    Carbonara
    norma a.

    All dishes ordered were excellent! Enjoyed asparagus soup, fried calamari, carbonara and tagliata steak. Were seated promptly on a Tuesday evening although we didn't have reservations. Perfect ambiance. Nice Italian music playing but not too loud where you can't have a conversation. Servers were consistently on top of everything.

    Ambiance: it's a traditional Italian bar restaurant located on Beverly drive, valet or street parking, it's packed and crowded inside, and a covered patio along the street outside Service: overall fine, a bit rushed when placing the order, and no introduction to their menu at all, refilled water adequately Food: classic Italian dishes, house-made bread and pasta Bread - *** it's a bit dry, still tasty with olive oil and vinegar, not complementary, $1.50 surcharge per person TAGLIOLINI VERDI CON CARCIOFI - **** Green tagliolini, baby artichoke, garlic and parmesan cheese, simple and tasty flavor, recommend RISOTTO ALLA VENEZIANA - *** Carnaroli rice, squid ink, calamari, shrimp and clams, very light taste, seafood was cooked well, clams were gritty Price: moderate portions and slightly overpriced for the quality but understandable for the location, expect $40~$50 per person

    Our family favorite! We always come here to have our family dinners! Table size is always 12 plus and Service is always the best and food is so good! And they are kid friendly which is hard to find! My favorite is the calamari fritti for appetizer, Linguini Alle Vongole for my entree and for dessert the panna cotta and Crostata Di Banane E Nutella Caramelized so so good!! Love this place!

    really good

    I mean, the restaurant is really good even though the service and the food! all the service is Italian the environment looks so romantic

    We came across this spot bc the wait for honor bar was crazy long. There was no wait and we were seated right away. It is a bit pricey. My friend and I split two things: calamari and the fettuccine Bolognese (forgot to take a picture) and it was the right amount for the two of us. I didn't feel bloated/heavy after the meal. Decent service.

    No one is going to get a bad meal here. The Pasta Marinara was outstanding with homemade Penne and homemade Marinara. ($25) You won't get better anywhere else. The Salmon was very good, not the best I have had--but very good. ($35) The White Fish was excellent and so were the veggies that came with it. ($35) The Apple Tort was very good. ($14) Service was Okay. They are efficient and attentive but you don't get the feeling that you are a valued customer here. The woman at the Valet stand ($14) was nicest person at the restaurant and she probably does not work for the restaurant. Table bread could be improved. (Bread Cost: $1.50 pp) If you can't tell by the menu--this is an expensive fine dining restaurant. Expect around $65 to 75 per person with T & T with Appetizer, 2 Mains, 2 Drinks. I do like the atmosphere here, but from a value perspective it's 4 of 5. From just a food perspective 4.5 of 5. From a service perspective 3 of 5. Go if you budget can handle it--there is no reason not to. Get the pasta.

    The food was delicious and the service was friendly, but I felt the prices were too high for the portion sizes. The ambiance was nice, but overall the cost didn't quite match the value.

    There are restaurants in all the big cities in which I have lived that represent longevity,…read moreimage-power, popularity, and tradition. And, there is usually a good reason for their stardom. While I am a big fan of evolved dishes that are novel and fresh, I have always loved old fashioned, genuine (as in the way they are made in the Old Country) Italian food. Il Pastaio does not disappoint in that respect. I have spent enough time all over Italy, and am part Italian myself, to judge this place a must-try in Los Angeles. We rarely venture into Beverly Hills given what used to be a difficult parking situation. Not with Il Pastaio -- there is free public garage parking almost across the street. If you visit on a Sunday afternoon, you will find a spot effortlessly and you will avoid the crowds. That said, when we arrived around 1:30, Il Pastaio was packed, inside and out. Thankfully we had a reservation and they ushered us to the perfect table, inside (where I preferred to be on a sunny, cool but windy day), next to a bright (and spotless) window. I think there are people who prefer to be on the sidewalk in BH, so they can look for the cognoscenti and affluenti, LOL, but, I don't need to do that -- seen and been seen enough in my long life! Our table was perfect. View my photos. I love the vibe inside. Again, I can happily report, Il Pastaio reminds me of all the fine, small, and exquisite restaurants I frequented in Rome, Florence, and Milan, to name the biggies. The menu is extensive, and even though I had studied it beforehand on their website, it took me at least ten minutes to narrow down all the wonderful vegetarian dishes from which to choose. My photos show which were the lucky winners. There are meat dishes in abundance but, here's the open secret, Italians themselves are not avid meat eaters and all the portions abroad are small, hence multiple courses and few people eat too much at a meal. Lunch and dinner are also leisurely over there because Europeans see a meal as an event, not a blip in their day. The service was flawless, with our Italian waiter, Filippo, treating us as if we were Re Umberto and Regina Margherita. The table was very pretty and there was bespoke olive oil and vinegar ready for dipping the homemade bread that is served steaming in a napkined basket. I could smell it through the entire meal. Even the water came from Italy. Each course we chose came to the table at the perfect temperature, beautifully plated, and the previous were whisked away efficiently as soon as we were finished, as if by magic. All in all, this is a superb Italian restaurant. Fresh and new but traditional and comforting in its familiarity. I know we will return. Molto ben fatto, Signore Drago!

    The food here is excellent; quality Italian food with good portions and great flavor. The ambiance…read moreis nice even the outdoors is pretty and they have heat lamps to take out the chill. My reason for the three stars was the service. We did choose a later reservation time but I wish they just didn't have the reservation if they don't want to be there late. It took 25 minutes after us sitting for a server to ask what we wanted to drink. It was not busy maybe three other tables outdoor only the inside was closed. When our waiter was at the table he was annoyed at our questions regarding the tasting menu. It really made us feel awkward and dampered our whole experience which was really unfortunate because we loved the food and it was our last night in LA. I'd say make an earlier reservation maybe to receive better service. Also the espresso martini was disappointing it had ice and was very watered down. I'll end on a positive note that the Branzino was amazing. Everything on the dish tasted fresh. The burrata was also a hit for the whole table

Going in we were going over order with the intent to bring food home just so we could taste more items on the menu. Started with FIORI DI ZUCCA which are squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta deep fried in a batter. Each bite was so delicious, a good amount of ricotta, and each bite was still super crispy. We also got XXTRA PEPPERONI LOVERS Pinsa. Crust was doughy yet crisp, not greasy at all I would just the right amount of cheese and sauce. So we knew that we would be full, but we wanted to try a couple pastas one red sauce, and one white sauce. The CACIO E PEPE I just the right amount of pepper and creamy sauce, noodles cooked perfectly. PAPPARDELLE ALLA VACCINARA was definitely my favorite, noodles in a braised oxtail ragu. Service was on point, checked on his frequently, but didn't rush us, even though the restaurant was super busy, and just overall very friendly. We would definitely go back to try more entrées and even get the pallardelle again with the squash blossoms. You have to pay for valet in the front but I would rather do that than to worry about parking.

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"!

They have a small outdoor seating area with a beautiful view of Beverly Hills . We chose the Indoor one, 'coz I liked the look of their Ceiling, the Art on it was beautiful. We spotted what we liked right away on their menu and ordered the following : *HONEY BEE cocktail *MARE MISTO *FRUTTI DI MARE *PORK CHOP *WHOLE BRANZINO *CARROT CAKE My HONEY BEE was so delicious, it's a strong liquor, but deliciously made. I love the Dantes Beverly Hills wording on my drink, it's nice. For our APPETIZER we had the MARE MISTO, this one was seasoned very well, it had just the right amount of Salt on it, it was Crispy and very Tasty, and the Seafood on it was in big sizes, especially the shrimp. The FRUITY DI MARE is a bit of a small portion for my husband, but for me, the portion would have been big enough if I had that plate. Not so wow on the taste, but the seafood is once again big in size. My sons said he liked his PORK CHOP, it was not dry at all and he said it was good. He didn't eat the Beans 'coz my son doesn't really eat any kind of Beans at all, so I ended up eating those and it's pretty good beans. My BRANZINO, I love ordering Branzino at any restaurant I go to if they have it on their Menu. This Branzino was very simple and there's nothing much to say besides that it's just a grilled Fish, they could have added some good seasoning to it or flavored it more. I ate so many Branzino with a nice seasoning at other restaurants I've been to. I'm not saying that the Branzino here is bad, it's just made so simple that it needed more flavor. Now for the dessert, their CARROT CAKE was so delicious. Their carrot cake here was not so sweet and it's really good. For the Service, we received great service from everyone who approached our table. They have very friendly staff here. Our server Elias is very awesome. For the parking, either use their Hotel Valet parking or Side street parking, or at a walking distance there is a paid building for parking.

We ordered: Steak Tartare (4/5) - Bread was perfectly oiled & crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. The tonnato was very umami and made the dish but the steak itself was alright. Spicy Pomodoro (3.5/5) - This didn't hit as hard for me; I wished it was more spicy and I didn't taste any truffle. Pasta itself was perfectly al dente. Sweet Corn Agnolotti (5/5) - This was delish! Make sure to get equal parts of the pasta, sauce, corn, and crème fraiche (like a light sour cream) to get that flavor explosion. Creme was a little sour, corn was sweet, and the agnolotti was salty; perfect bite fr. My only negative is that this dish was too small for $28 :(. Blood Orange Pavlova (4/5) - A truly layered dessert because if you ate the sorbet by itself, it would be too sour but otherwise, another flavor explosion. The pavlova was thick and you really have to jam your spoon in to break the pieces apart. Service was friendly and fast! Overall, I'd come back!

The pasta was a bit salty and for some reason the fish came out way late, maybe 40 minutes later than it should've and it wasn't really spectacular. However, the ambience, the setting, and the top-notch phenomenal service is worth the experience. A bit pricey, but after all, you're dining in Beverly Hills. We were too full to take advantage of the dessert menu, but our kind excellent waiter brought us some treats, a very nice pleasing gesture. Parking is pretty cool, valet parking right next-door only $15 plus tip. We certainly will be back, thank you nice people!

    Tried a few dishes, and the standout was definitely the rigatoni--easily my favorite…read more Would come back again, especially to grab a seat at the bar and try more from the menu.

    Mother Wolf has been on my list for quite some time. We decided to finally dine here on our…read moredaughter's last night before she returned to college. The experience did not disappoint -- it was beautiful from beginning to end. Our extraordinary server was James. He was engaging, attentive and unpretentious. His knowledge of the menu was impressive as he explained each section and item in a simplified way. After making our choices, he suggested changing one of our pasta selections since they all had heavy sauces. We accepted his recommendation of the Spaghetti Arrabbiata, which turned out to be everyone's favorite! The tomato-based sauce was light and perfectly spicy. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was amazing. The focaccia, oxtail meatballs and burrata with ham were a great start, showcasing the quality of the ingredients and thoughtful preparations -- they set the tone for our entire meal. The taste and texture of the freshly made pastas were unmistakable and so, so good with the wonderful sauces. The lamb chops were well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the bed of sliced snow peas, green beans and English peas set over mint sauce. After all that, we had just enough room for shared desserts -- Budino and Tiramisu. Both were the perfect finish to a delicious meal. If you like chocolate, the Budino is for you -- rich but not overly sweet. Each yummy bite with the crumble topping was nicely balanced by the sprinkled salt. Service was impeccable and well-coordinated. We especially appreciated that dishes and utensils were changed after each course. A couple things to keep in mind: *Reservations - Via Resy. The reservation window is open 14 days at a time. *Parking - Valet is right in front. We found street parking just around the corner on Sunset (metered but free after 7pm). *Price Point - Approximately $100 per person. Mother Wolf is a cashless establishment. A 5% wellness fee is added to all checks. We will absolutely be back!
