Morgan was a wonderful waitress!! The food was absolutely amazing, I usually have leftovers no matter what I order at a restaurant but I ate everything and we shared a desert! Definitely reccomend! The prosciutto appetizer, taglietelle and hazelnut cake are delicious. I'm gluten free and there was a good amount of options and the waitstaff was very kind and knowledgeable about the options for me!

One of the coolest spots in town with absolutely incredible food. Great mixed drinks as well. My girl and I love it. Well worth the drive from the Studio City to the east side.

Hippo is one of the best restaurants in Highland Park. It one of the few restaurants on the Michelin guide and for good reason! The food here is inspired by italian classics and the drink menu is curated to perfection for a sit down restaurant. I would suggest ordering a few plates and sharing everything with the people at your table. They serve complimentary focaccia when you’re seated, so make sure you factor that in when ordering. I’ve been here a few times and a MUST order item are the hippo rolls with cinnamon honey butter. It is a perfect brioche that pairs perfect with their house whipped butter. The burrata is served with their house grilled bread. I think the bread is grilled in garlicky olive oil and topped with a healthy amount of salt. The pasta options here are great as well. The pork and duck ragu dishes are rich in flavor and the pasta has a nice bite to it. Same goes with their bucatini and rigatoni dishes - they do a great red sauce here! Don’t sleep on their meat/fish/game menu. The cedar smoked trout is probably my favorite thing on this menu. It’s served with corn and an addicting green goddess sauce. The fish is perfectly flaky and delicious. Lastly dessert! There’s usually a seasonal rotating option that I always order. Always a good way to end a meal. TLDR: Hippo is a great restaurant for any occasion. You really can’t go wrong with anything on their menu and the service is top tier.

Truly delicious food, great service and a warm atmosphere. Perfect spot for date night or dinner with friends! Love the range of vegan starters, could do with another vegan pasta dish but the vegan bucatini is superb. Lots of gluten-free options too. Outdoor seating available with gas burners for warmth. Only downside is that they don’t allow you to bring your own birthday cake. But we still had a fantastic evening, would highly recommend!

The place was loud and busy but our food was served at a nice pace. We munched on burrata and fett’unta bread and hamachi crudo while waiting for the main dishes. The spaghetti with clams and jalapeño pesto as well as the sweet corn cappellacci were amazing. I think the pastas are the restaurant’s star dishes . The grilled scallops and chicken were burnt. The latter came with a very salty aji panca sauce. The desserts were a sweet finish and we loved our drinks.

Pasta dish was exceptional. Robust yet balanced flavor (i.e. not overly buttery and had depth) and I appreciated that it wasn’t an overwhelming portion. The mezcal-based cocktail I got was also on point, ordered a second! Staff super friendly. Enjoyable and spacious atmosphere.

Yum! Bread was delicious. Get the prosciutto! We had the steak which we asked for medium rare, but it came out well done and was a bit chewy which was disappointing. Nice ambience and pleasant service.

Great service and yummy food. Not a huge beer selection but the outdoor patio set up is pretty sweet. Ok came back 3 years later, Nov 2023 and food was amazing. Hippo rolls YUM
