    Romano bread puffs
    Brian L.

    Daughter bought her BMW next door and we saw this place of nostalgia!! Wife and I used to eat Numero Uno pizza all the time when they had lots of locations. We were so hopeful to get a ride back in time but honestly it fell short and I really don't like saying that... I should have gotten the hint when we saw that they also sell tacos, quesadillas and Mexican food. .. we ordered what we used to back in the day which was the Romano bread puffs and a deep dish pepperoni pizza. Bread puffs were ok, just a bit smaller and very hard they used to be larger and fluffy. The pizza looked about the same but beneath it was very odd the pizza was not cooked properly and underneath the layer of cheese was raw dough which was really disgusting. We really wanted to have a pleasant dining experience and reminisce on the past but unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way, I'm not sure what has changed with this pizza chain but it's certainly did not meet our expectations. Our waitress and the staff were very nice and pleasant so that was the bright spot but the food made me sick and I really hope that they take this review seriously and look into their cooking methods and restore them to their former glory. Food especially at a restaurant needs to be carefully carefully cooked so that way their customers don't get sick or have an unpleasant experience and don't come back.

    Vegetarian Pizza

    I ended up having to order here instead of the normal owners that I would go to because it was closed on the holiday. I got their vegetarian pizza, thin crust, 14 inches and wings Parmesan wings. Delivery took a while which was expected. When pizza arrived it didn't look tasty. I'm not used to huge pieces of onions on my pizza. The pizza with overcrowded, which is huge chunks of onion, a whole bunch of cheese, pretty soggy on bottom. That's why I ask well done. 1.18 I never posted these reviews because I really was hoping for better. But today I ordered a pizza and some spaghetti and it's the worst spaghetti because one it's watery. 2. No seasoning. 3. Not even enough sauce. Very watery

    Hawaiian pizza w/freezer burned texture crust edges

    I grew up loving Numero Uno pizza. I went to the one in Westwood Village all the time with my friends, before we understood the evils of carbs or gluten. Their pizza's sweet dough & crispy crust, and the crispy-chewy deep fried Romano puff balls were the best. Tonight I was reminiscing about it to a friend & we decided to order my teenage faves. Sadly, after tonight I have to admit to myself that the pizza I remember only lives in my teenage memories, because it does not exist anymore. The thick crust Hawaiian pizza I got today was a thinner version of the fluffy crust I had in the 80s. There was no detectable sweetness to the dough, the crispiness of the bottom was negligible, & the edges felt like it was a slightly freezer burned, reheated, pre-frozen dough round. The Romano Puffs used to be these beautifully golden, perfectly round fried dough balls. The ones I got today were lazy flat blobs, so over fermented that the dough tasted like alcohol. And again, there was none of the sweetness to the dough that used to be iconic of Numero Uno. Admittedly I have not had Numero Uno in a couple decades. But since they still describe their pizza as having a sweet dough, I would expect the recipe to be the same. Note to restaurant: you can Google & find copycat Numero Uno dough recipes that were created by others with similar childhood/teenage memories as mine. Maybe you should check them out. They include brown sugar. I am officially adding this location to my Dead To Me Yelp list because this is where we got the terrible food from. Ptsd won't let me try it again from another location, but good luck to anyone else who does.

    I haven't had Numero Uno Pizza in quite some time. And I've never been to this location. This is nice! Beautiful bar and atmosphere. The staff was friendly. I waited inside for my pick up order and was very impressed at how the service was for those that were eating in. Pizza came out and it was piping hot and delicious! There's just something about the crust here that brings back so many great memories as a child. Will definitely be back!

    The Works Pizza. Decent .
    Daniel B.

    I don't know the last time i had Numero Uno Pizza. I think I ordered their personal thick-crust pizza when I was at University , but I could be wrong. I ordered for take-out. Nearby, a few minutes lapsed from ready to pickup to fully executing the transaction and leaving, the pizza was only lukewarm. Like it was just sitting out for a couple minutes -- and without a heating lamp. I ordered "The Works" . The Works is: Pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, black olives, mushrooms, onions & green peppers. large and thick-crust style. Numero Uno is known for its over the topping snow mozzarella covering. Its texture is definitely unique. The cheese kinda coagulates and clumps together. It's a certain style that many like. And many hate. I'm somewhere in between though. Definitely treading upwards from your average pizza franchise, but not enough for me to swoon over. Snow-covered topping crunch with all the meats below the permafrost is a very interesting texture. But I like the proportion of toppings/cheese to be on an equal plane (or near equal). $30 is about average price for pizza market value.

    Half order of custom slice pizza, think crust. Pep and sausage
    Mark S.

    I called ahead and asked about the difference between the thick and thin, aside from the obvious. The person who answered the call was Manny. I was unhappy because I did want to try both but I didn't need a medium thin crust. He was very insightful and told me I could get slices of thin crust. So I was there very quickly and he was very attentive and the pizza was great. Made to order. The pic I provided was only half. I think it's a great place. If you go, look for Manny, you'll be treated right.

    Hawaiian pizza
    M G.

    Sat evening walked in and placed order for two pizzas: thick crust Hawaiian pizza and a BBQ chicken. Both were excellent and prepared to my satisfaction. I love the pineapple on my pizzas. Front counter clerk was helpful and cordial. Chef in back did an excellent job preparing my crust so it was crisp, but not burnt. Tasty and will be back to order again. Establishment is clean, organized and staff is attentive, thank you.

    I've seen this place for the last year since I always go to the Starbucks in the same small parking lot, and finally decided to give it a try. Had a craving for pizza as my meal before going out and drinking. You HAVE to fill your stomach or else you'll get a hangover. So this place actually doubles up as a Mexican restaurant as well. Got a large for myself which lasted 3-4 meals/snacks and can feed a small family which costs about $20. It came out in about 20-30 mins. The pics you see in the photos are pretty accurate. I ordered combo with basically everything on it. It came out REALLY thick with a lot of white cheese on top. TBH it's a bit thicker than I like but I can see some people really enjoying it. The crust (and dough in general) had a bit of a cornbread-like texture/taste to it. Not bad overall, but not your standard pizza when you think of one. I might or might not come again.

    I have been eating at this place for many years. I order the same exact thing each time Romano puffs and a medium pepperoni sausage pizza. this pizza that I received today taste like it has some kind of chemicals in it. It does not taste like numero Uno. I called and spoke to a young lady and she act like she didn't care and of course, there was no manager there to be spoken with I'm so disappointed over 40 years of me coming to this location and I will not be back..

    Medium Double Pepperoni, Thick Crust - DELICIOUS!!
    Scott J.

    I grew up in the 80's and 90's eating Numero Uno Pizza, was always an absolute favorite for me and my family. You wonder how these things taste 15 - 20 years later... Did the quality remain the same? Was it just good because of childhood nostalgia? I ordered what I had always ordered, thick crust double pepperoni. This was just a fabulous and incredible as I remember. Fluffy and light dough, chunky tomatoes, tasty pepp and cheese, with the best crust in the world that tastes like they add sugar to it cause of the mild sweetness, which totally works and so delicious. Thank you for exceeding expectations and for giving me a taste of my childhood back.

    They got dine in & a bar - nice
    Cat C.

    you know that inherent tough dilemma you fall into when craving pizza. You always feel bad to order it because it's just so much. Well what I like about this place is that they have an individual sized pizza. Bam portion controlled for $17.50 so you can get your fixed without really messing up your diet. I got the works which is basically their version of supreme with extra cheese on a thick crust & let me tell you: they nailed it. Their motto is "one bite & we got you" well they delivered on that & liked it. The dough is perfectly chewy & adequately thick. All the flavors come through nicely for a whopping 1278 calories. Pleasant interior too. Definite repeat.

    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 shrimp tasted very fresh and was perfectly plump and not overcooked. The Ragu with wild board was excellent and ragu was rich and hearty. Lasagna was very rich and decadent and we enjoyed every bite. Gnocchi con carne was delicious as well For dessert we had affogato , espresso was very rich and velvety , with the perfect sweetness. Flourless chocolate cake was amazing . We look forward coming back, the patio was really cute and offered shade and made us feel like we were transported to much calmer atmosphere (love downtown la though ) Above all else , every single staff member we encountered made the experience amazing , we will definitely be back.

The menu is inviting with plenty of great options without being overwhelming. Less is more. But let's talk art (culinary, that is). The dishes certainly deserve main features.

Spicy pomodoro is perfectly al dente and a well-balanced sauce. But, my favorite-- the agnolotti! Wow, melt in your mouth! The flavor profiles of corn, crème fraiche, and old bay were delicious. My only wish -- larger serving of this (smallest pasta serving on the menu). To complete it, banana pudding tiramisu -- delicious too with a firm center and oozy outside. Atala was wonderful and very sweet. Recommendation: come with a group of at least 4 to try more on the menu -- the large plates (branzino and ribeye) looked excellent! Definitely a worthwhile visit.

We came on a Thursday night as a group of four and the place was pretty busy. From everything I've heard, Cento is one of the more popular pasta spots in LA right now, so I was excited to finally try it. We started with the radicchio salad which was delicious. Light, refreshing, and tangy, a great way to start the meal. For pasta, we ordered the Spicy Pomodoro, Sweet Corn Agnolotti, Broccoli Bucatini, and the Cavatelli Finocchio. Honestly, it was hard to pick a favorite because every single one was excellent. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, the sauces were flavorful, and each dish felt unique. My only complaint is that the portions are a little small. I understand they're meant for sharing, but to be honest I probably could have eaten all four by myself. At around $30 per plate, this definitely isn't a cheap meal. One thing that was a little disappointing was that it was my fiancée's birthday and I had noted it on the reservation. We noticed another table receiving what looked like a special birthday dessert, but nothing was mentioned for us. My fiancée didn't want me to ask about it, so we just let it go and ended up getting dessert elsewhere. Not a huge deal, but it was a bit of a letdown. That said, the food itself was absolutely outstanding. If you're a pasta lover, this place is definitely worth checking out.

The Settecento pizza was my favorite and their pizzas are delicious, light, airy, full of flavor. My sister said her filet was ok but the mushroom sauce was delicious. For dessert, I believe we ordered the Tortino and the Tiramisu and both were great but the Tortino was a little better. I ordered the Toki Pona to drink and couldn't finish it but it was very good. Definitely recommend eating here to everyone. It's great food, ambiance and our server Angel took great care of us.

There are small garlic pieces inside, but that's what explodes the bread with amazing flavor. If there's anything you need to get, it's the garlic bread for sure.   Caesar Salad (5/5) Also an amazing starter! I love how each bit of lettuce was coated with cheese, so every single bite had some love in it. Croutons added a nice crunch for texture. Solid to begin your meals with.    Chicken Parmesan (5/5) Size was large, so please come hungry! The chicken was breaded perfectly and the sauce wasn't too heavy at all. Everything paired so nicely with each other. Basil added a nice aromatic touch to the dish without overpowering it. Amazing meal.

When it finally came out, it wasn't the bottle I ordered, and our waitress Lauren insisted it was the same thing, which felt insulting because it was obviously not the same vintage - it was off by two years. At that point, I just wanted some wine already, so l let it go. That said, the ambiance was great, and the food alone makes this place worth visiting.

    Would I recommend this restaurant? Not really…read more From the outside, the restaurant looks okay and doesn't particularly stand out, but once you walk inside, it's very cute and nicely decorated. The atmosphere is pleasant. Sitting outside in their back patio was enjoyable, while the indoor dining area is cozy and aesthetically pleasing. Everything looks appealing and well-presented, but unfortunately, much of the food lacked flavor. I ordered the Pappardelle Genovese pasta, and although it looked delicious and had plenty of meat, it was surprisingly bland. I even added sea salt to try to enhance the flavor, but it was still only average. The pizza wasn't bad, but it's not something I would order again. The drinks were fine and looked cute, but nothing particularly memorable. My favorite item was the beet salad. It was delicious and well balanced, with mixed greens, goat cheese, hazelnuts, and a balsamic vinaigrette. That was definitely the standout dish of the meal. Overall, the ambiance, decor, and presentation were better than the food itself. While it's a nice place to visit and enjoy the atmosphere, I probably wouldn't return for the food.

    Mother Wolf continues to set the standard for Italian dining in Los Angeles…read more The service was nothing short of phenomenal. Andrés was an absolute professional--his knowledge of the menu was outstanding, and his recommendations made the entire experience even better. He was attentive, personable, and clearly passionate about ensuring every guest had an exceptional meal. The food was spectacular. Every dish was cooked to perfection, and every bite transports you straight to Rome--except with much more comfortable seating (IYKYK). The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are evident in every course. And don't skip dessert--the dessert menu is absolutely top-tier and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The ambiance ties everything together perfectly. The music creates an energetic, upbeat atmosphere that's ideal whether you're kicking off a night out or winding down after a fun-filled day. It strikes the perfect balance between elegant and lively. Mother Wolf isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. Between the incredible food, impeccable service from Andrés, and vibrant atmosphere, it's easy to see why it's one of the best dining destinations in Los Angeles.

    A nice dinner spot to give a try if you are craving some good Italian food. I had a reservation but…read moreit didn't get very busy when I was there on a Saturday night. I know this place used to be pretty busy and booked but think the hype might've died down? But I love it cause I was able to enjoy dinner with my friends comfortably. We ordered the arugula salad, squash blossoms, bread, prawns in the salsa verde sauce, oxtail meatballs, the oxtail ragu pasta and carbonara pasta. The salad was delicious and the perfect start to the carb overload coming. It was the perfect amount of lemon that it wasn't overpowering. The squash blossoms were delicious! Definitely one of our top three dishes. The bread was airy and simple, but it was delicious. The prawns and the sauce. *Chef's kiss* The meatballs were delicious and definitely something unique and different. Definitely enjoyed that. The oxtail ragu pasta was delicious. The carbonara pasta was a little undercooked and the flavor wasn't there. It just tasted like butter and pasta.. that was probably our least favorite dish. Everything was good and would be back again to try maybe some other pastas or even the pizzas.
