For the past 15 years, I have driven past Miceli's and never been. But I had the opportunity to go…read moreand it did NOT disappoint. This is such a classic, old school Italian restaurant. It is pretty cool because all the servers are singers and you will get to enjoy a show. A live piano player and live music. This was a good time. The staff are super kind. We ordered calamari. They were regular. Nothing to brag about. And I ordered the lasagna which was very divine. It was cheesy. Plentiful. Perfectly seasoned. The food is TOO GOOD. There's PLENTY of seats and a mini size parking lot.

We were nearby in NoHo for a play and decided upon Italian for dinner via the AAdvantage program…read moreand this place was in their network. I did not see a designated parking lot (just street) but there was plenty of street parking available with no meters on Sunday. The dining experience is cool as it has that old world charm to it with the checkered table cloths in classic Italian style. As for the food, it was just mediocre. We started off with the antipasto salad and that is a total waste of money for what you get (16.95). It was on the smaller side and was not a traditional antipasto salad. It had the salami and cheese on the bottom of the plate (in whole slices) along with some regular lettuce on top with two green onions and some green olives on the side and some red onions (at 1st I thought that our server brought us the wrong salad). As for our entrees, I ordered the spinach lasagna and it was ok. The portion size was small but since lasagna is generally heavy I was able to finish it. BFF ordered the baked mostaccioli with Italian sausage added to it and his was a bigger portion. We had two soft drinks and some water with our meal and the total came to 110.00 incl tip. Ouch! Our server was friendly but not overly and the service was good. I really wanted to like this establishment but the food did not impress me at all. Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen in LA and I rarely make it to this area; therefore, I highly doubt I will be back.

I have become a regular at Il Tramezzino and I will never stop raving about it. It's one of those…read moreplaces where everything on the menu is good and always delivers. The salmon salad is my personal favorite and I order it constantly, but the avocado toast deserves its own moment. I brought a friend recently who said "avocado toast always tastes the same" -- and I told her not here. She understood immediately on her first bite. It is bursting with flavor in a way that has no business being as good as it is. I mean, it's bread, avocado, some cheese, fresh basil.... but it SINGS! The desserts are delicious, the server recommendations are genuinely solid (they actually know the menu and steer you right), and the service overall is warm and attentive. Special shoutout to Miles, who is always a joy and makes you feel genuinely welcomed every time. The space is small with both indoor and outdoor seating, but that's part of the charm -- it feels less like a restaurant and more like going over to a friend's house for dinner. They take real care of you here, attentive, superior, friendly service. If you haven't been, go. And when you get there, order the avocado toast -- even if you think you've had good avocado toast before. You haven't had this one. But seriously, anything you order will be great! Easy street parking and during the day for lunch they have a valet just next to Voyage et Cie (shop next door) that's reasonably priced.

Ca' Del Sole is one of Southern California's best-kept secrets and, without question, one of my…read morefavorite restaurants. Tucked away in an unexpected corner of North Hollywood, you walk through the entrance and suddenly feel as though you've been transported to a breathtaking Italian garden. The ambiance is absolutely magical and easily ranks among my top 10 dining experiences in Southern California. I've been coming here for well over a decade, and it has never lost its charm. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic date night, meeting friends for brunch, or simply treating yourself to an unforgettable meal, Ca' Del Sole delivers every single time. The food is exceptional. Every dish is beautifully prepared with the quality, elegance, and attention to detail you'd expect from an upscale restaurant in France or Italy--but at prices that are surprisingly reasonable. It's rare to find a restaurant that feels this luxurious without the luxury price tag. Their brunch is outstanding, dinner is absolutely spectacular, and every meal feels like an occasion. The service is equally impressive. It's not unusual to spot an A-list celebrity dining here, but what I love most is that everyone is treated like a VIP. The hospitality is warm, genuine, and consistently exceptional. The staff has a way of making every guest feel welcome, appreciated, and completely taken care of. I especially love the beautiful cabanas and garden patio. It's one of those places where you find yourself lingering because you simply don't want the experience to end. Honestly, part of me wants to keep Ca' Del Sole a secret so I can always get a table--but restaurants this special deserve to be celebrated. If you're looking for incredible food, world-class service, unforgettable ambiance, and one of the most romantic dining experiences in Los Angeles, this is the place. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back, and if I could, I'd happily celebrate every special occasion here.

Even with a reservation, expect a short wait. They hold tables for late arrivals, which often leaves empty tables sitting while people are waiting. A little tighter management would go a long way. Once you're seated, though, everything runs like clockwork. This location has a full liquor license, so unlike some of the others, you can enjoy proper cocktails in addition to beer and wine. The bar is spacious and perfect for dinner. The food comes out incredibly fast without sacrificing quality. If you're not planning a long evening, you can easily be in and out in 45 minutes. I only snapped photos of the Alla Vodka and tiramisu, but I've worked my way through a good part of the menu. The Gem Lettuce Salad, Beef Bolognese, meatballs, and pizzas are all consistently excellent. Honestly, it's hard to order wrong here. The staff is friendly, efficient, and the restaurant is always clean. The hosts? Let's just say they're very... LA, you already know the vibe.... thankkkkk uuuuuu Great food, great drinks, fast service, and remarkable consistency. This is an easy five stars and my go-to John & Vinny's location.

The food is where this place truly shines. Every pasta dish tastes fresh, rich, and made with intention--perfectly cooked noodles paired with flavorful, well-balanced sauces. A special touch that doesn't go unnoticed: the complimentary garlic bread. Served warm, buttery, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Overall, this restaurant proves that you don't need a large space to deliver an exceptional dining experience. Between the high-quality dishes, inviting atmosphere, and standout service, it's a place you'll find yourself wanting to return to again and again.

Service was very good, our primary server was on top of things and the other people helped him out as well. Manager checked on us too. The restaurant is fairly small and was pretty full.

The history alone makes it worth a visit. We sat outside, which was lovely, and the service was friendly and attentive. The Caesar salad was fantastic. The only thing that left a bad impression was the automatic 3.5% "Kitchen Appreciation Fee" added to the bill. I don't mind paying more for great food or supporting restaurant staff, but I don't like surprise fees that aren't obvious until the check arrives. If the cost of doing business has gone up, I'd much rather see menu prices reflect that than have an extra charge automatically added at the end. I know they'll remove it if you ask, but it shouldn't come as a surprise in the first place.

The food and the experience were excellent. Our server was incredibly friendly and gave us some great recommendations to start the night. We began with the house bread, which was soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and served with balsamic and olive oil. Simple and delicious. Next up was their homemade Caesar salad. Instead of traditional croutons they use toasted crumbs, and honestly it was a game changer. The texture worked perfectly with the dressing. For our mains we had the Dover sole piccata which was bright, buttery, and exactly what we were craving, along with the seafood linguine that was rich and flavorful. We wrapped things up with a cappuccino cheesecake and an Americano which was the perfect way to end the meal. Great service, great food, and a really enjoyable dinner overall. 10/10 recommend.
