Simply delicious. You can tell every morsel is cooked fresh & with love. small intimate setting, great neighborhood spot. wish the portions were bigger, esp for leftovers but service is great, everyone is friends, and the sauces, pasta, seasoning, etc are spot on. - try for yourself!
Delish!. I love this place. The food is amazing, the ambiance is warm & welcoming, and the service is top-notch. I love that the owner is always there and is clearly very involved with every part of this business.
The authenticity is clear from the moment you walk in the door (the owner is very charming). The ingredients are super fresh. I even broke my no-carb diet after my friends wouldn't shut up about how amazing the pasta was (totally worth the extra workout the next day). The penne with meat sauce was my favorite.
will definitely be back.
The BEST ITALIAN FOOD I have had in LA. Honestly - this food was incredible. I had the salad with shrimp and the pasta with veal ragu. My friend had the grilled branzino, which she raved over. We shared a caramel cream dessert which was insanely good. And their cappuccinos are amazing. This place is simply the best Italian food I have had since living in Italy. Now I'm thinking I shouldn't be so positive about my review because it will now be harder to get into. Oh, well...
Yummy. I went to this restaurant recently for my cousin's birthday dinner and it was really amazing. The service was super attentive and the food was excellent! everyone left completely happy--totally satisfied with the meal, the wonderful wine that we enjoyed and some scrumptious desserts. I can't wait to go back!

Love it. The food is superb and the service is excellent , fun atmosphere, love the outside seating . Number one Italian restaurant .
Absolutely Delicious!!. I have eaten at this restaurant over a dozen times because the food is divinely wonderful and the service is impeccable! I just read a couple of absurd reviews...the food is fresh, authentic and cooked to perfection. The bread basket is dangerous because the fresh baked breads are warm and delightful. Best Italian food in Los Angeles....and the wines are great too!!
WOW!. Let me just say, i am a italian food kind of guy... and this resturaunt is my favorite Italian spot in the LA area... for the $, there is no better place in town... there specials are orignal, every dish on the menu fills you up, and if you can... try to save room for dessert. The owner Armando is a great traditional italian creator and will suprise you with his skills... Everyone from the beautiful waitress to the polite servers... this resturaunt is MOST DEFINITELY a place to dine...
Incredible menu! The risotto is unreal. Definitely worth the try and the revisit!
Best Italian in the Valley. This is my new favorite restaurant in the Valley. Their pastas are homemade and outstanding. They have wonderful specials, using the freshest ingredients of the season. And their menu is extensive enough to please everyone. In addition, everyone who works there, from the owner to the chef to the wait staff, is warm, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner.
Italian food at its best. I am compelled to write a review for La Cava after enjoying one of the best Italian meals here in LA. This restaurant really captures the essence of true Italian cooking. We ordered the specials of the day and were not dissapointed. Each dish was prepared with its own distinct flavor. The gnocchi were prepared in a light sauce with porcinis and truffles. The dish was sublime, multi-dimensional in flavor. The food is fresh and not overpowered by salt like so many LA restaurants seem to cook with lately. The desserts were just as good as the main courses. Try the creamy panna cotta. This place is a gem for lovers of Italian food. We will certainly return again.
Absolutely terrific meal! Great ambience -- a classic, small Italian restaurant. White table cloths, attentive service, traditional dishes and amazing specials. We started with a special salad -- artichoke and toasted walnuts -- which was fresh and full of flavor. I had the red snapper special -- with olives, roasted tomatoes -- perfectly grilled. My friend had the orecchiette with homemade fennel sausage. Also excellent.
Very professional service with a sense of humor and great guidance through the menu.
We're putting this on our regular rotation!
Walked in for dinner and enjoyed one of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a long time!!
I was greeted warmly and attended with a lot of attention and care by the staff.
I ordered the brocoli soup from the specials menu and a pesto gnocchi.
If o had an Italian nonna, I’m sure this is how she would have made it.
Highly recommend!! Will definitely come again.
I love looking up restaurants and trying different restaurants every time.
Also , teaching my daughter to try new things and new places. Most people usually go to same restaurant because they already been then and there is no fear of unknown. Well, I’m here to tell you guys you are all missing out on life . Trying different restaurant you get to have different experiences and try different style of everything.
It was our first time going to La Cava, and let me tell you. Its a restaurant that will stay in my memory for ever. Food is delicious, services is excellent. Everything tasted soooo delicious.
Its a restaurant I would definitely go again with a friend that hasn’t been there . Knowing they would love it too .
We were driving down Ventura Blvd looking for a place to eat and we're drawn to La Cava and the semi-enclosed patio.
Nice little place. Staff was great. Food was excelled. Met an interesting couple dining next to us.
We're definitely coming back.
Loved this place. Atmosphere and ambiance was perfect and the service was top notch. The food was amazing and they had some great desserts! Definitely will be back.
La Cava is an incredible neighborhood Italian spot. From the owner to the servers, everyone is wonderful. The prices are too high !!
Had a party of 8, and our table was ready when we arrived. Everyone was wonderful from the time we arrived till we left. The food was outstanding, served hot, and the portions were perfect sizes. Deserts were very good! I I I would recommend la cava for dinner.
The food was authentic Italian. Great service. The dessert "torta de la Nona" to die for😃
I got a little worried when I walked in because the restaurant was almost empty, but to my surprise the food was excellent. We were a party of eight so we ordered a variety of dishes and all of them were very good.
Absolutely impecable! The food is authentic and delicious. The staff just goes above and beyond. My husband ordered the risotto special, it was delicious. Definitely recommend, the place is small but worth stopping by.
