    Terroni is definitely a gem. Parking in this area is a total mission and the outdoor tables are definitely a bit cramped/loud being right on Beverly, but the food is definitely the highlight (the off-menu truffle pizza is a solid 10/10, you have to ask for it). If you're looking for Italian and don't mind a little weho chaos, this is a great spot.

    Terroni is one of my favorite italian restaurants in LA. The pasta is always cooked perfectly and delicious and the servers are kind and attentive.

    Reliable chic neighborhood Italian spot. Great pastas, pizzas, salads and entrees. Reputation for not cutting their pizzas but I'm way past that. I go to the bar for my girl dinner of Negroni, bread, carpaccio di manzo and a glass of wine. Finito.

    Me and my daughter are in love with this place. The flavor or everything is so fresh so authentic and you don't feel bloated after eating all these carbs. Best pizza ever and the fresh pasta is unbelievable. It can get loud during rush hours but outdoor seating is available with heaters.

    Fantastic food but unfortunately, poor service.The pasta here is delicious and a good portion size! They offer corkage as well as a pretty extensive wine list to pair with your meal. The spaghetti with seafood was packed with mussels, clams, squid, and topped with a sizable scallop. The Nutella fritters are incredible too and paired perfectly with a hazelnut ice cream. The restaurant is so quaint and cute inside. There's beautiful chandeliers and old black and white films playing on the wall. A very cool vibe. Our issue was with the service. When we arrived there was hardly anyone in the dinning room but it took nearly 10 minutes to get water. We never were sure who our water was because no one introduced themselves as such and it seemed like a hodgepodge of folks would do various tasks as part of the service. The food came out very fast, like barely got our wine the entree and bread served immediately. After the meal we had to wait another 10 minutes after sitting with the dessert menu for anyone to take our order. After finishing the meal we waited 15 min to get the check. It came to the point where we were questioning if we were supposed to pay at the front. We only got the bill because we got up and asked someone at the bar for it. It was a shame the service didn't live up to expectations because the food was very enjoyable.

    This has been my favorite place to stop while I'm in LA. The food is consistent, the service is amazing, and the ambiance is unbeatable. I have been getting the same pasta (the truffle one) for years now, and never once has it been disappointing. I truly recommend this place if you haven't been before. Everyone I've taken here has always loved it. Also I tried the carbonara for the first time and it was the best carbonara I've ever had. Exceptional taste, fresh, and very unique!

    First time here but highly recommended by my sister and brother in law!.... What an amazing space!!! Love the layout and sooo many layers to this spot!!! Full bar!! Open big kitchen, a little shall boutique and huge wine cellar in back with private event seating plus outdoor patio to boot!! Love the vibes!!! Our sommelier, David was fantastic!! Three of us shared three appetizers one pasta and one pizza plus we all shared one dessert!!! Wowzer....Bill only came out to $145!!!! What a steal!!! Highly recommend this cute small neighborhood restaurant!!! Amazing wine list and great cocktails too boot!!

    What a great local Italian restaurant and bar! Friendly staff, great setting- not stuffy, and wonderful fresh food! We will be coming back!!!

    Tagliatelle Rag. Awful. Watery sauce. Zero flavor .
    Daniel B.

    Bottom-line: extraordinary bland, for $27 for tagliatelle Raghu, do yourself a favor and go to the grocery store , get the ingredients and make it yourself. Pathetic! Here's what 27$ gets you: Oil-slick watery Ragu with zero and I mean zero flavor . Honestly, it tasted like concentrated canned chili. I cannot believe the host recommended this above anything else. This is truly an insult!!! At the very least the pasta came out nice and hot, but where's the flavor ? This was made with zero love.

    Spaghetti in Canna a Mare
    Gary C.

    Terroni on Beverly never misses. The service is warm, attentive, and effortlessly polished, and the food is always exceptional. Every visit delivers, but the Spaghetti in Canna a Mare is unforgettable--perfectly balanced, deeply flavorful, and reason enough to return again and again. A true staple for consistently amazing Italian dining.

    Pizza norcina
    Rebecca T.

    I've heard good things about Terroni, and I finally got to go! We parked a block away in the neighborhood (street parking only) and were one of the first customers for lunch: it started picking up by the time we finished eating. We opted for a selection of dishes, including arancini, spaghetti al limone, and pizza norcina. The arancini was my favorite: absolutely crispy, tender, and oh-so comforting with the cheese, rice, and meat ragu inside. Spaghetti al limone was creamy, yet light, with plenty of zing with the lemon and capers. The pizza norcina was beautiful with ample truffle shavings, although the amount of cream and cheese kind of overpowered the dish (and I do wish the pizza had been cut). Service was on the slow side and a bit standoffish, but we did appreciate our server bagging up and adding some of the delicious bread to-go! Prices were a bit high, but reasonable given the quality. Overall, a tasty little place that I'm glad to have tried!

    How is the parking situation on the weekend (Sunday)?

    What time is the happy hour?

    M-F 4-6:30! Only at the bar and on the patio, though, and it does tend to fill up!

    Is it easy to find a parking spot?

    Pretty easy, but it depends when you go. There's plenty of metered street parking and most surrounding streets aren't permit parking, but weekend nights can be tough.

    Gluten free options?

    Yes! A whole separate menu that you can request to view. No GF pizza, but YES gluten free pasta options and much more.

    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.

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. To start "the best Caesar salad in LA" and I quote which was certainly true. Grilled octopus charred on the inside and juicy at the center. 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.

Dropped by on a Saturday evening with my brother, no reservation. I was worried we'd be stuck waiting for an hour or more for a table but we were seated in less than ten minutes, despite the fact that it was a full house. The menu has an interesting assortment of traditional Italian pastas, Japanese classics, and Japanese-Italian fusion dishes. It's not a huge menu, but is just the right size to have a number of dishes I wish I could've tried all at once. I went with the bacon and mushrooms Japanese style sauce, which was a dashi and soy sauce base with bacon and mushrooms and a garnish of grated radish and nori. This was incredibly delicious, unique, and a true blend of Japanese and Italian flavors. The bacon was phenomenal and there was a generous amount on the plate. My brother got the arrabbiata. He asked them to not make it very spicy, but it still had a good kick (I definitely wouldn't have asked for it to be milder, but to each their own). The flavors were rich. And in both dishes, the pasta was cooked perfectly. Dinner comes with a complimentary salad and rolls. Our food came out fast, and our server was friendly.

I had the pizza, my sister had the filet mignon and one of us had the pasta . The calimari was good as the starter and they also had house bread which was so good. 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.

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.
