    Fresh Calamari!!
    Dan D.

    Fresh made pasta!!! This restaurant is a hidden gem! You wouldn't realize how great this place is from observing as you driving by. Inside is a nostalgic take on Italy, deli counters with fresh desserts and chalk menus on the wall. The food assortment leaves you asking for a recommendation as there's so much to choose from. I chose the seafood dish with fresh calamari, clams, shrimp and a simple broth with squid ink noodles that was the best i've ever had. My wife had the lasagna, made with bolognogese and she prefers a different style but she enjoyed the freshly made pasta with her lasagna. We started with a salad, and we asked for the evening candle lights to be brought out early to light up our ambiance as we were in the neighborhood before a concert at the greek. Highly recommend and we can't wait to go back and the service was awesome!

    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.

    Mare chiaro with seafood
    Valerie H.

    Very good food and we did not wait too long with a reservation. Not a big space so reservations recommended to not wait too long. Ordered the mare chiaro with seafood and it was very good and had a little spice. Will be back to try another dish.

    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!!

    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!

    If you are looking for an amazing Italian fare, you need to try La Pergoletta. The ambiance and service are impeccable. We appreciate Everyone in the restaurant, as they were very attentive and helpful. Kudos to Ryan as well for offering and bringing in dessert choices. We had a wonderful time!

    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.

    Get the mushroom cream sauce!! That's a must. The steak is delicious. Our server was great. The place is very romantic. Had three dishes for two people. Love this neighborhood spot.

    TORTELLINI DI CARNE
    Yvonne B.

    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.

    Fettuccine Arrabbiata
    Jolie J.

    Pros: The food was simple, but delicious Intimate, casual restaurant Cons: Service was a little slow, but friendly Very small parking lot After dinner, we had cocktails and listened to the juke box at the Drawing Room which was next door. Then headed to our concert at The Greek. Perfect evening.

    Tiramisu
    Riley C.

    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!

    Carbonara
    Mika R.

    Lovely small spot. I got the carbonara. Nice staff, down to earth. Would definitely go back. Perfect date spot

    Ravioli Di Funghi Porcini
    Three G.

    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!

Back in Italy, pasta with clams is my favorite dish, so I was super excited to order it since it's not easy to find in the US. It was done just right -- really great! The seafood was fresh and high quality. The only minor detail is that the clams were fresh and local, likely Pacific clams, which have a less intense, briny flavor compared to the Mediterranean vongole veraci that give off that rich sea aroma.

No detail is overlooked. Beautiful design -- reminds me of what your Italian grandma's dining room would look like if she had great taste. We took a Lyft since the parking situation is tough (but there is a paid lot down the street) and we were running late.I called and left message that we were running 15 minutes late and they got my voicemail and they were great about. Table was available right away. Cocktails were impressive - and we started with a dirty martini and a Negroni blanco. The garlic bread made with Bub & Grandma's bread is a clear winner. Our server Emerson was top notch and steered us through the menu and drinks and was informative and friendly as very professional. When he'd walk through dining room, he was scanning to see if anyone was trying to catch his eye. And when I did he came right over. None of this look straight ahead stuff I sometimes see when it's a busy night. You can get out of Donna's for a reasonable price if you stick to garlic bread, salad and one of their excellent pasta dishes (5 of the dishes are in the $25-$28 range). We splurged and got the scampi (from France) what a sauce, truffle gnocchi, amazing chicken Marsala with amazing mushroom sauce $32) and the Cesar salad was delicious and not mailed in. We ordered 1 dessert (panna cotta with pistachio brittle and fresh figs) and they brought a tiramisu and tiny glasses of their own limoncello out on the house. We also tried 1 glass of their special vermouth since we are vermouth lovers. A++++ experience all round and it was a high level of ingredients and food -- chef and his team are top notch. I now need to find out who's the chef in that kitchen because they've built an excellent team. Donna's slyly calls itself just a "red sauce Italian restaurant" but I'd say that's a real understatement...and I think it's a great date night or small group place because it's intimate and you can hear your table partners talk. I don't recall any music playing - just the warm brown background noise of fun conversation. We ate early (my preference these days) and if you don't see any openings for reservations, ask Resy to give you an alert -- you'll get notified when reservations open up. Emerson said they always hold some tables for walk ins. PS -- I normally don't leave such long reviews, but I have some friends who are chefs and who own restaurants - and when I see other Yelp reviews where someone leaves a one star because the hostess was allegedly rude when everything else is great -- I just hate to see how it can affect a restaurant. I have no relationship with this restaurant at all. I don't know any anyone who works in it or owns any part of it, but I just don't like to see people abuse the reviews -- the restaurant business is tough as it is. And as someone who has worked downtown and driven through Echo Park for 30 years - I think Donna's is a great addition to Echo Park.

    Honestly I had high hopes give the hype for this restaurant. The best part is the vibe inside it's…read moresuper cute and a fun spot. The food is average Italian for LA - aka the photos look better than it tastes. Still good food but I wouldn't necessarily come back. Very in line with Jon & vinneys. No valet parking + street parking is hard to find. We walked in at 5:30pm on a Saturday night, put our names down and were seated 45 minutes later.

    Phenomenal service and every dish is a creation in of its own!!…read more The octopus salad was positively delectable! I didn't dare ask for bread, but it would've been sumptuous to drink the last of the dressing with a baguette!! The oxtail ragu was phenomenal! Thanks to my server James, we were all warned that they serve each dish as it is freshly prepared, family style! So, dine with friends who enjoy the process!! The atmosphere reminds me of London, but the food is truly a culinary masterpiece!!

    I finally made it to Mother Wolf after all the hype went down, and it was a pretty good experience:…read more What I ordered: - margherita d'angeleno cocktail ($17) this had tequila, fresno chili, agave and lime so essentially an Italian spicy margarita, which was good - sfincione ($13) this focaccia bread was almost more like a dinner roll than a typical focaccia, but was still very light and pillowy - ruchetta salad ($18) aka arugula salad, with the appropriate amount of cheese (a cheese mountain on top) - fiori di zucca ($28) the infamous squash blossoms!! they came out piping HOT and were full of the ricotta filling. they were fried perfectly and were super crispy, but I kind of wanted a sauce to dip it in or have it drizzed over. for as much as everyone raves about them, they're good and I'd order again if I went back, but I wouldn't go back just for them - fusilli al cinghiale pasta ($39) wild boar ragu fusilli pasta: this was good but I couldn't tell it was boar. our server really recommended this but quite honestly I had forgotten we even ordered this.. - tonnarelli cacio e pepe ($26) I'd say this is one of the best cacio e pepe's I've had in LA, the pasta itself was perfectly al dente and the perfect size for this dish. very black pepper forward and a bit on the saucier side (vs more dry iterations), but I personally loved that - dessert: tiramisu, passionfruit gelato, and cookies & cream gelato the tiramisu was very solid, the passionfruit gelato had fresh passionfruit seeds and was well balanced in its tartness + sweetness, and you can't go wrong with cookies & cream We did have a nightcap + dessert at the hidden speakeasy, Bar Avoja - which was BEAUTIFUL. The decor, ambiance, vibes, all 10/10. The cocktails were pricier there but more elevated than the ones at the restaurant. Overall, while everything was pretty solid, I wouldn't say anything was exceptional or really stood out, especially given the $$$$ price. It's worth a visit once (for like a nice dinner/date night spot), and if I were to go back I'd try the pizza or larger entrees, but I'd more likely go back to the bar itself for just a drink (with apps/dessert).
