    Pane with HOM Dip
    Nate P.

    Just fantastic food and vibe. Little spot off Ventura with a nice bar. Staff was excellent and made sure I was taken care of. I went with the penne Genovese and tha panne with ricotta basil dip I think. The bread was perfectly fluffy and well complemented with the dip. The Genovese was delightful, I was hoping to have some to bring home but i deleted the whole plate. Not sure about parking as I walked over, it's likely street parking unless they had something in back. Definitely give this spot a try, I feel like you can't miss with whatever you get.

    These are my 3 favorite dishes with a delicious glass of your favorite wine...what else could you ask for?! Photos included! That home feel with delicious food and excellent service!

    As promised I came back to try the vodka pepperoni and this might be the best pizza in the Valley! True gem of a restaurant.

    I'm pretty picky when it comes to Italian food, but this place truly hits the spot. It's the perfect spot for a cozy date night or a nice dinner out. Everything is made fresh in-house, from the pizza dough to the pasta, so be prepared to wait a little. Trust me, it's worth it, you won't be disappointed. They also have a full bar with some amazing cocktails, so don't skip out on those. My favorite dish is the cavatelli, but the lemon chicken is also absolutely delicious. I highly recommend making a reservation since they tend to fill up fast. There's both indoor and patio seating, plus convenient street parking right out front.

    No sauce just  salty meat and fettuccine

    Ordered late night dinner with my wife and it was very disappointing. Both our meals were so salty that we couldn't even finish it . I ordered the Bolognese and my wife ordered the Alfredo both meals had no sauce , completely dry and salty . The pictures on yelp looked very misleading compared to what we received tonight .

    This lovely restaurant probably was the closest in terms of food when I was in Naples, Italy. Our new benchmark? Absolutely an easy YES!!! Normally, I write in a very descriptive way but this time I am speechless! It's more than a party in my mouth but if it's something heavenly then what more else can I say? We came with no reservations as we arrived exactly at 5 pm. Glad we did! Sat almost instantaneously and we soon got comfortable. It feels like home and I can tell we'll be surprised with their essentially crafted aromatic savory freshly made authentic Italian cuisine. One bite and we're in love! What a lovely experience! We can't wait to go back! Excellent service! Warm and friendly vibe. Street parking only.

    I'm not going to lie, I drive past H.O.M Italian Eatery every day and never stopped to check it out. I'm glad I finally did. From the moment I walked in, the place had a really nice, inviting energy. The owner personally sat me down, took my order, and shared the story behind the restaurant and his background growing up in the industry. That level of hospitality stood out right away. Customer service was easily 10/10. The food was solid. The baby gnocchi was really good, and the bread with butter and honey, chef's kiss. Definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

    My order arrived earlier than expected and with the extra dressing I asked for - outstanding ! Food was tasty and the portion size adequate ! Bread was an extra bonus too - only drawback was no butter or the silverware I asked for otherwise all good !

    Tagliatelle Ragu

    I stopped by for Dinner with an old friend and had an overall good experience. This restaurant is in a nice location and is aesthetically pleasing. I had a reservation and was seated instantly which is always a plus. Our server was also attentive and pleasant. Instantly, the first thing you'll notice are the fresh flavors. My friend & I ordered a flatbread as an appetizer and it was delicious. It was not on the menu, our server mentioned it was a special item. All I remember is it had eggplant in it which I don't normally go for but this one was amazing. The eggplant and cheese were perfectly seasoned and the bread was light in the middle with a crunchy exterior. If I am not mistaken, the dough also tasted like it could have been sourdough, but I did not confirm those details (sorry). The tomato sauce tasted extremely fresh, it was very light and tomato forward. My main was the Tagliatelle Ragu and my friend ordered the Linguine Pesto. The sausage in the Ragu was very tasty, the pasta was cooked al dente and the dish was good, but I wasn't crazy about it. It was too tomato forward imo. My friend enjoyed her dish and said the pistachio's added a very interesting texture and taste to her dish. Overall, it was a good experience. I will definitely be returning to try something else off the menu soon.

    Is it noisy?

We got a very late night last minute reservation, and we were seated outside under all of the beautiful twinkle trees. Music was playing, but it wasn't too loud (perfect for a first date or a nice dinner outing with friends!). Our waitress was so sweet, attentive, made great recommendations, and the bussers constantly were there to wipe down the table and take away old plates and silverware. I ended up sharing everything with a friend, and I'm so happy I did because it was hard to choose! The Cucumber & Basil cocktail was FANTASTIC!! You could taste the tequila, but still was a perfect mixture. As a bartender I am picky with my drinks and this was so refreshing and delicious. I ordered the Corn Pasta and my friend ordered the branzino. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you this was the best pasta I have had in the states!! It genuinely reminded me of being in Italy. The same way you don't feel gross after eating a bowl of pasta there-- that's how I felt here. It was light and delicious and such a unique flavor! The branzino was perfectly cooked. It came with a delicious cucumber salad under the fish as well. We then decided to order the spicy pomodoro pasta! I'm not huge spicy person, so this was perfect for me. Just a subtle hint of spice at the end. And the basil oil really took this dish over the edge. Finally, we had to get the banana pudding tiramisu. When I tell you, I am known in my friend group as the lover of these two desserts, so when my friend showed me that this restaurant had them both combined.. I immediately booked my reservation. And it did not disappoint! It was light and creamy and a wonderful dessert to end those marvelous dishes. I was STUFFED by the end of this but was well worth it!! 10/10 recommend. Will absolutely be booking again soon.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!
