Came here for first time, had heard the food was good. The inside of restaurant is pretty cool. Was seated quickly, server was polite and friendly. Ordered drinks and appetizers along with a pizza we decided to get for dinner. The appetizers came out in timely fashion, and were amazing, the meatballs were juicy and seasoned well, the bread was dense and cheesy, both very good. Our pizza for some reason took an hour to come out, which honestly wouldn't have been a big deal if our server had told us what was going on, if a mistake was made, that happens, we would have understood, but no communication. Lucky for us the apps were so good we were pretty full, lol, the restaurant did give us the pizza for free, which they didn't need to do, but was an awesome gesture. The pizza was worth the wait, probably 1 of the best ive had in a long time. Definitely would recommend this place and will be back again soon.
Nestled in the heart of culinary delight, this vintage Italian gem mesmerizes with its divine pizza bread, a symphony of crispy crust and delicate flavors that dance on your taste buds. The ambience, a perfect blend of rustic charm and timeless elegance, transports you to a bygone era where every moment is an ode to gastronomic bliss. A culinary haven that captures the essence of Italy in every savory bite and enchanting atmosphere. Bellissimo!
We loved the lasagna and fried zucchini. The eggplant parmigiano was pretty good but I prefer the eggplant in red sauce. The rolls were a bit salty to us but not bad. I'd give them five stars just for being interesting. The dark, carved wood with the stained glass light and chianti bottles everywhere made for a unique ambience. Wish I'd gotten some singing but it was a slow lunch hour when I was there.
This place just screams fun. Walking in is like stepping back in time. Looking up, you wonder if this is a Hollywood prop or did someone drink that much Chianti. The sound of piano hits you as you step inside. And for the lover of movies or stage, you'll recognize the tunes. And stick around long enough, the staff may pick up a microphone and sing a tune. The food is definitely shareable, so choose wisely. The Pizza options are good for families, and the salads are just too large for one person. The lasagne is good and hearty while the chicken lasagne disappeared from my friends plate too quickly for me to even attempt a taste. While I only gave the food 3 stars, it isn't because it's bad, but it doesn't stand out. But if you are in Hollywood and have a group of people to feed, this is a terrific place. You get good food, an amazing atmosphere and possibly a show all for a reasonable price.
Fantastic food - great ambiance in a traditional Italian restaurant. If your looking for the perfect meal, candles (LED) on the tables and live piano and waitstaff that sings too, this is a must stop, family owned, local eatery. Service was adequate, but a bit slow at times (took nearly 10 mins for first contact from our waitress). Still, if we lived in this area, this would be a regular place for us, no doubt about it.
Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. The jazz pianist was incredible playing lots of classics in fantastic skill. We ordered the Large Veggie Pizza which was enough for 4 of us to split. Great time. We will definitely be coming back.
I have no complaints.
The food is amazing.
I invited my family to meet up for mothers day dinner.
They were a bit skeptical since their Normal Italian spot is Vincent's in Rancho.
But 😏😏😏😏hey, Than there's this Place that makes you wanna Eat till you can't no more.
😅
Two people ordered spaghetti 🍝
Food was all delicious, the Sausage Cacciatore and Fettuccine Carbonara were the best!
The ambiance and wood decor on the interior is stunning and we loved the vibe.
Live piano music and our waiter did sing a song and had an amazing voice.
Prices are average but go for the history, vibe and food.
A very nice ambiance sets this delightful Italian diner. It's a staple of legendary Hollywood dining. The food is excellent as well as the service. We had lasagna and chicken parmesan. So good. As well, enjoy the live music of a wonderful piano player adding a nice character to the evening. If you've never been to this legendary restaurant, give it go.
We are here with family members a week ago and loved the experience. Food was good, service was good and the fact that many of the waiters were singing traditional Italian songs for everyone along with the great pianist playing was definitely a highlight of this restaurant visit. Recommend checking out Hollywoods oldest Italian restaurant!
