Tried Massilia for my friend engagement dinner and overall it was a great experience. The food was very delicious, service was good, and gorgeous ambiance. Very modern inside and view of Disney Concert Hall. I ordered the ahi tuna tostada and it was very good !!! So flavoring and great seasoning!!! I ordered a glass of champagne and it was really good as well too!! I will definitely come back here for girls night or date night. You can park at the Conrad hotel and get your ticket validated at Massilia. Only paid $15 which was not bad. I will come back here to try!! -Marshay D.

Nice and inviting vibe.

We came here for dinner before the LA Phil concert. The location is conveniently located across from the Disney concert hall. I approached the reception and was greeted promptly. I was brought over to a table of 2. Comfortable seating, bench sitting with back support cushion with the street facing view. The menu has great choices of drinks and dinner menu has a great variety. The server was attentive and provided suggestion. The food came out quick. For appetizer, we shared the ratatouille, which was comforting and pair nicely with my glass of white. I'm craving for some seafood pasta and ordered the spaghetti with claims in garlic sauce. He ordered a glass of red to go with the steak with frites. Dinner was great and would like to return to try other items.

MATCHA LATTE (top) & HOJICHA LATTE (bottom)
Kaitlyn N.

Came for brunch! FLAVOR (3/5): 1. HOJICHA LATTE: Their hojicha latte was okay. Hojicha is supposed to taste a little nutty, but this one tasted a little unnatural. 2. MATCHA LATTE: Their matcha latte was actually abysmal. Very watery and gross. 3. SPANISH MEATBALLS: Bread was kind of dry (even when soaked with the sauce), and the meatballs lacked depth of flavor. 4. CRISPY CALAMARI: The calamari was good! Crispy and yummy. 5. TAGLIATELLE AUX MORILLES: My favorite dish of what we tried. Creamy and rich, but not too heavy. SERVICE (3/5): Service was pretty bad. Took forever to order and get the check. AMBIENCE (4/5): Nice for brunch - airy and bright. TAKEAWAYS: Since Massilia is nearby, I will probably be back. I'm curious to try their other dishes like the bolognese, and see what kind of offerings they have for dinner. However, for the price point, I'm not sure I can recommend it confidently to others. Also, I would never get their lattes again. lol.

Updating this because I've been back nearly on a weekly basis. The pan dan coffee is probably one of the best latte's in LA. Still sticking to the breakfast burrito, but have tried the croissant sandwich which is also good. Service is amazing every time.

The Bottom Line 4 stars: A great option when in the area visiting museums or music venues in DTLA. Recommended with concerns as noted below. Location 4 stars: On the ground floor of Conrad hotel in DTLA, southeast corner of S Grand Ave and 1st street. This is the museum row and cultural epicenter of DTLA, surrounded by the Broad Museum, the MOCA (The Museum of Contemporary Art) and the Music Center (Disney Concert Hall, Ahmanson Theatre, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Jerry Moss Plaza). Paid parking lots and the hotel "paid" valet are your most realistic options. Venue 5 stars: Trendy, modern setting with indoor seating, outdoor patio, a full bar, and a separate coffee/pastries counter. I walked in for a weekday lunch without any wait, but dinner and weekend reservations on Open Table would be a good idea. Billing 1 star: There is a QR code on the table for paying your bill (see pic). If you use this QR to pay they will charge you a "sunday Platform fee" which is for processing your payment. This happens any day of the week, not just Sundays ;D ... sunday (lower case) is the payment platform who processes it. This is not disclosed anywhere and you only find out afterwards. Avoid it and ask for a regular check :) Service 3 stars: Polite and friendly but very infrequent and not attentive. Our water glasses remained empty often and stopped getting filed altogether once we asked for the bill. Food 4 stars: Modern American fare with French and Italian influences. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. We had the Chicken Avocado Sandwich and the Steak-Frites. Both were excellent and highly recommended. Drinks 4 stars: Full Bar, soft drinks, specialty cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, coffee, matcha, and tea. I had the Mushroom Coffee which was great.

Spaghetti Neri alle Vongole
amy w.

Came here to celebrate my niece's 18th birthday. This restaurant is pretty new and they have a good selection of wine. However, since we brought our own wine, we will definitely try theirs next time. Corkage fee is $35 per bottle which is quite reasonable. Our server was friendly and attentive which is very important for a dining experience. We really enjoyed all the dishes and especially the steak frites. The steak was so tender and juicy that we orfered two. I also enjoyed the spaghetti neri alle just because I like ink spaghetti. The ambience is casual but classy. We will be back for sure. Parking is easy just right next door and it's $4.50 for the fiest 3 hours with restaurant validation. 5 stars and more.

Massilia is a gem of a place! We came here after a Grand Performance event. Walked about a block up to Massilia where many of the concert goers were going for an after party. Massilia's ambiance and menu is influenced by flavors of Spain, Italy, France and North Africa. It is a grown and sexy place but with none of the pretentiousness. We were there at about 11pm and it was nicely packed with music playing in the background. Every one from the patrons to the staff were very friendly and had great energy. Our server checked on us regularly and for small talk, he helped me practice speaking French. Mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious as well as the calamari . Overall, I will be coming back to Massilia. I want to try their brunch menu or meet up with friends for drinks.

Side sauces for the coucous
Elaine T.

I went for a pre-show meal that was worth repeating any time! Ambiance is very lively and for those living or working nearby, going to their weekday happy hour would be a no brainer. Started off with crispy calamari, lightly coated with a seasoned batter and served with an excellent dipping sauce. We split the salade verte (green salad) which was lightly dressed with a delicious vinaigrette and even split was a large plate of greens! We opted to share the royal coucous which included an amazing merguez sausage, tender lamb shank, and chicken over a bed of coucous and chickpeas. Plenty of stewed vegetables and a marvelous broth served in the side that we could use as we wished. The meats were all fall off the bone tender, and the vegetables still held some texture (not mushy). Delightful wines by the glass, and because I had no room for dessert, l finished off the meal with poire william eau de vie! Professional and kind service from hostess to waitstaff. Will definitely be returning soon!

Ana M.

Pleasantly surprised by this spot - service was great and very accommodating. I had the wagyu burger sans bread with avocado and thought it was great! Iced coffee with oat milk hit the spot. Warm authentic decor considering it's the heart of downtown. Will be going back.

Massilia has a really nice ambience, and the noise level was just right--lively but still comfortable enough to have a conversation. Unfortunately, the food was a little disappointing overall. The steak frites was probably the biggest disappointment. The steak was very small and overcooked, especially for what you would expect from this type of restaurant. The pasta also needs some work. We tried the burger and fries, which were okay but nothing particularly memorable. On the positive side, the calamari was good, the Moroccan couscous was really good, and we also enjoyed the meatballs. The lamb shank was another one of the better dishes we tried. I really like the atmosphere, so I would be willing to come back and give Massilia another shot and try a few different dishes. I think the menu could use some updating, and the execution on some of the dishes needs improvement, but there were definitely some highlights. I'd give it another chance.

Grilled Salmon Plate (GF)
Blas V.

While waiting for my daughter's jury selection to wrap up, I decided to grab lunch at Massilia Grand, and I'm glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the restaurant felt warm and welcoming. The host greeted me immediately and quickly showed me to my table, setting the tone for a great dining experience. I started with the meatballs, which were cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and a great way to begin the meal. My only criticism was the bread served alongside them. It was a bit too hard and didn't really complement the dish as well as a softer, fresher bread would have. For my entrée, I ordered the grilled salmon with mixed couscous and ratatouille. The salmon was cooked perfectly--moist, flaky, and full of flavor. The mixed couscous was absolutely outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. I'm not much of an eggplant fan, so I skipped that portion of the ratatouille, but everything else on the plate was delicious. Since I don't drink during the week, I paired my meal with a lemonade, and it was incredibly refreshing and the perfect complement to lunch. Overall, Massilia Grand delivered excellent food, welcoming service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Aside from the bread with the meatballs, everything exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

Prosciutto Pizza (unevenly cooked and burnt top and bottom)
Kawamura K.

Ordered delivery, so I can't give an honest review of the service or ambience. It was our first time ordering, we were hoping to find a Napoli style pizza, calamari and ratatouille. First issue was the ratatouille, they did not have it and we were disappointed. Second issue, for the price/value of the calamari, it was not what is considered a "full portion", it was less that 3/4 cup/a little over 1/2 cups. We shared equally and split between 3 people to try, so it was really a few bites. Third issue is the pizza not being cooked evenly, 1/2 of our prosciutto pizza was burnt on the crust edge and underside. The second pizza we ordered, margherita pizza, we only lightly burnt. Finally, we agreed that we do live further away from the restaurant, so the steam from the pizza and calamari were trapped in the containers, so it made the crust and calamari coating soft instead of crisp. Our thought would be, to ask for the packaging to change to allow ventilation. At least to allow the arugula on the prosciutto pizza to not wilt. We would be willing to try again but in person only.

Tarte pizza
Tiffani T.

Service was great, food was good, and the Marco Polo tea was really nice as well. I wouldn't get the baklava latte but besides that everything was pretty good. I love the ambiance and the half in half out doors being open letting in the fresh air. Thanks for having us.

The concept is upscale dining where you can see the whole restaurant and a open kitchen. Great place to catch up with friends or have a nice date. Ceaser salad - Overpriced, but the ceaser is delicious and well presented as a flower Scallops - these were my least favorite. Tasted normal and a little too much coconut flavor for me. Nothing special with this dish. Bone marrow gnocchi - one of my favorites. It was a great balance of strong flavor from the marrow mixed with this hard texture of the spinach gnocchi and I haven't ever had gnocchi this style before I highly recommend. Pizza - We got the margarita and the mushroom pizza. It is definitely above average, but could have been more crispy Squid ink pasta - This would be my favorite entree. The flavor is amazing. It gives you a strong sense of being a seafood dish without being overwhelming. Cavatelli - this would be a 3/5 without the truffle shavings. The truffles definitely elevated the dish Drinks - we tried the mezcal cocktail as well as the old fashion. Nothing special and I would prob just get wine or beer next time instead of a cocktail. Overall, it's tiny dishes of flavors with upscale pricing. If you want to get full definitely get a pizza.

Flavors of all the pasta were great all around with the tarako spaghetti overpowering it all. For the uni pasta, the uni flavors were subtle and creamy with a nice touch of uni at the top. As for the mentai, as a person who loves mentaiko, my preference would be to have a stronger mentaiko taste. Regardless, the dish was still tasty! As for the tarako, it overpowered both the uni and mentai as it had a strong and rich flavor. Overall, came when it just opened for the day and became quite busy when I finished my meal. The pasta took awhile to arrive but that was fine since there was pasta and salad to hold over as everything was being made to order. As for the restaurant, it gave a nice cozy vibe as if I was actually transported to a pasta shop in Italy. Love that there were bar seating which oversees the kitchen giving people a nice view of the process of food being made.

We went last night for the first time to celebrate my birthday as it's around the corner from our…read morefavorite pizza place Quartersheets. What a great small restaurant with a fantastic buzz. No detail is overlooked. Beautiful design -- reminds me of what your Italian grandma's dining room would look like if she had great taste. We took a Lyft since the parking situation is tough (but there is a paid lot down the street) and we were running late.I called and left message that we were running 15 minutes late and they got my voicemail and they were great about. Table was available right away. Cocktails were impressive - and we started with a dirty martini and a Negroni blanco. The garlic bread made with Bub & Grandma's bread is a clear winner. Our server Emerson was top notch and steered us through the menu and drinks and was informative and friendly as very professional. When he'd walk through dining room, he was scanning to see if anyone was trying to catch his eye. And when I did he came right over. None of this look straight ahead stuff I sometimes see when it's a busy night. You can get out of Donna's for a reasonable price if you stick to garlic bread, salad and one of their excellent pasta dishes (5 of the dishes are in the $25-$28 range). We splurged and got the scampi (from France) what a sauce, truffle gnocchi, amazing chicken Marsala with amazing mushroom sauce $32) and the Cesar salad was delicious and not mailed in. We ordered 1 dessert (panna cotta with pistachio brittle and fresh figs) and they brought a tiramisu and tiny glasses of their own limoncello out on the house. We also tried 1 glass of their special vermouth since we are vermouth lovers. A++++ experience all round and it was a high level of ingredients and food -- chef and his team are top notch. I now need to find out who's the chef in that kitchen because they've built an excellent team. Donna's slyly calls itself just a "red sauce Italian restaurant" but I'd say that's a real understatement...and I think it's a great date night or small group place because it's intimate and you can hear your table partners talk. I don't recall any music playing - just the warm brown background noise of fun conversation. We ate early (my preference these days) and if you don't see any openings for reservations, ask Resy to give you an alert -- you'll get notified when reservations open up. Emerson said they always hold some tables for walk ins. PS -- I normally don't leave such long reviews, but I have some friends who are chefs and who own restaurants - and when I see other Yelp reviews where someone leaves a one star because the hostess was allegedly rude when everything else is great -- I just hate to see how it can affect a restaurant. I have no relationship with this restaurant at all. I don't know any anyone who works in it or owns any part of it, but I just don't like to see people abuse the reviews -- the restaurant business is tough as it is. And as someone who has worked downtown and driven through Echo Park for 30 years - I think Donna's is a great addition to Echo Park.

Their advice is to share plates. For starters, we chose the focaccia, meatballs (not pictured) and suppli al telefono.

So for the mains we ordered the cacio e Pepe and wild boar pasta (not pictured). The wild boar sauce is delicious.

We drove from Orange county in about 2-3 hour traffic and made it on time on the dot. We still had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. The ambiance looked very romantic in the pictures but it was alright. I asked for the best view/table and we got sat next to where the waiters put the orders in. Service was pretty stale. Been here no? Okay what would you like to order. Puts the order in. No real presence in it. Didn't even bring the birthday desert that we ordered, the busser did. Which is fine but just seemed so irrelevant that was came here to celebrate a birthday. I think we saw the busser more than the waiter. We got the oxtail meatballs, and I forgot the name but it's the risotto fried balls, focaccia, and we shared a carbonara and a tiramisu. I'm sorry but everything was very bland and mid. Needed to order butter for the bread and it didn't help much. I've dined at a lot of different restaurants and my carbonara I make at home with cut bacon strips tasted the same as carbonara here. It was essentially a bowl of egg with noodles barely any parm and cut strips of fried bacon. The tiramisu we ordered for the birthday desert was pulled out of a fridge, and tasted store bought. My husband and I both rated the food out of 1-10 and we both said 5. Wasn't good and wasn't bad. Maybe it was what we ordered. Everyone got the same thing. Maybe because the waiter recommended? Spaghetti and their top salad. Overly hyped, as a lot of the reviews said. It was packed. If you want a hyped place with tables filled go here. Wasn't worth the drive and wasn't a good pick to celebrate a birthday.
