I love their nachos, they are elegant, natural tasting and real. I've eaten nachos at other places like chipotle, and pinche's tacos and these are so much better tasting. The jambalaya, pasta alfredo, and ravioli were excellent. All their pasta dishes are high quality. I had the salad nicoise, it was fresh but it wasn't to my taste. read more

I was excited to find a kosher spot open during Passover. It's no small task to fully kosher a restaurant just to operate for a single day. I can overlook the higher prices given the special Passover menu, but for a place positioning itself as fine dining, I expected more flavor--any flavor, in the tomato and fettuccini pasta dishes. It gets a higher star than I would normally give it, because they did their best with gluten free pasta. The service and ambience were excellent, but I'd still choose La Bottega across the street for kosher Italian with much tastier dishes. read more

Atmosphere vibes are nice. The pastas are bland. The French fries and nachos were good. The Caprese I can make better at home. Overall, try it see if you like it but to for us it was expensive and not worth it. The waiter didn't once come and ask if we need anything for over 1 hour. read more

Great food, great service. Would recommend a kosher place with nice authenticity and atmosphere!

One star. Very disappointing experience at Trattoria Natalie. The food was horrible and tasted far from fresh. When I mentioned that something didn't seem fresh, the owner reacted in a mean and defensive way instead of handling the feedback professionally. Good food and respectful service go hand in hand, and unfortunately, this place had neither. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it. read more

Disappointed in service and food - very slow , looks like microwaved food. Do not come

I had the most disappointing experience at Trattoria Natalie. This so called "kosher" Italian restaurant is nothing more than an overpriced, bland, and poorly managed establishment. The food is ridiculously overpriced for how bland and uninspired it is. The food took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, my dish was cold and clearly had been sitting around for a while. When I politely brought this up to the owner, he was incredibly rude, rolled his eyes, and tried to blame us for "taking too long to eat"which was a blatant lie. Aside from it being cold, it's definitely not edible, unless you are STARVING. The owner's unprofessionalism doesn't stop at customer service; he is one of the most unprofessional people I've ever encountered. He treats his staff horribly, creating a toxic work environment that you can feel just by sitting in the restaurant. It's clear he has no idea how to run a business, let alone one that relies on repeat customers. On top of that, They even charge for water. Which tells you everything you need to know about how greedy this place is. With the way this place is run, it's no surprise that the majority of reviews are 1 star. Trattoria Natalie is truly the Chum Bucket of Italian restaurants. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values good food and good service. read more

Got this for delivery and did not disappoint. The tomato salad is a perfect flavor, the butternut squash soup was also very flavorful, good mashed potatoes, solid Caesar salad (although chicken was a bit dry) and the meatballs will definitely order again. Also got the olives & nuts - just wish I knew ahead they were going to be spicey with red pepper. read more

The food, service and ambience can't be beat. You can't go wrong eating here. Strongly recommend!

How do I give this place 0 stars? I don't even know where to start. The food is pretty mid really nothing so special but the prices make it seem like you're at a really fancy high class restaurant. I mean the place is you're paying are insane for the food that you're getting. Beyond overpriced. Service I don't even know where to begin. First of all the owner is an elderly Frenchman, who is rude to basically everyone. I had a terrible experience here multiple times due to his attitude. He also hires underage high school kids as waitresses making the ambience just seemed very unprofessional for something that's supposed to be a high class dairy restaurant. Two out of three times that I've been here he has yelled at me the first time was because I didn't tip enough. Last time I checked tipping amount depends on the service that you receive and I wasn't so happy with the service so I didn't tip a great amount. Let's not forget that tipping is optional and I still did leave a bit of a tip. Just not a huge amount. He yelled at me and the people that I was with that it was extremely rude not to tip more. The other time was because I had left my wallet at a table at the restaurant, and when I went back to see if it was still there, he ended up just yelling at me and telling me he didn't have it. I also called to try to speak to someone over the phone to avoid him because I obviously wanted my wallet back and he ended up being the one on the phone and screamed at me even more. Overall, terrible experience if you're looking for a good dairy place, I would recommend anything but this. Formaggi recently opened up in the city. It's a bit smaller, but the food is way better and better price and the service is amazing. All the waiters there and the owner is so beyond kind. If you find yourself in the valley, there's great places like Roladin and popular by Tel Aviv that just opened. read more

I have been driving by this place for such a long time and never went inside I'm so happy I did. I decided to stop by for dinner with my daughter and we both love this restaurant. They have some unique offerings on their menu the staff was super nice and went over the options that we can order. They have a great wine selection and it is very quiet inside so if you're looking to have a conversation and hear the other person talking this is a great location to do so. I would recommend this location to anyone looking to grab a good meal and have a nice sip of wine as they have a pretty extensive wine collection read more

The restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived for our party for six. Four entrées came out and two, which was risotto with salmon took 45 minutes and didn't come out until everyone else had finished their dinners. Risotto was so salty. It was unedible. Very disappointing. read more

Before going there I read some of the reviews and wasn't sure what the experience would be. I was very pleasantly surprised. The food waa AMAZING. We had pizza and two different pastas and it was delicious!!!! The owner was so sweet and welcoming. The deserts (crème brûlée and Banana split) were the best I have ever had. Thank you!!!!' read more

Came here for lunch today with a couple of clients. First let me say customer service was wonderful! Very nice people. Their prices are very high for the quality of food. I had eggplant parmigiana and it seemed like all breading and cheese. I didn't even taste any eggplant. The noodles and marinara sauce lacked any seasoning. Iced tea was good though, it's a cute spot with outdoor dining too. Parking at meters. 119.00 before tip for a salmon salad and two eggplant parmigiana. Sorry but I wouldn't come back. I can make way better at home. It may be Kosher, but food was terrible. read more

Had a Greek salad to start. Dressing was thankfully light, feta cheese was plentiful as were the olives. Margarita Pizza was good; crust is quite thin here. We asked for it to be non-crunchy, and they slightly undercooked it - perfect. The risotto with shiitake mushrooms was very tasty. The salmon with BBQ sauce and apples was an unusual and intriguing special, which left us with dinner for the following day as well. Service was excellent. Ambiance superb as usual (see pictures). read more

If I could give a zero, I would. Bland and just plain terrible, inedible unless you're starving, and way overpriced food. Very rude staff. I rightly complained and he argued with me. That's a first. Then he yells as I'm already outside the restaurant don't ever come back. Have no worries there. Never have I seen a restaurant that did this. Don't trust the 5 star reviews. They're fake or very old. Take your hard-earned money elsewhere. This restaurant was completely empty. Now I know why. read more

The owner of this restaurant displayed a level of inhumane treatment towards others that I have not seen in a long time. I highly encourage you to not support this terrible man and his business. I brought my father here tonight, with the hope of having a nice dinner. My father, nearing 80 years old, who still works a full time job and is in LA temporarily, helping care for my sister who is suffering from Cancer, had a particularly hard day today. He wanted a quiet place to eat a kosher meal and recover a bit from the day. When we were greeted, my father asked in a kind, mild mannered way (true to his personality), "Is there a quiet spot where we can sit?" The owner took great offense to the question, as if we were wishing an empty restaurant on him, and told us to leave and eat somewhere else. I explained to the man that my father is exhausted after a hard day, and he is in town for the purposes of caring for his ill daughter. And, still, the man insisted we leave and go somewhere else. He was rude, dismissive, aggressive, and left me feeling such sadness for my poor father, who simply asked if there was a quiet place to sit. If you value kindness and respect at all, please choose from the number of nearby kosher restaurants instead of this one. They will be kinder and certainly able to handle a simple question from a nice person. read more

This is just on the *service* we live in the area, never tried it and my friend and I walked in on a weekday and it was empty so we asked if we could sit for a glass of wine during this heatwave. The owner told us to go to a bar and visibly shooed us away with the menu (lol) him and the host were just rolling their eyes at the question and were over the top about it. Bizarre but I don't recommend this place for vibes that's for sure. read more

If you haven't ate unkosher food then you might not realize how subpar the food is. This is also not a good place for groups, your food will come out at vastly different times. We even had food come out cold. If you try to communicate with the waiters, they will become flustered and confused as they all appear to be high school students without previous experience. The owner is combative if you try to communicate your experience with him and will walk away from you. It seems like he does not care about the experience or food. read more

5 stars for the food quality . Very tasty Little expensive - but I guess everything is pricy this days . Great nachos Great white pizza Good service also Will repeat . Thank you . read more

I really wanted to love this place, but with the heavy price tag and mediocre food I'll pass on it for next time. I make it all better at home. My family got several pasta dishes and I got the Nicois. I'll focus on things that I actually tasted. 1) Margherita pizza was lacking. It was really salty and I would have liked some fresh basil on top, there was no Parmisan cheese on there which is what makes the pizza what it is. A Margherita pizza is made with high quality grain flower not all purpose, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, and marinara sauce. What I got was an Americanized cheese pizza with some basil thrown on top. D- 2) Garlic and Olive Oil Pasta What we got was a sad version of Penne Olio e Olio. The garlic tasted pickled which is not the correct way to make the dish. The pasta was also way over cooked. 3) Nicois, this is actually a super easy dish to make so I had a lot of hope for it. The tuna used was not the quality that you serve to people partially raw, it was hard to chew. There was no mustard in the vinaigrette which is what makes the dressing in the Nicois unique and special. 4) I tried the apple cobbler, cheese cake, tiramisu, and chocolate lava cake. I'm not a baker but I've had way better. The tiramisu needed more coffee in the cake, it was bland. The cheese cake was lacking the crust was sad. They also serve Mexican style food which I wouldn't if the focus of your menu is Italian/ French food. Sadly this was the best item on the menu. So maybe go back to the drawing board and refocus on the menu and the quality. read more

We really like the pizzas here. Never been at the restaurant however we ordered delivery and the pizzas are really good!

Great food and the quality is amazing. They really use fine ingredients to give each dish that French taste. I happen to love the pizza and the Nachos are to die for. If you are interested in a soup, then you HAVE TO TRY the onion soup- heaven, heaven, heaven! When eating there you feel like you're actually in a French Cafe- the vibe is really nice. Try it out! You won't be disappointed! read more

We enjoyed every bite. it's the best in town. We had a great experience. The owner is super nice! The food exceeded our expectations, from the appetizers to the main course and desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Trattoria Natalie - Left over in 1 minute frome the tiramisu dessert - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I don't know where to start. Billed as "a kosher restaurant that your non-kosher friends will like"....NOT on your life. Could be one of the very worst dinners we have ever had. The pastas were like mush mac and cheese, and were allegedly alfredo, but I swear it was over cooked mac and cheese kids noodles with some butter parmigiana. A feta salad which I could hardly taste any dressing (and couldn't find the feta) and the most terrible eggplant parmigiana we could imagine. Two slices of eggplant about 6mm thick and 2.5 cm round, with cheese and sauce (more on the sauce to come) and what I shudder to say was a side of "pasta"....again the ubiquitous mush of small shell pasta, this time smothered with a red sauce I can only describe as a very canned taste like Chef Boyardee. The bill was super high for this poor level of quality, or dare I say non-quality. I am sorry, but calling this a trattoria or anything resembling an Italian restaurant, is a miscarriage of food justice. To top it off, there is zero ambience (just a big cold room) if you are sent to upstairs Siberia. A stark empty room with even less ambience, and colder (not a/c colder) than an oil worker's dorm in Siberia. Speaking of air conditioning, theirs' has a vibration that causes an entire North side of the upstairs room to move and annoyingly hum in your ear. Last, don't think real waiters. There are a bunch of kids who can't get orders straight and the food kept being delivered to the wrong tables all night, even though they have numbers on tacky wire stands on top of each table. This place should never have had a second upstairs dining room, as the kitchen can't take it. Think one person getting their soup and the salad coming 12 minutes later and first going to a wrong table. You get the picture. Management needs lessons in what real service is. Overpriced, undermanaged and beyond bad. Even if they had comped the meal and given us that 14 dollar bottle of terribly overpriced Argentine merlot (at believe it or not.. 55 dollars!) for free, we wouldn't come back NOT EVER. I only wish I had taken pictures, but couldn't wait to leave. ZERO. The plethora of 1 stars for this place is to be believed. Only sorry I didn't look first. read more

Went for lunch with a friend, seated right away , modern decor , we ordered the risoto balls and it's delicious , we also ordered Caprese Salad and Rigatoni Shitake , very creamy and delicious as well and creme brulee for dessert, Great service as well , It was a relaxed and fun lunch read more

Delicious food. But I really come for the desserts. The crème Brulee is insane, as is the tiramisu. Those are my go-to favorites with the chocolate cake and apple pie being close seconds. The owner and staff are friendly and patient, and the ambiance is great for a romantic dinner, business lunch or girls night out. Highly recommend! read more

We had a bad meal there in terms of a small amount of cheese on the pizza and the eggplant parm. The owner's reaction was grossly disrespectful and inappropriate. I will not patronize this place anymore and I suggest that anyone who reads this post follow my example. I have also noticed similar posts about the owner on Yelp. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I have never experienced such poor service and had such a strange experience at a restaurant before. The staff bringing out the food will bring it to the wrong table and bring you salt after you finished your food. There's a chance your food may come out cold or wrong. If you want it fixed, be prepared to wait. Go somewhere else. read more

I was really hoping this place would be good as it's near my home. Sadly, it was as disappointing as the sad looking pastas we ordered. 1) The food was bland and definitely not worth the price. $20 for a potato gnocchi... I don't mind paying the price, but if I'm paying $20 the quality better be up to par. 2) we were asked if we were ready to order 3 times by 2 different servers within 5 mins... give me a minute to take a look at the menu please. 3) once we ordered we were ignored for like 20 mins and had to flag a server to ask for the glass of water we never got when we first ordered. 4) every 4-5 mins after we received our food, we were asked by 4 different servers "everything okay?" It's obvious they don't keep track of sections and are not well organized. Save your money and prevent a disappointment. Update: and the owner is extremely nice (sarcasm). read more

4.5 STARS I've been wanting to go here for a long time now and I finally went. And I was very impressed! This is such a welcomed edition to the kosher restaurant scene in Los Angeles. We parked on the street at a meter (free). I didn't see valet parking and not sure if they have it. AMBIANCE __________ This restaurant is beautiful. -high ceilings -brick walls -wine racks on the walls as decoration -white and green table clothes (2 colors, not the cliche checkered ones) -lots of customers but plenty of open tables too around 8 on a weeknight. -this would be a good place for a date -this place does not have romantic lighting. Just regular lighting. While that's a little bit of a minus for me on the one hand because I would of liked a romantic Italian kosher place. It's also a plus because it means that it is also fine to come here with your friends. -Not really a good place for kids -Looks like there is a party room upstairs too. This would be a nice place for a party. Wondering what to wear? Dress "nice". It's not casual but it's not dressy either. Kosher restaurants have a bad rap for not being as nice looking as their non-kosher competitors. This restaurant reverses that stereotype. FOOD ________ YUM! Very, very good and delicious. I really enjoyed this meal. However, I'm going to be a bit picky here since it yelp. Menu consists of appetizers, soups (2 different kinds), pizza, pasta, and fish. It is a kosher dairy menu so no meat here and lots of veggie options. This place is good for vegetarians but vegans might have a tough time finding something to eat. They also had a wine list. Very classy. People were raving on here about the bread but it didn't really blow me away. It could have been served a little warmer. It came with two special sauces (no butter) which were alright and a nice change but not really my cup of tea. The pizza did look delicious but we didn't order it because it comes as a pie, not by the slice. I would definitely try it though next time. 1. Strawberry Salad -Loved how this salad sounded. It had lettuce, strawberries, feta cheese, dried cranberries and a strawberry dressing. - It was very refreshing. Felt like I was eating food just picked from the garden. -The one caveat I had was that the dressing needed to be mixed in better. At first I thought there wasn't enough dressing but discovered that was not the case when I got to the bottom of the salad. -The feta seemed to be having a bit of an identity crisis as it was neither big and firm or small and scattered but somewhere in between. I think it would have been better if it was crumbled on the salad. The cheese is a star ingredient. It needs to be treated as such. 2. Spinach and Artichoke Penne Pasta -At first I didn't want to get this pasta because it came with alfredo sauce. The only alternative was a make your own pasta OR a plain pasta with tomato sauce. ALL the other pastas had alfredo. -While there was an interesting variety of pasta dishes, the sauce for said dishes need VARIETY. I'm envisioning marinara, arribiata, pesto, lemon sauce etc. One sauce for all the dishes is a BORING. Although, on the plus side, it probably means the chef has mastered this sauce. In this case, (s)he has! -I was actually pleasantly surprised by the alfredo sauce. I was expecting a heavy cream sauce which is the reason why I hate alfredo. But this sauce was classy. It was light. It melted in my mouth. I wasn't too rich either. It's the perfect alfredo. -They used the right amount of sauce for the pasta too. Not too much and not too little. This is a very important element of the dish and they got it just right. -'The way something is cooked is also very important. The artichokes and spinach and pasta were all cooked just right. LOVE! 3. Chocolate Lava Cake -The presentation was so beautiful that the people next to us asked what it was. -Just the right amount of vanilla ice cream on top. Don't get it without the ice cream. It needs it. -If you love chocolate, order this. SERVICE _______________ -The waitress was very attentive. We had to ask her to come back so we could discuss what to get but not to wait a long time. She came in the perfect amount of time. She also checked on us and asked us how we liked our food. -We split out food and we did not have to ask to get extra plates. They brought them. We also did not have to ask for serving utensils. This was EXCELLENT service. -Everything came out pretty quickly too. -Those nifty little buttons that people posted in the pictures on yelp to call the staff weren't there this time. I was kind of disappointed because I wanted to try it. Overall ________________ Definitely a MUST TRY for kosher LA. A kosher restaurant your non-kosher friends will also love. This place, although TOTALLY worth it, is a bit pricey. Our meal came to about $50. read more
