Winnie KhooNovember 29, 2014Faves: Macarons, Portobello Fries, Short Ribs, Duck Prosciutto Crostini, Lobster Nage,
Gail HJune 1, 2014You can just go with the small plates and be happy. Brussel sprouts, crab beignets, bruschetta...
Josh PDecember 28, 2012In a rush, just eat at the bar. Great service with full menu. Pizzas are fantastic. Don't forget the macaroons.
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
Sandra UribeJanuary 27, 2015The vainilla éclair is like a piece of heaven, and the macaroons omg, try the pralines
Best darn lasagna in dtla. The portion is pretty large. You'll need a box to go.
The valet is now $8. Might be cheaper to park at the lot across the street.
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.
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.
Rick ThompsonNovember 3, 2015Absolutely amazing food. Parking sucks because it's DTLA, but it's a must try
Lauren-Michelle KraftJanuary 25, 2014Their grilled artichoke is easily one of the best artichoke dishes I've had in my whole life!
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.
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!
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.
M.August 2, 2015Nice atmosphere & good quality food. U need to wait in the q but after that service was good!
L.October 8, 2014It's good to have Italian style lunch here. Macarons here is as good as I had in Paris!
Nice kale salad with buttermilk dressing. The duck prosciutto crostini was pleasant as well.
Go for the waffles for brunch. Try the margarita pizza and desserts. The wait time for a table is usually less than they say.
Tim CurielNovember 24, 2013Porchetta sandwich: Pulled pork, caramelized onions Mmm Gud, add some Portabello Mushrooms and you've arrived IJS.
Jessie RMay 14, 2015Delicious pizza. Come in even if just to stare at the bakery... It's absolutely gorgeous.
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.
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!
Emerald TriangleMarch 3, 2012Amazing ambiance, food is divine, very proper spot. Has a New York feel. Best Italian dining experience in LA
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!
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.
Tiffany VuApril 5, 2013The best macarons and they have amazing customer service! Cutest restaurant and cafe ever!!
Reminds me of an NYC restaurant but with LA's swag! Great food, great ambience and great location.
Sharon WidjajaJanuary 12, 2013Love their pastries n pretty much everything here looks good. A little too loud for my taste though. Otherwise, a great place.
