1. Pomodoro Trattoria
Okay, so we went to this place for dinner because it was near a friend's house, and I was craving some Italian food. We are seated, and then a minute later are asked to move tables because a reservation specifically asked for ours. Okay, whatever.…More »
2. Pisticci
Pisticci is a hidden gem in Morningside Heights. As Joshua B. states, the restaurant has food as great as Max SoHa but is less cramped. Great atmosphere, too. Try the polenta side dish - it's nice and creamy with provolone cheese. Things as…More »
3. Amici
Summary: Good food, mediocre environment.
We had plans to catch a show at the Troubadour, and stopped at Amici for dinner first, since it's pretty much across the street (ground floor of the Beverly Terrace hotel).
It was still light when we came for…More »
4. C & O Trattoria
I came here with my husband after hearing about this place from a lot of friends. There's a moderately priced valet, but we found some on-street parking a block or two away which worked out just fine.
The place itself is huge. We sat in the indoor…More »
5. 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria
Los Angeles, CA 90024
(424) 239-5010
After one failed attempt at trying 800 degrees (we didn't feel like waiting in line), I came here with a colleague when we were in Westwood. We came around 2:30pm, so the lunch crowd was pretty much cleared out and we were able to order right away.…More »
6. Fraiche
Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 839-6800
Categories:
Italian,
French,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Culver City
Took my fiance here on a date. We made a reservation for 8:30 and got there around 8:20/8:25. The hostess said that the table wasn't ready yet but would be soon and told us to wait at the bar. The bar area's small and kind of tight, so we opted…More »
7. Fritto Misto
I came here for lunch with a friend and her two-year-old daughter. My friend had recommended the place (as well as their next door neighbor, Ninjin) and I thought "why the heck not."
There was a good amount of people around noon when we arrived but…More »
8. Scarpetta
I came here with a slightly odd combination of diners - my husband, his parents, and my cousin and his girlfriend. Yet between the food and ambiance, I had a great time.
One of my complaints during my time living in Toronto was that there wasn't much…More »
9. Max Soha
New York, NY 10027
(212) 531-2221
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: Morningside Heights
The food here is pretty wonderful. I personally like the penne with fresh mozzarella and eggplant - the eggplant is always cooked really well and never too bitter. The gnocci is also gorgeous - light and fluffy - but they sometimes run out. The…More »
10. Joe's Pizza
Best pizza I've had in LA. Period. If it weren't for the warm weather and Uggs with hot pants strolling around the sidewalk I might have even done a double take and thought I was back in NY.
The pizza is the way it should be. Ordered a slice of…More »
11. Postino Arcadia
Ooh la la! I came here for a quick bite before getting on a plane. The atmosphere is really cool - nice outdoor seating area, high tables, low tables, and a couple of booths tucked away. The service was also very pleasant, with the waitress both…More »
12. Osteria Mozza
Went back again last night, this time with 3 friends for the Amaro Bar Menu. The food was just as good as last time... however, we learned that it's not a good idea to go in a group of 4.
We got there around 8:30 and the hostess said that it can be…More »

13. Pitfire Pizza Company
Los Angeles, CA 90035
(310) 481-9860
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
A solid 3.5 on this place but I'll be nice and round up... mainly because I like the interior.
I came here to get an order to go - burrata pizza, another pizza with meat, and the seasonal pumpkin pizza. There were some parking spaces, but parking…More »
14. Lamonica's New York Pizza
One of my neighbors ordered delivery from here and we were walking our dogs when the delivery guy showed up. J and I were amused by the guy's shirt which noted that their pizza dough was from Brooklyn, so the next time we wanted pizza we ordered…More »
15. Milo and Olive
Santa Monica, CA 90403
(310) 453-6776
We did curbside pick-up from Milo & Olive after hearing good reviews from friends and not having the patience to stand outside 800 degrees. It was about 30 minutes from call in to pick up. We ordered 2 pizzas - the anchovy one and the butternut…More »
16. Pizzeria Mozza
Last time I went to Pizzeria Mozza we had no reservation. So waiting an hour plus for a seat at the bar seemed acceptable. That's our bad, so no complaints.
This time, however, we booked a table a month in advance for J's birthday. We were going…More »

mmm mmm good.
I need to learn that reservations are necessary at Batali restaurants. Yes, you can… Read more »
17. The Old Spaghetti Factory
I hadn't been to an Old Spaghetti Factory before moving out here, but now I'm a fan. Although the standard "meal" includes iced tea/coffee and spumoni, in addition to the soup/salad, you can order a smaller meal that just includes the entree and…More »
18. Dagwoods Pizza
Santa Monica, CA 90401
(310) 899-3030
If you're looking for a decent pie, come here. They claim to be New York Pizza, but trust me, it isn't. It's a little less generic than Papa John's, but if you told me that it was a 50 chain pizzeria (which it isn't) I wouldn't be surprised. The…More »
19. Enoteca San Marco - CLOSED
We decided to eat at a Batali restaurant in Vegas after trying both Mozzas in LA and Otto in NY. Though we thought the food was good, it doesn't hold a candle to the Mozza duo.
We tried 2 items off the fritti menu - I got the gnoccho (fried pizza…More »
20. Prizzi's Piazza - CLOSED
Los Angeles, CA 90068
(323) 467-0168
3 stars for food, 1 star for service.
We were going to a show at the Upright Citizens Brigade and had about 3 hours to kill in the area. Why not have a leisurely dinner at a place where the smell of garlic was wafting from the patio as we awaited the…More »
21. Romano's Macaroni Grill
If only they had vegetarian options. They get two stars because the service was very friendly... but I found out when ordering that none of the sauces were vegetarian - they all have meat or chicken stock. Who does that nowadays? Had I not been…More »
22. Ameci Pizza & Pasta
It's Sunday evening. Laundry's in the dryer, the apartment has been cleaned, and getting myself to cook at this point seems impossible. Like any real New Yorker, the solution is to order a pizza and chill. So I call my go-to delivery place, Ameci.…More »

This is my go-to pizza place in LA. In New York it would get 2-3 stars, but for what it is out here… Read more »
