For some odd reason, a lot of Italian spots have seemingly cropped up overnight in Echo Park and the greater region. Out of sheer luck, my best friend decided to chose this spot for our girls' night dinner, and we have decided on consensus that we savored every bite of our meal. We started our meal with the absolutely delectable focaccia erbraica, a cinnamon roll looking starter bread with olives, currant and a generous sprinkle of rosemary and salt. It came with a pad of homemade honey butter and a dab of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. It was so umami and paired with the butter seemingly melted in our mouths. We also countered that carb bomb with deliciously charred broccolini with walnuts and a squeeze of citrus. Highly cruciferous veggies should only be grilled based on how fast we cleaned our plate. As for the entrees, the plates are meant to share, but I skipped lunch and ate my own bowl of mafaldine short rib pasta (yes you read that right). It was so hearty and satisfying. As a kid, I loved stealing the cooked lasagna noodles and eating them by itself when my mom would make lasagna, so having it on my own bowl of pasta (in the form of mafaldine) gratified my inner child. The short rib was so tender and it was perfectly sauced. I could have eaten another bowl. My friend ordered a steak and a rigatoni alla carbonara, and while I didn't try the former, the latter rigatoni was so delicious as well. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu, and luckily the last one of the night. It had equal parts espresso soaked cake and cream, and it was the perfect sweet note to end our epically delicious meal. read more

Earlier this year I decided to revisit Bacetti after a gap, and I had a great weeknight dinner. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, and I enjoyed the people watching while I sat near the sidewalk. I ordered a few different dishes and started with the Caesar salad, which had a a hint of citrus and was refreshing and punchy like you'd expect with a great version of the dish. I also liked that it came with anchovies. My entree was a pasta all'Amatriciana that had the porky funk that you expect with gaunciale with a hint of heat. With the salad and pasta, I thought I had enough food for one (with room for tiramisu for dessert). I also appreciated the kind service from the server who was sufficiently attentive during my meal. My sense from reviewing the menu was that it would be ideal for sharing plates among several people. In addition, you can also stop by Bar Bacetti either before or after dinner if you are looking for a wine bar. read more

Food and ambience was great and Daniel was pleasant and super helpful. Friendly hostesses too! So why only 4 stars? A restaurant with a coursed menu and tiny tables is expected to..well....course out the food. The other male server who gave us a silly excuse about the kitchen firing orders as they come and some BS about sautéed accompaniments so our 2nd and 3rd courses arrived within a minute of each other might want to reconsider if hospitality is an appropriate career choice. read more

Fantastic first experience here. Have heard nothing but great things about Bacetti, and all warranted. Honestly the only thing to whine about is the parking situation which is nothing short of atrocious especially if there happens to be a Dodgers game. The vibes here are the best- file this under the perfect spot for any small get together, be it a date or intimate girl dinner. Service was warm and friendly and also no complaints about the food. YUMMY pastas, and regardless how you feel about focaccia, just get their version of it- you won't regret it. read more

Arrived before my reservation and was seated upon arrival. Easily found street parking nearby on a weeknight. My main question is why are the tables so small? We could not fit our food + drinks on the table comfortably lol. Additionally, it seems they've raised their prices recently, which is a bummer, but I guess is understandable given our current state. There is also a 20% automatic gratuity included. read more

Echo Park, Los Angeles. Came in on a holiday Monday and was surprised was able to get a table. It's usually packed in here and whenever I attempted to make a reservation it didn't quite work out. I was seated efficiently by the host and proceeded to tell me that we order everything at once and that was no problem for us. Bacetti is set up like an open kitchen, lots of tables with a battalion of chefs in the back cooking up a storm. It was pretty cool to watch. There are outside tables also. The bar area is for overflow but only serves snacks. Our wait person was super polite. Now the food. There was a little bit of a wait, but that was not a problem. We decided to get the broccolini and the carbonara. If we were still hungry, we had our eyes on one of the main dishes. The broccolini came, and it was probably the most delicious preparation I've had in the states. It was loaded with garlic, and nuts , really good ingredients really good olive oil and it was cooked very very well. Next up was the carbonara with guanciale and egg yolk. The rigatoni was nicely chewy and the sauce was perfectly made. This filled us up. We were very impressed with the authenticity of the dishes and how well-made they were. Desserts looked appetizing but a bit predictable. Will try next time tho. Gratuity at 20% for checks. Love Bacetti. Coming back. End of Yelp. read more

Food is very salty. Wine is is very limited and wine was TERRIBLE. Service was terrible. Our waitress was very short with us and not very kind. Felt like we were being rushed out. Gratuity for party of 5 was included (I didn't feel she deserved a good tip). If the food and drinks were bad that tells you everything. read more

Took my wife here for her birthday and we were very pleased with our experience. The broccolini and the short rib ragu were delicious. The branzino wasn't as flavorful as I thought it should've been, so I don't recommend that dish. Service and vibes were excellent. No valet parking so it's all street parking which can be a little difficult. Overall I would recommend this spot. read more

Okay I gotta say I'm getting tired of giving 5 star reviews, but then i realize for these kinds of things (restaurants for special occasions) we get recommendations from our foodie kids and friends and they are seldom wrong. This place was recommended by my step-daughter, and it was fantastic. I asked for a cozy table for my wife's birthday, and we were seated in a nice little booth by the kitchen on a cold night in January. The dining room is gorgeous, with a lot of nice different areas. The couple next to us were also friendly, as a bonus. Everyone nearby seemed to be really enjoying their dining experience. My step-daughter made us promise to order the focaccia. We're not big bread eaters, but thank goodness we got this. I'm not even sure it's technically focaccia, but it's freakin' delicious! We also shared a radicchio salad, the campanelle pasta (all pastas are house-made) and the steak tartare. Okay, my wife's a vegetarian so I ate the whole tartare myself and it was amazing. I mean, truly perfect. The server was wonderful and recommended a perfect red for my meal (by the glass, the mrs. doesn't drink), and then we decided to have the affogato, which went by being delivered to the kitchen table and was one of the best we've ever had. So, 5 stars, no asterisk! Can't wait for another special occasion to go back. read more

Bacetti Trattoria - One half of the nice couple at the next table. Overall, a great-looking crowd. - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Bacetti is a beautiful restaurant serving delicious food, but our experience was unfortunately let down by some confusing and inconsistent service. The restaurant is located near Dodger Stadium in a hilly residential area that isn't particularly pedestrian-friendly. Parking was by far the biggest logistical challenge, as we couldn't find any dedicated parking options beyond residential street parking. It's worth planning extra time if you're driving. We arrived around 7:45 for our 8pm reservation simply to check in, not expecting to be seated early. The host, seeming a little bothered, let us know our table would be ready closer to our reservation time and offered grabbing a drink at the bar next door as an option while we wait. We didn't want to order drinks, so we stood against the wall in the waiting area across the host stand. We were single-file, hugging the wall and not blocking anyone. Nevertheless, we were quickly told we couldn't wait there and needed to either go outside (it was cold) or sit at the tables next to the bar. After taking the indoor option given to us, a server came over to take our order. We explained that we were only sitting there because the host had directed us to wait there until our table was ready. The server responded, "Well, if you're here, it's basically expected you order a drink." Restaurants: please do not play games with your patrons. If purchasing something is expected to use the waiting area you direct us to, it leaves a really bad taste to discover it after you've sat down. After 8, we were seated in the main restaurant for our reservation. Our server was friendly, personable, and never made us feel pressured to order more than we wanted like I've encountered in other places. The menu was explained as family-style, with dishes intended to arrive around the same time. Unfortunately, the pacing of the meal didn't match that explanation. Instead of arriving together, the dishes came out individually over the course of about 1-2 hours, often 10-20 minutes apart. I completely understand that everything is made fresh, but it was disappointing after being told the meal would be timed differently. Setting accurate expectations would have gone a long way. The food itself was excellent and easily the highlight of the evening. While the dishes leaned a bit salty, everything was crafted artfully with quality ingredients. The stuffed fried squash blossoms, carbonara, pesto, and peach & burrata salad were all standouts that I'd happily order again. read more

It's always a little too dark in here for me, but please try all of the antipasti. The pizza? Honestly, it speaks for itself. And the bread is insanely good - I order it pretty often even when I'm not dining in. read more

Wow. This place is a well deserved 5 star Focaccia Ebraica - The best thing on the menu. An absolute must have. You can't get this anywhere else, it's popular for a reason. For pasta we got the Cavatelli, Rigatoni alla Carbonara, and the Malfadine. Every single one was delicious and creamy. It's beyond expectations. Service was fast and easy and the Ambiance is wonderful. It's the perfect dinner spot. I highly recommend to anyone who's a fan of Italian. read more

Came by on a Monday night and got seated immediately as a walk-in. The highlights of our meal was surprisingly not the pasta, but the caesar salad that came with anchovies and the ricotta stuffed squash blossoms (I'm surprised they have this on the menu!!) that absolutely knocked it out of the park. I'll be long thinking of those. Beautiful natural lighting into the warm atmosphere (both indoor/outdoor seating available) with lovely service. read more

Wow! Everything we had (party of 5) was delicious! We tried the focaccia bread, Caesar salad, fritters, chicken piccata, cacio e pepe, short rib pasta, and sampled the ricotta cheesecake, sorbet trio, and the citrus olive oil cake. Holy smokes I would order all of that again and again. In addition to the mouthwatering food, the service was impeccable! From the bartender, to the host, to our servers-just fantastic! Everything came out at perfect intervals and was nice and hot. I told my husband that I'm bringing him next time! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. One side note, parking can be a little tough as other reviews have mentioned, but I found a spot pretty quickly. read more

Such a cute place! I loved their decor and their outfits! Everyone was super friendly and my waitress was very attentive. The pasta was so so good and I loved the texture of the noodle. I would give them a 4.5 rather than a 5 because of the crudo, it was good but the passata was a bit too acidic, almost too much so to be palatable. I still really enjoyed the evening and they have amazing presentation. Highly recommend and would return. It's also fairly easy to find street parking for free which I always like. FANTASTIC drinks here too! read more

Really cute restaurant with a great vibe and a simple but well-curated menu, but the food was disappointing. The two pasta dishes we ordered were flavorless, the salad was just okay, and the focaccia was overly greasy and overpowered by rosemary. Basically, none of the dishes we ordered met even my basic expectations. read more

Very cute spot and we found easy street parking for our early dinner. We had wine at their bar before the restaurant opened. Not a full bar which I didn't realize upon making a res. No biggie the wine was good. I asked the bartender for the dinner menu for bacetti just to check it out. Didn't realize it was a HUGE ask and she told me to find it online . Anyhow I hate that the bar menu is different from the main Dining Doesn't it come from The same kitchen ? We wanted pizza but it's only available at the bar. What a shame Also note there is no happy hour on drinks just free olives. The host didn't even crack a smile and I felt like we were bothering her asking for our table. Overall the food was decent , the focaccia was overly seasoned but the skirt steak and lamb was excellent . The pesto pasta was okay and overall we enjoyed our food and the service was better here Which made the auto 20 % service charge okay But They had already decided that for me ..., read more

A laidback, quiet spot to get a drink or dinner or even just appies in Echo Park. Serving up Italian cuisine, I really enjoyed the small plates I had here. They were unlike anything I had before, and I found myself wanting more and more. This is definitely the place to order some good wine and hearty pasta. I didn't have much time, as I was going to an event at the chocolate dispensary nearby, but I'll absolutely have to come back to share some larger plates with friends. There is a happy hour menu, too - mostly small plates, from what I saw. Service was efficient. I sat by the bar during a quiet evening, so my food came out quickly and the server was quite attentive. Street parking is your best bet here. read more

What a gem in Echo Park! Right off the bat this is a perfect place for a datenight. Great ambiance with modern decor and beautiful high vaulted ceiling. I was treating my friend out for her birthday on a thursday night. She recommended this place as she was here before. For drinks, bday girl got her favorite TWO-KISS SPRITZ and I got a glass of GLS Rocco di Carpeneto Afaja which was crisp and refreshing. The FOCACCIA EBRAICA with taggiasca olives, currants, rosemary, and sea salt was memorable. It looked like a cinnamon roll. Great to start with! Their seasonal KABOCHA SQUASH with pomegranates, balsamic drizzle, basil and hazelnuts was delicious! For mains, we got the MAFALDINE RAGU and BRANZINO. The mafaldine with the short rib ragu was "chef's kiss" - definitely a must-try! The branzino was good but underwhelming compared to the mafaldine . My friend raved about both dishes but I would skip on the branzino. The squash and the mafaldine were standouts in terms of flavor and texture that they both eclipsed the branzino. We were so full that we didn't order dessert. Chelsie was our waitress and she was nice, courteous, and attentive. Parking wasn't easy though. I lucked out on street parking nearby. read more

It was a cute, charming restaurant. Very Echo-park hipster vibe. Service was friendly and food was good. They had a small menu that hits all the basics. We started with a Caesar salad, shared the short rib pasta, a branzino, and an affogato. Everything was good, but it wasn't as creative or new or different as I would have liked. Parking was hard, but they do have valet. read more

This review is specifically for the newly opened Bar Bacetti, which used to be Tilda. Bacetti is one of my favorite spots in Echo Park. It's in a gorgeous location on Echo Park Ave, and they constructed a beautiful outdoor setup during COVID, which has remained. The Bar next door is really romantic and intimate, with a handful of indoor tables in the front and a few more dramatically-styled tables in the back room. They have an aperitivo hour from 3-5p during the week in which you can get a snack with any drink. I opted for the stuffed peppers, which were a perfect complement to my uniquely crafted Aperol Spritz. The drink wasn't filled to the top, which was slightly off-putting due to the prices, but seeing other drinks come out from behind the bar, it seemed like that just might be their practice. As a second snack, I ordered the meatballs, which were fried and crazy tasty. They served a very generous portion, and it was so filling, I didn't need to order anything else. I will continue to frequent this spot, and will branch out to try different dishes and drinks in the future. read more

We went for dinner after watching the Dodgers game, and this place is very close to Dodger Stadium, which makes it convenient but parking can be a bit difficult. The restaurant's décor is stylish, definitely a hidden gem in Echo Park. Since it was Wednesday, they had a special menu: one pizza with a bottle of wine for $65, which we thought was a great deal. The pizza was indeed delicious, and the red wine we chose was surprisingly good in quality. We also ordered pasta. Personally, I felt the noodles were slightly overcooked, but that might just be because I prefer them a little firmer. Still, the sauce made up for it, so it was okay overall. The restaurant has a vibe that really feels like the East Coast, perfect for dates or wine lovers. The service was excellent, and overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely come back. read more

Food and menu options were very good. Other than some small hiccups, I really enjoyed our experience overall. We were greeted very warmly by the host. Waitress was nice but didn't address us much or do anything special (more to come). We ordered an app, salad, pasta, and branzino. Unfortunately, they were out of the branzino (the table next to us got the last one) so we pivoted to the steak. Our reservation was at 7:30 and we ordered pretty fast so I was surprised they would run out of the fish so early in the night. Our salad came and I realized it had goat cheese on it even though I put in my Resy that I don't eat goat cheese. When I told the waitress she didn't seem concerned and since the menu didn't specify what cheese, she didn't offer any replacement. Luckily, the person I was with loved the salad so we moved on. Our next course took quite a while and finally they brought the steak. It was clear that they forgot the pasta dish so I mentioned it the runner and he looked into it. Our waitress never visited between the salad and when the steak came and never made any reference that the pasta was missed. Luckily they fired it up quickly and the runner was the one who delivered it. Both the steak and pasta were very good so I didn't make any fuss over the missed dish. We were enjoying our conversation and taking in the surroundings which involved a very loud table of people a couple tables down at the bar portion of the restaurant, that made for good people watching / listening:-). Finally, our waitress did come back and ask about dessert. We ordered the chocolate tart only to be told that was also sold out. So we went with the toffee pudding which the waitress said was her favorite. I felt like that was the most we got from her all night. Again, she was fine / nice, just didn't offer much. In fact, our waters were empty after we got the dessert but we never saw her again to get a refill. Oh well, she was right that the dessert was great and she was very pleasant otherwise. Overall, we really liked the food and other than a couple misses, the service was fine. I would still recommend this place and probably come back, maybe to try the bar menu next time. read more

Solid spot to go for a casual date night! We ordered the: 1. Focaccia Ebraica 2. Radicchio Salad 3. Short Rib Ragu 4. Panna Cotta My partner and I really loved the flakiness of the Focaccia. It has this savory sweet flavor with the butter that leaves you wanting more. The salad was alright--I've heard that it's one of the most popular items on the menu but I just didn't feel it wowed me as a dish. Ragu for entreé was filling! I loved how tender the meat was, but my partner thought it was too salty (which I do believe it was a tad bit as well). Panna Cotta was surprisingly our favorite to end the night out. Light, refreshing, and just the right about of tanginess. Our server was attentive and provided us with recommendations as this was our first time. I'll definitely find myself back here when I'm around the area, but I wouldn't call it an all-time fav. read more

There is something about the vibe here that reminds me of New York. The little outdoor space dedicated to outdoor seating and being engulfed in a canopy of trees in a very tight neighborhood sits this trendy Italian restaurant. This restaurant also has an attached bar with pizzas, but alas we did not try that. We sat in the main restaurant right across the kitchen which is exposed for everyone to see. Who doesn't get excited hearing someone yell "fire..."? We ordered the bread which looked like a cinnamon roll, but was savory, pillowy, and kissed by an olive oily flavor. Paired with there balsamic olive oil butter it just melts in your mouth . The pasta was cooked perfectly. It was bouncy and the coating and cheese were all perfect. The bad. This is echo park. Parking sucks. I was able to find parking in the adjacent neighborhood, and my friend also found parking in the neighborhood, but it did take time for him to find a spot. This place rocks. Make a reservation. read more

This place is sooo cute!! Super pretty interior and definitely a spot that's on the nicer side. The service was super friendly and home-y as well. I had seen people raving about the focaccia and it was definitely amazing! They mastered the texture, as it was fluffy and soft, unlike many other focaccias I've had. The carbonara rigatoni was AMAZING. Very creamy and thick, and the pasta was super thick and al dente, which is how I like it. The short rib mafaldine sauce was a little watery when I like it on the thicker side, but still good with super tender yummy short rib too!

Overall, Bacetti delivers. This place feels right at home in echo park - I would recommend it for anyone looking for a new date-night spot. The restaurant itself is warm and refined - lively, but never chaotic. It's easy to relax and enjoy a conversation here. Food: Each dish we ordered was delicious. The pastas were well done, and never felt overly heavy. I'd also recommend the steak, Cesar salad, and rice fritters. Service: The service was paced well. Each staff member that assisted us was well-informed and offered helpful recommendations. Parking: In true echo park fashion, Bacetti is tucked away in a dense neighborhood with limited, almost semi-illegal parking. They have valet as well. read more

Love the bread with butter. Pasta was nice. Nice ambiance. Very nice neighborhood Italian restaurant.

This is the first and last time my bf and I are coming here. We got seated pretty quick, but it took about 10-15 mins until someone took our order and gave us water. We ordered the focaccia, carbonara and rigatoni. Both were good but didn't "wow" us. Got the rigatoni first. After they took it away we waited about another 10 mins til our waitress showed up and I had to ask how long til the carbonara came out. After we finished the carbonara we just asked for the check right away. It's a good place for date night but lowkey gave us Great White vibes. read more

First they automatically add 20% tip to the bill. That would be perfectly acceptable if the service was warranted. It was not. We had multiple servers that did not know what occurred previously. The right hand did not know what the left hand was doing . We ordered a Aperol Spritz, and others have commented, it came half empty. When I inquired the waiter about it, he told me that's just how they came? Really then why is the glass full for other patrons with the exact same drink? Wait staff never came to check on us even with 2 servers. The front of house who picked up the phone was not friendly and borderline curt. The food was a disappointing. We ordered bread, salad and 2 pastas. The bread was interesting with currents and olive but was over powered by thyme. I would not order it again at $15. The Caesar Salad $18 and was smothered in dressing and large finger length of sardine fillets that were extremely salty. The Mafaldine was very mid. It's was palatable but had an odd sweetness to it. Unfortunately, the pesto was not palatable and left untouched by both of us after the first bite. Really earthy tasting and a bit bitter. I watched the hostess make people wait in the front while the place was empty and the wait staff just gathered around chit chatting. They would not let us order pizza since we were in the main dining area which I found very odd. We drove an hour to try this place and were extremely disappointed. April, the manager (only one that smiled) salvaged the experience. She was really friendly and attentive. We discussed and recommend restaurants to each other so my partner felt comfortable enough to let her know about our experience. She sent over the sticky toffee dessert to us on the house. Good manager but her staff must be very difficult to manage. Owner should really invest in better training especially if they are going to automatically charge patrons 20% tip read more

TLDR: absolutely adored Bacetti and cannot wait to return! We have been eagerly on the hunt for good Italian cuisine in LA and Bacetti hit the spot. It was easy to make a reservation, staff were friendly from the moment we walked in. The restaurant is very open and you're not on top of the people sitting next to you which is nice. Solid wine list, a lot of variety and fantastic producers like Cirelli - a well curated list. And great non-wine options too! The food: Gemme - light and refreshing, very tasty - great option to start with if you're ordering heavier dishes. Recommend! Mafaldine - the short rib ragu was stunning, we want to come back immediately for this dish. Love a ragu with carrots as the pasta was perfectly al dente. Don't miss! Agnello - the lamb shank was cooked perfectly, so tender with polenta! Highly recommend! I really wanted to try the cavatelli from the website, but it wasn't on the menu that night. Overall, a fantastic experience and we cannot wait to return! read more

This place was fantastic! I have high standard for Italian and was blown away. I started off the night with a lovely glass of red blend. Focaccia: 5/5 it really is THAT good. It's the perfect balance of salty and sweet, and the exterior was nice and crisp, with a soft interior. Truly so delicious, especially with the honey butter. Sunchokes: 5/5 AMAZING I absolutely loved these (not pictured) Campanelle: 4/5 so so good! The mushrooms were very nicely done and the pasta itself is clearly fresh and delicious. The pasta itself is light and a little lemony. Olive oil cake: 4/5 this was super tasty but a bit dry at the interior. The balance of citrus flavors was great though and not super sweet, which I loved. Our server was also fabulous, gave great suggestions, and the dishes came out quickly. Highly recommend! read more

Italian food is abundant in Los Angeles, but truly great spots are few and far between. Bacetti, however, stands out even amongst my favorite LA haunts. I'd had my eye on this charming trattoria for months, and I'm happy to say it exceeded my expectations. My friends and I dined al fresco and the vibes were wonderful. Our server, Byron, was so kind, attentive, and happy to make recommendations. I was in a drinking mood, so I was happy to see that they had a Lambrusco. Upon tasting, my friends and I loved it so much that we sprung for the bottle rather than just having a glass. It had perfect amount of fizz and wasn't too dry or too sweet. For starters, we had the focaccia and brocollini. The focaccia was melt in your mouth soft and incredibly flavorful. Brocollini was decent too. For my entree, I went with the house made short rib malfadine pasta and I cleaned every last bite. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the short rib was incredibly tender and the dish was filling and flavorful without being too dense. We ended the night with the tiramisu and a sticky toffee pudding. Great tiramisu. Perfect balance of cream, coffee, and ladyfingers. Bacetti has their portions and ratios down! But the sticky toffee pudding was truly something to write home about. The dreamiest texture, the perfect flavor; I was in heaven. My friends and I were comfortably full after polishing everything off, but we still considered ordering another sticky toffee pudding. It's just that good. A rare 5 star experience. Can't wait to return. read more
