The Mozzarella Salad & Lentil Soup is a MUST on my visit. Dishes overall are tasty, great customer service, & family friendly. One of my fave Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. #DineSavorRepeat
John BarrónJanuary 29, 2012Pizza rosa is to die for. Greek salad is amazing. Garlic bread is phenomenal. Pasta?? ask for rigatoni with Tony's sauce (pink sauce with green onions and mushrooms). Finally the tiramisu was heavenly
Steve KrohnJuly 19, 2013So I was with a group of maybe 30 people. Their service was excellent. I ordered Salmon in a white wine sauce with mushrooms and capers. Delicious! Their tiramisu was good.
WhitneyMay 21, 2014The people that run the place are so amazing I can't say enough. They gave us an extra serving of the pizzarosa as a starter, along with a round of dessert, all on the house!
Ceci EspinosaMay 4, 2015I came with a Sicilian girl and she approves de pizza rossa and the Sicilian one. To me, a mexican girl they taste awesome! We had a medium sized one for 3 persons.
Kristen MarketteMarch 29, 2015Very nice people & good service. But pasta honestly tasted like chef boyardee to us. We weren't expecting upscale Italian but will eat pasta at home next time. May come for garlic bread & wine tho!
Love their Chicken Cacciatore, the best in the city? Not to mention the Spumoni & Cannoli, YUM! Sometimes they play Italian folk songs, like being in Palermo :D sometimes Chianti with my meal :D
Offbeat L.A.January 29, 2016Italian-American food. Originally opened in 1976 on Hillhurst Ave. Burgundy leather booths, old school feel. In this location since 1979.
Jathan McCollumDecember 5, 2014Legit, family style Italian restaurant. HUGE portions. Garlic bread with every dish. Eata, eata, getta bigga fat!!
Juliana OJanuary 12, 2014Excellent authentic Italian fare. Cute little restaurant; great for family dinners. Live accordeon player who sings to each table. It's a fun time.
Jim LasotaApril 1, 2018Fantastic made anyway you want. Super thin crust!! Ask for fresh garlic or cappocola even though it’s not on the menu! Great!!!
Always a winner in food, atmosphere, service, and the family that runs the joint. You have to go. You'll feel like a kid again.- Combat CriticJanuary 23, 2014Tony is an old friend and I was one of his ORIGINAL customers when they were over on Hillhurst. The place is a Hollywood landmark with photos of stars all over the walls, including CombatCritic! Read more
Kristin HingstmanJuly 12, 2012It's not East Coast pizza, but my brother still liked it. Ask for Bruce. He sang as he delivered everything. Great atmosphere. They treated us like regulars.
Jenn CervellaSeptember 19, 2011The gnocchi is fantastic and try the irony Pinot noir. I like the cozy atmosphere. The service was on point but not overbearing.
Brandon HoangOctober 2, 2015I've never been to a restaurant that actually treats you like family every time you step in the door.
Nino Special, house carafe red, perfection!!!!! Also when cops eat somewhere you know it's legit awesome.- The Nino Special beats anything that Casa Bianca has to offer. Free slice of pizzarossa when you sit down! Skylight books is like a block down. Yay :)
Mujeb AlmerriJanuary 10, 2014Try the pasta penni and routelli mixed with pink sauce and chicken yumme yumme
Best veggie dinner for 4: Large Caesar - light dressing, medium Nino's Special pizza and carafe of the house white. Super cheap and super yum.
Lizette RodriguezOctober 26, 2012Amazing Service! The half size dishes are still a good size and you will most likely get full.
Ritchie L AMarch 23, 2010OK, the food is not fantastic, but you go here for the scene, the great staff and the crowd watching. Where else do you get LAPD, trannys, leather daddies, str8 couples with a gaggle of kids and the r
Natalie FMay 22, 2012Reasonably priced traditional Italian food and open late. Pizza Rosa is the bomb!
Matt ConradMay 25, 2010Great neighborhood restaurant. Food pretty good, ambiance fantastic, and their goat cheese pizza and garlic bread appetizers are delicious.
- Beth FisherJanuary 22, 2012Pizza Rosa is the best pizza in the world. Sign up for the infrequent wine tastings.
WINE SPECIAL! Take home any marked bottle and get 2nd bottle for only $1.... Amazing!
ZAugust 22, 2011Servings are huge! You can easily split the "small" plate among two. P.S. It's closed Tuesdays.- Alejandra GuzmanJuly 18, 20101st time here for breakfast,I will come again Tony has out done himself! Great food all the way around anytime of day
Cris CisnerosNovember 9, 2013Pepperoni pizza is insanely delicious. Antipasto salad was way too salty, I'd skip that..- The pizzarosa is awesome..my fav is the shrimp alla becky...
Claribelle CainghugMarch 24, 2010Great Pizza Rosa, no seriously, add a carafe of your favorite color of vino and find your tummy extra happy.
- Valet parking in the back if you're feeling lazy and free on weeknights, just tip.
