    Silver Lake’s gem Alimento is known for many things (chicken liver, a fried chicken sandwich) but you’d be hard-pressed to find a single table foregoing their take on a traditional totellini en brodo. Read more

    i 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.

    While occasionally tough to nab tables, the casual vibe makes it easy to slip in any night of the week and feast on expert-level pasta, near-perfect small plates, and robust, shareable large plates. Read more

    The 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.

    Check 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

    Pollack 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

    The 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.

    Get all the small dishes, they are amazing (broccolini, the rice cakes and crudo are a must). Salads are good too, same the pasta.

    I never thought I'd say lamb belly beats pork belly. Well the lamb belly here beats pork belly. So flavorful!!!

    My favorite restaurant in LA. The tortellini in brodo is one of the BEST pasta dishes I've had in my entire life. No joke. The octopus dish is unreal as well. Read more

    Food 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.

    Chicken liver crostini is delicious, as are the macherroni and the gnóc. Also highly recommend the rice pudding.

    The lamb belly and the pasta with pork sugo were our favorite. I might like this place better than Bestia!

    The lamb belly is great! The place is small, and popular - so make a reservation.

    Chicken Milanese sandwich was surprisingly unpretentious for a more upscale Italian place. 👍🏼

    The lamb belly dish is awesome. The richness of the belly is married to the bright, fresh flavors of its salad.

    The pastas are incredible. The place is not particularly loud, but cacophonous.
