    Decent food that's a bit pricey. I enjoyed this better than Malibu farms easily. Fresh ingredients, reminds me of First Watch or another place with similar vibes. The food was good, nothing special, but it was satisfying. My favorite thing were the breakfast potatoes. They were seasoned and crisped to perfection, best breakfast potatoes I've ever had to be honest. If I was in the area with family again I'd go back but I'd prefer other options.

    My plate at home.

    I've lived just down the street from Little Dom's for years and have never eaten there. Why? I have no idea. My wife suggested we order take out and try their chicken parm entree. So we did and chose sautéed spinach for the side. We pulled up and I ran into get our order. I was not very happy that an AUTOMATIC gratuity of %15 was added to our bill. Tipping, in my mind, is usually for "service" and putting food in a bag simply isn't it. Strike one. The chicken parm ($30)was just ok. Good but not truly great. I think Donna's and Jon & Vinny's chicken parm are both superior in overall taste, size and value. Strike two. The spinach was nicely garlicky and a big portion. Staff was also nice and the order was ready promptly. 6.5/10 Just ok.

    It's a vibe in here. Must try ricotta cheese pancakes! So yummy! Potatoes w/ the mayo/aioli sauce is also something you should def as well. Service was quick.

    The dimly lit, intimate ambiance, reminiscent of cozy pubs back home, created the perfect setting for my gathering of five. The food was decent, nothing extraordinary, but it was satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food. The pizza was thin and crispy and the chicken parmesan comforting and well seasoned. Despite not leaving a lasting impression, Little Dom's is a great casual recommendation for anyone exploring the charming neighborhood. The $25 Monday supper is an incredible deal and a great option for treating yourself or a date on a budget.

    To the wonderful team at Little Dom's, I am sending a note following our team dinner. My boss recommended your restaurant, and we had a truly excellent experience. We particularly enjoyed the variety of dishes we ordered. The espresso martinis were fantastic, I ended up having two to start! For appetizers, we shared two salads (the green salad and the gem lettuce salad) and the Beef Carpaccio. The famous pizza margherita was a huge hit; it disappeared so quickly that we had to order a second one. I ordered the chicken parmesan based on a strong recommendation, and it was outstanding. The desserts were definitely the highlight! We ordered three different types, including the tiramisu, a chocolate mousse, and a lemon pistachio cheesecake. We also couldn't get enough of the rice balls and ordered three portions so everyone could try them. Thank you so much for hosting us. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, and we look forward to coming back soon!

    My favorite breakfast spot in LA! The perfect order? Get the blueberry ricotta pancakes, potatoes, sausage, and the eggs fungi to share with a friend. They also give you these individual pots of coffee which I think are so darling. Also, if you're coming for breakfast you can just walk in and order at the counter and sit down anywhere you like!

    I've eaten at Little Dom's for dinner several times and have always enjoyed it. Love the dinner options. The vibe is good. More NY than L.A. which I like. The service has always been good and breakfast today was no different. The breakfast menu options are nice. Something for everyone. The cruller donut was a standout for me. It was fresh and delicious and not too greasy. The polenta dish was fair. I added salt and ordered a side a toast to go with it. A regular order only comes with one egg but I ordered an extra egg on top. The vibe is casual but fun and cozy for dinner or breakfast. It was a rainy morning so it was an especially comforting experience to be in the warm, woody decor that is Little Dom's. Street parking can be challenging in this area but persevere and hopefully you'll find a parking spot.

    This place was great, I will be back. Food was great. Ate all of it. Service was good too, you sit, look at menu, when ready, you goto cashier and order it. It was good for us because as a group we got to pay for our own meals. Ambiance was great. Loved the old school theme. I will be back for sure.

    The best breakfast I've had in my entire life. For the best experience I recommend ordering the ricotta cheese & fresh blueberry pancakes, eggs fungi, house-made grilled Italian sausage, and the fried potatoes. You won't regret it.

    Spent a rainy lunch here with a friend who insists on visiting every time they're in town and now I see why! The interior is adorable, with leather booths and a bar at the front where we sat. The windows are nice and large: the best place to people watch on the street with a latte. Since they close after lunch, our server let us hang out at our table for over 2 hours to chat over tea and coffee. He was very accommodating and our food came out quickly and pipping hot! To start, we split the rice balls appetizer, which were perfectly fried on the outside, yet warm and sticky on the inside with cheese and plump rice. It paired really well with the marinara sauce on the side and I appreciated the extra bit of Parmesan and fresh herbs on top to make the dish more visually appealing. For my main course, I ordered the calabrese fried chicken sandwich and absolutely loved it! The toasted brioche bun was buttery, soft and slightly sweet. The chicken was very well seasoned, battered and fried, and well complimented by the acidity from the pickles tomatoes and heat from the aioli. The side salad was a great palate cleanser between bites too. I ate a bite of the ricotta blueberry pancakes and can attest that they are very rich and heavy, so consider splitting it with someone if you aren't ravaging. Totally worth the order though because it is incredibly delicious!

    Uncertain why they have so many low star ratings because if you're craving classic Italian in a spot that feels warm and homey, Little Dom's hits the mark. It has that "nonna's kitchen but make it restaurant" energy that just works. The only catch is the wait, which can be brutal, so reservations are definitely the way to go. Everything we ordered tasted exactly how you want classic Italian to taste: no twists, no surprises, just solid, comforting dishes done right. The wine selection is okay, mostly the usual dry Italian options, but nothing that made us want to linger over the glass. If you're particular about your pairing, bring a bottle you actually love and just pay the corkage. Overall, it's a great spot when you want straightforward, cozy Italian food without the fuss.

    Fried Calamari  Green Salad
    Georgia S.

    Such a cute, cozy neighborhood feeling with really fresh, flavorful food. The service was amazing -- I believe it was Monica, who was so sweet and took great care of us. My favorites were the calamari and the vodka Cavatelli was my show stopper of the meal, loved the chewy texture and the sauce was creamy and decadent. Overall, the meal felt indulgent but didn't have me feeling heavy. I could tell they use fresh ingredients! Love this adorable Italian joint. I want to come back to try their thin crust pizza I was eye balling at another table.

    I came here with my boyfriend for a little dinner date before a show at the Greek theater. I made a reservation for 5:45 but we ended up arriving early at 5:15 and thankfully they were able to accommodate us. They had just opened so there were both inside and outside options available! Here's what we ordered: Rice balls: So yummy dipped in the marinara sauce! Pretty big in size. Ricotta Cavatelli: Vodka pasta is my favorite and I had never tried it in this shape before. 10/10! Sea Urchin pasta: This was a special that was offered, my boyfriend ordered it and wasn't a fan. I also tried it and thought it was way too fishy and it overwhelmed the sauce it was mixed in. He sent it back after hesitation but the staff was very sweet and accommodating. The manager even came up to us and said not to worry it would be taken off of our bill. Chicken Parmesan: Loved the crispness and they served us such a big size! Lemon IceBox pie: This was so refreshing and not too heavy after our meal. The honey complimented it so well. Overall, I would definitely come back here! The only thing is I wish they'd offer garlic bread and Caesar salad.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    Food, incredible. Drinks, amazing. Service, always on point!…read more Always worth the hype when we come to Donna's. Had a booth this time and were one of the first people into the restaurant. Pro tip: the 5pm reservation never disappoints. Street parking was not bad either. Definitely a good date night spot!

    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).

    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!
