“I can speak for the pizza that it is very much an authentic pie like those from the 90s where your AYSO team would take you to for end of the season trophies. Nothing too complicated, but still excellent tasting pizza. The dough is fluffy and not cardboard tasting like your local warehouse wholesale store and not as greasy as your typical franchise pizza shops.“
“10/10Visiting from Vancouver and OH MY GOODNESSThe best food I’ve had in A WHILE!!!My recommendation:- gem salad Is so fresh, perfectly seasoned, amazing texture and so delicious it was the perfect appetizer!!!- tar tar was AMAZING. I recommend mixing it in the sauce before putting it onto the bread that is still warm when they bring it out to you, which is so good. The sauce is a little bit tangy and has a bit of spice, which is perfect and really brings out the taste of the tartar.- spicy Pomodoro pasta was so delicious. The sauce, pasta, and ricotta ratio was perfect.- sweetcorn agnolotti was also so delicious, it was sweet but not too sweet and it kind of pops in your mouth when you eat it and it was very tasty.- banana pudding tiramisu IS SOOOO DELICIOUSThe perfect texture, temperature and consistencyAnd it looks amazing as well. I wanted to get another one but honestly I had to refrain myself from getting two of everything.Highly recommend the food and dessert.Got the drinks too and it was good but didn’t stand out as much as everything else.“
“Little mini mall area where you wouldn’t expect a FANTASTIC meal! Our waiter suggested the kale salad and rigatoni, and WOW this did NOT disappoint. I am extremely picky and kale salads are not exactly my cup of tea, but this salad was INCREDIBLE. Little bit of spice, refreshing, and delicious. We also had a couple of their premium drinks that were also refreshing and worth the expensive price tag. We had the rigatoni and the tonnarelli (which we’ve had in actual Italy) for our mains and both dishes were superb-we shared :) definitely recommend this place based on the AMAZING food, the great service (love a server who suggests the best things on the menu and isn’t just saying it when it doesn’t fulfill), quick service (we never waited long for anything), and overall atmosphere. When I miss taking pictures of the food for a review because it is THAT good, that’s a good sign!“
“Incredible cheesesteak and food here. If you want an authentic Philly cheesesteak (they have wiz and LONG HOTS!!!!) - this is the spot for you. As a transplant, it’s hard finding good authentic Philly food- this place makes it possible. I love it.“
“Always an enjoyable experience. Greeted warmly, seated, ordered. Menu is something for everyone done right. Good runners always more than pleasant. Busy evening and our waitress was a busy lady. Management sent another more than capable body to relieve that jam, which was really appreciated. Good great, 3 of us shared appetizers, a delicious large steak, and the fish special. All left satisfied with leftover steak“
“Food good flavor, rich seasoningsService you have to ask for extra bread, waiters not very attentive because is to many customers for the amount of servers. Parking is validated but i didn’t know that and i had to pay. Theres no sign that parking has an assign parking garage.The atmosphere is nice.“
“We always love visiting Propaganda and this time was no different. The 4 Formaggi & Funghi is my new favorite pizza. This time we tried the boozy pandoro dessert and even 5 days later I'm still thinking of it. Can't wait to go back!“
“I came around 6pm. The place was busy. I was told wait will be 40 minutes, luckily they gave me the small table right away.I got the special Margherita, it was excellent.There are 2 Margheritas, one uses regular mazorella the other one uses fresh buffalo mazorella. I had the special one. It was glorious.“
“There is a separate dining area and a separate area for dessert. It is best to make a reservation for meals, but walk-ins are also available. It's large, spacious, and has a high ceiling, creating a very hectic and noisy atmosphere. All the food was delicious. If you just want to eat dessert, you can buy it like in the food court system and then sit down and eat it if you find a table.“
“My daughter recommended this place so we gave it a try. There was only a handful of people there… it was a Tuesday. We sat in the outdoor area. We ordered two different veggie pizzas and bread sticks (kinda pricey). There wasn’t much to choose from on the menu. The food was more like an appetizer size serving but It was delicious. I have nothing negative to say about the taste of the food or the atmosphere.However, the parking was insane. We parked directly at the curb next to the entrance of the outdoor eating area. It’s metered parking. We had to add coins every 15 minutes… it only allowed 15 minutes before it capped out ?. I’ve read others say it was an hour meter, well it wasn’t the day we visited. I set a timer on my phone (a ticket would have ruined my day).It was a nice restaurant. I experienced it once but I’m sure I won’t come again.“
“This is our fourth time here since opened. We love it and even brought some first timers. Just a couple of things, the rigatoni was not as spicy as usual, the chicken parmesan seemed a little small and $45 for corkage is a little high my feeling.“
“One of my favorite Venice spots! The food is delicious, the service outstanding. Absolutely have the ricotta crostini with the gluten free bread (trust me) and the raw Brussels sprouts salad.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options and knowledgeable staff“
“Surprise, surprise the best Tuscan sandwich in town. Their Schiacciata is superior to Antico Vinaio's and the sandwich ingredient combinations are more balanced than Tre-Mani. The Monday-Tuesday all day pasta is another great option.“
“Such a cute little wine bar in the heart of DTLA! My friend and I decided to catch up over early dinner here. We ordered the coldbrew martini and the non-alcoholic prosecco. We also shared the caesar salad, meatballs, piquillo peppers, and the margherita flatbread. Everything was delicious and tasty. We were pleased with everything we ordered. There's indoor and outdoor seating available. Our service was efficient. There is no free parking available, but we paid to park in a lot nearby.“
“This restaurant is fantastic!!!The food is always great.. full portions and reasonably priced... the Della Casa salad is our favorite.. which has both heats of palm and artichoke hearts and a wonderful light dressing... all pastas are great... we had the sea bass which was fresh and was served with veggies and potatoes. Love this restaurant and when the weather gets better the outdoor patio is fantastic.. 1/2 a block in from the beach... Excellent service and atmosphere.“
“An outstanding evening - great food, excellent, informative & fun Server (Thanks, Maria!). Nice vibe. Cozy space. Counter is fun. AND - who would have ever imagined we'd try “Orange Wine” (don't be a chicken like me - it's actually a whole new experience) ?. Really nice.“
“Barrique offers an intimate dining experience with a mix of hits and misses on the menu.The 18-month aged prosciutto and burrata appetizer delighted with its flavors, while the octopus fell short in texture. The standout dish was undeniably the beet pasta, an absolute gem that left a lasting impression. However, the ribeye main dish, though good, suffered from an abundance of fatty pieces, detracting slightly from its overall appeal.The dessert, a Panna cotta with a cherry tart topping, was a delightful conclusion to the meal, showcasing a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that left me thoroughly satisfied.The ambiance of Barrique is pleasant, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. While not every dish hit the mark, the standout offerings make it worth a visit for those seeking inventive Italian cuisine in Venice. Overall, Barrique provides a solid dining experience that still warrants a recommendation“
“During pandemic lockdown I discover Chef Funke's "American Sfoglino." I ordered the cookbook, the matterello, etc. and got to work trying to make his hand made pasta. Finally got to experience his homemade pasta last night at "Felix" in Venice, CA. It was everything we'd expected... authentic Italian pastas & pizzas, layered with regional flavors passionately prepared. Our server was fab and could answer all our menu questions with knowledge and excitement. Grazie mille!. No eye contact, no welcome greeting, no smile, no "do you have questions?" and seemingly NO interest in her job other to look nice. On the way out we noticed her giving zero customer service to every“

“Delicious evening. Many extra courses in the tasting menu, lots of extra black truffles on many dishes. Both of the servers were super knowledgeable and friendly. The table next to us was a loud couple with a dude on his phone a lot and that was the single negative part of our evening. An amazing birthday experience. Thanks, guys!“
“I brought my coworkers here a few weeks ago for a company team lunch and everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food! The portions were large and plentiful, so much so that we were super full and still had leftovers to take home. My favorite dish was the kale salad, which was surprisingly flavorful. The pizzas were also great!I contacted OSPI ahead of time to make a large party reservation, opting for the lunch time prix fixe menu. The whole process was super smooth, and they were very helpful in helping me choose appropriate dishes based on the dietary restrictions of our group (we had vegetarians and gluten free people, both of whom were accomodated).My only critique is that the food took quite a while to come out at the start. I expected it to be out sooner since we had a reservation and had ordered a fixed menu, but after being seated, we still had to wait a decent amount, so we were quite hungry. After that, the pacing of the meals could've been slightly faster, but it's understandable because of the large party servings. Otherwise, service was great.Unfortunately I was too distracted eating to take pictures! The food was delicious!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“I ordered via DoorDash and this order was ready and delivered so fast. It came hot and delicious. Highly recommend. Lots of flavor in the lasagna and the salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette was really good. Cheese bread was about what you’d expect. I’ll order this again.“
“This was a first time dining experience in Cali…I recommend the restaurant 100%! They were a busy place indeed. The staff is so friendly, and we came in with a reservation and showed early. The hostess checked in with each person waiting to be seated multiple times-you don’t see that very much in most places. A good vibe inside and the atmosphere is nice also. Even though we were early, we still did have to wait almost 15min beyond our rez to be seated but, we were delighted when they offered to bring us an appetizer because they were sorry we had to wait so long. Awesome tasting food and they serve breakfast and lunch as well daily.“
“Decent atmosphere, kinda dark and fairly loud. Food was over all good. The meatballs were good, but nothing crazy. The ricotta wip was a good addition to them and the bread was good and crispy. The mushrooms lasagna was absolutely over powered by the balsamic and wayyyy too sweet. The egg pizza was delicious from the dough to the toppings. The desserts however were best described by my friend as grocery store desserts. Tiramisu was ok, missing half a layer... Strawberry shortcake a hard pass. Neither worth it imo.“
“What a pleasant place to have lunch. The seating area was relaxing and comfortable. Of course, we came here for its pastas and weren’t disappointed. The serving size was smaller, so we ordered 4 different pastas. The lasagna was as advertised, it was excellent. All other three pastas were very good especially the agnolotti. We’ve never had it before and it was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommended. The only downside of our lunch was that it had sold out its bread. Other than that, we enjoyed our experience here very much. And the service was excellent as well.Vegetarian options: 3 out of the 4 pastas that we had were vegetarian.Parking: It’s pretty empty on the street at around 1:30 pm on a Saturday.Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids should live it’s pastas here.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but it’s on the tight side.“
“A vegan friend recommended going here and it did not disappoint. The brussels sprouts weren’t great, but I got the San Gennaro pizza and it was seriously one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, vegan or not. Nice atmosphere and I’ll definitely come back for this pizza.“
“Needed a spot for a business lunch and this wasPERFECT! (Thank you fellow Yelpers!)There was a casual elegance, but so understated.They had nice music playing to set a pleasant tone, but it wasn't intrusive. Just a really nice vibe.Fabulous attentive service, too. Never rushed, but always aware. Perfect, actually.I've spent a lot of time in Milan and northern Italy, but wasn't too familiar with many of the dishes, as the menu focuses on southern Italian cuisine. Our waiter was wonderful and his suggestions were great. Turns out his mom is the chef.:-) Which explains why everything tasted so real and remarkably delicious!We started with the Zepelotti - Fried pizza dough balls stuffed with parma prosciutto, arugula, burrata and balsamic reduction. They were like little sandwiches with a delightful combination of flavors.So very good.The pasta was cooked perfectly, fresh and al dente.All hand made. Truly remarkable and authentically Italian.The wines were quite good, too. I had the Montepulciano and my friend had the Sangiovese.We both were quite pleased.Tutto era perfetto! Grazie!Parking: Plenty of street parking“
“Came here for brunch with a large group and got the Cheeky Ri (highly recommend). Service was fast and attentive especially for a big group but most of all it was the best brunch I've had in years. Will be coming back and recommend to anyone.“
“Had a small wedding dinner here and cannot speak highly enough of the service, food and overall experience. From initial contact all the way to paying the bill, we really felt the entire team was aware of the occasion and took every chance to acknowledge and celebrate it. Definitely one of the highlights of the best day of our lives.“

“Not a particularly gastronomic area of LA, but the food, service, and atmosphere made it a worthwhile detour. They also validate parking for the garage next door, which was a plus.Parking: They now validate at the parking garage next door. Plenty of parking at dinner.“
“This place is seriously impressive. We visited whilst on holiday in the US from the UK and were doubtful we'd find good Italian food to the standard we Europeans are used to so far from the continent, but wow, we were proven wrong!Staff are lovely and the food is exceptional. We had a salad and ravioli, both of which were delectable. The gentleman we assumed was the owner/maite d' was very friendly, as were the waiters who served us. We only wish we'd found it sooner in our holiday as we'd have definitely returned. If you are anywhere near Venice, CA, pay them a visit!“
“Marco's cooking made me feel like a child again, sitting at the table with my grandparents, without time and without worries. The scent of ragù, the freshness of basil, the magic of pizza and the good heat of homemade pasta brought me back to my homeland. The lively dishes and the genuine atmosphere are a living tradition, try it to believe it! Here there is not just taste, there is a real experience that has no equal in Los Angeles. I'm happy to have found you!“
“Are you willing to work for your food? Are you willing to wait in a long line? If the answer is yes then please take the time to try Apollonia's. Their hours are strange and they are cash only in the restaurant but it's worth it.This is best thin slice pizza I have had in California. They also have incredible Detroit style slices. The pepperoni vodka slice is a must try.Very little parking.Parking: Very little parking. Small lot that is always full.“
“An authentic Italian pasta place which lives up to the hype. We came after hearing about it from the Worth it series, and was excited to try some of their featured dishes. They broke down their menu and explained how they prepared their pastas. The prices have definitely gone to the pricier side, but I would say it’s worth the quality and portion size. I would definitely recommend trying the salmon and cream dish. Very limited seating, but if you’re lucky enough to get a seat they’ll give you some great bread as well. We loved it, and it’s definitely worth a try.“
“Lots of great food options! GF pizza is cooked in the same ovens so you have to ask them to cook the pizza on a metal tray to prevent the crust from being completely contaminated, but be aware that since it's a shared oven, cross contamination will occur regardless (which is important if you have celiac or are very reactive to gluten).Dietary restrictions: Their GF crust is pretty good. Salads are generally GF too.“
“The welcoming was excellent by the manager and the flexibility to change from outdoor to indoor seating. The food was great. The steak was perfectly cooked and the octopus was tender and savory. The green beans were the exception to the excellence. They were too spicy and it tasted oddly. Manager made it right for us. Thank you!“
“Pasta Sisters is a real treat and on our list of places to dine at whenever we’re in Culver City. Our kids love it here and their pasta always comes out so good. The never ending bread service is amazing as well. Today we tried the Bottarga, Tomato and Basil topped with burrata, and the Truffle from the Not So Secret menu. We took a tiramisu to go because we were so stuffed. Afterwards we walked our pasta off at a few of the furniture stores within walking distance.“
“We've enjoyed Rossoblu, so expected good things form Superfina but took us a while to try it. The menu doesn't seem too inventive--fried calamari, little gem Caesar salad -- all the mandatory California-Italian offerings. Still, everything we had was wonderful. The calamari were perfect--so good that we barely tried a fiery red dipping sauce that accompanied it. The farro salad was a bowl of simplicity and uniqueness--the arugula, carrots and radishes were very fresh tasting with a vinaigrette that let us taste the vegetables. I had the lamb pasta while my companion had the clam pasta. We loved our own dish but would have been happy trading as well because they were both fantastic. The lamb was extremely tender, the pasta al dente and carried the flavor through and through. The service was fast and cordial, which should be expected on a early Sunday evening when the place wasn't very busy. While a little too expensive to become a frequent regular at Superfina, it is still worth a return trip or three.“
“We took our son-in-law and daughter out for his birthday. Everyone enjoyed their food very much. The only reason I didn't give five stars was that I had requested a quiet table out of the restaurant traffic, but we ended up next to the bar, in passing traffic. I have a serious hearing loss and very much wanted to enjoy the conversation. The staff is always helpful and delightful, very professional.“
“We found this place on Yelp when searching for a good brunch spot in the area. We ordered a few chef recommendations including the spicy southern fried chicken burger, peach salad (my friend), spaghetti and a few others. The burger is great and the bun is slightly crispy which is exactly I am looking for in a gourmet burger. The sauce is well balanced with a slight tanginess. I wish the side fried potatoes could be a little more though.I also ordered an Americano. Interestingly they served you a shot of espresso and let yourself add hot water to your like. Appreciate the touch.The place can get busy on a weekend. We only called 15 mins prior to our arrival without reservation, and were pleasantly surprised we had a seat once we checked in.“
“The staff were absolutely amazing! They were very knowledgeable on the menu items and made me feel special. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the experience they have. They all worked as a team to ensure the best possible service. The food was great, and the timing was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place, and if I am ever back in the area will be sure to stop!“
“Our experience at The Factory Kitchen was amazing from start to finish.We were seated immediately, and servers were very attentive, quickly refilling drinks, clearing plates, and bringing new silverware for each course. Menus are printed daily, which we thought was a nice touch to make the experience even more special. The kitchen is open, so we were able to see fresh pasta being made, prosciutto being sliced, and food being cooked.The highlights of our meal were the Prosciutto, the Gnocchi Malfatti, and the Canoli.I will be sure to come back any time I find myself in the Los Angeles area, and will advise anyone I know traveling here to visit as well.Parking: There is valet parking right beside the restaurant. It runs $12 for dinner service, and $7 for lunch. There are a limited number of spots available for valet parking.“
“A high quality spot right off the boardwalk. The pastas and steak were fantastic. The menu always has new items worth trying. The staff are friendly, know the menu inside and out, and have great suggestions. The squash blossoms are a go-to appetizer but honestly everything is good. I noticed a few customers had dietary restrictions and the staff came out with a menu marked with notes to help them order. Super nice!Vegetarian options: Can ask staff for custom orderDietary restrictions: Can order custom - they will mark the menu with what they can accommodateParking: Limited parking with free street and valet nearbyWheelchair accessibility: All one level with ramps“
“My brother, dad, and myself needed a place to hangout for a while so we could talk; and we’re so happy we chose this place. The pizza was amazing, the service was top tier (the two people there working were super personable), and the prices were reasonable. If you ever need pizza, go here.“
“Love their pasta and order delivery often but had a babysitter last weekend so we got to go to the actual space for the first time. Very lively and cozy and friendly - the staff and clientele alike. We've yet to encounter a dish we haven't loved. The papperdelle and bucatini are my favorites, and our family enjoyed the mushroom fettuccine and lamb gnocchi. The shrimp diavola and the meatballs make excellent sides/starters. All of the desserts are fantastic - pannacotta is a huge hit, tiramisu is on point and Nutella bites are a pretty unique snack-size dessert.“
“First of all, it is very attractive that you can easily make reservations from Google and Yelp. The atmosphere inside the store is very cute. The appetizer artichoke is very delicious! ! ! This had really great seasoning and the sourness of the lemon was nice. It's so delicious that I want to come back just to eat it. The risotto and lemon tiramisu was also very delicious.“
“CASH ONLY. Unless you order online on your phone in front of the guy at the counter or use the cash machine to withdraw money for a $3 fee. Both are ridiculous. Pizza was pretty good! I will go back with cash in hand some day because the food was worth it.“
“The Italian sandwiches were fresh, the bread was fresh out of the oven and still hot, excellent taste, nice ambiance, line was very long but worth the wait. Staff was efficient and the line moved along quickly. Service was good once you got to the front. Staff was friendly yet professional. And did made to order sandwiches. The best sandwiches!“
“My family and I come here pretty regularly. The food and service is always fantastic! We especially love the garlic knots, the wings and the meatballs. Pizza is incredible as well! The fettucine alfredo is REALLY delicious as well, one of the best I've ever had. One thing we were not impressed with however was the chocolate cake, so I wouldn't recommend it. But then again we don't come here for the dessert!“
“Julie is an absolute rockstar at catering! When we thought about easing people into our vegan wedding weekend we knew Italian would be an easy win with people and were so happy that Julie agreed to cater our welcome dinner! She and her team made it look easy preparing all the food and we heard so many great things about the dishes from everyone! I would not hesitate to reach out to her again for catering needs and can’t wait to eat the food again in her restaurant!“
“I think our empty plates speak for themselves cause this place is ?? I was licking my plate was so good. We had to have caught them on a slow day cause we had the whole place to ourself!! But might be for the best cause we were FEASTING and it sounded like it?. If not then this place is definitely underrated 10/10.“
