If i could give it zero stars. I would. The waiter was rude and racist (mind you, we were all Mexican and as was he). Denied me the restroom (after I had paid a $180 meal ticket and left a $35 tip on top of that) by saying they did not have a restroom for guests, but them preceeded to walk a white female to the restroom secondo later. When I ordered two dishes, he kept repeating the price asking if I was sure I wanted both, insinuating that I could not afford the meal. They didn't offer any drinks or a drink menu to my table, but they did to every other table there. Our plates were taken from us without asking if we were finished eating, which we weren't. I was visiting for my brothers graduation and after looking up the reviews, I thought it's be a good place for a nice meal. The rude customer service and unwelcoming atmosphere ruined my night.
If you are mexican, or just any ethnicity besides white, don't bother. They will treat a hooker better than you (literally, an 80+ year old was there with his 20 years old hooker and even she got treated 100 times better than our table). I left the tip because I've worked in the service industry, but that place needs to check their employees.
NEVER going there again, and I made sure to share this information with ALL my clients, employees, and acquaintances.
Food wise, I've had better tasting food at KFC. The chicken was dry and bland and the chili looked like my son's diaper after he has a big...
Read moreI have never been treated so well. The service was simply outstanding. The owner came to our table, introduced himself, and then made sure to say good-bye on our way out the door. The host/waiter (I think his name was Roberto, but I'm horrible with names) was outstanding, remembering our names, and giving excellent recommendations. The server was polite and concise, making jokes as he delivered our food.
And oh! The food! The food blew my mind. My fiance ordered the chicken ravioli, OUTSTANDING! The sauce was perfect, the prosciutto flavorful, but not overpowering, and the ravioli were the ideal size. I ordered a chicken sausage dish and got WAY more than I expected. The portion was much larger than I thought, but I couldn't leave the leftovers (they are sitting in the fridge waiting for lunch tomorrow.) The sausage was thick and flavorful, the sauce had a bit of spice, yet wasn't spicy, the noodles were light but filling. Just, WOW. Oh, the bread: fresh, delicious, warm, bit crispy. And the Bruschetta was incredibly fresh.
Finally, dessert was their tiramisu and chocolate lava cake. I've never had tiramisu quite like this, I couldn't taste the coffee. I had it with an espresso (bit bitter) which evened it out nicely. It was smooth, creamy, with a touch of chocolate. Delicious. My fiance enjoyed the lava cake (served with ice cream) as well, but I didn't try it.
Overall, this place was outstanding. I can't wait to...
Read moreThe finest authentic Italian eatery in the heart of westwood. The place is well appointed, cozy and romantic.
The geat food selection aside, its freshness, and rapid serving made our food seculant and very tasty. Miguel and two other cooks were cooking for supper for about sixty of us on this quiet and calm Sunday.
This signature resultant is the last of thr three owned and operated by Angelo for the past thirty five years. It is a true landmark in it's own right. An icon and a "go to" for its sixty percent repeat clients.
This is "who is who" of walking distance to UCLA were the faculty members are regulars here.
Other than Mondays, they do lunch and dinner daily in a fine dining style. The prices are in line with the other top eateries within few blocks. The valet makes the parking headache none existant.
Gabriela, who attended us knew the menu inside out and her frequent stops by made our very first visit most enjoyable.
The menu is a broad selection of authentic Italian cuisine and the wine walls add an impressive array of eye catching sceneries.
As busy as this place is, it was a clock work. No waiting to sit and ten minutes for the main course to arrive. They somehow manage to host private...
