    Stopped by to celebrate a birthday, and decided this is one of my top five favorite restaurants in SGV. Ordered the steak with added grilled shrimp, salmon with butternut squash risotto and bolognese - delicious! Had the lemon cake with birthday gelato for dessert - yummy! Service is excellent - love this place.

    One of my regular spots! The food is always so delicious. Fresh pasta, juicy steaks, great beer list... what else would you want! Would definitely recommend for a date night.

    New Year's Eve Special for 12/31/24

    3.5 stars. Came here for a work dinner on a Saturday at 7pm, the restaurant was 75% full. They had really cute Xmas decor and the ambiance was nice. A great place for a date. I wouldn't recommend for a work dinner though. Although we were a party of 12 and got charged the large party service charge, we had to flag our server to take our orders and it took so long we decided to order drinks, appetizers, and our mains all at once. - Bruschetta: 7/10, it's my favorite app and I was sad to say I was disappointed as it had an overwhelming amount of sauce. I'm used to simple and fresh bruschetta so this was not my cup of tea - Cesar salad: 10/10, really crisp and delicious, not heavy on the sauce, would definitely get again - arugula salad: 9/10 my table mate got this and I tried a bite, it was good! - bolognese Rigatoni: 8/10, not too heavy, but unfortunately was quite soft in texture and not al dente - you can add scallops to your pasta for $15, 4 large pieces cooked deliciously and totally worth it. - cacio e Pepe: 5/10, my table mate got it and I tried a bite, we were both surprised by the choice of pasta, as it was too thick and also overcooked. So glad I didn't order it, because I was debating between order the cacio e Pepe vs the bolognese Rigatoni Parking: It's in the happening part of Whittier so street parking, which is tough. There's a parking garage 2-3 streets down that I found luck parking in

    We had a party of 10 @ 6pm on a Saturday for two birthdays. The ambiance with the christmas decor was beautiful and warm! The host sat us immediately and our server was quick to our service. He is definitely a hustler and sweet. The food was just as good as I remember. My main dish was the King Salmon, it had a perfectly crisp skin and the puree with risotto was amazing -- the tastes and texture. Get the caesar salad as a refreshment. My boyfriend and I were given ice cream for our birthdays and we ordered the lemon cake. Absolutely delicious. The owner is awesome. He checks on his customers and I think that goes to show how great of a restaurant this is and how much passion goes into this food.

    Food was great! Fresh & exactly as described. Fairly priced. Only beer & wine! Just in case you're looking for a cocktail, this isn't the place. Felt like the music didn't fit the vibe of the restaurant... but, it was a great date spot. Is definitely a place to check out if you're in uptown Whittier!

    Butter cake
    Lillian D.

    This is an overdue review but very necessary. We went out to dinner on a Sunday evening in uptown and decided to try this Italian place. It was surprisingly very quiet for a Sunday dinner. Luis was our server and he was so kind and attentive the entire time without making us feel like he was hovering which I love. Everything we had was incredibly delicious. We started with the Arancini and a Caesar salad as an appetizer, unfortunately we ate them too quickly to remember to take a picture. The arancini was crispy on the outside, creamy risotto on the inside and the sauce it's served with was amazing. I ordered the bucatini and added shrimp, pasta was al dente and the shrimp nicely cooked and flavorful. My husband is a huge fan of homemade gnocchi but it's hard to find places that make them perfectly. His were perfect! Soft, pillowy, just the right amount of sauce and definitely made with love. We decided to not finish our dinner so that we could try out their desserts and because we couldn't decide between the butter cake or tiramisu we got both :) and we ate everything. The tiramisu ladyfingers were nicely soaked but not too heavy, the butter cake was moist and overall it was a spectacular meal. Can't wait to come back again and try out the rest of the menu!

    My family and I, spent our Mother's Day Brunch here. No regular menu is provided, they have the Four-Coarse Meal for $65. I parked across the street. The service is great as well as the foods. We enjoyed our Mother's Day here.

    Main entrance and beautiful brick building at night.
    Mike W.

    First visit and had an excellent experience. We had met the owners at a Yelp event a couple months back, and loved their meatballs so much I made a note to visit the restaurant asap. It's located in a beautiful brick building and the décor is fancy/casual. There's primarily on street parking, with city/private lots nearby. SERVICE: Excellent. When I asked about the elevator, the hostess told me that it was out of order, but she followed me outside and assisted us with getting my elderly mother-in-law up the many steps from the street. Once seated, Leo waited on us, and he couldn't have been better. The entire waitstaff worked very well together. FOOD & DRINKS: OMG...so delicious! We started by sharing the Arancini appetizer ($14) which was a first-ever for me and it fabulous. For entrées, we ordered the Striped Sea Bass Special ($40), the Rigatoni Bolognese ($25) and added two meatballs (+$10), and the Guanciale Wrapped Prawns ($20). Everything had so much flavor and was prepared perfectly. I'm not a big fish fan, but that Striped Bass was fantastic. We finished off the evening by sharing the Lemon Butter Cake ($12) and an Affogato al Caffe ($8). Currently, they only have beer and wine, but I heard that they are seeking a liquor license so that cocktails will be available in the future. TIP: We brought our own bottle of wine and there was a $25 corkage fee, which is reasonable compared to many other places. My one negative comment would be that there are a lot of steps from street level up to the restaurant, and the elevator was not working. They did mention that they have a rear entrance which is accessible from an alley, and we could have used this for my 91-year-old mother-in-law. She chose to do the exercise and take the steps. Overall, a fantastic place with very good food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend you give them a try.

    Vanilla bean ice cream with pistachios and berries
    Anita G.

    I have to start by giving a shout out to the hostess. I wish I knew her name but we had reservations at 8:00, they were kind to move them up to 8:30 but when we arrived she was very apologetic that she didn't have a clean table, they were short staffed but sat us down near the bar and they helped us right away with drinks while we waited. I got a chance to look around. The restaurant looks like you're walking into a beautiful big house, it has an open floor plan with simple pretty decor. I like that you can see the cooks in the kitchen. The kitchen is beautiful and looks clean. I didn't like our seating, we were sat in a side room with less ambiance and decor. There was a large party that was loud with screaming kids but that's not the restaurants fault. We waited for awhile before we flagged a gentleman to take our order. He was very sweet and I think he realized service was very slow because he was checking on us frequently and even brought us a cup of vanilla bean ice cream with pistachios and berries. We ordered the prime rib and pasta. The prime rib was excellent. Cooked to perfection. The pasta was cold when it came out and didn't have enough sauce. The gentleman asked if he can take it back to the kitchen and make a new one. However, we waited too long and didn't want to inconvenience the kitchen. This restaurant does not serve any bread or sides with their plates. Keep that in mind when ordering. I would like to return and try something else on the menu. Also, I would request to sit on the other side of the restaurant.

    This cozy little Italian restaurant is located in uptown Whittier. The patio was so cute and intimate. But we had to move indoors because of the mosquitoes, hubby and I are very sensitive to mosquito bites. The menu was classic Italian dishes, a lot of good choices. We started off with bottle of white and shrimp appetizer. For entrees we had bolognese and whole Branzino, also side of risotto. A clam pizza to go as lunch for the next day. For desserts we had lemon butter cake and espresso shot. The food was surprisingly delicious in healthy portions. I especially liked the Branzino fish and risotto. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive the entire time. What a great Italian restaurant in the neighborhood! We will definitely visit again soon!

    Bucatini Cacio e Pepe with truffle.
    Nari M.

    Exceeded my expectations. We ordered the 1. Bucatini Cacio e Pepe Bechamel was perfect in consistency and flavor. The truffle waa worth the additional price, gave it a nutty accent. 2. Lasagna Al Forno I only had a bite, but was very flavorful and not greasy. 3. The Argugula and Pistachio salad I personally love this salad but if you do not like arugula don't bother. It had candied cranberry, pistachio, and purple cabbage, with a lemon vinaigrette. The candied cranberry was thin, sweet/tart and crisp. 4. Mini Cannolis - perfect with coffee 5. Latte & Americano - the americano was strong, but tasty. The table water was room temperature but to my suprise it was good. No funky flavors or weird smells. I usually don't drink retaurant water but I am pretty sure theirs is well filtered or possibly bottled. The service was attentive. Expensive but worth it. I fux wit it.

    This was our first time at Four Brick by La Crosta, and we had high expectations--the restaurant smelled amazing when we walked in! Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to that first impression. We started with the Arancini, which was good--the sauce was flavorful, and the texture was nice and crispy. No complaints there. For mains, my boyfriend ordered the King Salmon Risotto, and I got the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe with Shrimp. The salmon had a beautifully crispy skin, but the fish itself lacked seasoning--especially salt--and the risotto was bland. My Bucatini was a bit of a letdown as well. The pasta was gummy, and the shrimp was overcooked and dry. As for the ambiance, the restaurant is nicely designed, but the layout feels a little disjointed, like you're sitting in multiple separate spaces rather than one cohesive dining area. The lighting was also inconsistent--most of the restaurant had a nice, soft glow, but in some areas, the lighting was harsh. Unfortunately, we were seated in one of the harshly lit spots, which took away from the cozy vibe. For what we paid, the meal should have been much better. Our total for two entrées and one appetizer was $99.23, and at that price point, we expected more flavor and better execution. Overall, I'd say the restaurant is overpriced, the food is mediocre, and I don't think I'll be back.

    A Hidden Gem for Italian Food Lovers! We recently discovered this little spot and absolutely fell in love with it. The food is delicious, the ambiance is cozy and welcoming, and every dish we tried was outstanding. You can really taste the quality and care in each bite. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back again!
