cami j.July 1, 2018i loved everything i ate and drank here. the wine flight is a fun way to get to try different things, and the spaghetti was perfect-thick, chewy noodles with a flavorful sauce. new fave LA restaurant.
LaraJuly 4, 2016The ricotta gnocchi with lamb consommé was really tasty, especially its broth. I also particularly enjoyed their chicken liver mousse crostone with the black plum jam. Overall great food.
Cheap Best HiddenJanuary 28, 2016Check to see what’s on tap. For food, the chicken Milanese sandwich with peperoncini slaw and prosciutto cotto is a revelation and is the move. Share the salad because you have to get it. Read more
Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014Pollack sticks to what he knows best: handmade pastas, sugo and rustic Italian cooking. The indoor-outdoor space completes a nice trifecta of neighborhood food options—L&E Oysters and LAMILL are close Read more
Amanda KludtNovember 3, 2014The Bagna Cauda is super fun to share. It's just a board of vegetables (raw and cooked), a soft egg, and amazing anchovy dipping sauce kept warm above a candle.
BiancaApril 3, 2022Get all the small dishes, they are amazing (broccolini, the rice cakes and crudo are a must). Salads are good too, same the pasta.
Rayshawn WilliamsMay 19, 2016I never thought I'd say lamb belly beats pork belly. Well the lamb belly here beats pork belly. So flavorful!!!
Valentina MonteAugust 5, 2017I had delicious pillowy dreams about the lamb belly, tortellini, and ricotta dumpling w consommé. 🤤
Bre MillerApril 12, 2015Food is excellent, price is right, atmosphere is blah, and between bad acoustics and the music, you can't hear a thing. 5 of 7 stars.- Jamie ThomasDecember 15, 2015The lamb belly and the pasta with pork sugo were our favorite. I might like this place better than Bestia!
- Andrei MarinescuNovember 3, 2014Chicken liver crostini is delicious, as are the macherroni and the gnóc. Also highly recommend the rice pudding.
Andre GardnerJuly 5, 2014The lamb belly dish is awesome. The richness of the belly is married to the bright, fresh flavors of its salad.
James MillicanMay 19, 2017What a delightful little restaurant. I will definitely return and try more of their food.
JenniferSeptember 29, 2015Chicken Milanese sandwich was surprisingly unpretentious for a more upscale Italian place. 👍🏼
Charlie AispuroNovember 6, 2016home style feeling Italian food made with fine dining experience. Casual and local- Jamie ThomasJuly 8, 2016The lamb belly is great! The place is small, and popular - so make a reservation.
Stephen SmytheAugust 5, 2015As funny as it sounds ..don't pass on the chicken sandwich ...its a revelation!
