Ricky SherrillAugust 29, 2016Their baked goods are a must try. Can get a little crowded in the morning.
Parking tip: if you just come for quick coffee, park on grand and pay debit. It's faster. Enjoy!! #tgif 🎉 #SharetheSilence
Winnie KhooNovember 29, 2014Faves: Macarons, Portobello Fries, Short Ribs, Duck Prosciutto Crostini, Lobster Nage,
Best darn lasagna in dtla. The portion is pretty large. You'll need a box to go.
DowntownLA.comAugust 31, 2012"Best all-around choice... The braised short ribs and burrata salad are just 2 of our fav menu items" – Rob & Janene @ www.ThisIsMyDowntown.com/Rob-Janene
Josh PDecember 28, 2012In a rush, just eat at the bar. Great service with full menu. Pizzas are fantastic. Don't forget the macaroons.
Sandra UribeJanuary 27, 2015The vainilla éclair is like a piece of heaven, and the macaroons omg, try the pralines
Matt AdlerSeptember 14, 2011Trenne pasta. It's like a mix between a delicious potroast and fine Italian cuisine. Best penne noodles I've ever had. Hands down.
Lauren-Michelle KraftJanuary 25, 2014Their grilled artichoke is easily one of the best artichoke dishes I've had in my whole life!
Mercedes McLemoreAugust 21, 2012Incredible menu - all around. Great place for a romantic date too :)
Sherry RenJuly 7, 2015Had the best macarons here. The mango flavor is a bit too strong for me. Eclair is ok, not puffy. The trenne is great if you like crispy spaghetti but they are not flavory.
The valet is now $8. Might be cheaper to park at the lot across the street.
Rick ThompsonNovember 3, 2015Absolutely amazing food. Parking sucks because it's DTLA, but it's a must try
My favorite place in Downtown. Bartenders are awesome. Try the portobello fries, macaroon cookies, and the pork chop!
- I may have said this already but its worth repeating. The lasagna. Put it in your face.
Nice kale salad with buttermilk dressing. The duck prosciutto crostini was pleasant as well.
Paul SchultzAugust 1, 2012I've stopped in for breakfast during the weekdays in the past and always have been disappointed with the service. Today I was proven wrong. Eric in the bar handled all guests like a career waiter.
Stella DancerellaAugust 9, 2011Great atmosphere, great prices, great cocktails but the food is hit or miss. However, the trenne never lets me down. Order the souffle (pictured) as you're ordering your entrees.
Earl Grey macaroons are God's way of telling us that he loves us. French onion soup is a must eat!
L.October 8, 2014It's good to have Italian style lunch here. Macarons here is as good as I had in Paris!
Go for the waffles for brunch. Try the margarita pizza and desserts. The wait time for a table is usually less than they say.
M.August 2, 2015Nice atmosphere & good quality food. U need to wait in the q but after that service was good!
Tim CurielNovember 24, 2013Porchetta sandwich: Pulled pork, caramelized onions Mmm Gud, add some Portabello Mushrooms and you've arrived IJS.
Pick up some baked goods or macarons on the way out. Tamara is an amazing pastry chef in residence, don't miss out on tasting some of her brilliance. And the packaging in the marketplace is a treat.
Jessie RMay 14, 2015Delicious pizza. Come in even if just to stare at the bakery... It's absolutely gorgeous.
Emerald TriangleMarch 3, 2012Amazing ambiance, food is divine, very proper spot. Has a New York feel. Best Italian dining experience in LA
Hizay C. De la RochaJune 20, 2015Favorite restaurant in LA, not too much expensive and delicious, very good service!
Melani DeytoJuly 22, 2011You would never think this place is great for parents with kids, but it is SO LOUD in here - it's perfect! Your kids can scream and no one will know!
Brian YuAugust 26, 2011Portobello mushroom fries are god like. The staff is patient and welcoming. A very popular place, you might want to get a place early.
New DTLA Obsession. Very NYC-esque. Eggplant paremesan was delish! Try the asparagus and egg, portobello fries for small plates.Don't forget to pick up desserts from the bakery!
The Fluff Ice™ TruckFebruary 24, 2012The Porkchops are amazing -- and yes the Portabello Fries are to die for! Don't miss out if you've never tried them!
Delicious foods and pastries. Excellent service. The only downside is the super loud music. You can't hear people sitting across from you. Saw John Lithgow here, too.
KAugust 28, 2011Excellent food, great pastries (real macarons!) and great vibe. So impressed with this place, can't wait to go back!
Tiffany VuApril 5, 2013The best macarons and they have amazing customer service! Cutest restaurant and cafe ever!!
Allison YuJanuary 7, 2016The food is okay. The portobello fries are a must try if you do sit down. The desserts are the highlight 😋
Reminds me of an NYC restaurant but with LA's swag! Great food, great ambience and great location.

"Italian cuisine properly done. Colourful assortment of dijon mustard salmon with potatoes, broccoli and red pepper. The mustard's a bit to dominant for the fish, though perfect with 'em potatoes!"
Lukas Schuchard - 8.6
"Good service. Good food. Park at meters, if you can. Right in heart of DTLA, so parking can be hard. Nice spot for a date. Kind host."
Holly W. - 8.3
"The prosciutto over fried dough and the pizzetta were outstanding. Also recommend the brussel sprouts and sea bass."
