Butternut Squash Tortellacci
Pat A.

I love this restaurant: the food is outstanding, the wait staff are excellent, it has a lovely ambience...it's the whole package. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the dessert was disappointing. We had the flourless chocolate torte and it had obviously just been pulled out of the freezer. It was crumbly instead of smooth and fudgy and the taste was bland. However, the rest of the meal was incredible.

Chocolate Decadence
Michael M.

Came on a Wednesday night. Place was packed, that's a good sign. Despite the crowd, it wasn't too noisy. Service was slow at first, but then it seemed we had three or four staff taking care of us. The Caesar salad was a little under dressed. The beet salad needed a little more balsamic glaze. The entrees were all amazing. Thanks god for the bread to sop up all the sauce.

Capellini pomodoro with sausage
Alex L.

What a lovely place for dinner. This is one of those places that I could eat at once every few weeks. The staff is friendly and gracious. The bread looks unassuming - just some baguette with foil-wrapped pats of butter. But there's something so fresh and tasty about it. It's an intangible kind of yumminess that makes you want to keep eating more. The chicken and mushroom Marsala linguini was nice and al dente, with big slices of king oyster mushroom and a tangle of leeks and spinach. The capellini pomodoro was also nice and firm, with bits of tangy tomatoes. I will definitely be back again to the their other pastas

Penne Con Pollo Alla Gorgonzola
Mikey A.

Flavorful cozy pastas and warm inviting ambience! We may have just found our new neighborhood Italian go to spot we came here for our birthday and got take out - both dishes were clearly made with love and were perfect portions for full bellies without feeling too heavy! I loved how many pasta options there were and can't wait to come back and try more. Service was great and I appreciate the big parking lot in the back of the complex !

Rotini Con Pollo

We met friends here for dinner and loved it! We had excellent service, great wine and fantastic food. I live out of state and cannot wait to go back. Beautiful little place for family, friends, work get togethers.

Spicy sausage penne
Nicole C.

Fantastic. Why am I just now trying this place? We got lucky enough to get a table without calling ahead. OK parking behind the restaurant which is great because not a ton of on street parking. Place is so beautiful when you walk in. Service was great and the food- oh the food! Fresh and super flavorful. Can't wait to go back!

Vodka Grilled Italian Sausage w Vodka Sauce
Raj D.

Walking w friend Wendy and we passed by Prima. She said she had been there and it was quite good. Met w friends Party & Del. We decided let's do this. Well... The food was all good from calamari appetizer to the main course and scrumptious beet salad. Oh... The bread they give you is pretty tasty. The problem is you will want to dip it in all the sauces and the cheeses!

Crispy Fried Herb Gnudi
Jeremy S.

Excellent Italian food for a small neighborhood restaurant. We've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Their food and service has always been excellent. My favorite dish is the Penne Con Pollo Alla Gorgonzola, enough to split if your not to starving. A must have is the Crispy Fried Herb Gnudi. Not only is the Gnudi amazing, the garnish and sauce is to die for.

Roast Roasted Beet Salad
Javi N.

We were in the mood for some fine Italian dining and Prima Pasta did not disappoint. We started with the Roasted Beet Salad and it was quite tasty. Our first time here so we wanted to try a few different dishes. Both of our favorites was definitely the Squash & Pumpkin Ravioli, it was really amazing. We then proceeded to share the Roast Duck Confit Ragu which was also really good. Lastly, we had the Lamb Pappardelle which was our least favorite simply because we had over did it with the other dishes first. The service was amazing and they were quick to seat us, attend to us and overall a great experience. We will be back for those Ravioli's soon.

They weren't able to do that with the burrata pasta due to the burrata ball on top which was completely fine! Both pasta dishes were tasty but the lemon pesto burrata blew me away. Every bite was absolutely incredible and it's such a unique dish that's hard to find somewhere else or replicate at home. I completely recommend giving it a try. The focaccia bread appetizer was also amazing! We added & paid for a few extra pieces to accommodate the size of our group and everyone absolutely loved it. The drinks were also really well done & strong without being overly stiff. They were really well mixed and tasty. Our server was so sweet and helped make the experience so special for us. I cannot wait to come back!

Even sitting outside, the service was attentive and welcoming. I was craving something light, healthy, and refreshing, and ended up ordering the Beet Steak salad -- it was SO good and honestly the highlight of my experience! The inside of the restaurant is just as cute and stylish as the patio, with a warm atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Since Eato is especially known for their Italian dishes, I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more from the menu!

I've been watching people enjoy the delightful pasta at Dario from afar for too long! I had to…read morecheck it out for myself and I was not disappointed! Tucked away in its own little corner of North Loop, there is some paid parking directly outside otherwise walking from nearby street parking is possible too! The interior of the space is whimsical and fun with green and pink interior design elements, gold accents, and fun artwork! It truly feels like a special escape from reality when inside...similar to an Alice in Wonderland experience. Our server was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about what to order. I particularly appreciated how our pasta came out in intentional courses from lightest to heaviest. It absolutely elevated the meal to top notch. Known for their handmade pasta, we didn't mess around with any other menu items...we just ordered four different plates of pasta: Doppio, Torteletti, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, and Tajarin! The Doppio was my favorite, with a unique double filled pasta that had a savory sunchoke filling highlighted with a pop of whipped ricotta. The Rigatoni was cozy and warm, serving up perfect comfort food vibes. The Tajarin was the ocean in a bowl and my partner's favorite, but it was a bit too salty for my palate. The food was top notch and the environment was stellar, but I did feel a bit of cognitive dissonance. The food was so grounded, earthy, and cozy yet the interior was whimsical, playful, and ethereal. This disconnect took my out of the experience a bit. Add in that the price points are a bit high, and I could see why some might have different expectations. Overall, I'm glad Dario is taking swings at providing something truly unique to the North Loop! I will absolutely be returning!

Start with an array of tastings with the lobster pasta, then the delicious flavors of the lamb cuisine, and of course the halibut fish option is oooh so good. We concluded our food extravaganza of culinary excellence with the decadent but light chocolate cake, and the coconut sorbet and the another delicious cake dessert. The ambience and excitement of the environment styled restaurant and atmosphere lends itself to a pleasant and fun space to kiki with friends. The service was fun and the handsome staff and beautiful hostess made our experience so welcoming and awesome. Dario is the place to be for any dinner, lunch, weekend social or just for a fun delicious food experience.

I wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor patio as the dining room was a bit loud and dim, but that seems to be part of the restaurant's modern rustic Italian aesthetic. As for the food and service, everything was top-notch. Our order was taken promptly and both our drinks and dishes arrived quickly without feeling rushed. I ordered the spirit-free Lavender Revolution, which leaned a little sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The burrata was outstanding--light, refreshing, and incredible on the toasted bread. The calamari was equally impressive -- perfectly seasoned, crispy, and tender with every bite. For our entrée, we shared the Vodka Rigatoni with added shrimp and it was absolutely delicious--rich, fresh, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Overall Red Rabbit delivered a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. We can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu!

I knew that I had to come because the Korean Chef was crowned a James Beard award. So, I had fairly…read morehigh expectations coming in. When my friend and I walked in, we came into a fairly spacious dimly lit space with loads of people inside. We were immediately informed that there would be over 1.5hr wait for a walk-in table. We were given the option to wait for bar seating as it would probably be quicker - and surely, it was. We did have to wait quite a bit, but it was a tolerable amount of time and definitely less than what it would have taken for an actual table. My friend and I decided to share 2 pizza pies as we wanted to get a taste of two different flavors, so we eventually settled on Korean BBQ & Perfect Pickle Pie. KOREAN BBQ As it was created by a Korean chef, it definitely had true authentic Korean flavors. As a Korean myself, I was very familiar with this soy vinaigrette and have tried this on many salad before - so, it was hitting home for me. Also, you can't go wrong with the bulgogi/beef short ribs known to all those who had Korean BBQ before. The combination of the sauces that they use for this pizza is definitely very rich, full of umami. I personally enjoyed it. PERFECT PICKLE PIE This pie was a totally different flavor to the Korean BBQ. It's less rich and maybe can be overpowered or considered more bland compared to other pizza flavors. But when tried together with the BBQ, it balances out the richness of the BBQ with the more subtle/less umami flavors. This pie gives more of a tangy/sour taste that pickles provide and more of a crunch due to the chips that are added on top. The dill is present, but not overpowering. It's a nice low-key kind of taste that people who like pickles will enjoy. Overall, the flavors were very rich in every pizza pie that we had that our mouths were bursting with flavor. It was definitely the most unique pizza toppings that I've had and can see why it's so highly regarded. I can tell that they really are meticulous with their every process and that their pizza guy by the wood fire oven is expertise in what he does. My friend and I walked out quite satisfied and I was honestly more full than I expected.

Really sad to hear this place is closing. I just hope the chef comes to LA one day!
