I found a hair in my salad. :-( the waitress was doing her best to help me and offered to replace the soup. I wasn't hungry anymore.

Definitely Juicy Italian Food A gem in the heart of Vernon. This place is a life saver. Took my boss here and they loved their food, A++. This place is one of the nicest restaurants in Vernon and I am so happy to have been introduced to it by my buddy. If you've been to Vernon you know there's nothing to eat and go to that is half decent. Now on to the grubs, they have this special sausage pasta that they always say is their special of the day. That dish is the BEST ever, awesome dish. This is the dish that I thought my boss was gonna lick the plate clean. I do the same too, I eat everything and even eat whatever sauce is left on the plate cuz its that good you just want more of it. I've also gotten the chicken marsala another time which was also good. I also got a chicken sandwich there that was pretty good. But I always just get the pasta dish because I can't get enough of it. If you have vendors or coworkers that want a nice Italian place, trust me this place will make you look good. That's what it did for me. It looks like Mi Piace in Old Town Pasadena but in Vernon. Everyone I took here loved it. It's convenient, fast, high ceiling, nice ambiance, decently priced, and yummy. read more

One of Vernon's finest - a hidden gem amongst industrial giants. Ate at Trattoria 25 for the first time this weekend - and I can honestly say it's some of the best Italian food I've had. The warm bread was unique and delicious - had a rustic, old world Italian feel. We had the eggplant appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised it was not breaded! The eggplant was fresh and the tomato/fresh basil topping was perfect! I ordered the pumpkin ravioli, but it was discovered they were out of, so I ended up with the lobster ravioli (at same price). I'm so glad! It was topped with shrimp and sun dried tomatoes- a delicious combination! We topped off the meal with espresso & creme brûlée. Magnificent! The server (Daniel), was outstanding!!! He was friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Great experience at Trattoria 25!! read more

As I sit at the bar in Trattoria 25 I am stunned at how nice of a place this is smack in the middle of Vernon! This is the type of restaurant I have come accustomed to seeing in a place like downtown Culver City! The only downside is that for lunch prices can be on the higher side. I saw prices ranging from about $10-16. Although the prices are high, I felt that the portions (at least what I ordered) were a pretty nice size. I ordered the chicken panini with eggplant and fontina cheese with a side salad. Everything was really tasty. I will definitely be back here. read more

Great Italian place and the only one that's decent here in Vernon in my opinion. I got the Linguine Alle Vongole All'olio Di Frantoio, which was really delicious. Clams were big and yummy and sauce and linguine was not overpowering or too creamy. It was just how I like my Clam linguine; not too creamy, not too heavy, but flavorful. Would definitely recommend this dish. Also tried the Pesce Bianco Al Limone E Capperi, which is a white fish fillet covered in roasted vegetables and a great light sauce. I'm not so big on fish but enjoyed this dish quite a bit. Definitely recommend if you like seafood or especially fish. The great thing about Trattoria is that the food isn't so heavy that it makes you feel so heavy and weighted down after eating it, but still manages to retain really awesome flavor. Prices are great too, most dishes are under $15. read more

Risotto with scallops and grilled salmon. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Crispy outside and moist inside. Smelled 'fresh' not fishy. Loved it. Risotto, however, fell short of my expectations. It was undercooked and felt somewhat grainy. But I am at a local trattoria and paying less than $16. I shouldn't be complaining about risotto not being perfect. Other than that, it was a nice comfort dish. The service was great. I only asked what the zuppa del giorno was, then the server brought me a bowl of green pea soup for try. It was nice. I'll come back here for some pasta dish next time. read more

Service has picked up and it's not so hard to find a seat anymore! Food has also been getting better. Can't complain! ______________________________________________________________ The "nice" place to eat near Vernon.

What a pleasant surprise in the heart of the ghetto that is Vernon. The parking lot is packed with 6 figure cars but the menu is pretty affordable. The selection is authentic and broad. The portions are generous and my chicken breast with rucola and potatoes was near perfect bar the slightly overdone chicken. The decor is nice and LA crisp with white walls contrasting with the dark tables and floors. Service could have been a bit faster but it's probably tough to manage a place that big and busy. Be sure not to show up for lunch after 12.30 or you might have to wait. Mind you, dress code appears to be a button down shirt with or without leopard motif, untucked, read more

Food is yummy. Generous portions. Meal is prepared super fast as this is where EVERYONE in the garment industry come for their business lunch. Quick and fast service so you can haul ur ass back to work in a jiffy. Stop by when u get sick of eating at the taco truck! read more

Gotta love a contemporary Italian restaurant in the middle of a manufacturing district. Such a clean and fabulous place- great location- right on the corner of Santa Fe. I work close by and was craving some pasta for lunch (I never bring a lunch with me and am usually starving by 2 or 3). I ordered a pasta dish to go and the manager insisted I stay and set me up at a table in front. Yum! They let me custom order the ingredients. Penne past in a tomato cream sauce with chicken and spinache. Bread that was served first was ok- kind of dry. At the end of my lunch, they brought me a complimentary slice of their Tiramisu- I usually don't like this dessert- but I must say it was so very good. Sooo good. Rich and moist and had a creamy flavor. Not watery and over soaked like others I have had before. I will be back again and am here to tell other designers/ assistants/ fashion people to check this place out. Delicious and ooh yeah, very reasonable. And clean!!! ***Update- came here again the other day and ordered a pizza. Again I had it custom made- artichoke hearts, olives, sundried tomatoes and capers. Soooo fabulous! I ate 3 slices and saved the rest for the end of the day. Again, the manager set me up in the front while I was waiting and brought me a glass of water and bread to try. They changed their bread and now I think it is pizza bread. LOVE!!! I will be back. Staff is great and attentive. read more

I was with a client in Vernon and we wanted to grab dinner at a nice spot...I suggest WABA grill, lol... The client suggested Trattoria No 25. I was pretty floored by the place when I walked in. Totally unexpected. Lofty ceilings, beautiful photos/paintings on the walls that were huge in size - it kind of reminded me of vegas. But done in a calmer way. The food was prompt and it was good, although I wouldn't say it was the best italian ive ever had. Worth a dinner stop by though. read more

White table cloth ? Way too fancy for this industrial neighborhood ! It's like they dropped a cafe from Italy out of the sky ! Went there for lunch in June... the best restaurant in the area ! Hands down. Good place to take clients for business... and there are ALOT of businesses in the area for sure... all manufacturing for the most part. I had the Chicken Panini.... I thought it was a bit pricy... but it had TWO.. count them TWO chicken breasts ... so I took half home. LEFTOVERS people, the only reason to live ! So two thumbs up... and two chicken breasts up. I will go again soon. read more

Yelp, you let me down tonight :( Food was good until flies started hovering over our meals. We addressed it with the waiter and his response was, "We have a lot of flies because of the weather. I can't stand here and fan them off you."Didn't offer to move us. Didn't seem to care. Lost my appetite after. Couldn't finish my food and my group was quite upset too. He kept arguing with us and stated a health inspector recently visited the premises and said it was ok to have flies because nothing could be done to control them. We told him the restaurant lost a few customers and he said good it's okay you can leave. Never again. And I will check up on health regulations.. read more

it is probably the only nice restaurant in Vernon. it's nice as in clean and fancy looking inside. It reminds me of pasta pomodoro, actually. so not impressive, but pretty "nice". my coworkers and i come here occasionally if we want a nice sit down lunch instead of going for the usual king taco fix. food is average. like pasta pomodoro. nothing impressive. price range is slightly steep for lunch, but thats what we pay for a waiter and warm bread. honestly, i know i can get much better, and less greasy, italian food else where with the same price. so i would wait until i am in a better part of LA to get my italian fix. service is always great. parking is easy. i'll probably continue to dine here only because it's couple blocks from work. read more

I had a reservation booked, and we showed up and the place was completely closed. We called and we saw a lady come to the phone answer our call, and tell us that even though we had made reservations a week prior for my birthday dinner, that they were closed. I understand times are rough but I cannot understand accepting reservations, and then when we arrive telling us they can't help us, with out even giving us a call prior to tell us that they had to cancel. read more

Hands down, this is Vernon's finest dining establishment. Sure, it's not fine dining compared to the rest of LA, but it definitely beats Vernon's other dining options like Capri Cucina and Greenwich (barf). The restaurant is clean, busy with a good crowd, good bread for starters, and large portions! I've tried a few different dishes here..but my favorite is definitely the cappelini in the pomodoro sauce. You can get it with chicken, shrimp or salmon (salmon is my fave...and they give you a generous portion of it!). They have a good menu selection, so everyone that I have been with has had an easy time finding something to order. and if you're feeling really jazzy, they also have wine...score! Service can be slow...and if you're trying to have a quick lunch, it can be difficult. However, the waiters are really nice and we've actually gotten free dessert the last few times we've been. Definitely a plus. Especially because the tiramisu is bomb. So...when you feel like something nicer than the normal king taco, el pollo loco, or waba grill...head over to trattoria...you actually forget that you're in smelly vernon for once! read more

Not bad portions, service, and pricing. Wasn't blown away, but cool spot for the location and working force around the perimeter. Ambience was very nice! read more

The parking valet is a joke, you literally pay for someone to Park your car where you can park it yourself, no set apart spaces. The food good, granted much activists during lunch since it's just about the only place semi formal. I don't think it's the only hidden Gem. Try factory kitchen, you'll have a better comparison. Not to put this place down though. Just saying there are others. read more

What a scam! Ordered the pumpkin ravioli and what I received was pasta in walnut sauce. See picture. Also ordered risotto with salmon and scallops with scallops missing. I placed the order through Uber eats and when I called to restaurant to inquire about the inconsistencies they first told me the risotto doesn't come with scallops (see pic where it says it does) and then literally hung up on me. Gave them the benefit of the doubt and called again- they hung up yet again. Great customer service guys. read more

Great specials good service quality in this location indicates they get a lot of factory management/owners. Nice northern Italian feel. Go.

This is definitely the finest (or only) place to eat in Vernon - a dining oasis in an industrial wasteland. While the restaurant is pleasantly appointed, the service leaves a lot to be desired, which is a shame considering the quality of the food. We had the pasta with frutti di mare, which was a housemade spaghetti loaded with lobster, shrimp, clams and mussels in a tomato-cream sauce with plenty of fresh herbs. Delicious. I was disappointed by a couple of pieces of grit near the clams and mussels, but the flavors were excellent and everything was clearly very fresh. We also had the black risotto with salmon, which is awesome. The black risotto imparts a real nutty flavor, which is unbeatable, and it is perfectly creamy and al dente. The salmon on top is sliced thin, and then pan friend to allow it to crisp around the edges. It is sweet and has great texture. Generally, I prefer my salmon on the rare side, and this is cooked through, but it is still delicious. We have met here for a couple of family lunches on Saturday, because it is centrally located. They also have excellent osso bucco and fabulous tiramisu. I wish that the service was better, but c'est la vie. read more

Not great food, underwhelming. I got sick the next morning. Pizza was on par to Cheesecake Factory.

This is probably the only nice Italian and nice restaurant in the area! There's plenty of parking, food and service is great, but definitely pricey for lunch! But it's a great spot for a celebratory meal or to take customers to during the workday! Portions are fairly large and for those with smaller stomachs, you'll probably have enough leftovers to take home for a small meal or afternoon snack at work! read more

Definitely a gem in the city of Vernon! Super close access from the 10 FWY, not hard to find at all. Ample free parking (little packed during busy hours). I visited with my co-workers for lunch. Lots of regulars, many business people on lunch break, some families, and overall a pretty quick, casual & noisy environment. Great decor, simple paint (warehouse ceiling, blacks/whites/grays), lots of natural light and an open space. Also, a really cute courtyard w/ outdoor seating and a small fountain. I understand that they are usually a little slower during their dinner hours. Full bar & great wine selection. The staff and service were WONDERFUL. They were prompt, friendly, and I NEVER had to ask for more water. Stuff we ate: Bread (baked fresh daily) Calamari (the sauce is freshly made) 2 glasses of pinot grigio (properly chilled and served) Caprese salad (did not skimp on the fresh mozzarella, yummy tomatoes) Heart of Palm salad (the dressing is DELICIOUS and I got it with salmon which was huge) Risotto Nero (boss got it extra spicy & w/ salmon... caution! Hot but amazing kick) Fettucine ai Funghi Porcini (awesome mushroom sauce & seafood) Tiramisu (lots of chocolate shaving on top, but I love chocolate so YUM) Cappuccino (Ruben made 'em... SOO DELICIOUS) Yeah, it was a lot. I'm literally still eating my salad for lunch today, and we visited yesterday. But I was VERY happy. Food is tasty, my salmon was PERFECTLY cooked (it's usually much too dry), portions are generous, prices are reasonable. You'll pay about the same for an entree at a chain sit-down, but it's much more delicious here. Ruben, the manager, was super on-point, accommodating, hospitable, and professional. We probably had 5 different staff visit our table, meaning they aren't afraid to help you out. Most servers are "stick to my section" servers or "worry about my own" so it was refreshing to actually feel welcomed and cared-for. I'll definitely be bringing my family here, and I hear they do banquets & special events... totally looking into it! read more

What a nice little gem in this area. I wasn't expecting it to be so nice inside, given its in more of an industrial location. I had the angel hair pasta which was perfect. I wasn't too excited about the eggplant because it was a little overcooked and sliced too thin. read more

Was here for a business lunch. Had the black rice Risotto with salmon. An extremely tasty dish of food. My glass of Arnold Palmer was kept filled the entire time we were there and our server was helpful with the menu and fast with the food. I did notice there seem to be a lot of regulars that eat here as the manager was kept busy with handshakes and smiles. For a lunch, prices are kind of steep, but for the quality of food, service offered and cleanliness of the restaurant it's easy to justify once in a while. Enjoy! read more

This is our go to place because it's casual and the food is consistently good. We've never ever had a problem with service and always have a casual, relaxing time. We appreciate the free bread appetizer. I usually get the fettuccine with salmon and the salmon always tastes fresh. We also get the pepperoni pizza which is good. We've had the tiramisu a few times, which is worth ordering. This little place is a great, solid spot with a chill vibe. If you're in the area and are tired of Mexican food, its definitely worth checking it out. We'll be back soon. read more

Trattoria 25 - Bigoletti - Italian Near Me - Vernon, California

Lovely lunch. Free parking & when you are walking up doesn't look like much. Walk in the restaurant & you are in a modern, open-air, loft-esque busy spot. Sat next to the bar. Brasil v. Chile game was on in HD. Was greeted & seated by host who happened to be the owner. Gino is his name. Ordered the Caprese Salad to start which was fresh, lovely, mozzarella was just right. Not small salad but not huge either. Then got the Risotto w Porcini mushrooms. Risotto was piping hot and a little over-cooked. Creamy though & that was the redeeming factor. Honestly, in terms of the risotto, I feel like I could've made better. Best part: Gino offered a cappucino & dessert. I was stuffed & could only handle the cappucino. We spoke about the world cup, chatted a bit and he told me he's opening another Trattoria at Melrose and La Brea. Excited for that! The cappucino was great. Strong, just enough foam, delicious. (I am a coffee/espresso addict.) Check comes & it turns out the cappucino was free. I imagine if I had accepted then the dessert would've been too! Next time. Go here - Gino is charming, service is swift, atmosphere is perfect. Lunch is a lot of working professionals. When I pulled in the parking lot the minority were the Toyotas if you know what I mean. Go & order a pizza pie, pasta, salad (very fresh) & def dessert! Just stay away from the risotto. Wasn't terrible just wasn't worth the $12. Overall - 4.75 Stars!!! read more

Went here for lunch today and wow! what a great spot. The pumpkin soup was a great starter, but the salmon and shrimp pasta with saffron sauce was the star. I have to admit I am a sucker for a good saffron sauce. Service was lightening fast and the atmosphere was great too. Will definitely go back, you should too. read more

So we went to dine here around 8pm because the restaurant was advertised for closing at 10. My wife and I were celebrating a special occasion so we ordered a bottle of wine. The waiter was very nice until he accidentally spilled a quarter of our wine on the table. I then said to him will we be able to get the portion of the wine that we lost in an additional glass of wine and he said yes. Dinner arrived and the food was very tasteful. Everything seemed seasoned with care. As we are close to finishing up our meal a different waitress comes over and hands us the check at 9pm and wishes us a good night. However, we had intentions of ordering coffee and dessert and we were still had about a quarter of our wine bottle left to drink. Also, we were never compensated for the wine that spilled at our table. Had we been made aware when we sat down that they were closing at 9 we would have went about dinner differently and not have ordered a bottle of wine or been so relaxed during dinner. The staff then began to tell each other goodnight in loud voices and say "I'm leaving it's time to go" in very loud voices so that the remaining people in the restaurant would get the hint. As if that wasn't enough they then proceeded to turn off the light in the restaurant while their was still tables sitting and dining in the restaurant. I was absolutely appalled! I have dined in many restaurants all over the world and this is the first time where lights were actually turned off on me at 9:45 when the restaurant was advertised at closing at 10. We had to rush and guzzle our wine because they decided to be unprofessional and close before their advertised time. I am just completely in awe at the selfishness and inconsideration that the staff showcased tonight (4/13/18). That I don't think I will ever return to dine here again. read more

The Salmon Risotto is absolutely amazing, but the Margarita Pizza and the Linguine and Clams were okay

Nicest italian restaurant in the area! Have a business lunch and dont want to go downtown? Have only 30 minutes for lunch and want to impress a cute coworker? Simply feeling like indulging on a Friday just because you deserve it? I recommend this place! The service was super fast, we were promptly seated and our pasta was divine. I had the "frutti di mari" and my friend had the "fettuccine al funghi with scallops and shrimp". Their sauce is light and delicious. I am definitely coming back for more. And if you're questioning why the 4 stars only: its a little pricier than i expected. We've ordered 2 dishes and drank water, and the bill came out 31.00 (w/out tips). I was not prepared to spend 35+ to dine in Vernon. read more

"I usually don't write reviews of places I've only been to once...but WOW. This place is amazing!" -- That is how I started off my review of Trattoria 25 after my first visit. We went back today. We had the linguine with clams in a white wine, garlic and butter sauce. Unusual, but the small clams were served in their shells. VERY tasty. And the other dish was also linguine with a spicy tomato sauce with seafood. A nice mix of shrimp, mussels, clams, blue crab and a half LOBSTER TAIL! Both dishes were large portions and quite filling. Let's just say, we left very little behind! The rest of this review still holds true. The restaurant is large and quite nicely set up. It has dark wood tables, tasteful decor and uniformed waiters. Everything is very new (it only recently opened). The front and back walls are all glass--not much to look at in Vernon, but as it was raining, it was kinda nice. The music they play is mostly a mix of sophisticated Spanish and Mexican music (Gypsy Kings, Alejandro Fernandez, etc.). Not intrusive and sets a nice atmosphere. The food: I ordered the lunch special of handmade ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta in a pink sauce. VERY tasty! I was suprised at how good they were. A little parmesan cheese and parsley on top. I actually said ALOUD to myself, "this is amazing". Before the main dish came out I was served a basket of freshly baked bread (baked on the premises). Again, WOW, the bread was flavorful, dark on the outside--just the way I like it--and soft and warm on the inside. This bread has character! Finally I had a cup of strong dark coffee served with milk on the side. It was the finishing touch on a nice lunch. The service was very professional and responsive. There is a large number of waiters and they are looking around to see if anybody needs anything. You don't have to struggle to get their attention. At least four of them, including the one who took my order, came to check up on me. My only complaint is that the waiter who took my plate also took the remaining bread! I was not paying attention, so I could only look on with regret as he walked away. :-) The menu is varied, soups, salads, pasta, seafood, chicken, paninis, desserts. The parking is ample. It looked like there is an outdoor patio area available for seating in the center of the building. I forgot to go and check it out. Going back? Damned straight! This place has filled the hole left by the closing of Il Treno. read more

Cannot fool Italians at this restaurant Menu is basic Italian/American (carpaccio, pasta etc etc) BUT everything is unnecessarily too creamy and overly reach. Finally a burned espresso for $4... Total for 2 people WITHOUT wine: $102 Just a tip: Clean the coffee machine daily... not bimonthly Will not come back read more

Love this place! Been here dozen of times! Highly recommended. I usually have the panini! The best
