Really good cacio pepe but pricing and quantity did not add up. That chicken + cacio pepe cost me $75... that pricing is outrageous. i have never paid that much for a cacio pepe and that chicken is like kids size. I left still hungry.

Cecconi's in West Hollywood is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant has an open, elegant atmosphere filled with gorgeous natural light. The huge wraparound bar is especially impressive, and the dining area feels bright, spacious, and inviting. I enjoyed an Eastern Standard made with gin and the ahi tuna tartare--both were delicious and beautifully presented. It's the perfect place to enjoy great food and cocktails in a stylish yet relaxing setting. I will definitely be back!

Super cute restaurant with a nice patio for outdoor dining. They had shade during the day and heaters and blankets for nighttime dining. Service was superb and the menu had plenty of options including vegetarian. The Bolognase was delicious and was big enough for 2 servings and we loved the whipped ricotta!

Nice dark and romantic atmosphere. The crowd is hyped and vibey. Our server and the rest of the staff was super nice and friendly. We ordered a few different dishes and they did not disappoint. The squash blossoms were fresh and filled with nice goat cheese. The steak tartare was delicious and fresh. The pizza was thin crust and has a good smoky taste. All the other sides and including the dessert was delicious. I definitely recommend this place. Valet can be full sometimes but drakes valet across the street can take the car.

Dessert Menu
Rachel L.

Great classy vibe, semi-sophisticated spot Starting out strong with the two appetisers, they are both more of a small plate to share. Grilled Octopus (8.6/10): This octopus is well-seasoned with salt. The meat is so tender, has a nice char taste to it. Not flimsy, you can actually chew on it. The peppers pair nicely with it, even tho it's kinda hard to pick up the slices with the fork & knife. Maybe if it's in square or triangle shape would be better in my opinion. Hamachi Crudo (8.3/10): This dish is quite delightful and delicious to start off the meal with. It has a lot of sauce, the passion fruit/mango sauce compliments the hamachi and the avocado a lot. Everything is well-balanced, even with a Serrano it would be even more playful with that extra crunch and kick. It's a very joyful dish to have. Not too messy to eat, it's easy to pick up. Looking forward to try their beef tartare if I ever come back. Black truffle, zucchini blossom, goat cheese (7.8-8): I love the dough and the crust, that's like the soul of a pizza. It's made in wood oven, so it has that charcoal taste and it's burnt in the right way yet not too bitter or hard. The truffle pizza tasted like it has goat cheese inside, I asked for crushed red pepper and it tasted better with it. It's a rather plain pizza, I prefer pizza with meat better but the crust is good. Looking forward to try an equivalent of Diavola in here. Branzino, spinach, tomatoes, peppers, olives (9/10): Portion is on the smaller side, you can definitely finish it on your own as a main course without sharing. Love the detail on the cheese cloth wrapping the lemon. Love the spinach beneath the fish, it soaked up the lemon juice if you use the lemon as garnish (optional). The spinach is not slippery (like most spinach dish?), fish is tender, not hard to eat. Great! Tagliatelle, beef and pork bolognese (8/10): Great, not fantastic or exquisite. It's yummy but no wow factor, love the pasta texture, it's a little bit over al-dante which blends in with the mince meat more. Every bite the pasta and the beef compliments each other because of the softer pasta texture. Tiramisu (8.5/10): Yummy! SERVICE This is an upscale restaurant, our server Sophia understands the menu well. Even though we made reservations we didn't got seated immediately. The service is not bad, good not amazing great. Portions are on the smaller side except for the pizza, alcohol is not watered down mediocre restaurant drink (their cocktails are pretty decent). Cocktails are quite decent too, presentation is decent. Would come back even just for the bar, love the ambience

Burrata and zucchini fries
Shane A.

Cecconi's continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. The courtyard patio is effortlessly beautiful, with twinkling lights, lush greenery, and an atmosphere that's both lively and romantic. It's the perfect setting for a date night or a leisurely dinner with friends. We started with the burrata, and it was exceptional. The creamy burrata paired beautifully with sweet tomatoes, fresh basil, and high-quality olive oil. It's a simple dish, but when the ingredients are this fresh, it doesn't need anything else. Next came the zucchini fries, which were a pleasant surprise. Light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, they were addictive without feeling heavy. Paired with the dipping sauce, they quickly became one of the highlights of the meal. For the main course, we ordered the spicy salami pizza, and it absolutely delivered. The wood-fired crust had the perfect chew with just the right amount of char around the edges. The spicy salami added a nice kick without overpowering the pizza, while the fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce created the perfect balance of rich, fresh, and savory flavors. Every bite reminded me why Cecconi's is known for its Italian classics. The cocktails were beautifully crafted, and the service was polished, attentive, and never intrusive. Even on a busy evening, everything flowed seamlessly. Cecconi's is one of those places that consistently lives up to its reputation. Great food, beautiful ambiance, and exceptional service make it a restaurant I find myself returning to again and again. Pro tip: Start with the burrata, order the zucchini fries for the table, and don't miss the spicy salami pizza. If you're dining on the patio in the evening, it's one of the most charming outdoor dining experiences in Weho :)

Brunch at Cecconi's: smoked salmon with avocado
Stuart B.

Wonderful place for brunch. It's a really good idea to have a reservation in advance because it's popular. I reserved via OpenTable. Trendy and can be a bit of scene with a chic vibe but very chill. Ladies (and some men) who lunch and brunch with friends crowd. I had a birthday lunch here once and it's a great place to celebrate a special event with friends. You can relax and talk out loud as the restaurant has a fun and animated social atmosphere, which is nice with a group. Good service. They make excellent pizza. The dish I really love on the brunch menu is the "Green Eggs" with avocado, spinach and pesto...which always makes me smile because it reminds me of Dr. Seuss and his character Sam in "Green Eggs With Ham". My favorite dessert was their fabulous Pavlova, but it's no longer offered. The Meyer Lemon Meringata is a great substitute.

Bolognese tagliatelle
Steve G.

Reserved a lunch table for three on the patio. Valet was easy, hostess was welcoming & professional. Table was ready as promised. Patio has a relaxing, European vibe with marble tables & Paris cafe chairs. Service was friendly and upscale. They proactively refill drinks and bring clean silverware when they clear plates. Had the burrata appetizer (be sure to also order the bread basket). It was excellent! Had the bolognese tagliatelle and a prosciutto pizza. The ingredients were very fresh and the food was well prepared. The prices are not cheap, but it was worth it. The restaurant and bathrooms were spotlessly clean.

Went for a friends birthday dinner and it was actually super cute! The temperature inside was PERFECT, it's January and freezing outside but we had dresses on and were able to take out jackets off and be comfortable, which is SO appreciated first off. It's a bit pricey here, but we ordered a variety of courses and everything was INCREDIBLE! This place is so chic, classy, old money, if you get the vibe. Super instagram worthy and a great place to get cute dinner pics, and show off your outfits. The service was top notch by all the gentlemen we interacted with. The manager maybe or just a stranger in a suit came by and checked in, which was kind also. Literally every single thing ordered was beyond delicious, ricotta toast, squash blossom, all the truffle options, truffle pasta, truffle pizza, the steak, bread service, it was spot on. I'll be back. Thank you Cecconi's! Please don't skip this spot if you're a foodie .

Warm and welcoming greetings the minute we arrived.
Liz L.

There is such a wide and deep range of places to try in the greater Los Angeles area that it is possible to get endless 5-star experiences from diners to ballrooms. I like all types of places as long as they are clean and the food is good. But, isn't it nice to add an upscale elegant environment? One where you feel appropriate dressing up just a bit, even in laid back SoCal? Cecconi's ticks all the boxes for me. The place is beautiful, inside and out, secluded (see my photos), appointed with an eye to refinements (again, the photos), with a balanced menu that gives both carnivores and herbivores plenty to choose from. With easy parking and reasonable prices. Oh, and available on Sunday afternoons, my favorite time to eat out. Even on what could be described as a dreary, rainy day, the place was packed. The service was top-notch too. Nicco and Paolo waited on us cheefully, discreetly and expertly. The dishes looked decorative and imaginative and the portions were ample, so we were able to take a lot home for another meal -- I love that. See what we had in my pictures. Everything we ordered was delicious, perfectly prepared, and served at the ideal temperature. Most of all, I truly enjoyed seeing the WeHo/BH crowd in glittering attire, amid the t-shirts and jeans that seem to plague our times. C'mon people, don't you want an excuse to wear your diamonds and pearls once in awhile? You can do it and blend in at Cecconi's, truly a local treasure. It was a festive meal that I am sure we will want to repeat soon.

Sausage pizza
Clarissa A.

An LA institution for years it also has been so many years since I've last gone to Cecconi's and it's nice to see it's still a great place to pick up a solid Italian meal (especially after a concert at the Troubadour on a weeknight if it gets out on time!). We ordered the squash blossoms, the tuna tartare and a spicy meat pizza all of which were great. The panna cotta - a revelation. So creamy and smooth with the right amount of texture. Perfectly paired with strawberry. Great service overall. Attentive and helpful in ordering making sure food came out quickly and fresh but also checked in on us regularly! Valet as there's no lot. Street parking can be tough, watch for signs!

Steak and eggs
Mike A.

I finally tried their brunch. It was a bit crowded but I was able to make a reservation the same morning. I was pleased to see steak and eggs on the menu. Most brunch places that make it fail, but not Cecconi's! They really know how to elevate the dish. The meat was cooked perfectly and was well seasoned. The burrata was also great, can't go wrong with it.

Cate T.

Wow what a great restaurant. I was so pleasantly surprised with the decor, service, outdoor seating, and food! I had such a delicious lunch here - everything was spectacular. The whipped ricotta was OUTSTANDING. I wanted to drink it. The special lunch of the day - mortadella and chilled tomato soup - was so so delicious. The fried artichokes were also delicious, as was the chicken milanese. The burrata starter was the only forgettable item. The service was also fantastic. This food was so good - happy to have had such amazing italian in LA!

Ask the Community - Cecconi's West Hollywood

What are the hours for brunch on Sunday?

Do they have a full brunch buffet on Sunday's like the Four Season used to have?

Cecconi's offers a brunch menu on weekends; however, it is à la carte rather than a buffet. Patrons can choose from a variety of Italian-inspired brunch dishes, but a full buffet is not provided.

Is there a Happy Hour menu? TIme?

Yes best happy hour in town!

Do they still offer the full English breakfast?

Yes they do

Are they making you show vax card still?

No not anymore I was just there on Sunday

Dress code? T-shirt and shorts ok?

This really isn't a 'casual place' like that. I would call to confirm you could wear shorts (I would think on the patio is ok...) and maybe a shirt with a collar. This is more upscale.

We need reservations?

They can be pretty packed, especially on weekends - so reservations are 100% recommended. The bar has limited seating

Do you still offer the English breakfast?

When will they reopen and why are they closed? They have been closed since Dec 5th 2021. As of Jan 4th 2022 they are closed (i live in the neighborhood and verified this today it also says on their website they are closed)

They are open again, I was there a few weeks ago Just need vaccine proof

Anyone knows the safety measures they are taking for outdoor dining during the pandemic?

Is this restaurant dog friendly?

Yes on the patio

Are the items under the "Plant Based" section vegan even though they don't have the "pb" next to them? I'm assuming so but just want to double check. Thank you so much!

Yes they are

Do they have Vegan options?

Hi Annette! Thanks for getting in touch. Yes, at Cecconi's we have several plant-based dishes and they are indicated on our menus with the notation "pb." All menus are on our website if you'd like to take a look. Hope to see you soon!

The phone number doesn't work?

Hi, Sorry about this! Our IT team is working to sort this problem as soon as possible. In the… 

I got a dinner reservation here for a group of 10 on Saturday night. I've never been here on my travels to LA and wondered if someone can tell me how nice/hip this place is? Hoping for not only good food but good vibe/atmosphere?

Super hip and trendy. The place is packed on the weekends.

My husband has type 1 diabetes so we very rarely eat at Italian ristorantes. Chef Tara has helped us rediscover a new world of flavor without negative impacts on my husband's blood sugar and cholesterol. (Thanks for the variety of non-dairy cheeses!!) Tip for first-timers: go when you can have the brunch or the lunch menu. Then you'll have so many options that you'll have to return! Round 1 Polpettine (meatballs) are made from lentils and texture similar to the real ones; lovely marinara sauce and ground macadamia nut instead of parmesan. Complement this with the citrus notes that highlight the sauteed swiss chard with earthy Italian butter / gigante beans. Round 2 The same beans are in the Greek goddess salad: rich with tomatoes, kalamata olives, and fresh red onions. This was a visually stunning and paired well with the Sicilian almond 'tuna' melt. The tuna is by far the most imaginative. Again, Chef Tara and the back of the house nailed the texture and I loved the hints of crunchy celery. The capers injected tiny bursts of salt and tartness. The only moderation I'd consider is slightly crisping / toasting the sandwich bread -- but the tuna melt sando is great as it is. Pura Vida is a diamond in the rough especially because the storefront is pretty discreet. I sure wish that we lived closer. We'll be back for special occasions in our life!

Ruined a Birthday & Zero Accountability: Disastrous Service…read more I am absolutely furious with the appalling service and complete lack of professionalism at Jones Hollywood. Two weeks ago, I called and made a reservation for my girlfriend's birthday. It was the place she named as really wanting to go. Earlier this week, I even received a confirmation call, which I answered and confirmed. Yet, when we arrived, we were told our name wasn't on the list. Even after I showed explicit proof of the confirmation, the staff didn't offer a single apology. Instead, the host rudely told me they would put me at the "top of the list" and would only seat us if someone else with a reservation failed to show up. When I rightfully pointed out that we already had a confirmed reservation, I was met with a dismissive, "We can't do anything." It is one thing for a restaurant to completely screw up their reservation system, but it is another thing entirely to be aggressively rude and unapologetic to paying customers celebrating a special occasion. They completely ruined my girlfriend's birthday dinner and treated us like we were the problem. Avoid this place if you actually want your reservation honored or expect even a baseline level of human decency from the staff. Absolutely pathetic.

For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here! The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!

The restaurant was beautifully designed and the decor looked amazing. My server was attentive and made sure my water glass remained filled throughout my entire meal. However, something I did find a bit strange was when presented with the check the dishes were unreadable but the prices weren't.

I never feel like a customer at Osteria La Buca -- I always feel like a guest, and that means a lot.

Their Carbonara for example, is made properly, without cream, peas, or the other abominations that many restaurants add. "Other restaurants = Take lessons. The ricotta with agave is a lovely Italian Mexican wedding, the pizzas are tasty and so many other dishes are consistently fantastic.

Grazie, Osteria La Buca. Cheers!

The stunning Italian inspired design, beautiful ambiance, and attention to detail make this restaurant truly special. The food was absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed the pappardelle, fish, and steak, and every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. The cocktails were equally amazing! The staff was wonderful, warm, attentive, and welcoming, making the entire evening even more enjoyable. Alba is the perfect spot for a romantic date night or a fabulous evening out with friends. Beautiful surroundings, delicious food, incredible cocktails, and exceptional hospitality. What more could you ask for? A solid 10/10 experience! I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

Just as impressive was the service. It was engaged and attentive without being stuffy, and never so hovering that it became an annoyance. Chef Adam deserves real credit. He took a simple, focused menu and elevated every dish through careful preparation, quality ingredients, and a masterful blend of spices. We will be back.
