chicken wrap
Jason N.

I got the grilled chicken Caesar wrap and it definitely didn't disappoint. I already love Caesar dressing, so the slight tanginess was a big plus for me. The chicken was crispy and paired really well with the thin wrap and salad inside. Over time it does get a little dry though, so I'd recommend getting an extra sauce on the side. The portions are massive and one wrap is more than enough for one person. I'd actually suggest coming with a friend, ordering two different items, and splitting them so you can try more of the menu. Parking is honestly the main thing that keeps me from coming more often. The parking validation is only for a limited time and doesn't really give enough time to fully enjoy your meal stress free. That said, the staff here are awesome. Everyone is super enthusiastic and welcoming, almost like they're treating customers like family. The ambience, service, and food were all on point.

Wow talk about customer service! I was greeted with the most enthusiastic and friendly guy (I wish I remembered his name) and it set me up be extra excited to try this sandwich spot for the first time. They have a great menu and I think the sandwiches are priced well especially for the size and how good they are! I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and it was so good, I can't wait to come back for another one! I also got the chocolate chip cookies which were good. The inside has plenty of seating and I love how unique it is! Very cute spot and delicious sandwiches!

Unbelievably yummy crispy chicken wrap!!! Came here after seeing this wrap go viral on social media and from hearing great things from word of mouth, and it did not disappoint! Chicken is so crispy, the ceasar dressing is delicious, and portions are huge! Besides the amazing wrap, the service and overall vibes inside is wonderful!! The server was so energetic, happy, and joking around with everyone inside! I would 10/10 recommend this place :) The only thing is parking can be challenging just given the busy location in Brentwood fyi!

Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap

Absolutely delicious!!! I am so obsessed with this wrap it was so good! Perfect size and flavors. I even got it door-dashed and the quality was perfect so I can't imagine in person. It's a casual spot so definitely can stop by at any time. The service was great and my friend and I loved our food. There are few chicken Caesar salad wraps that have the perfect consistency but this was yummy! Definitely will be back.

I wanted to share feedback on our experience today. Everyone who works here was so kind and it was clear they were very busy. The restaurant has a very welcoming vibe but limited seating. We came in and ordered two sandwiches but it took over an hour to receive our order. I'm not sure how it happened but several people who ordered well after us received their food first. After waiting around I watched our ticket get pulled down and attached to a bag with my husband's sandwich and then it sat for about 20 minutes before my sandwich was finished. When we were finally handed our order I did appreciate that they let us know our order had been refunded. Unfortunately by the time we were able to eat the food it was cold and soggy. We really want to love this place the ingredients are great and I've been searching for a good eggplant parm spot so I truly hope things improve.

While I was sad to see the old NY Bagel leave this spot, Ggiata is a welcome addition to the Brentwood food scene. I'm happy to have a casual and undeniably tasty spot! We ordered the Italian and the Draper. Both were on delicious soft and fresh bread. I loved the sesame roll: plenty of fillings and not overly complicated. I love the interior style - tile floors, cozy seating, feels familiar and comfortable. The staff could not be nicer!

Finally got to try the viral crispy chicken caesar wrap! I really enjoyed the texture of the wrap, it was chewy and nicely charred. The romaine was fresh and had a nice crunch, the salad was nicely dressed-just the right amount and not too much. While the crispy chicken had great flavor and batter, the meat was a little dry. The Caesar dressing on the side was a nice touch, and tangy and complimented the wrap well. A nice lunch option if I'm in the area- it's good but I wouldn't drive across town for it per se, it's more of a good bite if your around type of establishment!

troy who checked me and my bf out really hooked it up with the hospitality and customer service, he was so welcoming and gave us the right recommendation for which sandwhiches to order. the philly cheesesteak is amazinggg and the big burr and the cookies for something sweet after ;) definitely will be back

I've tried Ggiata twice now - the WeHo and Brentwood locations. Honestly, much as I want to love it - and there's a lot to get excited about when you look at the menu - i'm just always disappointed with my meal. I just think that this is one of those places where the hype is bigger than the reality. Their sides are better than their mains - The eggplant fries are great, and the arancini is solid (I find the marinara sauce too sweet). I've had both the buffalo chicken wrap, and the chicken parm sandwich. Both were super underwhelming. The wrap was loosely wrapped and light on dressing and flavor. The chicken in the parm was so over-cooked that taking a bite dragged the entire piece of chicken out of the bread. My friend has always liked her sandwiches, and each location's decor is cute. I am willing to try more, but I'm definitely no longer excited for this.

Damn, what I can I say about this place. It's like dropping a quarter down the well, hoping for a wish to come true. All dreams with a letdown. You walk in , it's got the noise and pleasant staff to support you. However the food lacks seasoning and you can tell that it's made for the specific target market. This spot has a nice water well for cups and they got paper/chrome cups. The price was hefty and not worth it. It's good for the one time and one time only. 4/10. Forgetboutit, keep the grease on the bag and let me know that it's worth it. Not enough meat and especially seasoning.

The Burr (tuna)
Ashley P.

I've tried this location three times since they opened as I'm a Brentwood local. I will say the service is fast and friendly but I'm just not into the food I've tried so far. I wish there was more bread options as I did not like the seeded baguette and I'm not into ciabatta. I've tried the Classic Italian, The Burr, and the buffalo chicken wrap. The size and presentation are excellent given the price tag as I would hope they would be. I'll probably end up trying more menu items since I'm in the area. The decor is cute and it's nice they have the bar seating in addition to the tables.

The Lily

Wait time was about 20-30 minutes at approximately 12:30pm on a Wednesday. First time trying their breakfast - pretty solid. Sesame roll to egg ratio could have been a bit more balanced but overall, taste was 9/10.

The Burr Sandwich
Stacia H.

This ain't your grandpa's deli and that's the whole point. From the second you walk in, Ggiata hits you with great energy, great vibes, and seriously next-level food. This place understands sandwiches the way a luxury brand understands details, nothing basic, nothing phoned in. First things first: split the sandwich. These are BIG, generous portions, perfect for sharing with a friend. Do one sandwich, chips on both sides, and you've got the ideal setup. I had the tuna sandwich (I believe it's called The Bird), and WOW. So much flavor. Capers, banana peppers, bright, briny, perfectly balanced, and hands-down one of the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had. You can taste the intention in every bite. Also, the staff is amazing--friendly, fast, and they make the whole place feel welcoming without trying too hard. And the music? Always a vibe. Whatever you do, don't skip the cookies. They are to die for. Soft, rich, packed with flavor. Truly unskippable. Quick PSA: if you're looking for a cheap, basic sandwich, respectfully--go to Jersey Mike's or Subway. This is not that! This is a step above. Elevated, thoughtful, and worth every bite. Ggiata is fun, flavorful, and doing deli food the right way. I'll be back, again and again! - A neighborhood local

It is tossed with shrimp, mushrooms, and roasted pancetta, all in a rich creamy bisque. Our party of 5 all ordered this and we never regret it (about $25 per plate). We also ordered a seasonal dish called Paccheri Nero Di Polpo featuring squid ink paccheri pasta cut to resemble calamari and served with cooked octopus ragù. They serve free bread as you wait and you can help yourself to olive oil, vinegar, and/or their chili oil. Can't go wrong with an order of calamari. Their meat balls were tasty and more sausage forward.

Maccheroni Republic - Life is full of pasta-bilities!…read more So if you know anything about me, you know that I love pasta more than just about anything. While I can only officially claim about 12% Italian heritage, I'm 100% down for Italian food, especially homemade pasta, any day of the week. I'm spending this week in Little Tokyo for a conference, and while Japanese food is also absolutely my jam, when Maccheroni Republic slid into my Yelp feed, I knew that I had to hoof it over there immediately after we broke for the day. I saw the front of the building, and my heart sank because it looked closed, but then I noted the sign that indicated that the entrance is on the right side of the building through the courtyard. Thank goodness! I strutted through the courtyard, and observed about 15 people waiting for tables. Unbothered, I went up to the host stand and chatted with the stylish maitre'd - Dino - who indicated that he could have a table for me in 7-10 minutes. I proceeded to wait and I watched how he deftly sat the other waiting parties in order without difficulty or notes. To the untrained eye, it might have looked a little chaotic, but Dino absolutely knew what he was doing. About 15 minutes later, Dino sat me at a corner deuce in the inside dining room where I had a nice view of everything. Angel efficiently took my order and did a very good job of overseeing my table as well as about nine others. The dining room is so cute and homey, and the patio is a welcome respite from the bustle and business of downtown. Since I was "da sola" or on my own, I just tried the shrimp cakes and I ordered the Rigatoni all Norma which is one of of my go to pasta dishes since I don't eat much meat. Incidentally, this dish is named after Norma, the famous 19th-century opera composed by Catanese native Vincenzo Bellini. According to legend, a famous Sicilian playwright, Nino Martoglio, tried the pasta and was so overwhelmed by its perfection that he exclaimed, "Chista è 'na vera Norma!" ("This is a true Norma!"), comparing the culinary masterpiece to the musical one. So says Wikipedia anyway. The shrimp cakes were delivered quickly by a sweet food runner who kindly checked on me periodically during my dinner. The four shrimp cakes were accompanied by sauteed onions which paired really nicely with the crispy cakes that were brightened with a spritz from the fresh lemon wedge. She also brought a basket with four slices of Italian bread which I enjoyed with the EVOO and Balsamic that were on the table. My Watermelon Ciao was also so good. It was sweetly tart and such a nice treat on a Monday! Not long after I polished off the shrimp cakes, the rigatoni was delivered and dusted with a generous layer of parmigiana. The little fresh mozzarella pearls glistened on the top of the pasta and slowly melted and oozed into the sauce as I stirred it up. Yum! The rigatoni were al dente and delicious, and they were perfectly sauced. Of course, the eggplant was perfectly cooked as well, I only wish there had been a few more pieces of it - although by the time I ate the last noodle, I was so full! Alas, I had no room for dessert, but I intend to bring some of my conference colleagues back for a meal before the end of the week because it was THAT GOOD. I also loved that this place is NOT pretentious at all. There were all sorts of folks enjoying their food here from medical professionals in scrubs to college kids in shorts and t-shirts, and I was also very casually attired, but I was treated well and welcomed with graciousness and delicious food! Mille grazie Maccheroni Republic, Dino, Angel and everyone at this wonderfully lowkey yet fabulous trattoria.

Less is more. But let's talk art (culinary, that is). The dishes certainly deserve main features. To start "the best Caesar salad in LA" and I quote which was certainly true.

To complete it, banana pudding tiramisu -- delicious too with a firm center and oozy outside. Atala was wonderful and very sweet.

Of the things we ordered, I really loved the farro salad ($22?) best. Refreshing pomegranate seeds are mixed with the farro and give the salad an added crunch. The farro sits on a bed of dill infused crème fraiche. It is a deliciously refreshing salad and the perfect complement to any meal. For pastas, the sweet corn agnolotti ($28) was so light and fun. The little pockets of agnolotti is stuffed with corn and swims in a savory broth anchored by crème fraiche. It's giving summer and I'm absolutely here for it. Cento's dining space is quaint, so make sure to make a resy.

I had…read moreflown from New York during a dreary stretch, and landing in sunny Los Angeles felt like arriving on another planet. California offered an immediate rush of light, space, and possibility. My memory is that when I turned my phone back on at LAX, my friend messaged to say he'd gotten us the hookup at Bestia. That dinner belongs to a chapter in which I spent considerable time in California and felt energized by the contrast with New York. My friend is highly discerning, with impeccable taste in food, design, and culture. He notices details most people miss, so when a place impresses him, I pay attention. From the moment I saw his message, I knew the reservation meant something. Even before we entered, Bestia's character was evident. Faded lettering crossed the corrugated metal facade, while brick walls and old loading doors preserved the warehouse's industrial history. Inside, enormous windows and garage doors brought light into a room shaped by glass, exposed ductwork, and warm amber pendants. When I fantasize about living in a loft, many of the attributes I picture are here, especially the incredible windows and connection to the street. Inside the restaurant, the dining room achieved a combination I rarely encounter. It had the table density and collective buzz of a great New York restaurant, but within a large, design-forward space closer in scale to something found in Chicago. New York creates energy through tight rooms, while Chicago excels at ambitious spaces with strong architectural identities. Bestia captured both advantages and made its considerable footprint feel alive and unified. We sat shoulder to shoulder at a pale stone counter facing the open kitchen. Golden era hip hop was playing, and A Tribe Called Quest still rings a very specific bell. I ordered the squid ink pasta, and it was exquisite, with enough depth and precision to command attention amid everything happening around us. We also spotted an unmistakably A-list celebrity, whom I will leave unnamed, making the night feel quintessentially Los Angeles. During that period, I often stayed at the Ace Hotel downtown, and the Arts District felt vibrant, raw, and full of possibility. The proximity to Skid Row could be deeply jarring, with severe hardship existing beside ambitious development and expensive restaurants. That contrast kept the neighborhood from feeling like a neat story of urban renewal, even as Bestia seemed to anchor its evolution. The warehouses and loading docks gave the area a character that no new development could convincingly recreate. Nearby, I also remember the American Apparel complex during its demise and the rise of impossibly cool Los Angeles designer John Elliott. His Escobar sweatpants and Villain hoodie helped define the kit of that moment; loyalists will understand. Los Angeles is a fickle city, drawn toward whatever is new and shiny, which makes Bestia's longevity especially impressive. Scene without substance is plastic, and Bestia earned its electricity through exceptional cooking, assured service, and a remarkable space; if I lived in Los Angeles, this would be one of the places I'd rely on whenever I wanted to impress someone. This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in the world.

Loved that it had some classic dishes and some fusion ones as well. Came on a Friday night and joined the waitlist but only had to wait about 10 minutes!

For appetizers we went with the server's recommendation; chicken gizzard confit. Chicken gizzard confit was mind blowing. As someone who enjoys things like gizzard, these were cooked in a way I had never had before and it was delicious. The uni pasta was sooo rich, creamy, and flavorful. 10/10 I would recommend it.

Once step inside, the decoration, the vibe totally changed. It's a dark hue with humbling yet elegant setting with a bar table and I almost felt like a dining in the cave ambiance. The menu was not complicated and only focused on pasta, but there are so many choices to my liking! The squid ink, the mentai cream, the uni sauce, and the garlic butter sauce. We ended up settling with Creamy Crab Gratin, mentai cream pasta, the Pescatore Bianca (seafood spaghetti), and Tarako Spaghetti (Cod roe and squid garlic butter sauce). -Crab Gratin is really creamy and cheesy. I just didn't quite get why there are a few pieces of penne pasta inside. But overall tasted good! -All pasta comes with bread and salad. The salad is really fresh and serve mostly lettuce and cherry tomato, which is how I like it. The dressing is not the ranch creamy kind, more cloudy vinaigrette based, also to my liking. -Seafood spaghetti came with a variety of seafood, shrimp, squid ring, mussels, clams, etc. The portion is huge. -Mentai cream pasta: delicious! I think if I order uni pasta, it'll be the same cream base sauce but with uni and $6 bucks more. I'm happy with my choice. The whole dish is consistent, creamy with a slight kick from the mentai, slices of mushrooms and shredded seaweeds on the top. Delish! -Tarako Spaghetti: I took a small bite and appreciated the strong taste of garlic butter in the sauce. -All 3 pasta are served with the thin spaghetti like angel hair. Service is ok, we asked for water refill and the response was polite. Dirty dishes were taken away timely. If I had more time, I would definitely come back for a second visit. A place like this deserves to be in a more upscale block on the street. Btw, parking inside the plaza is not free even though it's just a strip mall. Expect about $8 bucks for dinner parking. It's gated entrance. If you get lucky, you can park on the street and pay the meter.

It was busy TV NOT SHOWING DODGER GAME ooof very bad news bears ! Service was efficient & hospitable ( mind you we sat at the bar) We unfortunately missed happy hour so ordered off the full menu & in my opinion the full dinner menu on a Thursday night in the spring time is extremely limited So we ordered a salmon appetizer, a burrata appetizer & a meat pasta entrée to share. I had a tequila based cocktail. He had a bourbon or whiskey based cocktail. (Not stiff btw) The food was not disgusting. But it was not life changing & portions are tiny ! The views are breathtaking like if you are a 17 or 20 year-old celebrating your birthday, or a tourist; it's very romantic and just beautiful. But I have worked in downtown for many many years and have seen transformations and I am immune kinda, to the views, like not in a bad way, but ive just been exposed to this so long, in other words, if a first date brought me here, it wouldn't impress me. AnyWho, in addition to the interior seating & the bar seating, the patio seating is vast & spacious, & in my personal opinion, a walk from the bar in other words, the servers are racking in a minimum of 15,000 steps a shift (which I'm jealous of by the way), but my point is the patio is humongous & therefore, if you choose to sit outside, you may wait a long time for your items, check, etc. & service possibly. So the restrooms have single private stalls, but the actual sink to wash your hands is open for both sexes. Upon leaving before 8 PM, it got really busy. Yes I will return if the situation calls for it and yes, I will recommend. But I absolutely will not make it a point or go out of my way to return.

Wow, I was surprised at how busy this place was on a Wednesday night. We had 5:45 pm reservations…read moreand when we got here the places was FULL. I feel the seating was a little tight in certain areas put they did make clear walking paths. Traffic to get here was horrible but we got lucky and found a non-metered spot about a block away as soon as we arrived in the area. For apps, we ordered the garlic bread and meatballs. The garlic bread was different. It was a sourdough loaf with oozing garlic butter inside but was only toasted whole so overall ate very soft and I missed the typically toastiness I get with most garlic bread. The flavor was still very good, especially dipping it into the marinera that accompanied the meatballs. For entrees and sides, we ordered the lasagna, the eggplant tortellini, the chicken parmesan and the broccolini. I can only say they really like their parmesan here. I'm not the biggest fan so I brushed a lot of it off. The tortellini was the star of the show for me and I think it was partially because all the other dishes were marinera + parmesan so it gave a nice break in the flavor profile. Something to consider when ordering next time. The chicken parmesan was delicious. I found the lasagna to be okay and would pass on the broccolini next time (to be fair, I got rid of all the cheese so that probably change the flavor profile they were going for).

Food was absolutely amazing. Quality of the noodles and the pizza were impeccable, and the cooks…read morehave it down to a science. The highlight was the zucchini blossoms, their special. I recommend the arrabbiata, the oxtail ragu, and the amatriciana.

It was the husband's choice for our final birthday celebration dinner and he was quick to decide on…read moreMother Wolf. Why? For the BISTECCA ALLA FIORENTINA (38oz Prime Porterhouse). I know, crazy, right? But we did it! You'd think just having the Porterhouse would be enough -- apparently it wasn't because we started with bread. At our server's recommendation we chose the bruschetta. Wow, what a fantastic start! The crunchy charred bread topped with the creamy Burrata and house made apricot jam was beyond delicious! Then he asked for his favorite pasta from our last visit -- SPAGHETTI ALL'ARRABBIATA. We can never get tired of this one. The house made pasta coated in that spicy sauce is so satisfying. Then came the steak. Although our server warned us that it was huge, we were still surprised when it arrived. But then came the included sides of fried fingerling potatoes and Ruchetta salad -- to say 'generous portions' is an understatement. I literally laughed at the mountain of salad when it arrived. It was all just incredible. The Prime Porterhouse was at the correct temperature, seasoned well and melt in your mouth amazing. The fried potatoes were hot, crisp and tasty. The salad was so good that the husband ate it -- I couldn't believe it! I tapped out early and in order to leave room for dessert, I had to force the husband to stop. We chose the CROSTATA DI MARMELLATA because of the apricots. We were so happy to have dined while they're in season and incorporated into Mother Wolf's menu. We were then surprised with complimentary sorbet (NETTARINA) and gelato (VANIGLIA) for our birthdays. Beautifully presented, the sweetness of each dessert was perfectly balanced and a wonderful end to a fantastic dinner. And this goes without saying -- service was impeccable. Thanks to the Mother Wolf team for another great experience!
