    Wow! We were location scouting down the road and walked by this place. Intrigued, we opened the door a crack and peered in. Walking through the door is like going through a magical portal. The interior is imbued with a mix of warm toned woods, red Naugahyde leather, and stained glass pendant lights. The booths are spacious and comfortable. The service was impeccable: warm, courteous, friendly, and professional. The food, though we weren't able to try as many items as we wanted (we were actually not hungry when we peeked in the door) bur EVERYTHING we tasted was so delicious. The entire experience felt like coming home. It felt like slipping into your favorite slippers at the end of the day. It felt like all of the good things in life rolled into one. Will absolutely return - with an appetite! Honestly, every

    An iconic institution with incredible authentic Italian food and an old school feel. Rich family history and even RICHER bolognese... my favorite neighborhood spot by far.

    Best pasta e fagioli ever!
    Michael R.

    After a beautiful day at The Getty I wanted to spoil my GF to an OG Italian meal. Peptone is not on OpenTable, nor when you call do they require your phone number or a credit card reservation. They just said thanks we'll see you then... call if your plans change. When we arrived I could see why no fuss. It was lovely and filled with loyal longterm patrons. It seems like everyone knew each other. Despite being newbies the entire staff treated us fabulously. It is expensive on first glance but for the impeccable food, wine & service it was on point! Everything we tried was well prepared and delicious. My pasta e fagioli was hearty, sweet and tangy and the crispy prosciutto added a special touch of excellence. My Veal Ossobuco was as it should be... super tender, flavorful and their marinara was sweet & tangy. My GF had a signature dish called Steak Sinatra. Filet Mignon cooked to order then was sliced and sautéed with peppers, onions and mushrooms in a light marinara sauce. She absolutely loved it! As a special treat, mine came with freshly made gnocchi, heavenly delightful. She has 2 glasses of exceptional wine that added to her wonderful experience. At the end it would be a waste not to go all in! Their Tiramisu was super creamy and was "perfect!" It's a wonderful piece of yesteryear, 50 years old! I'm so pleased we were able to experience the BEST of old school Italian close to home!

    Cannelloni, fusilli with vodka sauce and sausage

    We absolutely love this local neighborhood gem. It is a classic Italian, extremely high quality delicious and wonderful spot. Whether it's for a date night, friend's outing, or any other occasion, Peppone makes you feel valued and at home. The interior is amazing - the stain glassed chandeliers above every table, along with flowers, makes you feel like you're at home in Italy. I recently went for an anniversary dinner - they treated us with tiramisu, sung to us, and gave us little champagne flutes of port wine. The food is absolutely tremendous. You're served complimentary garlic bread with marinara dipping sauce to start. We started with a fantastic Caesar salad. For our mains, we shared the cannelloni which is a must-get. The flavors are so rich, and the fresh pasta melts in your mouth. The vodka sauce with fusilli and sausage is delicious as well. There is ample parking in a little parking lot right in front, which you pay for during the day. Might be free at night, I'm not positive because we Ubered. The ONLY reason I'm knocking down a star is because of the pricing. I don't want to say that delicious, fresh, homemade pasta is overpriced because I do value the time and effort they put into the dish, but $40-45 per plate of pasta is astronomical. We will continue to come here because of how amazing it is, but have to save it for special occasions because of the price. If it were slightly lowered on the price, we would come much more often.

    Hands down the most classic Italian place in Los Angeles. My family and I have been going here for over twenty years and it is always AMAZING. The staff, the ambiance, the food - everything is perfect. And insider tip, if you don't get the house gnocchi with Alfredo you are doing it wrong. I've never tasted a gnocchi as good as theirs. A must, must try!

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and elegant. We were seated in the back area, which was stunning and provided the perfect setting for a relaxing family dinner. Our server, Beto, was exceptional. Friendly, genuine, attentive, personable, and welcoming, he made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. As parents of young children, we especially appreciated how quickly everything came out without sacrificing quality. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Laconda salad with salmon (on the side), which was incredibly fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The special house made gnocchi with various cheeses was fresh and delightful. We also enjoyed a cheese pizza and the spaghetti and meatballs, both of which were delicious and expertly prepared. Every dish tasted authentic, fresh, thoughtful, and full of flavor. What stood out most was how effortless the entire evening felt. Great service, beautiful ambiance, and excellent food came together to create one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Locanda Capri has firmly reclaimed its place as one of my favorite restaurants in the area. We left happy, impressed, and already looking forward to our next visit. * A special thank you to Beto for making our evening so enjoyable. Outstanding service can elevate a meal, and he did exactly that. *

We didn't have a reservation so there wasn't a table big enough in the patio area to seat us, but the indoor area was just as cute! We got a Locanda salad and the Brussels sprouts as starters and my friend and I ended up deciding on the Firenze pizza to split. The Brussels sprouts were super tasty and the salad was refreshing after we'd been in the sun so long. I had kinda high expectations for the pizza because there are signs all over on how it's the 5th best pizza in the world(?), but maybe those signs were more so regarding the margherita pizza(?). I typically love pizza with pesto in it--this one had yellow tomatoes + burrata as well, which were both wins in my book, but it was unfortunately way, way too oily for my taste. (We wanted to blot the pool of oil out but didn't want to eff up their provided cloth napkins.) It was still tasty, but i definitely think it cookie been better. That being said, I am really curious about their pastas, so if we do go back in the future, I'll likely go for that instead!

As for my Hanger Steak, everything tasted delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back.

We tried their Spaghetti with Meatballs and Pasta Bolognese, and honestly, both were incredible. Their house-made sauce is rich, savory, and absolutely to die for -- it tasted like a meal straight from an Italian grandmother's kitchen. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese brought everything together beautifully. The meatballs? Tender, flavorful, and easily some of the best we've had. It was so good my daughter almost ordered another plate just to take home -- and honestly, I don't blame her. The Bolognese was perfectly balanced, with every bite delivering layers of flavor. With a solid menu and rotating specials, Caffe Paradiso is the kind of place you'll find yourself craving. Brentwood is lucky to have it. Highly recommend -- come hungry.
