Had dinner Tuesday night at 8:30 pm, restaurant was cozy, intimate and rustic. From the moment we entered (we were a party of two), we were welcomed in, encouraged to take a lofty corner booth and really felt at home. Sandro took good care of us and all of his recommendations were spot on. All of the food was fresh, flavorful and memorable. We really enjoyed our time and cannot rave enough about the authentic flavors and wonderful hospitality. Thanks again Sandro & co, we will be back... read more

What a cool find! This place is a small Italian restaurant located on the corner of Beverly and Detroit. There's a small parking lot in the back and I didn't have issues finding parking on a Saturday at 8:30pm. Some of the spots are tandem so obviously don't park there (I didn't see a valet person). It wasn't very busy when we arrived (off-peak dinner time) so it was pretty quiet. We ordered the squid ink pasta. Although it was a just a tad bit salty for me, I loved the presentation of the plate, vibes of the interior, and the friendliness of staff. I'd come back again. read more

This is a delightful restaurant. The food is excellent, prices are reasonable, and the setting is lovely. It's not necessarily easy to get to from the Valley, however it is totally worth it!! I wish that it was closer to us! We were able to use a Travelzoo coupon for our dinner, but would absolutely go again without a coupon!! Highly recommend this venue!! read more

I ordered Salmonella! It was the worst piece of fish I have ever eaten! They took this old frozen and smelly piece of crap and fried the crap out of it and sold it to me for $34! I am Usually not this harsh but I was pretty disappointed!!!! read more

Last night my husband and I were looking to grab dinner before catching a movie. We found this gem right near the theater and boy did we luck out! Lovely decor, romantic atmosphere and absolutely fantastic food. I ordered the pesto gnocchi and my husband had the sausage rigatoni. The pasta was fresh, portions were perfect and everything was delicious. Plus the owner is very classy and went around to each table to speak with every customer. He was friendly and nice. I can't even remember the last time an owner of a restaurant took the time to do that, and it enhanced the already pleasant experience. They do so many of the little things right too. Like freshly grated cheese on the pasta, a good quality olive oil with warm bread. Service was great, and I can't wait to try additional things on the menu. This is the spot anytime we want to grab dinner before the movie. Also, given the quality of the food and experience, which were very upscale, the pricing was quite reasonable. I feel so lucky we found this spot. If you like good quality fresh pasta - this is the spot! read more

You can not go wrong when you stop in this place! The cozy atmosphere was instantly met with excellent customer service. For instance, we came in right before Sandro (the owner) was about to serve a huge wine-tasting dinner that had the place virtually sold out. Sandro instantly let me know that he didn't like denying customers; and I was totally happy eating al fresco in the warm evening air. His recommendations for pre-dinner cocktails were spot on, and the bread was what you'd expect from a great Italian restaurant. Sandro's friendly, warm service was matched by the high quality food. I had the Sogliola al Limone. Man, oh MAN was it delicious and filling! The sauce was spectacular, the asparagus was fresh and deliciously prepared, and the Caesar salad had some of the best dressing I've eaten in a while. I should have ordered anchovies (I like anchovies!). My partner raved about his dish as well (sorry, I can't remember what he had!). Another small, but important example of wonderful customer came when the waiter Francisco came over to check up on us. He laid down a dish, and noticed that our table was uneven (You know what I mean, it rocked where you'd want to fold a piece of paper under one of the shorter legs). The table didn't bother either of us at all. Yet Francisco took time out while he was extremely busy, and got under that table and evened the legs out properly. This was something he didn't have to do; and our experience would have still been stellar; yet his marvelous display of making things right for the customer made the dining experience even better. The restaurant is just a block east of La Brea on Beverly. The prices are definitely fair for the superb quality of food that they serve; and Sandro is one of the more personable and professional owners of a restaurant that I've ever met. I can promise you that you'll leave Amerone very, very happy after enjoying their excellent cooking. Trust me on this one. read more

Solid 5 stars! It's definitely got a friendly neighborhood vibe with fabulous food and excellent service. The owner (Sandro) popped by the table a few times and made sure everything was perfect for us. Prices are reasonable for that area, especially given how good the food was. We will definitely be back again! read more

Want to feel like you're in a little Italy? Go to Amarone! Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance! I ordered the Spaghetti Mare and it was delicious!! it was so fresh and full of seafood. Some places only put a few pieces of seafood (usually shrimp) but here it was loaded up! Different types of seafood including octopus, shrimp, and scallops. You can not go wrong with either one of the raviolis, they were both amazing! read more

This place has homemade pasta + sauces. My partner and I ordered several plates and few drinks! Drinks: La Molisana + Whiskey Sour. Both were not too strong so it complimented our main course. We aren't fans of wine so these drinks were a good pair! Appetizers: Carpaccio di Manzo!! SO FRESH. Also so nice to look at! I didn't want to start or finish! Food: Spaghetti Mare + Spaghetti Carbonara. Both were amazing!!! My partner loved the fresh seafood. He was raving about the baby octopus. As far as the carbonara, WOW. Their sauce is so rich. The meat was perfectly sliced. I recommend both plates! Dessert: Tiramisu! It was really good! I heard they are made in house! It didn't make us feel heavy at the end. Service: 10/10. The waiter and owner checked in on us plenty of times. We did not feel bombarded or rushed like at other restaurants. Overall, 11/10! Can't wait to come back. read more

Excellent Food and along with the food, the Service workers were very helpful and friendly! Altogether a wonderful evening of food last night at Amarone, kitchen and bar read more

Amarone on Sunset was my go-to for many years until it briefly disappeared. It has now resurfaced in a comfy, cozy corner spot on Beverly Near La Brea, destined to be a top neighbor Italian. Favorites from a recent visit include a luscious mushroom-stuffed ravioli with butter and sage sauce, a refreshing pear and Gorgonzola salad, and a creamy panna cotta. Menu is packed with specialties, pastas, entrées, and huge salads, all made from scratch inhouse. Owner Sandro is also known among regulars for accommodating off-menu requests. (I asked to have my eggplant parm made New York style--more cheese and sauce than traditional Italian parm--which Sandro gladly and deliciously accommodated). Whether for a special occasion or an everyday meal, Amarone is the perfect local spot for great Italian food. read more

What a fabulous little authentic Italian restaurant! We started with the prosciutto and burrata, which was beyond delicious. We also shared the tagliatelle bolognese and carbonara. Both were cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor. Too full for dessert, but we'll be back! And the barbera wine was great as well! Very welcoming! read more

best Italian food we've had in LA. I don't eat much wheat pasta, but knew I had to try this organic, handmade offering especially when there is Linguine Al Nero Di Seppia / black squid ink pasta with fresh crab and scallops involved. It did not disappoint, with the best chewiness and nuanced seasoning of any Italian dish I've had since visiting the Tuscany region itself. Not a linguine fan, I have been converted! The Bucatini All' Amatriciana is also fantastical, and our friends got the carbonara and lobster spaghetti. We shared the insanely perfect Prosciutto e Burrata and Calamari alla Griglia - the only calamari being the only dish we wouldn't repeat but can't wait to return and try the Polipo Scottato and Carpaccio di Manzo. The restaurant itself is delightfully cozy and "old school" vibes without feeling at all low-fi, and the owner was there all night serving us and bantering away in a fun way. We thought everything was very fairly priced. We will for sure be back, counting the days . . . read more

A friend of mine was raving about this restaurant for months and I was happy to finally try it. It is a very inviting dining room with tasteful decor. The owner greeted us and chatted with us for awhile. The restaurant recently moved from another location. The menu is good - it was very difficult to decide on just a couple of dishes. All the pastas sound great and my head was turning as dishes were delivered to each table. They have a creative cocktail list - not with hipster drinks where you don't know what half the items are. It was curated by someone who really knows what they are doing. I had an interesting drink with an egg foam. We had the Raviolo Funghi, hand made mushroom ravioli with a butter, sage, truffle sauce. For entree, we had filet mignon with a wine reduction sauce. The quality and cook on the steak was perfect. I am not a huge dessert person, but their pannacotta is unforgettable. It does not have too much gelatin. It is light and creamy, with visible specks of vanilla bean which you can taste. read more

Great food. Amazing service and reasonabley priced. This is a true neighborhood gem.

@amaronekitchenandbar - I already tira-MISU! If you're looking for a hidden intimate + vibey gem, you definitely have to check out @amaronekitchenandbar , a family-owned Italian restaurant that specializes in authentic Italian cuisine. They were voted one of the Top 10 restaurants in Los Angeles, and you can really taste the quality in their ingredients, which they try to source organic whenever possible. @amaronekitchenandbar makes all of their breads, pastas, sauces and desserts fresh in-house daily. My favorite dishes were the bruschetta, which was so deeply flavorful and refreshing, and the tiramisu, which was light, fluffy, and pleasantly light on the sweetness. The Pink Lilly cocktail was also deliciously whipped up, and I'll have to try their $70 24K gold cocktail next time. Service could be a bit slow and inattentive even with a slow dinner crowd, but I do understand that the restaurant seems a bit understaffed. Nevertheless, definitely a hidden joint worth checking out if you happen to be in the Beverly & La Brea area! read more

What a gem! Decided on this spot for a last minute midweek date night and we were pleasantly surprised! The ambiance is low key but super romantic. The highlight was the food!! I haven't had carbonara that good since our trip to Florence! The pasta was perfectly cooked and the ratio of eggs to pecorino was on point. My bf ordered the funghi papardelle which was also a 10/10. We would like to gatekeep this place lol but they're so good! The waiter was also friendly and accommodating. We will be back many more times for sure read more

Solid spot! Great food (highly recommend the sausage rigatoni). Excellent service and very nice owner who's from Italy! Ambiance was nice and elevated. There's parking in the back which is helpful. Will definitely come back. read more

We came on. Sunday night for dinner. We ordered a couple cocktails to start and they were good. We also ordered the burrata, and scallops a s both were good. We shared the Insalata Di Pere E Gorgonzola which was decent. For our mains we ordered two pastas: the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese and Rigatoni Alla Vodka. I enjoyed the Tagliatelle over the Alla Vodka. But both were good. We finished with the tiramisu, which was OK. Overall the food and drinks and service were good. read more

I couldn't not give 5 stars because the sevice was very good. It has the vibe that none of the American restaurant I visited has. Pretty much like chill, relaxing, fine dining vibe that I didn't expect from a place on Beverly Blvd (I mean, they did it in a good way). It's very nice to be sitting and actually had a good meal. Food was great. Some items are pricey compared to other restaurants in the area but not pricey compared to the quality you get. Cauliflower food is my favorite but the meat and seafood plates are worth the try too. Parking behind the restaurant. They have some allocated space just for the restaurant. I didn't try alcoholic drink but water didn't smell strong LA tap. read more

As the only customer at the time we were dining, the service cannot be better as we got full attention from the server and the bus boy... However the food messed up... The pasta we got are very salty... The problem was corrected after they re-make them. The tiramisu we got for dessert is good. According to the server everything is made from scratch, including all pasta Ambiance wise is ok ... Nothing too special to mention. read more

I am baffled by the stellar reviews here. The manager (owner?) was hostile and condescending, which is enough reason to stay away, but in addition, the food was mediocre. Basic pasta with red sauce....so you could have any combination (red sauce with sausage, red sauce with eggplant, red sauce with shrimp), but it was far from anything memorable. The red sauce could've been from a jar for all I could tell. Noisy, no sound absorbing features anywhere, so the room was an echo chamber. The food was OK. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good -- which is pretty damning. I will certainly never go back. read more

If you want to feel like family, this is the place to go. We have been here several times and always look forward to coming back. The staff and owners are wonderful. They remember every detail. The restaurant is full of art, candles, instruments and more. The food is amazing. We started with a bottle of wine and a delicious assortment of bread followed by a caprice salad and the main course. I had the blackened jumbo shrimp on a bed of sautéed spinach. My husband had the sausage pasta. For dessert we shared the creame bur-lee. Everything was amazing. Can't wait to go back. read more

An absolute gem. Went with very discerning party and enjoyed the entire evening. Every dish was perfect, Buccatini al Amatriciana, Rigatoni alla Norma, seared octopus especially notable. Lovely service and ambiance made us feel like we were part of the family! What a find!! read more

Such a cute place!! The vibes at this restaurant are immaculate. It is a nice little family-run place with authentic, delicious Italian food at a reasonable price. Everyone was so friendly and welcomed us as if we were family joining them for a meal. I ordered the sausage rigatoni and my boyfriend ordered the pesto gnocchi, both of which were phenomenal. We were trying to force ourselves to eat slower to savor the food. Their homemade bread was so tasty, we had to ask for more! And to finish off the night, we had an order of their divine tiramisu which was crafted to perfection. I hesitated writing this review because I don't want too many people to find out about this gem, but I decided I would share after all! read more

YOU MUST EAT HERE, OUTSTANDING QUALITY!!! In house fresh Pesto gnocchi ... WOW couldn't believe the depth of flavors! I screamed "What have I been eating all my life!" Sausage Rigatoni ... WOW I could smell every ingredient wafting gently in my direction as the waiter brought me this beauty Calamari ... the BEST I've ever had (light batter super crispy with creamy perfect tartar & wonderful red dipping sauce) Refreshingly delightful Orange coconut cocktail! Inhaled the Panna cotta and the fresh strawberry goo that he made in house that's not syrup, not jam, it was something insanely good that I've never tasted before LOVELY SERVICE, super attentive and genuinely friendly. Dim lighting and nice clientele If you give this place anything less than a 5 star rating you're an a$$hole!! THIS IS WHAT U CALL AMAZING FOOD read more

Usually Yelp is pretty spot on but I'll never in a million years understand how this spot gets 5 stars. I've never been to a place that has so many 5 star reviews and was so not even close to that. The food was sub par at best. Came here for the "fresh" pasta, which was a total joke. The pasta we were served was definitely NOT fresh or homemade as advertised, it was from a box or bag for sure. Sauces were totally unremarkable and the bathroom was downright disgusting. Filthy and also flooded floor from a leaky toilet. The complimentary focaccia bread was dried out and literally crunchy and hard. Inedible. Two stars because the servers were nice and attentive and were the best thing about the place. I'm calling out yelp for a rare huge fail on this one. read more

I've eaten in fine Italian restaurants all over the country, and I have to say that Amarone Kitchen And Bar ranks with the best of them. The inside is quiet and conducive to pleasant conversation, even though it's located on a street corner near a busy Los Angeles intersection. That location coupled with the interior reminded of a sidewalk cafe in Rome. The food was just plain magnificent . My wife and I ordered two different salads( pear and asparagus, respectively) with each demonstrating a beautiful balance of flavors. Our pasta entrees , ravioli fungi and linguine al Nero de sepia were done as pasta should be, with all flavors working together to again present a perfect combination of pasta, mushrooms, seafood and sauce without any ingredient overwhelming another. The wine selection is compressive and reasonably priced per glass, and dessert was excellent. Bottom line: Hats off to Sandro and Marco. We're bringing friends here next time. read more

Attentive without being intrusive, this excellent staff are consistently personable and set a nice tone. An atmosphere at once casual and familiar. This has become our ritual: dinner and drinks at Amarone before and after a film at the New Beverly Cinema. Sometimes it almost feels like we're in an old movie. We wish there was more vegan fare here (we go to Pura Vita for vegan Italian.) But the drinks are reliable, and the price surprisingly gentle for an evening of splendor. One of the finest ways to spend a night in Los Angeles. read more

Amarone Kitchen and Bar is such a great find on Beverly Boulevard. The restaurant has a quiet, cozy vibe with dim lighting that makes it perfect for a relaxed night out. Service was prompt and friendly without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even better. We started with the bruschetta and Caprese salad -- both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For our mains, we had the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. Both pasta dishes were absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of classic Italian flavors. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and put a lot of care into every plate. If you're looking for a calm, welcoming spot with great Italian food and attentive service, Amarone is definitely worth a visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

We've only ordered takeout thus far, but plan to dine in soon. It's great to have a new neighborhood restaurant, especially one that has a solid track record from its first/other location on the Sunset Strip, where Amarone has been a low-profile favorite for many years. The pasta and entrees are nothing short of delicious. And the staff is super friendly. The menu is focused, but there's something for everyone. Give it a try! read more

The food ranged from pleasant to serviceable. It's not a bad place if someone wants to meet you here, but if I were selecting I'd look for something better. read more

This restaurant is Italian family-owned and have held fantastic reviews for over 15 years. Amarone uses organic ingredients whenever possible and they make all their bread, pasta, sauce, etc. in house daily! They even freshly squeeze fruit to make the juices that go in the drinks! Not only that but their dining experience is intimate yet cozy. They pace the drinks, appetizers, and entrees so that you can genuinely enjoy your time eating good food with the people you come there with. :) Also the food was AMAZING! Everything we had was flavored perfectly and the gnocchi and lamb had the perfect texture. I highly recommend you try their signature cocktails as well. We couldn't choose which was our favorite because everything was good. I'll definitely have to come back some time! They have a few parking spaces in the back otherwise you'll need to street or neighborhood park! read more
