Absolutely delicious steak and Ribs spot especially for Glatt Kosher! Come hungry is all I can say. The service is great and the ambiance is definitely on the louder side. They have a full bar to complement your rib eye or your vegetarian dish of choice. read more

Beautiful restaurant with comfortable seating and their wait staff is really nice and very on it. I usually love getting the back story of how a restaurant came to be and the history behind it all and one fun fact I believe it's that La Gondola is the first to offer pastrami egg rolls way back when! Everything ordered was beautifully presented and deliciously prepared! This is a must go for anyone and everyone. read more

Ordered Nir's special for $39 and it is a huge portion. Don't overfill yourself with dinner breads. Thus pasta will fill 2-3 people not only because it's a generous portion but it has so much marinara sauce , tomatoes pieces and over kill red sauce , surely u stop eating after few bites . Specially if you can feel the heartburn right after looking at it at the first sight. Next time will go with a different option still smaller portion , lesss tomatoes and leads expensive will be a wiser choice. Nothing wrong about the restaurant or the service . read more

Poor service and food was mediocre. Considering the price and location, I would expect better.

High quality kosher food. With service that I've never seen in a kosher restaurant before. I am envious of Angelinos and their access to great food and wonderful service in their kosher restaurants. I would hands downs come here again and dine on the rest of the menu. I had the duck salad and their corn appetizer. read more

Lots of positive comments before coming. Seems to be an institution in this part of BH. Excellent service, bartender was creative and took care of everything we asked for. Food was okay but certainly nothing to write home about. The lamb bacon appetizer was completely overcooked. Atmosphere was nice in the bar, which is where we sat. Dining room looked a little tired. The place needs a refresh all the way around. Menu, seating, lighting, restrooms, tableware, even the glassware could all use an upgrade. read more

I will preface this by saying I've only gotten Karrie out from here. I have a customer I regularly meet with who keeps kosher so we order from here. Everything we've gotten has always been fresh and delicious portion sizes are fair. Yes it can be a little pricey but it is kosher and also Beverly Hills. Customer service has always been excellent as well read more

This place was excellent. We shared the Chai steak medium well with mashed potatoes and spinach. The service was fantastic and the ambiance is elegant. The guests were all happy and we even saw a wedding proposal. read more

Good kosher food. Moderate prices . Fast service. I really enjoy the ambiance . I come here often w my family. It's a small space but it def has good energy. There is under ground parking for ten dollars. Street metter parking js availed as well but there is not too many there. They have a very good fish and rice plate. Deserts are ok too. Def give them a try if u need a fancy place for dinner read more

I was at a private event last week and since they did not have a kosher kitchen, my food arrived at the table in a box from La Gondola. I wasn't expect much as it had clearly been prepared ahead of time and reheated. Think airplane food. I was so surprised. The food was delicious. It was so fresh and tasty and had outstanding texture. It was as if the meal had just been prepared for me before it was served. Keep in mind, there were 600+ people at this event. I look forward to visiting the restaurant in person. It's been way too long!! Thank You for doing it right read more

Food was fresh and appealing but not tasty. The portions are huge but the food was bland and way too pricey. Ambience is good but the service needs to be improved. read more

One of my clients enjoys this restaurant - so when he's in town I'm happy to take him. Food last night was good, although quite expensive. Waiter was great - service very good (we arrived at 5:30 PM). One issue which continues is their 'suggested tip' amount on the bill includes the tax in the calculation. Not supposed to do that - but if you go, please do some math - and it'll save you some money. read more

On Monday my family and I came to La Gandola for a birthday dinner for my uncle's 89th birthday. For a place that's supposed to be Italian kosher style the pasta was way overcooked if not reheated, and the hygiene practices here are questionable. Currently home with violent diarrhea, and battling dehydration as are two of my family members. Mine required IV fluids cause I was down 3.5L. None of us live together btw. The only thing we had in common was the duck on the menu. When I got my dish it tasted super gamey and the texture was off. I've eaten duck before at Chinese restaurants and it has a way different texture. It's delicate and fatty. This was flat out awful. They basted it with so much soy and acid and the texture was closer to turkey. I didn't have any other sick contacts nor did I eat any food outside my house prior to this. I speculate that because only the people who ate the duck got sick, it was bad. I've had to miss 3 days of work eating up my sick time. For the price I'd skip it and go somewhere else. read more

Amazing food and service. Upscale ambiance with refreshing drinks. Makes for an amazing night out. read more

If want some good meats, come here to LA Gondola, and get your grub on for a good price and all. My first time here and it was amazing. Some of the best Kosher ribs and barbecue I have ever eaten. Love the Israeli Salads and cuisines here too. Need the good veggies and salads to wash down the good meat. Lamb, beef and chicken are the selections here. Its God;s grace to eat here. Love the service and the food here. I promise I will be back for more. read more

I was willing to completely overlook the dirty glasses and the dirty silverware since it was easy to get fresh items once we requested. Then came the under-cooked steak & the tasteless overpriced "bacon". The worst part is the server said there was nothing he could do. We politely asked to speak to the manager. Lo & behold the manager was sitting at a table across from us eating. The server spoke to him and he came over, still chewing his food and asked us "what is your issue" with food rolling around in his mouth. This was not a good experience. read more

Came in with a few co workers and was pretty excited to try something new in Beverly Hills. Ordered the Steak and Frits and I was pretty impressed by the portion of the plate. However, the chimichurri was a bit too dry and I felt like fries didn't go well with the steak. The plate nearly reminded me of Asada Fries. The highlight of lunch was their Avocado Wraps. Delicious delicious delicious. Strongly recommended. read more

The $75 ribs were dry and tough. Excellent appetizers. This is the loudest restaurant I've been in. I should have brought ear plugs. Everyone was yelling and rushing around. Outside dining looked fine. If I go again I'll eat on the sidewalk. And avoid the ribs. They ain't what they used to be. Overcooked and stringy. They service was fine until after the food was served. Then I never saw our waiter again. The warm duck salad was excellent. read more

I forgot to mention in my previous review that the entrees and sides are always prepared and presented artistically. Here is a photo by Bracha Sacks-Stern of their chicken Marsala. read more

Absolutely love LA gondola restaurant. A great lunch time spot with great service and also great for dinner. The restaurant is on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills which is a nice change and elevated ambiance than where most kosher restaurants are on pico blvd. Favorite things to order here for lunch : Venetta salad, herb salad with chicken or a crispy chicken sandwich- wow. Dinner: love the asian chicken tapas, avocado egg rolls and flatbread, sliders. For dinner I love the Nir Special pasta or a burger- this is not a typical burger... read more

Do not waste your time. This place is a joke and not a restaurant. We made reservation for 5 people. Arrived on time. At table we were told they don't have enough menus at this stage. Told to wait. We asked for a bottle of water only to be told they don't have water. What a joke. They call this a restaurant without having menus and water ? The manager at desk could not explain what is going on and did not even bother to apologise and explain. The workers here are simply unprofessional and don't care. Went to Shilo 10 minutes away and what a difference. Have nothing positive to say about this place. Will never go again. read more

Average bbq, average pasta, service ehh, ambiance ehh. With these prices I'd go somewhere else

I would like to thank Nista at La Gondola for opening her restaurant earlier on a Sunday to provide a memorial luncheon for a large group of people in April. The setting was lovely and the waiters were attentive and kind. The food was delicious and all those who were able to attend commented on how special the meal was in addition to the welcoming atmosphere. Nista was there to greet me and I will always be grateful to her, Jonathan and Ben for their assistance and care. read more

This place is awesome. The food is incredible ( beef bacon is INCREDIBLE) the portions are enormous and the staff is so nice! I was able to get away from work to take my brother to a bday lunch and this place is just down the street from my office which was perfect since it was a walking distance . We ordered appetizers which came pretty fast (although the waitress forgot to place the order for one so it came 2 minutes prior to the main course) but we enjoyed every bite of it. The only let down was that when we ordered dessert that took like 20 min which makes no sense if you see the size of the dessert menu we ordered. I'd recommend this place for sure just because the food is incredible and again that beef bacon and the roasted cauliflower is out of this world. read more

Nice classy restaurant, clean atmosphere, and good service. It's not the nicest place, it's kinda older looking, but it's still respectable and decent enough. Food was good. Hit and miss with their "specials" of the day, don't fall for that, just go for one of the classics on the menu read more

Good food and fresh. The place look clean The food came fast. Amazing environment Highly recommend read more

Looks fancy on the outside, while overpriced and unsanitary on the inside. Do a Google search for "la gondola vermin" and you will see that La Gondola has had many vermin infestations in the past (and they still do!) - i.e. in 1990 and 2017, and more recently, in May 2022. Add to that 73+ health inspection violations from 2017-2022. You would think that a restaurant that prides itself on being so upscale would take permanent and proactive measures to become sanitary/vermin free (instead of repeating the same old mistakes). So I'll instead be going to two Kosher Thai restaurants in the same area, which have much better food, health standards, reasonable prices and great value. See you in Italy! read more

Literally the worst place to eat. Fly infested, poor service, rude owners son and overpriced food. I highly believe kosher restaurants should be held to a higher standard of cleanliness when preparing food and serving it. Never going back. Flies in our food,face, and atmosphere. And to the owner/staff reading this, please note that if you say go somewhere else, best believe you deter kosher individuals from wanting to eat at any kosher restaurants ever again because you guys should not be able to run a business like this and say its high end, when in reality its trash. Also note-under age drinking occurs here. Surprised they even have a license to serve alcohol. server/owner did not compensate us with anything for the fly in our food. Owner is aware of fly infestation and has yet to do anything about it. read more
