“Food was amazing! The service was bad! Very expensive but I expected to be better taken care of. They were fully staffed but no one seemed to be working efficiently. We were 8 and none of the food runners ever knew who ordered what. They had to ask on every plate they brought. Not just our table but others as well. I don’t know if they have busboys as our table was never cleared. Plates upon plate stacked up. No one asked if we wanted a second drink and the glasses were never picked up. When we ordered dessert we had to move the 16 empty drink and water glasses to one side, gather the bread plates, wipe everything down and wait for our desserts. It was a busy night but not too busy for bad service. I kinda expected more than diner service at such an expensive restaurant.“
“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!“
“Before we went, I read the reviews to find out the largest complaints and prepare for them. But actually our experience was pretty much perfect. We didn’t have to wait much at all (15 min) when we arrived at 7pm on Saturday. This was lucky. The queue very quickly filled while we waited. Some reviews said hostesses were unfriendly—not true at all for us. Others didn’t enjoy their pizza. But we ordered the Sicilian and white pizzas and loved them. They were even good after they cooled down. You should expect a hefty pizza though! It’s not a thin crust pizza. Between two people we had two pizzas and the Caesar salad. This was the perfect amount of food. We also tried two non alcoholic beverages, a wine and a beer. The beer is shockingly good and you cannot tell it has no alcohol. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. The person at the counter who took our order stood out. He was communicative, accommodating, and welcoming. This is a place I am sure we will frequent ?We left around 9:30pm and there was a long line out the door of people waiting. Reservations are recommended.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available.“
“Great place to experience some new flavor combos. Service was top notch, but for us the flavors were a little dull. Maybe a case of having too high of expectations going in, but the street corn pasta dish was very underwhelming. We wouldn’t have known what it was going for. Again, food was still delicious, maybe worth another shot to try the rest of the menu.“
“The menu at Bestia features a tantalizing array of modern Italian dishes, expertly crafted with locally sourced ingredients and innovative techniques. From house-made pastas and wood-fired pizzas to savory meats and seafood, every dish is a culinary masterpiece bursting with bold flavors and artistic presentation.“
“We were warmly greeted upon arrival. They serve delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. You must give it a try. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere. They play light music in the background. The dishes are flavorful. The waiter was attentive. The owner checked in with us and thanked us for eating at his restaurant. I will definitely be back to try other dishes.Parking: The restaurant has parking in the back and there's also free street parking.“
“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.“
“The food was absolutely perfect. We went for lunch, and brought a two year old. They brought delicious garlic bread to the table, of which the two year old ate three huge pieces before we had even ordered. We ended up ordering off the regular menu instead of the lunch menu. I had the clams with linguine in a white wine sauce. And a house salad with the dressing on the side. My mother had the world famous lasagna. Everything was Totally delicious. The service was charming and friendly. The walls are covered in posters and photographs of mafia movies. The wall that surrounds the kitchen is lined with Chianti bottles. We took a slice of the house made tiramisu home with us because the two year old had exhausted her restaurant charm, and was ready to go. We happily split the tiramisu three ways. What a lovely lunch.“
“This restaurant is tucked away from the busy part of Little Tokyo. We walked in at 6:30pm on a Thursday and were seated immediately. We came here for the famous uni pasta and mentai japanese cream pasta. Both were creamy, rich, and filled with umami. The mentai japanese cream one was slightly more fishy than the uni one. Can we talk about the portion sizes? Each plate of pasta was huge! Great value for the price.All pastas come with complementary sad and bread. Save some of the bread to soak up all the pasta sauce!“
“Was craving for a good italian sub and found this hidden gem near my work! Located across from the hospital. Parking was easy; street and parking lot behind the restaurant. Inside was filled with Italian goodies. They sold alcohol, cookies, bread, pasta, cheese, etc. Towards the back of the restaurant was tables to sit down and enjoy your sandwich. Came here for the 1st time with my coworker and we tried the Classic 6' sub with 2 sides. I got the macaroni salad and broccoli salad. The sides tasted ok to me but could be better. However, the sandwich was very tasty. I love how much meat and filling it was. I ate it all! We got a piece of tiramisu and that was very very good! The prices are affordable and the portions are huge. Definitely a place to go for lunch or anytime you are carving for a good Italian sandwich! *TIP: call to place your order if you are in a time crunch. We waited for 30 minutes for our food.“
“A cozy, romantic atmosphere, my family and I had a full table to seat us all.Learning about the menu from our server, we all found exactly what we were craving. Even learned the ingredients used to make our dish. Which was amazing, top-notch services.With our order, we all got some soup or salad. The lasagna I ordered was um um umm. My family all were happy with we order and full ready to enjoy our night.Taking home a large pizza for home.“
“First time here and I have to say, it’s pretty darn good!!! The antipasto salad was loaded with meat and cheese. The garlic bread is very tasty. I had the Chicken Marsala….. It was very good! Everyone was very pleased with their food. Looking forward to trying the pizza next, it looked delicious!!Parking: They have a small parking lot but we had no trouble finding a spot.Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t love spaghetti, pasta and pizza??!! Bring them, they will love it!“
“On Friday 08 Mar, Bryan greeted me and my family with open arms and with a big Kool-Aid smile. ?Bryan was very informative of all the wines (Sweet n Dry), he pointed out a sweet wine from Portugal, of which they were promoting at the front entrance. My family and I were pleased with his recommendation because the following day at our baby shower everyone loved it.Bryan congratulated me and my family of our beautiful blessing, because my pregnant fiancé was with me that day.That morning we picked up my fiancé sister from LAX and we decided to stop by for breakfast. And it was a pleasant experience because the breakfast staff greeted us with a smile… a special shout out to Martín! Because he made sure we had everything at our table in a timely manner, and most importantly checked up on us throughout our meal.Funny thing is, when we arrived I really didn’t pay attention to his name tag until after we ate, and we started gathering bottles for the baby shower.It was then I realize… That’s the name my fiancé and I agreed to name our son… Bryan.Once I told Bryan he was very happy for us and bagged our bottles to go.Oh by the way, the breakfast was delicious, we order steak and eggs, French, toast, and eggs, and chicken strips and fries for the kids.“
“One of the best Italian restaurant. One of Orange County’s hidden gem. Delicious Italian food, Good service and beautiful restaurant. We love it!!! I highly recommend them. My favorites are their bread, fettuccini Alfredo and best spaghetti bolognese . They also give you generous proportion. Really must try!!!Vegetarian options: There’s vegetarian choicesKid-friendliness: Kids will love the food“
“Super friendly employees. I had a big order for my husbands birthday and it was ready really quickly. We had a XL pepperoni and my family loved how fluffy the crust was and how cheese it was. We also had the potatoes and some wings. Potatoes weren't too crispy nor soggy. They were made perfect for little kids. The wings were crispy and had a lot of sauce so they weren't dry. Highly recommend this place.“
“SOLID pasta. Had the parpadelle vodka on my most recent visit but had others in the past and they were all great. I wouldn't mind if the prosciutto with the parpadelle wasnt crispy.The tables are quite small and you have to be ok with dining close quarters. Service was adequate and friendly. Wish they had a couple beers on tap but didnt take away much from the dining experience“
“I host a dinner for 17 And was extremely happy with the food and how well we were taking care of. Leonard and his team did an outstanding job. Even though we ordered off the menu all at the same time our food arrived promptly. The last person was served only a few minutes after the first person. Ricci's has been of one of her favourite Italian restaurants for many years. Their prices saw both food and wine are very reasonable. There's plenty of free parking in the back.“
“The food at Brera makes your taste buds sing! I know it's corny, but it's true. Their green salad has this light dressing that is so refreshing. The prosciutto pizza was to die for. My boyfriend had the Papatelle and I had the Nettle Pasta with walnut. We walked out full with smiles in our face. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. It was outstanding!! Oh, and the drinks are strong and good!“
“Great little pizza place with fast lunch service. Pizza was good, price was right, and the store is clean. They accidentally overcharged me by $0.50, which they realized when they gave me my slices, and immediately offered a cash refund. No need since they deserved that as additional tip.“
“So so glad I got around to trying this place out, the pastas are SO GOOD!! We tried the mentaiko and the squid ink pasta - the flavor profile for both was perfect and the noodles were cooked al dente! The portion size was just right too. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu“
“Upon seeing the monstrous wood fired oven, you know you are in for a serious pizza. We had proscuito and calebrese on one pizza we ordered. Tremendous. Beautiful color, chew and char on a crust that proofs for 36 hours. Thin enough to fold, but sturdy enough to hold up the toppings. So much flavor comes through from the fire and smoke of the oven. You can tell the dude man who was running the front of the house has serious love for the place. Very sincere, very authentic. This is not a whatever pizza joint. Its one of those restaraunts that is more than the sum of its parts. This place has vision and heart and you see it, feel it and taste it.“
“AWESOME PIZZA!!!I'm blown away by the quality of your pizza. I ordered the Medium Veggie and boy was I blown away by the quality of the pizza. To start with the dough is hand spun, making it nice and fluffy but not doughy like many others. Crust and undercarriage was crispy not greasy and cooked perfectly. The sauce was perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Plenty of vegetables and perfectly balanced cheese. If you are looking for a great pizza this is definitely the place. I am a tough person to satisfy when it comes to pizza but this place gets two thumbs up! I'll definitely be back. Also the service is friendly. This place is a hidden gem, so many small pizza places are dissappearing because people settle for cheap, disgusting pizza. I am happy to discover this place! Keep up the great job! Good luck!“

“Tucked away in the back corner of a strip mall in Hacienda Heights. This neighborhood gem Italian deli doesn't occupy a large space, but the space feels really efficient with a full service deli on one side and the other side having a place to order sandwiches/ prepared Italian foods with an area to sit. Like most Italian delis I've been to, this place sells a decent variety of market/ dry goods well. The prices here for the foods/ goods are more than reasonable and the overall place has that old school feel or at least the feel that this place has been here for quite a while. Came here on a rec from a coworker. Not sure if I was super hungry at the time, but I walked in greeted by friendly people and delicious smells coming from their hot dishes/ pastas. I ordered the Italian Grinder Sandwich (6 inch or regular size). Again, not sure if I was just particularly hungry at the time, but this sandwich was so fricken great. It had the classic Italian sub flavor profile and I though the bread they used was fantastic. Nice, soft and chewy with a nice firmness/crunch on the outside. The sandwich was more than enough. I actually was really tempted to buy some of the prepared pasta dishes to go for dinner (lasagna or baked rigatoni). Definitely would love to comeback to try some of my other classic fave sandwiches like chicken or eggplant parm. Or their Tuesday Guido sandwich special or pastrami sandwich. Parking was really easy to find because there is a pretty sizable lot relative to the traffic this place gets during the day.“
“Walked by it for years and only recently tried it. So good. Had a special of white asparagus soup which was delicious. I had their strip which was well prepared. Our server was lovely and great at directing us. Lovely little. Spot. Reservations are strongly recommended.“
“RCP FTW! Brian is the most down to earth pizza shop owner you will meet. His crew's creation for different pizzas are limitless. Stay for the pie while you browse around at their artwork on the walls from local artists.Parking: Lots of parking“
“We love the food and the couple that owns the restaurant. They are friendly hard working people.Parking: The parking is in the back. They have about 3 or 4 spots available. But there is free street parking in the front and a free parking lot that is walking distance with plenty of parking spots available usually.Kid-friendliness: They are kid and family friendly. Our kids love the farfalle pasta, and our waitress.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp from the parking lot to the restaurant, great for wheelchairs and strollers. They have enough space in the restaurant to fit with a stroller without being an inconvenience to others.“
“A small family owned Italian restaurant that serves great food. Our waitress was also great, very attentive and friendly. If your in Whittier, this should be one of your go to restaurants. If your in the area, stop on by, you wont be disappointed.“
“We were a party of 9 and we were accommodated. Everyone loved their food. The flavors are on point. The cappuccino is delicious and a bit strong, perfect for the coffee lovers. The portions are good and the prices are more than reasonable. I recommend the Pollo de Funghi, the Fettuccine Ragú Boloñesa, the Rib Eye Steak, the pizzas and their Cappuccino definitely be back.“
“Gluten-free folks...go, run, get yourself an awesome pizza! My husband and I each got a pizza and we were both impressed with quality of crust and quantity of toppings. We will definitely order from them again while in L.A.!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free crust available“
“Very good food. I had the eggplant Parmesan, and it did not disappoint. It was very good and I would order it again. The side salad was excellent; very tasty and flavorful. The garlic cheese bread was excellent, fresh and warm. My buddy had the meatball spaghetti and he said it was very good. I ordered medium cheese pizza to take home; fresh and delicious. Also, the size was more like an extra large and a medium. And dessert was very good, I got the ice cream. The average plate is about $20 but it’s worth it. I would definitely go back for another meal.Parking: Free parking, but not a lot of parking spaces.“
“Delicious pizza served at the old Whittier post office. There are non-pizza options available as well. Friendly staff are very helpful. The only downside was not seeing more about the building's previous function. That would be a great addition for out of town visitors. I will definitely be returning when I am in town next!“
“This place is amazing the sandwiches are delicious. “I love the chicken Parmesan sandwich personally “. The cannolis are great, Wine prices are reasonable and really good selection,. The customer service is outstanding, all the individuals are very sweet and kind. I Highly recommend this hidden gem, The food is a true Italian experience.“
“Olive Garden is one of my favorite spots when I'm craving Italian food, especially for their all-you-can-eat salad, which is the best part, in my opinion. This location tends to get very busy during peak hours, so coming earlier is advisable. Making a reservation can also make your experience smoother. I definitely recommend it.“
“Garlic bread is a must!Service is slow but the staff is super nice. They are very chill when serving tables. It's a good place to go if you're not in a rush and just want relax and enjoy your conversation with friends.Food is 4 star overall.“
“Tony's has been a top sandwich spot for me. I don't usually eat sandwiches, but when I do, this place is the best. My top favorite sandwich is the pastrami with avocado. The Mexican tuna sandwich is excellent also. You can't go wrong with a sandwich from Tony's. The area is okay. There's plenty of parking in the back lot and street parking.“
“Our dining experience at this Italian restaurant was nothing short of exquisite. Every plate we ordered delivered a burst of delightful flavors, from the heavenly pizza to the savory lasagna. The culinary expertise showcased in each dish truly made it a taste of heaven.Not only did the food impress, but the restaurant itself was impeccably clean, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, adding a personal touch to our visit. Their hospitality enhanced the overall enjoyment of our meal.We will be returning soon!“
“I have to tell this story .God was in the Midst.I was feeling depressed.I decided to take a bus ride to Lynnwood .When I got on the bus I sat next to a distinguished Gentlemen .He placed an order on the phone.He ordered LinguineFried Artichokes,Italian Sausage with Onions,Green Peppers with Marinara Sauce.Itcwas cooked in Olive Oil.I had 25.00 and I decided I was taking myself on a bus ride to cheer me up.I was looking for an Italian Restaurant.I asked the Gentleman where he was ordering his food.The restaurant was at the last stop.He was so nice.Mice people can be hard to find in Cali.When I walked into the family owned restaurant.What I loved most was a picture ofmy favorite singer Frank Sinatra autographed.It brought back memories as an eleven year old being on the set of Ocean Eleven. My Uncle Olon Godare a Understudy for Sammy Davis Jr.after he lost his eye in a car accident.I helped stack the money up in the back of the armored truck.The food was excellent.I felt like I was in Italy.Tge service was impeccable.The atmosphere was full of yuppies and was so conservative and I kept thinking at one point.This Restaurant should be in Beverly Hills.The food was to die for.They gave me so much food ,I ate it for 3 days.I have not stopped thinking about this restaurant for 3 years .As of Saturday.M6 daughter and my grandson and I are going there..PLEASE MAKE THIS RESTAURANT A REGUKAR PLACE.it lifted my spirits ,brought back good memories .Uncle Frank and Uncle Sammy and Uncle dino,and Uncle Peter and Uncle Joey RIP.Thanks for yoir superior restaurant.This will not be my last time .So for all of you reading this post.Put his place on your bucket list.I can still feel the Spiritual uplift.This restaurant was good for my soul and spirit.Thanks La Pasta.Dietary restrictions: They have Chef specials .I just called and told them I wanted Artichokes Linguine Italian sausage with Green peppers and onions cooked with Olive Oil with marinara sauce.The Chefs is cooking it on Saturday .The customer was 20.00 and it is worth it.“
“Good pizza! I like the cheese and the crust. Solid on the toppings too. I used to love getting their oven baked wings because they are good, but since they increased the price, the value doesn't match the extra cost. Service is hit or miss. Sometimes it's great, and other times, it seems like they'd rather be somewhere else.“
“I have been a customer of Follieros since it was a smaller establishment down the street. (Like since 1975?) Some of it may be nostalgia for me, but I love everything about this place. The pizza has just the right texture and a tiny hint of sweetness to the dough. Sauce is amazing and love thier pepperoni and great mozzarella cheese. My hubby always gets lasagna and it is also awesome. Can't beat the prices, too. Lasagna is only $10.50 WHAT? We eat here for two of us around $30 including the tip... and it's quality food. If I lived closer, I'd eat here every day. Maybe its a good thing for me, I don't live closer, so I dont gain too much weight...??lol... oh and by the way if you go, order a Strawberry..(soda) a tradition and I can't eat here without it.Parking: This area has a lot in the back, but it seems like it's usually full. Sometimes have to circle to find a street parking.“
“Excellence in every way. Service was fast and friendly. Food was fresh and delicious. We sat outside enjoying the summer heat but with a breeze and it just somehow complimented the meal in itself. Excellent visit. The fettuccine chicken Alfredo was just delicious. Ordered a Caprese salad as an appetizer and it just set the right vibe. Good food can change your mood. Deliciouso but in an Italian accent. Enjoy.“
“My husband was staying at usc hospital and me and my son would pass by everyday to go to our hotel and one day we stopped and ate an early dinner. The service was exceptional and everyone was really nice and attentive. The Mac and cheese bites were my favorite appetizer!! So good. The pizza I had was really good and my son said his pasta was good. The older gentleman with the accent was really sweet. Under the circumstances that we found this place wasn’t great, but glad we could sit and enjoy a great meal at a great place and people. Thank you!“
“The food here is great- spinach ravioli with pink sauce, a side salad, and garlic bread hit the spot for real, served by people who really care, and enjoy the food as much as you do. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much. The environment is lovely and it's small, but warm, which is often times hard to do. Finding good Italian that is high quality and not too expensive is a feat, but Genoveses does the job.“
“My family & I used to come here every so often throughout the years when I was a kid. I’ve also been here, here & there as an adult but hadn’t been here in years since I don’t live near the area anymore. Anyway, recently I had their Di Pilla’s Special Pizza & it was still pretty good like it was years ago but a little different than before?. I’ve also had their Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken & their simple fresh baked bread as well as their Lasagna in the past which were all really good?. This is a family owned restaurant that’s been around for years & passed on generation after generation.“
“If your a dave portnoy fan then this is the spot for ya. If you truly want a ny style pie..only talking about a cheese pie. As I don't care for toppings. They got that wood fire oven..can't say anything other than quality is the best I've had. Price was relatively low 15$ for a large og cheese. (Comes with 8 large slices)This is the spot if you need that crust and prefer thin crust style. Hands down best go to pizza spot in the sgv. Must tryIf you like chain pizza then idk what to yell you, this pizza is different.“
“Came here yesterday for happy hour with friends. Place is a hidden gem... Plenty of seats available, televisions to watch games, mixed music selection. They have a pool table and karaoke room. Plenty of drinks options or bartender was awesome. The asada fries, garlic fries, wings and Brussel sprouts were delicious. Will be back...“
“Had been trying to make it out here for months but it was a bit of a trek from the westside... finally did it yesterday. In short - totally worth it.Food first:The Pasta Al Limone was delicious. Creamy and lemon forward sauce generously portioned over house cut noodles. Recommend.The Vodka Rigatoni was a standout as well. Could really taste the parmesan after each bite. Again, house made rigatoni. Probably my favorite part of the meal.The Guanciale was also great. They mentioned the boar is slow cooked for 14 hours and the texture proves it.Beyond just the food, Barrio is a great place for a meal. Really feels like a neighborhood anchor in City Terrace, and the owner Carlos is a great and friendly host. He helped walk us through the menu - it is clear he intentionally sources ingredients locally. We ended up chatting for a while about his story, the neighborhood, and more.In summary, Barrio is an awesome spot, affordably priced, great atmosphere, and has the sort of "if you know, you know" feeling that will bring me back.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Heart and Flame and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! I ordered the cheese wheel and was blown away by the presentation. The dish was not only delicious but also visually stunning. The cheese was perfectly melted and the accompaniments were thoughtfully chosen and complimented the cheese perfectly.What really made the experience even better was the exceptional service I received from Chelsea. She was attentive, friendly and made sure my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. She provided great recommendations and made sure I felt comfortable throughout my meal.Overall, Heart and Flame is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a great dining experience. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu!“
“La mejor pizza que e comido echa con masa madre , salsa orgánica ,ingredientes frescos , sus pizzas de la casa las recomiendo como la mexicana , pollo en chipotle , carne azada , la peruana , la hondureña, salvadoreña y las tradicionales , lugar familiar y muy l“
“Our family had a great experience today, Easter. Our food and our service were great! Richard, our server, was friendly, attentive, professional and just on top of it! Eating here was even better because of his service. He took our order correctly (no notes) and checked up on us several times to determine if we had a needs. Richard is a natural at his profession, and Olive Garden should we proud to have such a stellar employee that despite how hectic and busy the restaurant was he never made us feel unwelcome. He ensured we had a wonderful meal, thank you Richard!“
“Dont visit as often as i should.A friend brought some over to watch the game .The pizza was good a little greasy if thats the way you like it.The ingrediants were fresh.The cheese wasnt exactly stringy snd stretchy but when i let it kool down it tasted better.Ty Falcones be back “
