We always order the Spicy Salame Calabrese Tartufato with Italian sausage, it was the first pizza we tried here, and we've never felt the need to order anything else. It's that good. For starters, the olives and the Fried Squash & Mozzarella are both excellent and the perfect way to kick off the meal. If you're visiting for the first time, you really can't go wrong with this order.

Their recommendations were spot on. The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and honestly perfect for a date night. It has such a warm and inviting vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. Unfortunately, we arrived just after the kitchen had closed, but that only gives me another reason to come back. The service was truly top-tier, and the wine was absolutely divine. I even enjoyed both a white and a red during my visit. Normally mixing wines can leave me with a headache the next day, but the bartenders paired everything so thoughtfully that the wines complemented each other beautifully, and I felt great afterward. I can't wait to return and experience both the food and wine together next time. Highly recommend!

The staff (Marie & Ahyoka) were awesome and personable in helping us choose our drinks along with being very helpful in their recommendations for the Loreto restaurant we had reservations for dinner for after. The vibe is pretty cool and it has a bit of a speakeasy type look along with some dark settings that could also fit as a romantic setting.

The two stars reflect our experience with the noise level, service, and especially the amount of smoking around the outdoor dining area. The tables next to us had several people chain-smoking, which was extremely unpleasant while sitting in an area where people are supposed to be eating. I honestly didn't realize smoking was allowed so close to dining tables, and it made it impossible for us to enjoy being there. When we sat down, we were also given only one menu for two people. We considered moving inside, but it was so incredibly loud that having a normal conversation seemed nearly impossible. I would still like to come back and actually try the food, and I'd be happy to update my review based on that experience. Next time, though, I would probably visit on a weekday and sit inside to avoid the smoking and hopefully have a quieter experience.

Honestly, probably one of the worst experiences I've had at a wine bar, which is unfortunate…read morebecause the place itself is really cute. We had reservations for 7pm, and when we arrived, the host immediately let us know it was her first day. She seemed a little flustered, which was understandable. We asked to check out the back patio and ended up choosing a corner table. There were maybe three other tables occupied, so it was pretty empty. Shortly after sitting down, we noticed something black moving through the vines above us.. turned out to be a rat. Another table noticed it too, and they jumped at the sight of it. When our waitress came by, my partner jokingly mentioned that they might have Ratatouille living there. She apologized and told us they'd actually had complaints about this before. She mentioned wanting to get a cat to take care of the problem, which I'm still not sure was a joke or not.. but seemed like a fun idea. Anyways, we laughed it off and decided to stay. Our waitress was genuinely sweet, but the service overall was just awkward. We weren't even given wine menus initially, which is a little strange considering it's a wine bar. We ordered a three-cheese board, two seasonal vodka pastas, and two glasses of wine. The food came out before our drinks, which was a little odd. The pasta itself was incredibly bland. Vodka pasta is one of my favorites, and this genuinely tasted like nothing. We had to ask for salt and pepper. Throughout the evening, different employees repeatedly came very close to our table without saying anything, then walked away. A few even gestured toward our food as if to clear it, even though we were still eating. Mind you, both the cheese board and pasta still had plenty left.. so the whole thing just felt a little strange and uncomfortable rather than welcoming. What sucks is that I was genuinely looking forward to trying more of their menu, especially dessert. But between the rat, the strange behavior from some of the staff, and the food, I just wasn't enjoying myself anymore. Overall, really disappointing. I don't see myself coming back.

The rooftop has a good view of DTLA & there are lots of seats, but the space is kinda of small, but veryyy cute and such a vibe. Thurs is wine night (not sure if it's everyday or just Thursday) but it was so nice. We chatted w the bartender & she mentioned how they do change their menu / wine selections a lot so they have a lot of variety in wine (super cool). My friend and I got 2 white wine and they were delicious - total came out to be about $30. The music was good too, very chill! There was also a pool table in front of the bar where we played for free! Super fun! Will definitely come back (maybe the weekend)

1917 is one of my favorite places for brunch. We have tons of favorites from the menu, but today we…read moreordered the Crème Brûlée French Toast, 1917 Wagyu Steak and Eggs, and Funghi Pizza. The crème brûlée French toast is the best French toast of my life. I am sad when I miss brunch, because I would not be able to order it. It's got the right combination of crème anglaise, chantilly crème, syrup, berries, and walnut crumble. I love that it is not overly sweet where you want to go to the dentist after. I love it. Eggs and sausages have to be ordered separately, but I highly recommend ordering them together with the French toast. Eggs must be scrambled. One of the best scrambled eggs. Chef's kiss when eating them in one bite. We ordered the steak medium-rare and the eggs sunny-side. The Wagyu steak was juicy and tender. I recommend asking for extra chimichurri sauce. We loved the just dunking a piece of the steak with the yolk of the eggs, and piece of potato or carrot into the chimichurri sauce. It was an explosion in the mouth. We have tried all the pizzas, but our favorite is the funghi. We love the truffle sauce. It went really well with wine and even their sparkling rosé. All the food we ate today went well with wine. If you are not into wine, 1917 also offers cocktails. The cocktails had fun names like Permission Slip, Pear Pressure, Out of Office, etc. I recommend the Permission Slip if you like cucumber martinis. I enjoyed the Permission Slip very much. Afterward, you can go inside and have more wine. I always leave with a good time, a full stomach, and tipsy. Our server Bernardo (Bernie) was the best! Bernie was attentive and a good conversationalist. He was an overall swell guy.

SPICED SMOKED SARDINE PATE: They had so many tins that we were a little paralyzed, but we ended up choosing this one and it was delicious! It came with saltine crackers and pickled peppers. The star of the show was really the hot buttered clams, though. SERVICE (5/5): Service was great! They were really helpful with what we should order. TAKEAWAYS: I would definitely come back to Kippered - I want to bring a slightly larger group next time so I can order a bunch of tins!

We tried a yellowfin tartare which was great. I got the pasta which was very good, and my wife got the salmon. Salmon was fresh and great, but the broccolini side was ridiculously salty.

Problem was, it was a pretty substantial portion and my wife would have appreciated it as a main. I loved getting to share the tuna, but if she'd have just ordered that, and not added the salmon, I think we both would've appreciated the experience more. A very good wine list, with some really nice wines by the glass - You don't see that often enough - and limited, but interesting beer. Ample parking, 90 minutes free.
