Ca' Del Sole is one of Southern California's best-kept secrets and, without question, one of my…read morefavorite restaurants. Tucked away in an unexpected corner of North Hollywood, you walk through the entrance and suddenly feel as though you've been transported to a breathtaking Italian garden. The ambiance is absolutely magical and easily ranks among my top 10 dining experiences in Southern California. I've been coming here for well over a decade, and it has never lost its charm. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic date night, meeting friends for brunch, or simply treating yourself to an unforgettable meal, Ca' Del Sole delivers every single time. The food is exceptional. Every dish is beautifully prepared with the quality, elegance, and attention to detail you'd expect from an upscale restaurant in France or Italy--but at prices that are surprisingly reasonable. It's rare to find a restaurant that feels this luxurious without the luxury price tag. Their brunch is outstanding, dinner is absolutely spectacular, and every meal feels like an occasion. The service is equally impressive. It's not unusual to spot an A-list celebrity dining here, but what I love most is that everyone is treated like a VIP. The hospitality is warm, genuine, and consistently exceptional. The staff has a way of making every guest feel welcome, appreciated, and completely taken care of. I especially love the beautiful cabanas and garden patio. It's one of those places where you find yourself lingering because you simply don't want the experience to end. Honestly, part of me wants to keep Ca' Del Sole a secret so I can always get a table--but restaurants this special deserve to be celebrated. If you're looking for incredible food, world-class service, unforgettable ambiance, and one of the most romantic dining experiences in Los Angeles, this is the place. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back, and if I could, I'd happily celebrate every special occasion here.

Unfortunately, this was not a great experience, especially because both my fiancé and I ended up…read moregetting what seemed like food poisoning after our meal here. I obviously can't say for certain which dish caused it, but the calamari is the item I'm most suspicious of. The calamari itself tasted okay when we ate it, but I fear it or something else was contaminated. We also tried several of the happy hour items, and I would not be fooled by the relatively low prices because the portions are extremely small. For example, the meatball order comes with only two individual meatballs, and the arancini comes with two small pieces. The wine pours were also pretty small. The arancini in particular wasn't very good and had a pretty bland, flavorless filling, so even though the prices look affordable at first, you don't get much food for what you're paying. The service wasn't particularly bad and we didn't have any major issues with the staff, but the food poisoning experience really overshadowed everything else. Between that, the tiny happy hour portions, and some of the food being underwhelming, I wouldn't come back. The happy hour deals might look like a good value on the menu, but the portions definitely don't feel like one.

Ordered truffle breakfast sando and rib omelette, I'd say the omelette was better…read more The rib meat was super tasty and juicy in the omelet, the sandwhich was kind of meh. It felt like it needed a protein , or some kind aioli, it was dry and not super tasty. Coffees were ok. 70$ for 2 people to eat breakfast and 2 coffees, A bit pricey, and you order at the counter and have options for 18,20,25% tip , which felt weird and pressured to do before my food had even arrived. So I tipped 11$ for someone to bring me out food I guess. Ambiance was nice, very empty but pretty inside. I would go back to try their wood fired pizza. Not sure I'll be back for breakfast.

It was actually hard to decide on just one bakery item - everything looked delicious. Next time the coffee cake will be happening. I got poached eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Husband got a hash omelette. Both come with a lovely little side of greens with a great dressing. Brunch isn't brunch without a little libation, so I had a lovely French white wine and he had a French red. The wine list though small by the glass is chosen very well. We were hoping they sold their bread at the bakery because it's absolutely delicious. Service is warm and friendly. Price point for breakfast with tip was $100. We will definitely be coming back soon to this great neighborhood spot.

Whooo-weee this place was a pleasant surprise! My lady and I were looking for a cozy dinner spot…read moreafter a movie and Rustic Spoon absolutely delivered. We arrived hungry and left with very happy tummies and enough food in our bellies to question all of our life choices on the drive home. Had enough leftovers for plenty of meals to miss it just a bit more~ Inside/Outside - 5/5 Rustic Spoon is on the smaller side, but in a good way. It has that cozy neighborhood restaurant feel where you can tell people are coming back again and again. Today was insanely hot so we opted to eat inside. But I'm sure the outside patio is quite nice in more temperate weather. Parking was easier than expected. There is metered parking nearby and additional parking right behind the restaurant, which took away the usual Toluca Lake parking stress. Customer Service - 5/5 Customer service was gr20. Our server was not only attentive but also pretty hilarious. The entire staff seemed genuinely happy to be there and regularly checked in on us throughout the meal. Drinks stayed filled, food arrived quickly, and everyone had a great sense of humor. Good folks all around. Food & Dranks - 5/5 Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. We started with the Papaya Salad, which had a great balance of freshness, crunch, and flavor. It was a perfect way to kick off the meal. To drink, I ordered the Pomegranate Iced Tea which was incredibly refreshing. Not overly sweet and exactly what I wanted on a HOT evening. For the mains, we shared the Pad Thai, Crispy Fried Chicken, and Khow Soi. The Pad Thai was packed with flavor and had plenty of ingredients throughout. The Crispy Fried Chicken lived up to its name with a great crunch while still staying juicy inside. The standout for me was the Khow Soi. Rich, comforting, and loaded with flavor. One of those dishes where you keep saying "just one more bite" until the bowl mysteriously disappears. What really stood out was the portion sizes. Prices initially looked a little higher than some nearby spots, but once the food arrived it all made sense. Plenty of food, fresh ingredients, and enough leftovers to make the value feel well worth it. TL;DR - Overall: 5/5 - Cozy neighborhood spot with a welcoming vibe - Covered patio is probably great to sit when not so hot - Metered parking nearby plus parking behind the restaurant - Funny, attentive, and personable staff - Papaya Salad was fresh and flavorful - Pomegranate Iced Tea was super refreshing - Pad Thai, Crispy Fried Chicken, and Khow Soi were all fantastic -Large portions that justify the price - Good peoples, delicious food, happy tummies - Will definitely be back to explore more of the menu

My friend was craving ramen and found RedWhite because of its high Yelp ratings, which sounded good…read moreto me. What he apparently did not notice during this research phase was one fairly major detail: the entire restaurant is vegan. Once he realized it, there was a definite moment of hesitation. I was more in the camp of, "Well, you brought us here. We're committed now." Thankfully, his accidental vegan ramen selection turned out to be a very good one. The space is compact and dimly lit, with dark walls, simple wood tables, and a warm glow throughout. It was packed when we went, which gave the room a lively energy, but it still felt cozy rather than chaotic. Once the bowls arrived, any skepticism disappeared pretty quickly. The broth was much richer and more flavorful than either of us expected, with that creamy, savory quality you want from a comforting bowl of ramen. We both finished ours. I had the No. 9 Truffle Salt Ramen and added fried dumplings to mine. The dumplings gave the bowl a nice crispy contrast, and the truffle flavor came through without overpowering everything else. The funniest part is that neither of us walked in specifically looking for vegan ramen. We just wanted a good bowl of ramen, and that's exactly what we got. Parking is available in the shared plaza lot, but keep in mind those spaces are shared with the neighboring businesses. Street parking is another option if the lot is full. My friend may not have realized he was taking us for vegan ramen, but I'm giving him full credit for the accidental discovery.

The staff is friendly, service is fast, and the whole menu is vegan. Although some may consider…read morethis to be a unique dining experience, and probably intended for our fellow vegetarians and vegans, unfortunately this restaurant is not for me. I am not vegan, nor am I opposed to trying new vegan spots, but this one was doing the most. The menu is so simple, yet so elaborate with the different flavored soups you can choose. I tried the No. 8 red hot miso signature ramen bowl. Signature ramen bowls came with corn, dumpling, arugula, ginger tofu scramble, noodles, and crispy onion. I think warm arugula was not for me, and the tofu scramble was way too much since the broth was already so rich. The signature priced at $23. The broth is very thick, heavy, and overpowering. The broth is so rich and thick that I could not even finish the bowl without getting so tired of it halfway. The flavors were very interesting. There was a smoky hint and smell throughout the restaurant, and I was not the biggest fan of it. Once the bowl of ramen is ready, they put this glass lid on time and wait a certain time until they walk it out. My cousin tried the mac and cheese, and that was delicious. The truffle taste is very present and lingered the entire night - forewarning. Inside the restaurant was unique house music playing loudly and it was dark. It was giving mysterious dining. For presentation and creativity, this place gets a 10/10. I do not think I will be returning. Additional suggestion: having meat alternative options to add to the bowl. Parking is terrible in the small plaza and it is difficult to find parking on Ventura Blvd.

Came here on a weekend and luckily only waited about 15 mins before getting seated…read more Here is what we ordered: - Spicy tomato with sausages 5/5 this one was so flavorful, first time ordering a dish like this for brunch. I would highly recommend it, super delicious and it also came with bread for you to dip it in the tomato soup. The only thing I'd change (this is just personal preference) is to skip the cream cheese. I didn't think that went well with the rest of the dish, but you can just leave it aside - Waffleena with rosemary potatoes 5/5 another winner here, it may seem like a simple brunch dish because it's really just waffles and berries. True, but the waffles, even after 10 mins, were still soft, fluffy and yummy. I really enjoyed it all! - We also ordered a Spanish Latte and a Smores Latte, which I wouldn't recommend. Nothing out of the ordinary, I'd say their forte is the food :) Definitely can't wait to go back and try other dishes!

My husband and I visited Aeirloom Bakery for breakfast while in Burbank last week…read more The inside was cozy with plenty of tables inside and outside. There were also seats available at a bar area. We ordered a Bloody Mary, a Roasted S'mores Latte, a Sunny Sandwich and the English Salmon. The drinks were great and I enjoyed the English Salmon especially the Hollandaise on top. My husband enjoyed his Sunny Sandwich as well, but you definitely need a knife and fork to eat it. Overall, service was great. Our server checked on us a few times and kept our water glasses full. Aeirloom Bakery prides itself on all organic ingredients so it is a great option for a good healthy breakfast! I wish I would have checked out their pastries, but we were so full from our meals. Check them out!

My criteria was location, highly rated food, private dining room (since it difficult for dad to hear well), able to accommodate 17 people, not crazy expensive, and they needed to have fairly soft food (not a steak house). Sounds easy, right? Well, Prosecco popped up as an option and I started calling. Eric, their long time GM, handled call after call from me. He graciously, and humorously, answered calls about their menu, bringing our own cake, parking, seating count changes (ended up with 13), getting in early, room size, etc. We felt so welcomed. Emily served us and was amazing all evening. She handled special order requests, made suggestions, took photos, and kept a great sense of humor. Lots of appetizers like watermelon caprese salad, garlic bread, bruschetta, meatballs. Main courses from salmon, to mushroom rigatoni, ravioli, cioppino and misto mare (shellfish over linguini). Just delicious. We were allowed to bring in our own sheet cake with a nominal cutting charge. Lots of prosecco, Chianti and Pinot Grigio left us well lubricated. Simply amazing evening, and my dad had the best time of all.
