It's a cute cafe in the middle of Beverly Hills. Very friendly service! I only got a coffee, didn't try their food. They do have an interesting menu though. They also sell organic made jelly and pasta. I got a macchiato latte and it was ok. I wouldn't come for the coffee. Try their food and iced drinks.
Cute Italian cafe with imported goods for sale. I just got a coffee but would return to try other items. I got a little cookie/biscotti for my first visit, which was a nice touch. They have some seating inside to take a load off. Parking is street or local lot nearby.
My husband and I decided to get some dinner at Castanea Sicilian Cafe. It's a small cafe that is well lit with bright colors and a little bit of seating inside and outside. We walked in and checked out the menu that's posted on the wall. We were then greeted by one of the owners working behind the counter. He told us to let him know if we had any questions about the menu. After finding a place to sit we eventually decided what we wanted. The owner came over and took our order. He then proceeded to offer us bottled still water and bottled sparkling water on him. So we weren't charged for that which was very kind. We ordered Focaccia Sticks, Prosciutto Crudo e Parmigiano Pinsa and a Margherita Pinsa with added Prosciutto. The Focaccia Sticks were hot and airy. They were addictive. The Prosciutto Crudo e Parmigiano Pinsa had Arugula, Prosciutto, Different Cheeses, Cherry Tomatoes, and Sun Dried Tomatoes. I enjoyed the combination of ingredients and liked that you could taste the freshness of the ingredients. It made for a tasty pinsa. The Margherita Pinsa with added Prosciutto was just as delicious. Because we went to eat late and it was before closing the owner also offered us a free pastry to go. We kindly accepted and shared it at our hotel later that night. It was very good. Overall the service was great with a very friendly owner who checked in on us through out our meal. The food was fresh and delicious which provided a very tasty dinner.
Must!! The gelatos: strawberry, pistachio, and stracciatella were exactly what we remembered when traveling throughout Italy. We missed Sicily the most and to see this cafe with quality as an importance was a delight! We also received 2 espressos that also showcased that high standard! Would definitely come back!
Super cute cafe! I took the coffee and espresso class and learned so much! Loved how intimate the class was. We were able to learn about the history of coffee, learn how to make it, and then make it ourselves. Nando was a great teacher!
It is open as of November 16. Cute little cafe with coffee, pastry, savory small plates and appetizers I had the arancini, which hit the spot for a quick mid day snack. The cacio e Pepe was well seasoned, but the spinach was not. Small interior with 2 tables and some outdoor seating.
OBSESSED. Nando is a an absolute dream to work with on catering, you can not find a more considerate or thoughtful food vendor. I catered a small group of what ended up being 22 people people the other day and called Castanea because of the reviews but was deterred by the "Surprise me" option. The owner reassured me by phone of what would be provided and let me tell you that my guests were incredibly delighted. The offerings were scrumptious and excitingly unique. I had a pistachio croissant that had pistachio cream oozing out of all corners, and it was perfectly crispy (how do you do that?!) There were goodies I could not even imagine on the table and a great array of iced drinks. The pizzas looked incredible, but being a nice hostess (ha), I let my guests have at them and there were ooos and ahhs at all corners of the table. Everything was carefully labeled and filled with the most divine yummy options. I think the 6 extra folks who joined us simply came for the treats as they heard whimpers of food joy through the halls. I will definitely be ordering from this company again, they are literally a dream to work with. I highly recommend eating there, ordering catering from there and enjoying the best of Sicily in the States! I am looking forward to visiting again also, like, REALLY looking forward to it! I will see if anyone took pictures, as this one does not do it justice, but you can see the thoughtful labeling. Who does that? Get in there before they get too popular and jaded because these are the NICEST people with the most deliciously sinful treats.
Wow incredible! First time here based on reviews and what a gem! Pinsa, Caprese and focaccia were perfect!!!
Great service and cute store as I need to go back and try the lemon sorbet. They provide indoor and outdoor dining options with a wide array of offerings throughout the day. Had the Italian sandwich which was delicious and fresh and cooked at the spot.
Man of man, where do I start?! This place is phenomenal!!! It all started when my wife and baby were taking a walk in the neighborhood, and she sent me a picture of their storefront knowing how much I love and have a hard time finding Italian food places here in LA. Well technically, Italian food places that I like lol Being an Italian American, born and raised in New York City, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to Italian foods and pastries in LA. So when my family and I came in not too long ago to give them a try, my guard was up lol But our first impression blew me away! The customer service was phenomenal. The young ladies behind the counter was so friendly and patient as my wife and I were deciding on what to get while dealing with our baby running around the store. And then we met the wonderful, generous and sweet owner, Nando. Who on his way out, took the time to introduce himself and chat with my family and I. We instantly connected on being Italian and now in the Los Angeles area. Since then, my family and I have been inside a handful of times ordering and enjoying a handful of mini items. Their Italian coffee is delicious, so much so that I've even started to purchase their espresso for me to enjoy at home. And their cannoli, is a real authentic cannoli. Something I have missed dearly since I've been here in Los Angeles. Even when I have found places that also have real authentic cannolis, there's just something about this that is delicious. It is freshly made and filled to order. How it should be! Although the pastries are fantastic. But honestly speaking, because I'm always honest in my reviews. Some of their pastries are not for everyone. They have pastries that are on the sweeter end, if you are into those and pastries that aren't so much. Including another childhood lifelong favorite Italian pastry of mine called, sfogliatella. I'm not ashamed to admit, the first time I been to this, tears came to my eyes lol This place to me is special, it reminds me of home and my family in so many ways. I can go on and on about how delicious everything is and just how overall fantastic the vibe and energy is when you walk in those doors. But I won't bore you, I'll just highly recommend you stop by for a delicious cup of espresso and something to eat. You won't be disappointed!
Absolutely loved this place! The cannoli with ricotta and the bombolone (a freshly made filled donut) were both outstanding: light, fresh, and not overly sweet, which is rare. You can tell everything is made with care. The vibe is warm and lovely. Highly recommend if you're looking for an authentic Sicilian pastry experience. Will definitely be back!
Amazing food, great service, and such affordable prices! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick even though the place was busy. It's hard to find a spot that offers this level of quality at such reasonable prices. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a delicious meal :)

Charming place! Everything we tried was delicious and clearly baked with love. The pistachio latte is a MUST to try. The ambiance reminded me of our trip to Sicily. The place is not very big, but it's colorful and very cute, with just a couple of tables outside. read more

A true taste of Sicily! I stumbled upon this little gem and instantly fell in love. The coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. And the pistachio gelato... absolutely divine! So creamy, flavorful, and exactly like the one I had in Sicily. What makes it even more special is that it's a family-owned café -- you can truly feel the love and care in everything they do. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of heart. If you're craving an authentic Italian experience, this place is a must. read more

Stopped in for lunch with the kids and had such a great experience! We kicked things off with some refreshing drinks--the iced pistachio latte, iced Nutella latte, and a fun surprise from their secret Beverly Hills menu: the strawberry sorbet Arnold Palmer (perfect for summer!). For food, we shared a fresh salad, Margherita pizza, Caprese sandwich, and tuna sandwich. Everything was delicious, especially the pistachio-flavored items. We were too full for dessert, so we took the pistachio treats to go. Loved the Italian charm of this spot--definitely coming back! read more

Happened to be walking by the Beverly Hills location yesterday and stopped for a classic cannolo. Cannolis are my favorite dessert. I've eaten them all of the world including in Sicily (Catania and Siracusa) where the dessert originates. Overall, Castanea's Sicilian Café made a good version. The ricotta was piped in only after ordering it. The shell remained crunchy and crispy. That said, it was overly sweet. It seems to me that they added additional sugar to the filling. Ricotta is naturally sweet and does not require additional sugar. It is a dessert that emphasizes the crunchy / creamy textures with a mild sweetness. Recommend they reduce their sugar usage. read more

Castanea Café instantly made me feel like I'd stepped into a sunny corner of Sicily. Everything I tried, from the pistachio latte to the bombolone was full of flavor and made with so much care. You can really taste the difference with the imported ingredients. The space is bright and welcoming, and the staff were so warm. Can't wait to go back! read more
