Judy Tamaki-MowattSeptember 16, 2016Beautiful confectioneries, pastries, and staff are all very friendly and speak professionally. It's a piece of heaven in the middle of DTLA.
Ron TippmanJune 25, 2012Their hand tossed pizza is amazing. We sat in the back next to the pizza making which is a really cool area to sit.. Loved there pastas also.
JewelMintMarch 23, 2011A great downtown restaurant with high ceilings and a beautiful large dining room—it used to be an old bank and the space is as gorgeous as the food is delicious. - Kate Bosworth
Haleema HumaidSeptember 14, 2014Best brunch downtown 👍 desserts are TDF pizzas are made in front of you
Crab beignets are new to the menu! Soooo scrumptious! Try pairing with the kale sprouts and even truffle mashed potatoes!
Lina A.May 31, 2015Extremely elegant place and food. Burrata pizza for main and chocolate souffle for a sweet ending, my god absolutely sublime.
TrishAugust 26, 2014Exceptional service, even with large groups. And of course, get a box of macarons! Earl grey is thee best.
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
Kelley L.August 1, 2015Crème brûlée is a dessert with which one cannot go wrong. Fresh fruits and vanilla custard.
Léna Le RollandSeptember 11, 2014One of my fav place in LA. Everything is amazing, the place, the food ! You're going to like it ! Enjoy
Nicole DelaneyFebruary 21, 2012Portobello fries, pizza, & strawberry shortcake were all awesome. Grabbed a few macaroons on my way out and they were amazing as well. Great find!
Alicia KosasihJanuary 4, 2013Best Earl Grey Macaroons! Pastries are delish but I had better ones somewhere else. Sandwiches were okay. Strawberry over Sable was pretty tasty. Definitely check out their macaroons if you're here.
John SmartApril 2, 2012The tip here is you should leave a good tip because the waiters rock. Also it's a swell place to eat and sometimes see ESPN personalities...and get sweets on the way out...and go back to work happy
Pricey but good food and bread. Definitely a must at least once, but your wallet will take a hit
Lisa ReedOctober 31, 2011I discovered this gem on CicLAVia. I bought a sandwich to go and a little chocolate, vanilla mousse and fruit parfait for dessert. Took it to the park for picnic.
The pastries scream out for your Instagram feed. After posting, try an Earl Grey macaroon; they taste like chocolate kissed essence of Fruity Pebbles.
Go for the waffles for brunch. Try the margarita pizza and desserts. The wait time for a table is usually less than they say.
JennNovember 7, 2011For $7 or less you can get a well balanced healthy meal without the grease and a gourmet coffee to go. Great healthy food, cheap, and quick too!
Natalia KrystelJuly 20, 2018Expensive but nice trendy place in Dtla for lunch or dinner. Macarons and key lime pie are too good.
Portobello Fries. Burrata Pizza. Trenne. Salted Caramel Macarons. Good evening; good night!
Daisy NguyenMarch 2, 2011Mussels had just enough spicy heat - super delish! Portabella fries-oh my yummy! Oh, and in case you somehow missed the desert case on the way in, leave room for desert!
HajarAugust 23, 2016Portobello fries, brussels sprouts, pizza, pomodoro spaghetti and for dessert salted caramel budino
PILAR PRENDESMarch 22, 2015Great drinks! Portobello fries!is a must! Macaroons! And desserts!!! Love the pizza also!
Isabel PadronOctober 1, 2014Pizza, pasta, dessert,drinks. Everything is delicious here I don't think there is one bad thing on the menu
R BusDecember 6, 2013Macarons and pastries are pretty good. Portobello fries are yummy. The pizza is just ok...crust is a little thick for a thin crust. Prefer the thin crust pizzas in SF Bay Area.
Edward ForteMay 22, 2013Their bakery is beautifully displayed with stunning desserts but the star are the macaroons with full flavored crispy cookies- Edward ForteOctober 22, 2014Breakfast here is also very good. Freshly squeezed orange juice, ricotta pancakes, and smoked salmon benedict
Hunter ThomasApril 2, 2015Trendy spot with lots of dessert options. Best for sharing pizza or pasta dishes. Big, loud, crowded restaurant.
The valet is now $8. Might be cheaper to park at the lot across the street.
Brian GarridoNovember 19, 2012Mushroom Fries. Get a corner table by the pizza station. Great view of the dining room, almost like being at home in NYC>
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.
Drea CastroMay 3, 2011The salted caramel cupcakes are incredible- never thought I could have salt with caramel but ever since I had this cupcake I'm obsessed with salted caramel everything ... Mmmmm
Connie ChiuJanuary 4, 2015Earl grey, speeculous, and rose macaroons are like magic. Speeennnsive though.
Josh PDecember 28, 2012In a rush, just eat at the bar. Great service with full menu. Pizzas are fantastic. Don't forget the macaroons.
Delicious Macaroons! Try the salted caramel, chocolate mint, or lemon Macaroons.
This Italian restaurant is as close as Italy as you can get... plus, they have macarons... where else can you get great food and macarons??
JustinJune 5, 2015Always enjoyed its atmosphere. Never ate a meal there but their dessert and macaroons? Must try.
M.August 2, 2015Nice atmosphere & good quality food. U need to wait in the q but after that service was good!
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.
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.
Jessie RMay 14, 2015Delicious pizza. Come in even if just to stare at the bakery... It's absolutely gorgeous.
Earl Grey macaroons are God's way of telling us that he loves us. French onion soup is a must eat!
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.
Rick ThompsonNovember 3, 2015Absolutely amazing food. Parking sucks because it's DTLA, but it's a must try
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.
Best darn lasagna in dtla. The portion is pretty large. You'll need a box to go.

"Best pasta in LA. Made fresh daily. The roasted ham pasta is enlightening. So good. Also the flan."
Todd - 8.9
"Modeled on neighborhood Creole Italian places from New Orleans, so along with the burrata salad you get oyster po' boys, crawfish garnishing grilled fish, and fried shrimp with artichokes."
