Made reservations for my brother's birthday. There was street parking right up front since the parking garage was closed. The waiter and staff were attentive and our food came out promptly. I enjoyed all the dishes and the deserts were really good. I really enjoyed the strawberry bread pudding. My only wish is that they had lasagna. But there's plenty of pizza and pasta options to choose from.

I had an excellent experience ordering take-out from Jon and Vinny's. They have a take-out window but it was closed so I went inside and was helped by the manager Liliana who was so helpful and kind. I told her i was looking for a vegetarian pasta. Luckily, there were lots of options for me. I chose the spaghetti with heirloom tomato, basil, olive oil, and parm. I also got a piece of banana bread. As I waited for my order I looked around the restaurant. It has a modern, refreshing white aesthetic. There's an open kitchen. Something I very much appreciate. The tables also have placemats with cartoons and they bring crayons for coloring which is super fun. They also have a kids menu. They serve wine, coffee, tea, and lemonade. The restaurant has some outside seating adjacent to the sidewalk and there's a shade they can pull down for you if there's too much sun. My spaghetti was so good! The heirloom tomatoes make a very sweet sauce. I could taste the quality and freshness of the simple ingredients. I want to go back and get it again. The banana bread was also good. It's plain and simple. There are no nuts. It was served with a side of butter. It was an unexpected offering at an Italian restaurant but I'm so happy it was suggested to me and I got try it. Would love to come back again and try more offerings. Nice to know they have breakfast here in the mornings as well as lunch and dinner. Street parking and public lots nearby.

Delicious food and a great atmosphere! The lemon pasta was creamy and full of fresh flavor, and the Caesar salad was crisp and perfectly dressed. We also loved the buffalo wings. Friendly service and a fun vibe. We'll definitely be back!

warm strawberry bread pudding

This is such a great find totally a very pleasant experience from the start to the end . Their hostess was pleasant gave us very cool and comfortable sitting. And our server Kevin was the best . He was spot on his recommendations and so personable . Food was excellent. The pasta we ordered was delicious I think what would make it perfect was to combine the ingredients/ sauce with freshly made pasta. The meatballs we had was really tasty . The strawberry bread pudding was yummy a bit eggy but it worked the flavors work together . Love the pizza boxes all stacked together as their decor . They had this cute table mats that guests could color while waiting which was fun I think it would be a great idea if guest would get a little price for a job well done a free cookie or something . Overall it was a nice dinner ! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back !

Other locations are much better. Ordered direct via phone for pickup and was told 30 minutes. It actually took 55 minutes and at least 10 door dash drivers came and left in the time I was waiting. I think they prioritize those orders over their own as another phone order was waiting much longer with me. Food here is good but hate that you tip before finding out your take out will take almost twice the time expected. For the cost of this I expect a bit better on expectations/service.

I've had take out from John & Vinny's before but this was my first time dining in. The Beverly Hills restaurant is small - 55 max capacity inside and a few tables out on the front patio. I came here with co-workers to celebrate a birthday. Thankfully, we made reservations because the place was packed. When you're seated, they place a cup of crayons on the table so you can color your placemat. Each one is different. Mine was a comic series. Too much to color but my co-worker got creative with hers. We were a party of four, so we decided to order family style. Our server Evan K was friendly and accommodating. Our meal choices consisted of: Gem Lettuce Salad with Calabrian Dressing, Eggplant Parmesan, Point Judith Fried Calamari, Brooklyn Dodger Pizza, Bronx Bomber Pizza, & Spicy Fusilli Pasta. I also ordered a glass of the Lambrusco - a crisp sparkling red from Italy. One thing about John & Vinny's is that the food is consistently good. The pizzas are thin crust but sturdy enough to hold the toppings. I really liked the Brooklyn Dodger. The salad was very tasty as was the calamari. The Spicy Fusilli Pasta could have used a bit more spiciness and a tad more cooking time. It was a bit firm (not al dente). Being Sicilian, my all-time favorite dish is Eggplant Parmesan, and I'm overly critical about how it is prepared. I have to say, this one was a winner! Chef's kiss. When it was time for dessert Evan brought an Italian Rainbow Cookie for the birthday girl with a candle. My co-workers also shared the Chocolate Chip Cookie (BDay girl's favorite) and the Tiramisu. I was too full to indulge but, they finished every last bite. *50 corkage fee. Limit two bottles.

Yummy and good. Everything leans on smaller portion for the price point, good to order a few and share. We didn't make a reservation for a Sunday night dinner, we waited about 15 mins at the wine bar inside the restaurant. You could get a wine or a beer while waiting, but there are no cocktail selections. The restaurant is a kinda small but cozy and clean. FOOD Gem Lettuce (8.3/10): Love the crunchy flakes on the lettuce, love the texture, not over saucey, quite refreshing. It's done right, recommend. If you like Caesar salad you will like this. Bronx Bomber (9/10): Pizza is my favourite out of this dinner, not soupy. Thin crust yet crispy, meat lovers would love this. Recommend to have a side of chili oil to make it better, or chili flakes to add some kick to it. *8.5 without chili oil* Spicy fusilli (8/10): Yummy vodka sauce and nicely al-Dante, pasta is not overcooked and it's simply delicious. Not too complex, doesn't have a lot of depth or texture. I've had better pastas but this is quite yummy (not memorable, but yummy). Burrata (8/10): Yummy, good to share on the table for a group dinner. I think it's a bit much for me to have more than one piece when there are pasta and pizza, if you love bread and burrata this is a great appetiser since they don't have complimentary bread. OVERALL It's good and nothing to complain about the service, it's a chill spot for dinner and not upscale. Delicious but not exquisite, this is where the 1 star is lacking. But I'd definitely come back for a chill dinner with friends, recommend but don't expect to have a transformational experience.

brooklyn dodger
Claudeen G.

I went for lunch on a Monday and service was relatively fast. There were only a few parties in the restaurant, so we decided to sit outside. The food comes out as it's ready, so don't expect to eat as a group. Luckily, we were sharing so it worked for us. The Brooklyn dodger is a simple pizza but good. The vodka pasta is cooked well and a tad al dente.

Passed by this place numerous times while nearby for doctors visits and decided to stop in. Pleasantly surprised at the whole experience, sad to learn they're only in LA. Would return when i'm around, the menu seems to have so many hits! Food (5/5) - Didn't try a pie despite how good they all sounded, instead started with the ricotta orange blossom honey sesame bruschetta which was SO flavorful, perfectly crispy toast but soft ricotta paired so well with the other flavors. Also tried the freshly made pasta (the bolognese here is the best i've had, rigatoni was cooked perfectly!) as well as the polenta bolognese which impressed me as this isn't a dish i see too often around! Affogato for dessert was just okay, not the best espresso shot pulled for this. Overall great quality and flavors for the price. Service (4/5) - Busy lunch hour, had one really kind fella serving quite a few tables at the same time so we had to wait a bit for a to go box and our dessert, but the vibe was great so we didn't mind too much. Had great recommendations, and the crayons and coloring papers are an excellent touch. Ambiance (5/5) - They really got me here. First place i've been ever that nails "moody lighting, classy, upscale decor, fancy interior design, beautiful open kitchen and bar design", but then the servers are wearing t shirts and there's takeout boxes piled high everywhere like i'm at a local pizzeria for the "casual" vibe. really seals the deal for a good time for any occasion it seems. Love this place!

radiatori pesto and wood grilled chicken
Sherry P.

Not worth the price or hype. Can't even add chicken or protein to the pastas; they don't welcome modifications. $30+ just for a piece of grilled chicken with a slice of tomato and spring mix.. The pesto was good; I think this place is ok, but nothing special.

Beverly Hills outpost of popular LA restaurant. Came here with my family and cousins, and had a table of 8 reserved. They wouldn't seat us earlier so we hung outside while waiting. Indoor and outdoor space available but the place is pretty small. They have takeout/delivery as well. I had the spicy rigatoni which is super popular, and I liked it. I think the pizzas are actually more bang for your buck, and can easily be shared. I liked that they had place settings that you could color in with the crayons provided, so you can indulge your inner child. Service was polite and the food came out as it's ready, so the pastas came out way before the pizzas.

Hunter J.

Tried Jon & Vinny's and honestly... pretty underwhelming for the hype and price. The steak was the biggest letdown. It genuinely tasted like a Jimmy Dean maple breakfast sausage, super sweet and not what you expect at all. The pasta felt like something off a kids menu at Cheesecake Factory. Very basic, nothing special, and definitely not worth it. Only real bright spot was the caprese, which was actually solid and fresh. Overall, just doesn't live up to the reputation. For the price point in LA, you can do way better. I will not be coming back. Highlight of the meal worthy crayons and coloring pages they gave us. HJ

My first time at this location. I sat in the patio area. I ordered the Brooklyn dodger pizza, mozzarella sticks and the rainbow cookies. The Brooklyn dodger had mozzarella, garlic and basil. The pizza had a good sauce and crust had a good undercarriage. It was a very good pizza. The mozzarella sticks were okay. I really liked the dipping sauce.I should have ordered a salad instead The rainbow cookies are tiny. Very cute. Reminded me of New York. Overall a solid place.

Honestly, it worked out perfectly because they had AC and it was HOT in Beverly Hills that day lol. The inside of the restaurant was actually really beautiful too! I loved the decor and the vibe felt way nicer indoors. Looking back, we probably should've just asked to sit inside instead of outside because of the heat The food was oh so so so very good!

HIGHLIGHT of our lunch: my husband and I surprised my mother-in-law with a bouquet of pink roses, so we asked the hostess if they could keep it in their cooler room until the end of lunch.

If it's not during Dine LA, I would likely not come back. Little did we know there was a very obvious explanation for not being full for a Sunday dinner despite the gorgeous patio being perfect for romantic dates. Overall 4 stars: 5 stars for ambiance 4 stars for service 3 stars for food Got the: 1. Toscana (7/10): - This salad was wilted by the time it got to us and not crispy anymore, so we suspect it's been sitting out for a while. - Would've been a 9/10 If it was served fresh 2. Pappardelle Al Tartufo Bianco (+$20 to add lobster pieces) 7/10: - the pasta (9/10) was good, and the doneness was perfect for fresh pasta. - Unfortunately the lobster (4/10) left a lot to be desired. The lobster meat was severely overcooked to the point of being almost rubbery and there were several small shells in the pasta dish. - The waiter must've noticed the pile of shells I made because he whisked away the plate the second I finished so I wasn't able to take a picture. 3. Filet di Manzo (5/10): - the filet was over cooked, which is starting to seem like an overarching theme. We ordered medium RARE and received medium WELL. - This would ordinarily be sent back to the kitchen in any reputable steakhouse, but we gave them a break for not being a steakhouse - the sauce was on the bitter side and this dish was paired with broccoli rabe instead of the advertised spinach so the dish was not balanced at all, just overwhelmingly bitter. Unfortunately this was the worst dish of the night. 4. Il Branzino (7.5/10): - the Branzino fish was not dry but also not moist. I'd say it's pretty typical for Italian cooking, just not flavorful either. It needs a tasty sauce to really add some depth - instead of the advertised zucchini, it came with spinach - It was soft enough for the palate of my grandparents 5. Panna Cotta (9.5/10): - wow, I can't believe the best dishes of the night were the desserts! - Panna cotta was very well balanced with the fruits. Without the fruits and fruit syrup topping, the vanilla bean panna cotta would've be too rich - did not come with the advertised candied rose petals, but this dessert was so well executed that it didn't matter 6. Tiramisu (9/10): - light and fluffy, it was executed well with chocolate shavings on top - a little bitter from the coffee (they advertise that the lady fingers were "lightly dipped in espresso" which my taste buds find hard to believe) but they did have a berry compote on the side to balance it out. - Personally I wish it was not served with berry compote as I believe the advertised mascarpone may been a better pairing Parking: valet only but there's street parking down the street and all around if you're willing to walk up to a block

There are other locations but this I think was the first one and since it was the one I frequented it's the one I will miss. I have so many fond memories of this restaurant. I came here as a little girl with my family because it was casual enough for a well mannered child but fancy enough to please the adults. One time I decided to get into shape. Every time someone asked me out for lunch or dinner I said I wanted to go to Il Fornaio. I would order a bowl of the vegetable soup or vegetarian soup of the day and the Regina Salad. The salad did wild arugula, couscous, avocado, red onions, capers, raisins, and lemon oil dressing. It was a fabulous and filling meal that also kept me skinny. I could honestly eat it every day and never get bored. During Covid I came here and we ate outside on the sidewalk. We enjoyed watching the pedestrian scene and "staying safe" while being able to eat out again. I really missed going out and I felt comfortable here which was important during Covid time. Every Halloween Il Fornaio would have 1/2 price pizza. My family made a tradition to order it. I LOVED this tradition and I'm going to miss it this Halloween. Their pizza was delicious. One time I came here with a boyfriend because they had a cooking class in the back. They had a huge entertainment room in the back of the restaurant. I wish I had a chance to have a special event here to rent it out. We had so much fun as we watched the chef talk about how to prepare each dish and what was even better is that we got to taste it in the end. We ate seabass with golden raisins, baked pasta with eggplant, and a cannoli for dessert. They even had a party souvenir which was an Il Fornaio plate to hang on the wall. Last time I came here was on the Fourth of July last year. It was also dine-la and they had the best deal of any of the dine-la restaurants. Not all the dine-la deals are good but this one truly was one of the best in terms of value for money. It was a three course meal with the most delicious fish entree. Who doesn't love a good deal? We had a fabulous time! Lastly, in recent years they added a happy hour menu to the restaurant and it was fabulous. I did another review on that so I'll keep it short here but the food and drinks were just wonderful. I will miss the friendly waiters who have been there forever. They don't make them like that anymore. Arrivederci to a true "classic"!

What a fantastic night at Mother Wolf!…read more The food was incredible. We ordered the squash blossoms, Cacio e Pepe, Pizza Rossa, and Spaghetti all'Arrabbiata. Everything was delicious, but the Arrabbiata stole the show. Absolutely spectacular. And don't overlook the kale salad. It sounds simple, but it's anything but. The desserts were wonderful too. As good as the food was, the service might have been even better. From the bartenders and servers to the management, everyone was genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive. What I particularly appreciated was how relaxed and welcoming the staff made the whole experience. No attitude, no pretension, just really lovely people who clearly enjoy what they do. We sat in the bar area rather than the main dining room, and I loved it. It was lively and fun, with plenty going on around us. If you prefer a quieter, more intimate dinner, there are some beautiful, cozy booths toward the back of the restaurant. The cocktails were excellent, the food was outstanding, and the staff made an already great dinner even better. We will absolutely be back! Sorry I didn't take any photos. You know you're having a good time when you're not even reaching for your phone.

Hollywood, Los Angeles Roman Italian · California Forks Given: (4.30 / 5.0)…read more Mother Wolf might be the best Italian restaurant in LA that doesn't have Evan Funke's name over the door.

Not one of the best. The best. Diavola: my favorite pizza on the menu and one of the best Neapolitan pizzas in town Cacio e Pepe: al dente, creamy, cheesy, peppery, perfectly balanced Tagliata di Manzo: the ribeye cap that keeps us guessing came through. Lean, salty crust, really good Gamberi in Salsa Verde: fine, but the sauce lacked punch. Not in the same conversation as the prawns at Bavel Panna Cotta di Coco: tart, sweet, great textures. Not Funke's desserts, but very good Burro Fuso: the brown butter came through loud and clear. The date... not so much Bestia fans, this room is more spacious, more grand and a bit quieter.
