy vibe, semi-sophisticated spot Starting out strong with the two appetisers, they are both more of a small plate to share. Grilled Octopus (8.6/10): This octopus is well-seasoned with salt. The meat is so tender, has a nice char taste to it. Not flimsy, you can actually chew on it. The peppers pair nicely with it, even tho it's kinda hard to pick up the slices with the fork & knife. Maybe if it's in square or triangle shape would be better in my opinion. Hamachi Crudo (8.3/10): This dish is quite delightful and delicious to start off the meal with. It has a lot of sauce, the passion fruit/mango sauce compliments the hamachi and the avocado a lot. Everything is well-balanced, even with a Serrano it would be even more playful with that extra crunch and kick. It's a very joyful dish to have. Not too messy to eat, it's easy to pick up. Looking forward to try their beef tartare if I ever come back. Black truffle, zucchini blossom, goat cheese (7.8-8): I love the dough and the crust, that's like the soul of a pizza. It's made in wood oven, so it has that charcoal taste and it's burnt in the right way yet not too bitter or hard. The truffle pizza tasted like it has goat cheese inside, I asked for crushed red pepper and it tasted better with it. It's a rather plain pizza, I prefer pizza with meat better but the crust is good. Looking forward to try an equivalent of Diavola in here. Branzino, spinach, tomatoes, peppers, olives (9/10): Portion is on the smaller side, you can definitely finish it on your own as a main course without sharing. Love the detail on the cheese cloth wrapping the lemon. Love the spinach beneath the fish, it soaked up the lemon juice if you use the lemon as garnish (optional). The spinach is not slippery (like most spinach dish?), fish is tender, not hard to eat. Great! Tagliatelle, beef and pork bolognese (8/10): Great, not fantastic or exquisite. It's yummy but no wow factor, love the pasta texture, it's a little bit over al-dante which blends in with the mince meat more. Every bite the pasta and the beef compliments each other because of the softer pasta texture. Tiramisu (8.5/10): Yummy! SERVICE This is an upscale restaurant, our server Sophia understands the menu well. Even though we made reservations we didn't got seated immediately. The service is not bad, good not amazing great. Portions are on the smaller side except for the pizza, alcohol is not watered down mediocre restaurant drink (their cocktails are pretty decent). Cocktails are quite decent too, presentation is decent. Would come back even just for the bar, love the ambience read more

Wonderful place for brunch. It's a really good idea to have a reservation in advance because it's popular. I reserved via OpenTable. Trendy and can be a bit of scene with a chic vibe but very chill. Ladies (and some men) who lunch and brunch with friends crowd. I had a birthday lunch here once and it's a great place to celebrate a special event with friends. You can relax and talk out loud as the restaurant has a fun and animated social atmosphere, which is nice with a group. Good service. They make excellent pizza. The dish I really love on the brunch menu is the "Green Eggs" with avocado, spinach and pesto...which always makes me smile because it reminds me of Dr. Seuss and his character Sam in "Green Eggs With Ham". My favorite dessert was their fabulous Pavlova, but it's no longer offered. The Meyer Lemon Meringata is a great substitute. read more

Went for a friends birthday dinner and it was actually super cute! The temperature inside was PERFECT, it's January and freezing outside but we had dresses on and were able to take out jackets off and be comfortable, which is SO appreciated first off. It's a bit pricey here, but we ordered a variety of courses and everything was INCREDIBLE! This place is so chic, classy, old money, if you get the vibe. Super instagram worthy and a great place to get cute dinner pics, and show off your outfits. The service was top notch by all the gentlemen we interacted with. The manager maybe or just a stranger in a suit came by and checked in, which was kind also. Literally every single thing ordered was beyond delicious, ricotta toast, squash blossom, all the truffle options, truffle pasta, truffle pizza, the steak, bread service, it was spot on. I'll be back. Thank you Cecconi's! Please don't skip this spot if you're a foodie . read more

This is such a fun place. I've been here multiple times and always have a great time. The outdoor patio is absolutely lovely. With the high hedges, you can't even tell your right in the middle of the hustle-and-bustle of West Hollywood. My girlfriend and I had drinks and an amazing dinner. She had the brick chicken and I had the scallops. We split the crudités. Everything was delicious. The servers were attentive without being overbearing. They have valet, and there is limited street parking. There's also a parking structure about a block away. Better to park there and avoid the frustration. read more

There is such a wide and deep range of places to try in the greater Los Angeles area that it is possible to get endless 5-star experiences from diners to ballrooms. I like all types of places as long as they are clean and the food is good. But, isn't it nice to add an upscale elegant environment? One where you feel appropriate dressing up just a bit, even in laid back SoCal? Cecconi's ticks all the boxes for me. The place is beautiful, inside and out, secluded (see my photos), appointed with an eye to refinements (again, the photos), with a balanced menu that gives both carnivores and herbivores plenty to choose from. With easy parking and reasonable prices. Oh, and available on Sunday afternoons, my favorite time to eat out. Even on what could be described as a dreary, rainy day, the place was packed. The service was top-notch too. Nicco and Paolo waited on us cheefully, discreetly and expertly. The dishes looked decorative and imaginative and the portions were ample, so we were able to take a lot home for another meal -- I love that. See what we had in my pictures. Everything we ordered was delicious, perfectly prepared, and served at the ideal temperature. Most of all, I truly enjoyed seeing the WeHo/BH crowd in glittering attire, amid the t-shirts and jeans that seem to plague our times. C'mon people, don't you want an excuse to wear your diamonds and pearls once in awhile? You can do it and blend in at Cecconi's, truly a local treasure. It was a festive meal that I am sure we will want to repeat soon. read more

Everything was amazing but what stood out the most was the service! Adolfo was the best! Will be coming back in two weeks once we return from our trip. We came to start our anniversary celebration before our flight and our server Adolfo was the highlight! He recommended all the best specials and desserts! We had the spicy salami pizza, tortelli pasta, and endive salad (not pictured) along with cookies & flourless cake for dessert with mint tea. All the food was 10/10 and I would highly recommend pairing your meal with a bottle of wine. The service is exceptional, everyone came around to check in and make sure everything was good. The patio is super cute and cozy and romantic. read more

An LA institution for years it also has been so many years since I've last gone to Cecconi's and it's nice to see it's still a great place to pick up a solid Italian meal (especially after a concert at the Troubadour on a weeknight if it gets out on time!). We ordered the squash blossoms, the tuna tartare and a spicy meat pizza all of which were great. The panna cotta - a revelation. So creamy and smooth with the right amount of texture. Perfectly paired with strawberry. Great service overall. Attentive and helpful in ordering making sure food came out quickly and fresh but also checked in on us regularly! Valet as there's no lot. Street parking can be tough, watch for signs! read more

I finally tried their brunch. It was a bit crowded but I was able to make a reservation the same morning. I was pleased to see steak and eggs on the menu.

The burrata was also great, can't go wrong with it. read more

Wow what a great restaurant. I was so pleasantly surprised with the decor, service, outdoor seating, and food! I had such a delicious lunch here - everything was spectacular. The whipped ricotta was OUTSTANDING. I wanted to drink it. The special lunch of the day - mortadella and chilled tomato soup - was so so delicious. The fried artichokes were also delicious, as was the chicken milanese. The burrata starter was the only forgettable item. The service was also fantastic. This food was so good - happy to have had such amazing italian in LA! read more

One of my favorite happy hour spots! Drinks and apps are always spot on! Also, fun people watching!

Food was great and I really liked the whipped ricotta dish. However, it took over an hour for the other two dishes to arrive. A table seated AFTER us got their food before us and we ordered the same pizza. We asked our waiter when the food was coming out bc we got there over an hour before, and he kept saying just a minute. It finally came and the food was good but the wait was so long and made our experience there not very enjoyable. So, don't come if you're really hungry read more

My wife and I have eaten here 15-20 times over the years and have generally enjoyed it. But today's experience was so poor that we won't be returning. Our calamari arrived before our drinks. We asked for marinara on the side--it didn't come, so we asked again. Our drinks finally showed up, but my martini glass had a large chip in it. By the time it was replaced, my wife had finished her cocktail. We finished the calamari. The marinara arrived after. The butter lettuce salad with avocado (delicious) came next. I asked for pepper. It arrived halfway through the salad. That pretty much sums up the pacing and attention to detail. For our mains, my wife ordered the eggplant parmesan--reliably good. I had the chicken paillard with arugula. It was dry and flavorless. They offered to remake it. The second version was just as dry and just as inedible. At that point, I was done. Then the check arrived--and they comped my wife's less expensive entrée instead of the dish that was actually the problem. That felt like taking the cheap way out. It's a shame, because it's a lovely space and service has been top-notch in the past (thank you, Nico and Jasmine). But this visit dropped them from five stars to one. Too bad we won't see Nico and Jasmine again. read more

I love this restaurant. I have been coming here for many years. The best way to describe it is, the food is absolutely delicious and the place is very classy. The bar is a great place to mingle and eat. Friday evenings and Saturday evenings are best times to come in my opinion. The service is always impeccable at the bar. Be sure to have the spicy pepperoni mushroom pizza it is excellent with a glass of red wine I suggest Nebiolo read more

We came to this cute location in West Hollywood after seeing a show at the Pantages. It was also Pride. We were able to park because they have valet. We sat outside on the patio. Service was average. We started with a Moscato cocktail, which was so delicious. Our appetizer was the whipped ricotta and truffle honey crostini... we couldn't stop eating this!! Our main was the Cavatelli lamb ragu, which was good. For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake with lemon ricotta gelato, Devine!! It is expensive to dine here but it was a fun experience . We would come again! read more

Immediately, I noticed how beautiful the indoor and outdoor seating was. It had this soothing, expensive sort of ambience, and the service only added to that experience. The calamari was incredible. I only wish it were a little crispier but besides that, the flavors were phenomenal. My ranking onward would be: Cavatelli, Bolognese, and lastly the Panna Cotta. read more

Such a great place for lunch! The plates for shareable, but also enough per person. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive. The ambiance was great, however, it was a hot day so there were some flys flying around which was annoying, but nothing to not make me return for more! Prices are pretty pricey, so sharing was a great choice for us to try different options. Pizza- 8/10; very flavorful and good spice given the salami Pasta- 8/10; good amount of sauce and very soft Branzino- 9/10; favorite dish here! Definitely wish it was a bigger portion but nonetheless it was amazing! Calamari- 9/10 (not pictured); squid was very soft and amazing read more

Cecconi's is a lovely restaurant, with a colorful, modern decor that's visually attractive while also being comfortable. It's clear from the moment you arrive that you're meant to be having a good time, so check your stuffiness at the door. The staff is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable, able to break down the menu or cocktail list at a moment's notice. The bill of fare offers an eclectic and creative collection of Italian dishes, all prepared well and served with an upscale flair by very well-trained food runners. We began with an appetizer of Fried Artichokes Cacio E Pepe. The lightly crisped, full-sized chokes were cooked just so and full of flavor. The dusting of cheese on top provided a nicely rich and salty contrast to clean, fresh vegetal flavors of the artichokes. Unfortunately, the accompanying Cacio E Pepe sauce was just too rich and too pungent, and after a small taste my wife and I decided to leave it aside. For mains, my wife had their plain cheese pizza, which featured buffalo mozzarella, fresh tomato sauce, and a properly charred crust, while I had the Spaghetti with Main Lobster. The pasta was al dente and piping hot, cradled in yet another variation of a traditional red sauce. My only complaint here is that the portion of lobster meat is quite small. Given the $50+ price tag you'd hope for at least a bit more lobster. Dessert was a Pana Cotta with macerated strawberries that was a light and perfect blend of sweetness with farm fresh summer fruit. While some of the food may miss its mark by just a tad, Cecconi's is a welcoming and pleasing place to enjoy an Italian meal that's flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. read more

Came by for a business lunch, it was really packed so definitely a popular spot in the city. I made a reservation in advance and we had to wait a few minutes before being sat at our table. Service was good, they're very professional here. I ordered the branzino for lunch with comes with sauteed spinach and cherry tomatoes. It came out quicker than I expected. It was light and healthy. It might have been a touch overcooked. I read some really extraordinary reviews about the branzino going into this meal, so I don't think it quite lived up to those expectations. Good but not OMG good and not sure it's worth the inflated cost of over $50. Great spot for a business meal! read more

I must say that I am impressed by this restaurant. I happened to go by this place, which was a hop and a skip from the hotel I was staying at. Our party shared many different items and I was too engrossed in our conversations to remember what we had. All I know is that the quality of the food, wine, cocktails, and the dessert options were amazing. The waitstaff were superb as well, extremely knowledgeable about anything and everything on the menu. Didn't realize this place is a chain and that they have a location in BK (Dumbo). Super impressive that the restaurant is nut-free (peanut and tree nut apparently), which was great for our party since two of us have tree nut allergies. Will definitely go back. Much enjoyed. read more

Went on a double date here last night. Reservation was at 7:30 but they still Seated is at 8:00 due to finding parking. We got a corner couch spot. Enjoyed the zucchini fritter fries and squash blossoms. They were delicious. I enjoyed the Chardonnay and my husband had an espresso martini which he said was delightful. I had the brown butternut squash tortellini and it wasn't great. It almost tasted burnt and not a good texture. The kale salad was super tasty. Our friend ordered fusili but because ts so loud in the restaurant the waiter thought she said a kale salad. They fixed the order right away. The tiramisu was delicious. Enjoyed the profiteroles but didn't understand the gelato was going to make them into ice cream sandwiches. Messy but delicious. read more

We loved this place! The ambiance was great, as was the food. The restaurant offers, outdoor, indoor, and covered patio seating. We were seated in the covered patio. There were four overhead heaters in our area. It can get toasty when all four heaters are on. For appetizers we got the calamari and whipped ricotta with honey. The calamari was great. I liked the hot peppers that accompanied the dish. The whipped ricotta was great too. I loved the lightness of this dish and spreading the cheese on the crackers. For main dishes, our table got the mushroom risotto, branzino, pasta bolognese, petite filet, and the special truffle risotto. The branzino was a nice, light fish. It had great flavors and wasn't too heavy. The filet was cooked well and some thought it was the best steak they had ever had. The mushroom risotto had great depths of flavors and wasn't too heavy. It was well seasoned. The pasta bolognese was a good size and was yummy. I splurged on the special risotto. It was cooked with sparkling wine, rather than regular white wine, and was topped with truffles. The presentation of both risottos was memorable. They were both served table-side. The special risotto was stirred in a cheese wheel and truffles rained down atop of the dish. All the dishes were amazing. For dessert we got the tiramisu and the green apple crostata. Both were of sharable size. The tiramisu was a bit larger than the crostata. Both had great flavors. The crostata wasn't tart, as I had expected it to be. The crust was perfect and we loved the sugar crystals sprinkled along the top of it. read more

I've been wanting to go to this restaurant forever. And I finally got a chance to last night. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. It's a beautiful restaurant the setting is magnificent. But it's overpriced for the food that was delivered. I ordered the lobster spaghetti. I asked what it would cost to add extra lobster and I was told $40. So I told him to do it. I was so looking forward to having this dish after hearing about how fabulous this restaurant was for so long. I was so disappointed the spaghetti came out completely dry and I couldn't even find the extra lobster. When the manager came over, he goes see there's some right there. See there's some right there. I couldn't believe it he had to point out where the lobster was after. I paid an extra $40 to have extra lobster added. I finally settle along just asking him for extra sauce because the spaghetti was so dry and that did help. But I would not go back there again. And I can't recommend it. I paid $120 for lobster spaghetti that was dry and horrible where you could hardly find the lobster. Don't waste your money. Go someplace else. read more

I've been to this restaurant many times and usually enjoy it, but my most recent visit was honestly disappointing from the moment we were seated. We were offered an outside table because of live music, which was fine, but it was cold. We were told blankets would be brought out to us--they never arrived. I understood the host was busy, but I also asked both the server and a busser, and still received nothing. Service throughout the night was lacking. Our server seemed disengaged and uninterested. When I asked about different meat options, he replied, "If you don't see it on the menu, then we don't have it," which came off unnecessarily sassy and off-putting. I ordered a side of prosciutto and bread, and they came out at completely different times--we were done with one item before the other even arrived. I waited a very long time for a refill on iced tea, only getting one after waving the server down multiple times. Our salad arrived with no share spoons and tasted off, but I couldn't even communicate that because the server was never available. The pizza was undercooked, and no one checked on us until we were almost done eating. By then, we had barely touched the food and were just ready to leave. When I walked to the server station to pay--since no one came to our table--the server told me, "I take that at the table, go back and I'll be there once I'm done at the bar." At that point the service felt dismissive at best. The way the server looked us up and down from the very beginning also made me feel like there was some judgment happening, possibly even racially motivated, as if he assumed we wouldn't tip well. I left feeling honestly embarrassed that I even spent money here. The bill wasn't cheap, but the service definitely was. I've supported this place many times, but this experience truly has me questioning if I'll ever return. read more

The absolute best low-lit restaurant serving delicious dishes. The food here is consistently good. The service couldn't be better, and the ambiance is an indoor/outdoor air-y themed.

I really enjoyed the ambience, the bar area is very nice and I would've enjoyed sitting there, but we are able to get to our table pretty quickly. We had good service, our waiter was very friendly and helpful. I had the lychee martini and that was decent. For an appetizer, we had theartichoke Cacio E Pepe. It was good, but I was hoping it would have been better. For dinner I got one of the specials, I got the spaghetti Cacio e Pepe. This dish was fantastic, although quite pricey. Overall, I enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant and the food was decent; but I definitely think it was a bit pricier than I would've liked. read more
