Came to this little hamlet in the heart of Los Feliz with my family and left nourished, in both belly and soul! Oscar was our server and took great care of us! We were there at 6pm on a Sunday night but they filled up quick, so I highly recommend a reservation. At dusk, candles are lit and the ambiance becomes warm and intimate; the perfect setting for date night, a birthday/anniversary, or just catching up with friends. We ordered the meatballs (polpette filanti) as an appetizer, which were perfectly moist and tender and blanketed in melty mozzarella (tip: save the sauce for your bread!!). I ordered a special, the Fusilli Toscana (Sun dried tomato, sautéed spinach, and sweet Italian sausage in a light cream sauce), and as much as I wanted to finish it, I deliberately saved half for a bonus lunch the next day! I also stole bites of the Brie and albicocche (Brie, prosciutto, and apricot!!) ravioli in their Bianco and Rosso sauce and I just about died in my seat. *chefs kiss* As if it couldn't get any better, ordered the Pansu (espresso panna cotta) and Tiramisu for dessert and right then and there swore to return when anyone comes to visit me or any time I wanna take a friend out and treat them to a wonderfully authentic Italian hidden gem called La Pergoletta! Buon Appetito!! read more

La Pergoletta is a very lovely, warm and very popular Italian restaurant; I came by from next door to order some pasta to go and they were really friendly. I got the stuffed ravioli with beef with the Pesto Cremoso (my personal favorite sauce in general) and my friend got the ravioli stuffed with mozzerella and a pomodoro sauce. The pesto sauce was so creamy and wonderful, the pasta is very fresh and cooked to perfect, not too al dente for my taste. The pomodoro sauce was bright and tangy. The bread thats included is wonderful for sopping up the excess sauce. Get the pansu if they have it in stock! Parking lot is tiny, portion can be small for its price but for the quality and vibes, I'm so glad I stumbled up on this restaurant! read more

Love tiny hole in the wall joints like this. Doesn't apply to parking though. Parking is tight and shared on a corner lot for a handful of shops and laundry. At least the lot is free. Can't speak for the street parking. Didn't look at the signs but from what I could in the immediate area, parking was pretty scarce. Welcome to Los Feliz. Walked in right at opening. Seated immediately. Small cute spot. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was excellent. Ryan was the man. He was attentive, friendly and a nice guy. Then there's the food. Grabbed the following: Minestrone 1/2 bowl Fettuccine Nero Di Seppia Al Frutti DiMare Moretti Lager The Minestrone - no meat. Just FYI. Yes, I intentionally ordered it. Wanted to be healthy. At least a little. The pasta was prepared like I like it. Lots of seafood - and I liked it. I just didn't love it. Nothing bad about it - just didn't have the knockout blow for me. Hear me though - I'd go back. I'd even have the same dish again. It was good enough for that. But I'd definitely try other dishes too. Complimentary bread is served with the meal. Next rounds are extra. they're toasted crispy. Didn't bother me too much but wouldn't have minded if it was served without any toasting. Soaks up more of the pasta sauce. read more

What We Ordered - Branzino - Salmon Con Risotto Di Limone (Grilled Salmon Lemon Risotto) - Tagliata Alla Crema Di Funghi (Fettuccine with Mushroom Cream Sauce with Filet Mignon) Made this my go to spot for celebrations! We came on Valentine's Day. They had cute decorations. I hadn't notice before but the lights were made with pasta strainers! Had to get the Branzino again. The deboned it this time around and it seemed like there was more sauce now! Delicious as our first time. My husband was trying to be a bit healthier and opted for the Salmon with Lemon Risotto. It was tasty! Salmon was not dry. We wished it came with the same sauce as the branzino but the risotto helped with that. My Fettuccine with Mushroom Cream Sauce and Filet Mignon was my husband's new favorite. Beef was cooked perfectly for him and seasoned well. I think it was a tad too salty for me but I'm just sensitive to salt. Will always be back to try new items!! read more

This is a place you bring people you love. Great time from top to bottom. Carson, our server, was thorough, efficient, and well versed in the menu. Took super great care of us. The food was wonderful. The rib special was here for a brief time and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Would love to see it added to the menu to stay ... The space was cozy, authentic, and quaint. Paper on the tables and crayons if you wanna play some tic-tac-toe while you wait for the food. Will be back! read more

Saturday - 7/25/26 - 9:10pm Despite having several Italian restaurants just minutes from home, we drove 30 minutes through traffic to dine at La Pergoletta, only to leave before ordering. We were directed to a tiny table so tightly wedged between other diners that it felt like the middle seat on a plane. We asked if we could be seated in the lower dining room, but were told they weren't seating anyone there--even though there were plenty of open tables and people were still dining in that section. The interaction made us feel unwelcome, so we decided to leave. Unfortunately, the entire experience left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

The stars aligned for our dinner at La Pergoletta! We immediately found parking in the small plaza which then had us arriving 15 minutes early to our reservation. We were the first to be seated in the Deli area at a nice corner table. The food -- EXCELLENT (as always). The husband was quite adventurous by trying new items. He had the Tagliata Classica with Filet Mignon and Fettuccine for his main, then chose the Troio for dessert. The daughter went with a lighter version of her favorite Gnocchi Ripieni by choosing Butter & Sage. Although I try and try....I just can't miss having the Branzino when it's available. It's always so, so GOOD! The staff -- super-friendly! The ambiance -- This continues to be casual and home-like. It was especially nice when the table candles were lit as the evening set in. read more

We love this family run Italian restaurant in Los Felizfeels like going for lunch to your Italian Aunt who will prep the best carbonara in minutes! I love their fresh caprese salad and every time I feel homesick (I am Italian) I treat myself with their Tiramisu'! I didn't mention the burrata, their Pastas... you gotta try it. Family friendly and not pretentious at all. Friendly staff and great family vibe. Cozy. Bravissimi! read more

Came on a Tuesday for lunch. Had a reservation for 12:15, we were 10 min late and still the first to be seated. Saw a steady stream of people doing take out. Casual, old school Italian vibes. Party of three so we ordered lunch specials and shared family style. Bruschetta with Brie and honey was a nice way to start. Minestrone soup as part of the lunch special. The best I've ever had! Such good ingredients and rustic. Spaghetti with meatballs: the meatballs being the highlight. Very moist and tasty. Paparedelle with the creamy mushrooms: perfect amount of mushrooms and cream. Spaghetti aglio olio was simple but very flavorful with garlic and a little hint of spice. All the pastas were clearly homemade and cooked perfectly: a dente and chewy. Ended the meal with tiramisu and affogato. The group was so blown away with every dish! Can't find another restaurant that hit it out of the park with each dish. So unassuming but the perfect balance. Service was excellent. The server stayed one step ahead of us. Wish it was closer to home! We'd go every week, read more

Incredible service from the get go. I went here for the first time with my girlfriend for our one year anniversary and was greeted very nicely by the hostess and was served by Jesus who was nothing short of amazing. My girlfriend and I initially chose to sit in the lower section on the inside portion of the restaurant as the ambiance was very welcoming. It felt upscale but still kept a nice "homey" vibe. Little did we know, until we sat down, that it wasn't personally right for us at the time. My girlfriend is pretty sensitive sensory wise, so I kindly asked Jesus, before we received our food, if we could move to the outside section (which was also just as nice and kept the same vibe), and everyone was very understanding and accommodating. The food was also nothing short of amazing. Very flavor packed, good portion sizes, and decent prices, especially given the experience. Pasta was cooked perfectly and hit the spot just as I needed it to. On top of that, they gave us a complimentary 1 year anniversary tiramisu, and as a fellow tiramisu fanatic, I was very impressed! Maybe some of the best I've had, I can't lie. Greatly appreciate the operation that's taking place here. Will be coming back again in the future! read more

La Pergoletta - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Some of the tables in this joint are precarious (I don't recommend sitting next to the serving station), but if you can sit in the deli room, your experience will doubly improve. We stuck with salads and pastas and that seemed like the right move. And we tried the Oreo tiramisu for kicks, and it knocked us all over. Also, our waiter was hilarious, though I'm not sure he thought we were equally so funny. read more

Wow, what a local gem! If you're looking for a classic family-owned Italian restaurant with incomparable ambiance, La Pergoletta is your spot. The menu boasts fun varieties of pastas that you can build out or choose from their classics and daily specials. I ordered the tortellinis and they were wonderful. Quality you can taste, pasta that is made in house and fresh, and cheese that melts in your mouth. The staff are super lovely and sweet. Typically there's usually a line to enter so I'd recommend to book reserve a table online and arrive early. read more

Came here for a birthday party, and they were amazing with a group. But also the atmosphere is dimly lit and intimate so I think it would be perfect for a date night as well. The service was great. Our waitress was very open and knowledgeable about the menu/making changes and extra charges (informally a group still only gets one bread bowl for free so we had to order extra so we could all have some). The food was incredible! I got the ravioli and I love that the pasta is made in house. Great portions too- not a lot to be wasteful but just enough to leave room for dessert. Definitely recommend for a special night! read more

Very sincerely, I have hesitated to write a review for years only because I fear that everyone will find out about this place. La Pergoletta in Los Feliz is without question one of my all time favorite restaurants anywhere. My wife and I call it our Lady and the Tramp place because it always feels like falling in love when we eat here. Very relaxed in feel and temperament with a dash of old world kitsch, a can't miss menu and a truly wonderful staff that treats everyone like family, Sweet Lorraine and I have been eating here for years and hope to continue for many years to come. Affordable, casual and comfortable with outstanding food that you'd pay a premium price for anywhere else. Some of my favorite items are the incredibly delicious and tender Polpette Filanti appetizer (their meatballs, small or large are the greatest anywhere!), Chicken Parmesan, Eggplant Parmesan (when they have it... bellissimo!!), Tagliata alla Crema di Funghi (I like it with Fettuccine, they make all their delicious pasta in house), a great Caesar salad with Anchovies (if you so desire), Carbonara that really is to die for... and if you're really, really lucky, the moon's in the sky like a big pizza pie and the stars are aligned, their Osso Bucco is the best I've ever had!! Great for family, friends, dates, and every occasion. A real neighborhood gem of the highest order, a diamond 10 out of 5 star rating!!! But please don't tell anyone, okay, or I might hafta kill ya. Just between me, you and these four virtual walls. Cibo squisito!! Mangia!!! read more

Handmade pasta! The table enjoyed arrabbiata rigatoni, ragú bolognese fettuccine , carbonara spaghetti, and two orders of the pumpkin ravioli special. Good portion sizes (not huge). I enjoyed the cook and sauce on each dish. We also shared a cesare salad, A+, a satisfying dressing and it included a few anchovies. The mista salad has a delicious vinaigrette (some used it to dip the bread basket bread into). Ryan C was a lovely server. The woman who greeted us and set the table wasn't on her A game. Saturday Dinner 11/2/25 (yes, Dodger baseball game 7 World Series winning night- the laundromat next to our table had the game on and we had fun popping in and out for game highlights and win) Which means we enjoyed our outdoor table next to the laundromat read more

There is indoor and outdoor seating and is perfect for casual date night or a family dinner. There is a small parking lot if not it will be street parking. Complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Additional bread baskets will be charged. I had norma sauce with brasato filled pasta. I wanted to try the norma sauce because it had tomato and eggplant which was a nice addition to the pasta. The pasta itself was delicious. I love that it had meat in it. They have lunch specials which I have to try one day. I'm so curious to try their fettuccine Alfredo. The staff was helpful and I'd definitely come back again. read more

The best carbonara in LA. Homemade pastas, one of my fav spots in the neighborhood, service is always warm and friendly.

I can't believe we hadn't had this yet after all these years! We made reservations through Yelp and we ended up being earlier than planned and the hostess went out of her way to seat us, although they were super busy. From the first interaction, every single staff member was super kind and helpful. Our server, Oscar, helped us choose some gluten free appetizers and main courses and we loved everything! We started off with the creamy mushroom topped polenta, which was phenomenal! I had the lemon risotto with salmon, cooked to perfection and my husband had the seafood risotto which was also delicious. For dessert, we enjoyed the tiramisu Panna cotta which was delicious and not too sweet. We loved the romantic ambiance indoors with candlelit table and warm atmosphere. We will definitely be back again very soon! read more

Quaint little hole in the wall that serves up fantastic authentic Italian food. I've been here for their dinner service, but recently came for their lunch special and was very pleased with my experience. I came right around 2pm on a weekday and it was such a peaceful time to dine. Their lunch menu is perfect and it comes with your pasta of choice, a soup or salad, and a soda for $21. I opted for the rigatoni etrusca which is basically like a creamy bolognese (yes it's as good as it sounds). If you like to chat, this is the perfect spot to go because you don't feel rushed lol, but if you're in a time crunch the servers can be a bit hard to track down. Aside from that, the servers are all so friendly and I give this place 5 stars all around. I look forward to trying their other pasta dishes! read more

Came in based on the reviews. We've been passing by this place for a long time and thought it looked cute. It is. The place was busy, but we had a reservation and they seated us promptly. Both rooms were pretty charming. We sat in the back area. My wife is a vegetarian and had plenty of options to choose from. I had my usual go-to, a pasta with seafood, I forget which one. We shared a salad. Everything was delicious and fresh, the bread was good, and the server suggested a glass of red wine that went perfectly with my food. An overall very pleasant dining experience. We shall be back. read more

my most recent visit was genuinely disappointing, and that's hard to say because i've always loved this place. i made a friday night reservation for three at 8:15 pm, excited to finally bring friends here. from the moment we sat down though, we were essentially invisible. a table that arrived 15 minutes after us was greeted, given water, was served and offered bread before we'd even been assigned a waiter. we had to ask for one twice. when i politely asked if we could at least get some bread while we waited, the response was a rude "there's a line." after sitting there hungry with almost no acknowledgment, that really was RUDE and uncalled for. we ended up waiting over an hour for three pasta dishes with barely any communication from the staff throughout. the service that night completely altered the experience. i'm hoping it was just an off night, because i used to love coming here and would hate for this to be the new norm. read more

I came here for an work dinner in the evening - this is definitely a really great place for a team work dinner! We split the garlic bread and the bruschetta bread and they evenly served all 5-6 members of the table. They even gave us extra complimentary, and that was so kind of them! I originally ordered some kind of pasta with steak, but I ended up changing it to the salad version of the pasta - I DEVOURED IT! The steak was cooked beautifully medium rare (just how I like it) and the vegetables in the salad tasted very very fresh. Each bite had a perfect crunch. I really want to come here and try every dish! There was street parking in the neighborhood for free in case you can't find any in the parking lot. Easy to get to, excellent service, reasonable prices for a group dinner, not too loud - it was delightfully lively to share a meal in this space! read more

La Pergoletta is the cutest coziest Italian restaurant tucked away in LA in Los Feliz. Perfect for a date night or a celebration. I went with my dad and it was the sweetest experience. The food was really tasty. All of the pastas are HOMEMADE-- Love! I got the regular gnocchi with butter & sage. My dad got the stuffed gnocchi and loved it. The complimentary bread wasn't the best in my opinion, but free none the less. The meatballs were juicy and delicious. I want to come back to try more of this place. Service was great too. read more

My young daughter and I decided to come in about 8:30pm on Saturday night and we're from San Diego so we were excited to try something new. Place was full and cheery, we only waited 10 mins for a good table. We ordered lasagna with mushroom cream which was delicious but pasta crust at bottom was overcooked and dry, even then we thought it was great tasting and were hungry and so I ate the top. She ordered another pasta with grilled chicken. That was good as well. Outstanding? No! I was a little disappointed with service but noticed other people enjoying their food so we continued on. The service was not bad - the waiter was cordial but blah - we even tried to joke a bit but he wasn't in the mood to smile. Dinner for us both with one glass of wine and two pastas was $128 dls. No dessert - we decided to find somewhere else more welcoming for dessert. For that price I think we could have done better. Maybe just a bad night?? read more

Came here for Valentine's Day with an 8:30 reservation only to see a giant line of people with reservations and the hostess nowhere to be seen. Eventually she came back and said the kitchen was backed up so she was seating 8 and 8:15 reservations first to space them out. We ended up being seated 15 minutes after our initial reservation (so at 8:45 instead of 8:30). The service was kind of slow and it took awhile to get bread. The vibe of the place was very cozy and romantic and I loved the spaghetti strainer light fixtures Once we got the food though it tasted absolutely amazing. I could tell the pasta was freshly made because everything tasted perfect. I ordered the tagliata di crema fungi and my fiance ordered the ravioli with crema fungi sauce. Let's just say he asked for a spoon to scoop up all the leftover sauce, that's how delicious it was. Would definitely come back here again despite the late seating and slow service. I understand it was Valentine's Day so they were probably understaffed so I would like to come back on a night where it isn't a holiday. read more
