E Baldi

A really delicious dinner, although not as good as the original location in northwest Santa Monica near the PCH. That location being Giorgio Baldi. This is the Beverly Hills and smaller location. Tonight was a very tasty dinner, although for the price I would recommend going to their original location in Santa Monica. Tonight I started with the Beef Carpaccio, which was very good, although not as good as the other location. For my entrée, I chose the Veal Tortellini in Veal Broth, and it was actually very good, albeit a small portion. The Positives: the food quality and the taste are top-notch. They also have a lot of great options on the menu and our server, as well as rest of the staff we encountered, we’re all very polite. I also really like the atmosphere of this place, it’s classy and casual at the same time. The Negatives: it is overly pricey, I am sure due to the cost of the rent being in this part of Beverly Hills. Each of the dishes could definitely be less expensive, also the portion sizes are not very large. The Beef Carpaccio @ Giorgio Baldi is one of the best I have ever had, but this version at e Baldi wasn’t nearly as delicious. The restaurant is also very small on the inside, so the tables are very close together. Conversations between tables easily overlap and moving around in the restaurant feels kind of like you’re inside an airplane. Also, there is a 10% service charge on top of all bills due to it being located in Beverly Hills, which is definitely a negative. Finally parking in this area is not the easiest. We were able to find metered parking a block away, but if that’s not possible your options will be valet parking for $12 or a paid lot close by. Overall a nice dinner, but I would recommend going to their original location instead.

Fine dining at its finest. Compliments to the chef , everything is made with love and had such great taste. I had the meatballs to start , melted in your mouth and made to a perfection. The tomato sauce so light and flavorful. Then I had the sweet corn agnolotti (mascarpone) with the truffle butter. You have to do the scarpetta with the bread. Of course the bread is fresh and they give you a classic and whole grain bread in each basket. And to conclude the small meal, I had a nice chocolate mousse. Homemade whip cream and fluffiness of the chocolate mixed with the raspberry jam at the bottom. Indescribable. 10 out of 5! I could eat everything on the menu ! Service is excellent and the waiters are great characters as well.
