Rather Be In Darmstadt
+4.5
This is a three-and a half star restaurant at a two star price, definitely not simple "casual dining.". Leave room for dessert to try the Paradiso chocolate cake ala mode. The service was the very best I've seen outside coat-and-tie establishments. Good wine list + great atmosphere = perfect romantic dinner.
Best Italiana food in the state
Greatist italiana food ever!!
I liked this place because the owner is on top of it, and he's enjoying it. The gnocchi was freshly made, large and chewy. Eight different types of sauce for gnocchi. I liked Fettuccine Sicily, which had a lot of scallops in red sauce that had a nice kick. I liked it better than Linguine Diablo, which lacked a kick. My most favorite here was Fettuccine Alfredo. It was very rich and creamy. The servers were very attentive and responsive. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar served here was probably the best quality I had at a restaurant.
Loved the quaint and intimate atmosphere! Menu selection plentiful and fresh! Food was delicious. Service was a bit slow, but so personal it was easy to excuse!
Gnocchi in gorgonzola cream and spinach. Wow! Had 1/2 portion. Companion had white fish, also delish. What's not so good? The tiramisu. They said its house made. It's not..
This place was absolutely lovely. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and most importantly, the food was beyond amazing. My boyfriend picked it out after seeing a bunch of awesome recommendations on here, so he thought we'd give it a try, and it was well deserved. Honestly, some of the best Italian food I have tasted in the area recently. The place I rather small, so it gave it a more intimate feeling. Overall, I have absolutely no complaints about this place. Also, be sure to get the apple crisp a la mode for dessert, it was perfectly delicious!!!
This is my favorite Italian restaurant. No matter what you order, it is always fresh and absolutely delicious. You can't get food like this anywhere else. The owner, Steve, is a super nice guy as well.
This is one of the best kept secrets in West LA. Exceptional Italian food with great service. The bread with their unique dips are lovely, or have the bread with their house made balsamic vinegar (which you can purchase and take home!). Their wide range of gnocchi dishes is their specialty but they make everything great. You must try their chocolate paradiso cake for dessert - absolutely nothing compares! Steve (the owner) is super friendly and is often there to make some great food or wine recommendations. You will not be disappointed!
Sprazzo is one of my favorite Italian places in LA. The owner and staff go out of their way to make sure the dining experience is a great one. In terms of food, they have a good selection of Italian favorites, plus a few surprises. I particularly like the selection of gnocchi dishes they offer.
Had wedding rehearsal dinner here. Great atmosphere and food. Manager and staff were attentive to our party of ~10 people. They accommodated bringing our own wine with a small corkage fee.
On my list of places to visit again! It's a fairly small place, but very comfortable and cozy inside. We easily made a same-day reservation for dinner (for 2) at 7:30p on a Monday, and when we arrived, the host had one of the booths set aside with a "reserved" sign. It was the last booth available, so I'm glad we reserved in advance. We got started with soft, warm, and delicious complimentary bread, and had the caprese antipasti and a half-bottle of the house Sauvignon Blanc. The caprese was very fresh, and not heavy on the oil & balsamic. I ordered the Gnocchi Loren, and my date had the Lobster and Shrimp Tortellini. Both were delicious, and the portion size was big enough to feel satisfied, and small enough not to have leftovers. We finished off the evening with a small glass of Porto from the dessert menu.
Love going to Sprazzo. The owner Steve & his staff treat you w/ care. A family owned restaurant, you feel like one of the family during your meal. They have been especially helpful during COVID 19, making ongoing great meals & accommodating curbside pick up. I like to support a small family business like this where I know they care.
