I don't normally post reviews but this place was soooo incredible that I had to write one. I had the wonderful opportunity to dine at their new Beverly Hills location (the other one being in New York) and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! Walking in, the place was spectacular and nothing like you've seen in LA. The vibe was just right and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Now for the food and drinks, everything was spectacular! I'm pescatarian and there was so many things to choose from! From the biggest seafood tower I've ever seen with the freshest items that seemed like it came straight from the ocean, to the table-side lobster pasta (what an experience!), everything was delicious. And don't forget to order the roasted garlic babka and the eggplant pull-a-parm for the table The service was on par to Michelin Star restaurants that I've been in the past. Thank you to the entire staff, especially shout to Brendan, for all the recommendations and the wonderful time we had! I can't wait to be back! read more

Amazing first (of many) visits to Bad Roman. After hearing all about the NYC location - happy to say it lives up to the hype. Our server Ashlyn set a high bar for the experience, taking such great care in making sure we had the BEST night. Food was excellent, with the signature Filet and Raviolo a standout, we also loved the whipped ricotta, the pear and arugula salad, the garlic Babka. Make sure to save room for dessert - Ashlyn made sure we got to try her favorite, the Blood Orange Sorbet- something we wouldn't have chosen otherwise, and it may have been the underrated fave of the night. The deconstructed Lemon Cheesecake, Tiramisu ice cream cake, and the chocolate torte were great too. We really enjoyed meeting several of the staff who were so welcoming to this new space, and really made the experience. Bad Roman is well represented in LA by this team. read more

Somehwat posh and well decorated restaurant to spend the evening. Great location too as you can walk around Rodeo Drive if you have to wait. Can be a little noisy since its a bit crammed in there. I suggest starting with the garlic babka bread which is the top item in their appetizers. They also had a great salad dish, the Spicy Gem Caesar which isn't spicy (luckily) and had lots of cheese. The main course was excellent as well, particularly the seafood dish, the lobster pasta dish which had delicious seasoning/creamy sauce/chewy noodles. We also finished with the lemon cheesecake which was beautifully presented in the shape of actual lemons. Service was very friendly and checked up on us often. read more

Ashlyn gave us amazing service! She was super sweet, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. The drinks were amazing, the food was delicious, and the rest of the staff was also really friendly and welcoming. And the decor is beautiful Definitely a great experience and we'll be back!! read more

Bad Roman - New American Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Bad Roman is definitely my go to place when I'm in LA. Just off of Wilshire it is close to Rodeo Drive. The restaurant is beautiful. I am impressed by the attention to detail. That attention to detail follows through with the service and the amazing food. Just love it! Also, the cocktails are great with a terrific wine list. read more

Went here a few weeks ago with a few friends when it just opened. The service wasn't up to par as they were still trying to figure things out which would have been forgivable if the food was amazing. The food was alright but definitely not memorable. Probably won't be back unless I'm dragged in by my friends. read more

Bad Roman - New American Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Bad Roman is a beautiful-looking restaurant, and the staff is friendly, but unfortunately the dining experience did not live up to the hype. Despite having a late dinner reservation, we were kept waiting for about 30 minutes. By the time we were seated, the restaurant was already emptying out, leaving us among the last diners there. The croissant bread was the highlight of the meal--so much so that we ordered a second round while waiting for our food, which took an unusually long time to arrive. The Cacio e Pepe was, without question, the worst version of the dish I've ever had. The eggplant looked impressive when it arrived, but it was extremely salty and barely edible. The fish was dry and served slightly cold. For a bill totaling $509, the only memorable part of the meal was the bread and butter. Very disappointing overall, especially considering the price point and reputation of the restaurant. read more

Awesome food and service was on point and the food I must say was outstanding. You have to try the garlic bread and panacota for dessert!

Bad Roman was actually a hit. Lately I've gone into most new hyped restaurants with pretty low expectations because they rarely live up to the buzz. Usually it's high prices, average food, and service that doesn't justify the cost. That wasn't the case here. The ambiance is probably the strongest part of the restaurant. The space feels fresh, upscale, energetic, and well-designed. The music was great, the crowd was lively, and it feels like the kind of place where you could just stop by for drinks at the bar and still have a great time. We started with the bread, which was fine but nothing memorable. For appetizers, we went with some of the heavier fried options. They were good, but definitely rich. If you're dining with a small group, keep that in mind because these aren't the type of dishes you'll want to eat more than one or two pieces of. They fill you up quickly. The real star of the night was the lobster pasta. This dish absolutely delivered. It was loaded with lobster, the creamy sauce was fantastic, and the pasta itself was the perfect choice for the dish. Easily the best thing we ordered and something I'd come back for again. The filet mignon with the ravioli on top was just okay. The presentation was fun and definitely gets attention when it arrives at the table, but flavor-wise it didn't stand out. Nothing was wrong with it, but it's not a dish I'd order again. For dessert we finished with the tiramisu ice cream cake. After a meal full of rich and heavy dishes, the cold dessert felt like the perfect ending. It was light enough to finish comfortably and tasted great. Service was good, though not exceptional. Nobody did anything wrong, but the staff felt very compartmentalized. It seemed like everyone had a specific role and stuck strictly to it. If someone's job was taking orders, they weren't clearing plates. If someone's job was serving wine, they weren't doing something else. The experience felt a little less natural because of that. That said, our server Ashlin was wonderful. She made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal and even comped one of the dishes, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It completely changed the tone of the experience and honestly made us want to tip more than we normally would. Especially for a newer Los Angeles restaurant, where hospitality can sometimes feel like an afterthought, that level of kindness stood out. Overall, Bad Roman exceeded my expectations. Not every dish was a winner, but the highlights were excellent, the atmosphere is one of the best parts of the experience, and there was enough here to make me want to come back. read more

Walking into this restaurant is such a vibe! The asthetic is amazing, beautifully designed. It's super viby. I dined with a girlfriend and we started with the roasted garlic babka bread and oh it is so good! Light buttery and garlicky. We also got the yellowtail crudo, also good. The spicy gem Caesar, that had lots of cheese and some yummy crunchy ciabatta crumbs. We shared the chicken scarpariello rigatoni pasta and it had great flavor. We finished with the lemon cheesecake dessert that is super cute and also yummy. It was my bday so they brought out some sorbet with a candle in a super cute dish. We also had some drinks, and overall this place is superb! The vibe, the staff and the food are all great. I will definitely be back! read more

The minute i stepped into Bad Roman I immediately knew i was going to have a good time. I loved the moody lighting and the giant boar at the front. Friendly isn't enough to describe how accommodating and helpful every single person we've come across was. Our group had some dietary restrictions and our server walked as through the menu to make sure everything was covered. After some very thoughtful suggestions, our cocktails came out first and they were amazing. I particularly loved the Amalfi Diet, which was served in a little diet coke bottle, delicious and cute! The food was ridiculously good. Perfect medium rare steak, lobster pasta presented table-side not just for fanfare but with intention, not to mention the humongous seafood tower that felt like both a treasure hunt for accoutrements and an embarrassment of riches in the form of literal jumbo shrimp, crab legs, oysters and caviar. The lemon-shaped lemon cheesecake for dessert. Everything was presented and executed perfectly. Bad Roman just instantly transports you into your own little world where you don't have to worry about anything other than what to order (though they can help you with that too! Thanks Brendan, Rex and everyone else for the amazing recommendations) and it's crazy to think they haven't been open that long. An amazing addition to our little neighborhood. read more

Such a fun Saturday night out at Bad Roman steps away from iconic Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Sexy and chic restaurant with great service if you have Linn as a waitress. She made the whole night amazing by taking excellent care of our table. We enjoyed the ravioli a top the filet cooked medium. It was outstanding! Great steak in my opinion! The lemon cheesecake is definitely worth a try if you like those flavors! Presentation, flavor, and ambiance all made for a fun night. Drink menu was vast, espresso (nonalcoholic) perfect to waken up the night. Mocktail list available as well greatly appreciated!! Will be back! read more

For a restaurant that just opened less than a month ago, it was very very impressive. Priced perfectly and not gouging prices like most restaurants today. Very very reasonably priced. The food was incredible and delicious. The lobster pasta was probably the best lobster pasta I ever had. Perfect spice, right balance of flavor and not heavy. Steak was great too and all the apps we ordered. A lot of table side service which is great! Service was outstanding! For a Beverly Hills restaurant, service was excellent. The ambiance was my favorite! It was posh, chic, elegant, and everything that you want in the perfect restaurant atmosphere read more

It's way too loud in there and I'm not that old lol. The music volume is fine, it's not that. It's the reflection of voices bouncing off the walls and ceilings. If you have to have a business meeting or want to catch up with friends, forget it. Go somewhere else. A few pieces of fabric on the ceiling or walls will fix all that. Now on to the food. It was very good. The service and the staff are exceptional. We really enjoyed the people we met. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were yummy. I enjoyed the food but I don't enjoy yelling at my friends for 1.5 hours just to have a meaningful conversation. Bad Roman: go visit "Verse" - they have mastered acoustics in a restaurant. You can have a packed house, loud music and still hear the person talking across from you. read more

We ordered everything for the table to share. Pasta was divine and we ended up getting a third plate. I personally liked the chocolate cake more but their lemon cake is very photo genetic. Great service too. It gets a bit louder towards the end of our time there but overall it's a pleasant dining experience. read more

Thrilled this has opened here after enjoying it in NYC. The food is incredible, the decor and atmosphere are fun and maximalist instead of the boring grey dining rooms that somehow became normal. Ashyln took amazing care of us, gave perfect recommendations. The staff welcomed our six year old warmly and gave us some off menu kid options for her. The filet and raviolo are to die for. Lemon cheesecake is life changing. Try everything! read more

Happy to say that Bad Roman exceeded all expectations - Food (babka, meatballs, wedge, agnolotti, branzino, desserts), Service - (Linh was fantastic, flawless teamwork), Vibe - (vibrant, loud, cool). A relief to try a new restaurant that did not disappoint. Only miss was the sparkling water, very much over Pelligrino. read more

Loved this place! Wandered in a bit before they closed and had some appetizers at the bar. The bartender was fantastic and the atmosphere was really cool and chic. Every other place in this area was a ghost town but this place was absolutely kickin! read more

Wonderful experience. A solid 10/10. I came here on a Thursday night for an 8pm reservation. The restaurant was busy when I got there, but it got busier and louder around 8:30 and on. The ambience is sexy. The restaurant is dark, the decor is beautiful, the music is a fun and the bustling of all the tables talking and having a good time is a vibe. Our server was great too. He had such a fun and good energy, which added to the night. Everything we ordered was great. We got the garlic babka and spicy brussels sprouts for appetizers, the truffle cacio e pepe and brazino for the main and the lemon cheesecake for desert. The branzino was the BEST I've ever had. Really. It was so good. My only complaint was that the cacio e pepe lacked a bit of flavor, so we ate it with the sauce the branzino came in. The presentation of the lemon cheesecake was so fun! I will definitely be back! read more

Amazing. Beautiful place, incredible service and phenomenal food. Not a bad dish, and every recommendation from our server was spot on. Highly recommend! read more

i wanted to come here and absolutely love it. and while the ambiance and vibe was fun and vibrant, the food was so mediocre that it ruined the experience. the bread that came with the whipped ricotta appetizer was rock hard, to the point where we joked we may lose a tooth attempting to bite into it. the arugula salad was nice but the eggplant pull apart was so hard to plate without making a huge mess on the table, and the eggplant was so salty that it made it almost dry. the service was lovely and again loved the decor but would only really come back for drinks and vibes. read more

Food and service were both phenomenal. Anthony our server was wonderful - went above and beyond! Our favorites were the Brussels sprouts, truffle pasta and tiramisu ice cream cake. Looking forward to returning. read more

Bad Roman is a beautiful restaurant with a very lively atmosphere. Unfortunately, I don't have much more positive things to say about my experience there. The food was extremely mediocre, especially for the price point it is at. For upwards of $40 for a bowl of pasta, I expect something delicious, not bland and simply edible. The Agnolotti Bistecca was $48 and the steak in it was extremely dry. The Penne Luongo tasted like buttered noodles with some truffle. The Spicy Lobster pasta was the only dish that was actually pretty yummy! Additionally, we had to wait 40 minutes to get seated for a reservation we made 3 weeks prior--it almost felt like a game to get us to buy drinks at the bar while waiting. I only say that because I saw an influencer online also have that exact experience of waiting almost an hour for her reservation. Bad Roman is a good spot for a couple of drinks, the ambiance, and maybe a crudo or some dessert. But, for a full, expensive dinner in LA, you could go to much better spots. read more

Idk where to begin, but this place is not worth the hype. We came here with my husband from videos we saw online thinking it's going to be great. We drove 40 minutes just to stay there for 30 min and want to leave immediately. We spent $250 for 2 main dishes and an appetizer and sparkling water and for it to be the most mediocre tasting plates ever. The steak was cold the ravioli on top was cold which made cutting difficult. And when you eat cold steak it tastes horrible. The bread with the tartare was super dry made chewing very hard. And the spicy lobster took a minute because one of the men was training the guy and of course it had to be on our table while our experience is getting worse by the minute. The waitress kept coming every 10 seconds interrupting our conversation which made us super mad to the point we just stopped talking. Over all horrible experience. And the cherry on top I felt sick where I threw up when I came home. Spending $250 for bad experience and a sick stomach was something we regret and wish we visited some place else. This is such a scam, don't trust trendy places. ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT THEY LIE ABOUT RESERVATIONS LOLLL They say they are fully booked and have two time slots available. The place was nearly empty the whole time we were there and the times we wanted they said they're fully booked when they weren't. A good 7 empty tables the whole time we were there. Hilarious read more

Great food and customer service. Very Italian and delicious. Highly recommended. Generous portion with high quality

Honestly, i don't think I've ever had this much fun and good food at a restaurant in my 25 years of life in LA. Chris our waiter was absolutely amazing and good vibes all around. Great conversation and great humor. I highly recommend. read more

Loved Bad Roman. The space is vibrant and stylish without feeling over the top. The cocktails were excellent, and honestly everything we ordered was delicious. Favorites were the rock shrimp cavatelli, filet, Dover sole, and sweet potato spiedini. Don't skip the orange sorbet for dessert. Fun atmosphere, great food, and definitely worth it! read more
