If you're looking for high quality, phenomenal flavor and amazing options then Radici is your place! From start to finish this place blew me away! Quick friendly service got us seated right away along with one of my favorite options; choosing your seat! The sweet hostess gave us a choice between a few tables which truly makes the experience feel more comfortable and like they truly care:) Now onto the food. Every single dish we ordered was honestly stellar! You could taste the freshness in the prosciutto wrapped figs & ricotta bruschetta. I'm talking smelling the basil before it even hit your lips. The lamb chop special was cooked to perfection and of course the pasta! Handmade with love, I know because I can taste it! Update: I had my birthday there and the staff went above and beyond! We luckily were able to get the private room where they set up a stunning table and gave top notch service. They individually plated our salads-which to me was so generous so everyone could get the perfect amount. The melon prosciutto salad was absolute perfection. Along with both types of gnocchi-which before hand I didn't consider myself a gnocchi girl but Radici has completely changed my mind! I could go on for days but honestly just come check it out for yourself! Don't skip the salted Carmel gelato read more

I cannot wait to go back to try more of this amazing food, and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere that Owner Laura Francisco has created! For an authentic experience, you must try Radici! Upon arrival, the host greeted us promptly and with a friendly smile before she seated us at a nice window table. We were so happy to be seated in Britney's area because she was awesome from beginning to end! If Britney is working, I will definitely make sure we are seated at her tables when we visit again. We were celebrating a special milestone birthday and Britney went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time!!! She was able to give details and opinions on the food and beverages we asked about and she was spot on with her recommendations. So much appreciation for Laura as well! She checked in on us multiple times, never rushing by any tables, running the front of the house as a true professional. Huge thanks (I do not know his name) to the young man who brought our food as he was so personable and thoughtful - ensuring none of us burned ourselves on my dish since it came straight out of the oven and was piping hot! We were so excited that Executive Chef Lucia Gasbarri (the owner's mother) was cooking up her specialty Squid Ink Pasta! Laura said she is the only one who prepares it to perfection and it was delicious! Every dish that came out was outstanding and we ate it ALL! I was tempted to lick the plates clean, but decided to be civilized and not embarrass anyone ;⁠) As we continued to celebrate, Britney delivered a surprise sparkling birthday gelato, followed by the tiramisu we ordered. Perfect desserts to complete our evening... Everything was superb from the minute we walked in to when we strolled out! Thank you Radici... We will be back for more visits! read more

The restaurant was nice, great service. We ordered the garlic bread & shared the chicken Parmesan. Entree was a large portion. Bread was good, a bit overpriced. Everything was good. read more

Radici - Chicken Parmesan & Radici Garlic Loaf. - Italian Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Hidden gem that we stumbled upon and glad we did. The restaurant is tucked inside a little plaza, so it's unobtrusive but once inside you're greeted with soft elegance and charming Italian music. They have a nice small patio outside as well. The food? Everything we ordered was amazing and no kidding they make their own pasta. It really beat out a lot of pasta places we been too. Pasta had a nice chew/al dente texture. They can take something very ordinary like spaghetti and elevate it. We were so full but ordered a small dessert to try, that too, was good! Our waiter was friendly and not pushy. We took our time ordering, we like to order as we eat. I must also comment on how clean their restrooms are! Will definitely be back. read more

DineLA January 2026 review only. Your experience may differ if you dine outside of DineLA times. I will have to preface that the staff was very apologetic and said sorry multiple times. We booked a reservation on Resy for their outdoor heated patio. They are dog friendly! Outside vibes are amazing. Romantic, clean, beautiful. The bathroom was also clean and smells nice. First, it took a while to get seated. My husband said they seem frazzled. When we were seated, we wanted to order from the DineLA menu. However, the meal took 2 hours because they said the kitchen was severely backed up since it was the first day of DineLA and everyone is ordering it. Since they make everything from scratch, they didn't want to compromise the quality of the food so that is why it took a little longer. I wasn't too bothered by the wait time because I loved sitting out on the patio but it was extremely long for a simple dinner. For DineLA, it is $35 for a 4 course tasting menu. Key word ... tasting. The portions are small so don't expect a full meal if you're super hungry. Food: Soup of the day - it is a potato creamy soup. I thought it was a bit salty and overly peppery. My husband said he finished it in 5 spoons lol. Gnocchi and bolognese - best part of the meal!! Their gnocchi is so delicious and the cheese sauce is amazing. There is a baked crispy part on top that is so good. I would come back to order it. Bolognese was good too but gnocchi is clear winner. Chicken Parmesan and pork Milanese - it's okay, nothing special. The polenta and vegetable is good. Dessert - ugh super disappointed because I love panna cotta. When they brought out tiramisu, I was like whatttt? And confused.... I don't like tiramisu :(. They said they ran out of panna cotta. First day of DineLA for a 6:30pm reservation? I'm a little mixed because I know their are a family owned business and maybe weren't quite prepared for the huge DineLA rush. The food was also mixed too with the pasta dishes beating out the meat dishes. I would come back but only order their pasta :) read more

Beautiful and classy space that somehow was able to combine classic Italian trattoria + beachy decor. The menu had a lot of classic Italian staples, and you can't really go wrong. All pastas are hand made. Food was outstanding, and I splurged on the black truffle fettuccine, which was worth the fungal surcharge. My friends enjoyed the chicken Parmesan and pappardelle bolognese. My other friend's fusilli was a tad salty, but that may have been from the extra Parmesan. We got 2 salads which were both delicious with very fresh ingredients, and the appetizer margherita pizza was quite nice. Cocktail list is interesting and the Negroni was perfectly made. We skipped on dessert but the selections were quite typical. The one star deduction was for service, which I think was understaffed and therefore a little slow. And make sure you utilize the free parking garage!!! Overall a very nice spot for a higher end dinner for date night, family and friends. read more

Radici is a solid choice for great Italian American cuisine in Hermosa Beach. The servers are well trained on the menu and take care to explain dishes and specials and answer questions. They are warm, friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. The Hostess as well made her presence known, creating an overall vibe that you were in good hands. The menu is short, which tells me the chef is focused on executing a few things well and the dishes we ordered (papardelle bolognese, chicken parm, garlic bread, beet salad, green salad) were indeed delicious. My only quibbles are 1) the chef insists that everyone order everything at the same time (so no ordering garlic bread or appys then deciding on entrees) and 2) the corkage fee is a little high at $35 (let's bring that down to $25, ok?). Knowing that going in, however, will ensure you have a great experience. If you're in the area, do try it. (P.S. The restaurant is on the second level of a plaza so you must walk upstairs to it. Also, I was told there is free underground parking.) read more

A true hidden gem in the South Bay! Radici is somewhat of a hidden gem in Hermosa Beach and, in my opinion, one of the finest, if not the finest, dining experiences in the South Bay. We've been here many times, and not only have we never been disappointed, I continue to be impressed each time by how beautifully and elegantly everything is done. We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary here, and it was the perfect place for such a special night. Our server Brittany was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our evening memorable. The food was excellent as always, and the bar deserves recognition too. The cocktails are creative, beautifully made, and every bit as high quality as the food. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the ambiance is elegant, and the service is exceptional without ever feeling stuffy. We even stayed a little past closing and never once felt rushed or pressured to leave, which we really appreciated. There are plenty of restaurants that serve good food and try to create an upscale experience. Very few succeed in making the entire experience feel truly elegant, from the surroundings and service to the food, drinks, and smallest details. Radici does. It remains one of our absolute favorite restaurants in the South Bay and made our anniversary evening very special. Highly recommended. read more

Had high hopes for this place based off other reviews but maybe we came in on a bad night. First off, the ambiance was really nice! 5/5 Next, the food....a disappointment. The garlic bread, amatriciana, bolognese, burrata and panna cotta were delicious but everything else was meh at best. The calamari had deep fried veggies... not sure if it was a filler to fill up the plate because I didnt order veggie tempura. The sausage pasta was bland. Literally no flavor. The flank turducken invention was unique. Sauce and risotto were good as the side but confusing as to what we were eating. Food overall was a 2/5 at best. Lastly, service was great. Aside from no water refills, our waiter was fast and friendly. read more

No hostess for 8mins upon arriving was concerning. At least the rest of the staff were kind enough to let us know she was coming. Rest of the night went off without a hitch. Menu is not expansive, but, very specific and well put together. Our server was on point during the service. Drinks were tableside with the quickness as well as our order. Starter calamari was well seasoned with just enough breading. Mama ordered the Radici salad and I had the Beet salad. Very good. We decided to drink our calories this night and got a nice and delicious bottle of red that was reasonably priced. We enjoyed our night, once our hostess arrived. The entrance is up the stairs from the Radici signage on the street. Might just return for bottle service again. read more

Came here with friends to celebrate a birthday. Surprised that the restaurant wasn't very busy for a Friday night. We were the only ones seated at the outdoor patio and the indoor restaurant wasn't very busy. Started off with a bottle of wine, sorry but I don't recall the name. We ordered the Insulate di Barbabietole which is the roasted beets, mixed greens, goat cheese, evoo and balsamic vinaigrette. Loved the salad but what was missing was the goat cheese, that would've taken the salad over the top. Next we had the Involtini, which is the baked eggplant, housemade ricotta, heirloom tomato sauce and parmigiano. I'm not a fan of eggplant, but this was delicious. The pastas are homemade. We had the Gnocchi di Palate Radici, housemade potato spinach dumplings in a stilton and parmigiano cream al gratin. The gnocchi were soft and pillowy delectable morsels. Loved the cream sauce it was in. We scraped the plate clean. The second pasta we had was the Paccheri Ala amatriciana. The menu indicates the pasta was penne, but actually the pasta that was served was rigatoni. It's served in a creamy vodka sauce with bacon and shallots. We expected this pasta to have some heat to it. Both pastas would've been much better if they were served hot. Both dishes were served luke warm. Service was friendly and attentive. There's parking in the underground garage and also metered street parking. read more

We first ate there on a night they had a tasting menu, it was terrific, everything was delicious.

Recently had a dinner here with a small group. The restaurant itself is nicely designed, feels newer and is pretty spacious compared to other beach city areas. Everyone that we interacted was friendly. Unfortunately they are pretty strict with their menu selections - no substitutions or protein add ons to salads. This was tough for us as someone in our group had dietary needs and the server wasn't able to answer questions about ingredients etc. Dinner tasted okay... a little bland. I enjoyed the appetizers the most. I liked the calamari and garlic bread. The salad was also good. read more

My husband and I first came to this restaurant as a group of 10. We came in only to have a quick drink and headed out to a show. We have been meaning to come back since September! This restaurant is stunning inside. Just very beautifully decorated, lighting, the ambiance is sophisticated, and cozy. They do have limited parking below the restaurant. When you first come in, there is a nicely stocked bar. Augustine, the bartender, was very welcoming and accommodating. The owner, Laura was at the host desk. She sat us and then moved us closer to the window per my husband's request. We were there last night. Sunday night they serve lasagna, apparently it's really good there. I'm not a huge fan of lasagna, but I will say I tried it. It was actually very good, flavorful, good amount of cheese, and meat. I think I liked it because the lasagna noodles were thinner than what is normally served in other restaurants. We also had the salmon limone, garlic loaf, Italian sparkling wine, gelato, panna cotta, and tiramisu. Everything was wonderful. We had a great server too! His name is Gian Franco. He gave his recommendations, he was spot on! This restaurant is also able to accommodate events, I think they said up to 100 people. I really liked this restaurant, I look forward to coming back very soon! read more

What a hidden gem! This place has been here for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally made it in! The owners are amazing at what they do and everything here is TOP NOTCH! I critique food a lot and everything I've eaten here was so delicious and so impressive and so talented that it was hard to try to nitpick on something. Such beautiful and authentic flavors and really true to its cuisine! And the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and stunning right on the water! You cannot go wrong with this place. If you want a beautiful setting and have one of the most incredible Italian dinners of your life, you must come here. read more

We visited last night for a Christmas dinner with a group of eight, including child. Because we were with kids and carrying gifts, finding parking was difficult, so we used the valet service right in front of the restaurant. Unfortunately, this turned our evening into a very upsetting experience. After returning home, I realized that a small pouch I had accidentally left on the car was missing money. Inside the pouch was 100,000 Japanese yen in cash, and it had clearly been taken. This was travel money for an upcoming trip to Japan from today, and because of this incident, we had to leave for our trip without it. What was supposed to be a joyful Christmas dinner turned into a very unpleasant memory. Losing money this way is unacceptable, especially when using a valet service that should be trustworthy and professional. Please take responsibility, properly manage your valet service, and return the money. This should never happen to any customer. read more

My husband and I are regulars here and the food is always exceptional. We also had our rehearsal dinner here and it was perfect.

Recently visited for our anniversary. It's always a wonderful experience. Food is always delicious and service is warm. Would 100% recommend a visit. Can't wait to go back. read more

Everything about this restaurant, from the ambience to the service to the superb quality of the food is top notch. My wife and I often say the best food in Europe is in Italy, but it's far better in Italy than most Italian restaurants in the US - but this place is truly like a fine restaurant in Italy itself. The ingredients, the care, the way you feel great after the meal - it shows on every level. Kudos to this gem. read more

Waited 20 minutes for water. No OJ or grapefruit juice at the bar. Garlic bread took 35 minutes, and by then the special was sold out but didn't know that until 35 min after i ordered. No menu, just a waitress staring at me asking what I want. Ordered Gnocchi and it was swimming in butter and barely edible. Five staff members walking in circles, yet basic service took forever. Rude, chaotic, and completely unorganized. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Amazing place. Venue: classy, well decorated and perfect location. People: awesome service. Friendly and helpful. Food: pasta is perfectly al dente. Not stuck together or mushy. Perfect balance to pick up all the tomato sauce. Umami is very forward and perfect balance of acidity and salt. Holy cow.. best Italian in LA. Better than Bestia . But menu is not as expansive. And there's no pizza. The arancini was creamy, crunchy and light. That's very difficult to execute. Wine list has interesting: Italians with reasonable prices. I'm shocked at how well done this place is!! I'm coming back. We had 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 2 pastas, 1 wine each and 1 dessert. 23% tip and the bill was $200. Great great place. Thank you. My only concern is this place will get too busy!! A MUST TRY! Bon appetit read more

Downtown Hermosa has a lot of cute, good restaurants so we were excited to try this place. When you step inside, there's a bar, hangout area on your left and the sit down area on your right.we ordered their fito misto, garlic loaf, beets salad, truffle pasta, pasta with calamari, pappardelle alla bolognese and braised lamb over gnocchi. Their foods were just okay- i think their garlic loaf was the best thing that we ordered. This is a restaurant with nice vibes to hangout with people but for the food, you can get better italian foods elsewhere read more

Dined at Radici for the first-time last week for a 20-person company dinner. Had two types of bruschetta, two types of pasta, steak, and salmon. Pasta is house-made and perfectly al dente. Sauces did not overwhelm the pasta. Steak and salmon were both delicious and of good quality. Ambience was great- perfect for a date night. Service was solid. Cocktails were elevated (try the Espresso Martini made with NEFT Vodka- so smooth!). Dining room is roomy enough to accommodate large parties. Had a chance to chat with Laura, the wonderful proprietress of Radici. What a lovely woman...and so passionate about the wine and food she serves. She introduced me to one of her chefs after I complimented the food. Had me feeling like a regular. Can't wait to take the missus in for what I know will be another top-notch Italian dinner. I only wish I had dined at this lovely place sooner. Bon Appétit! read more

Delicious! I've had my eye on this restaurant for years and have been following them on social media. Finally visited ti celebrate my birthday. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. I'm not sure if they make their own bread but the garlic bread appetizer melted in our mouths.

Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and the wait staff was very attentive. read more

I can't speak highly enough about this restaurant and the amazing family that owns it, including staff. I took my son and his friend to the beach for his 13th birthday. The hotel that we stayed at recommended this restaurant. When we got there we were greeted by friendly staff and the place was beautiful. They seated us right away. Once looking at the menu I quickly realized that the menu was fine dining and I was scared that my picky eater son and his friend wouldn't eat anything off the menu. So I went to talk to the staff and was greeted with the owner and the chefs. THEY WERE AMAZING!!! They gave me plenty of options for the kids, that weren't on the menu. My son said it was the BEST pizza he had ever had. My son's friend said the same about the spaghetti and meatballs. My food was above and beyond wonderful. This family made us feel like family!!! If I could get adopted by them I would!!! Hahaha. The restaurant was very clean and gorgeous. They surprised my son with a birthday gelato!!!! It was the best experience I have had at a restaurant in a very long time. If you are looking for a place to go with family or a romantic dinner for 2, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beautiful, loving, caring, delicious restaurant. read more

Exceptional service! Great food. Lots of space. Highly recommended! The Mozzarella Bruchetta was excellent

Their garlic bread.. their bolognese... and their calamari with a side of an orange martini... all so delicious! First time dining and it was a pleasant experience! We had reservations as they opened for dinner and it was perfect! We sat next to the window and felt the ocean breeze during dinner- I was in heaven! My friends had their truffle pasta and their steak options and they were both satisfied with everything. Service was great and they surprised me with a birthday sorbet with a large candle which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is on the second floor and has a beautiful ambience throughout. Our server and the owner were very warm, friendly, and attentive. I would definitely return to try the rest of their menu items! read more

Impressed. definitely an authentic Italian restaurant. No short cuts. You can tell these are recipes passed down thru the ages. Not that I don't like the other Italian restaurants in the south bay, but Radici seems to elevate their dishes without trying to "improve" what is already perfect. Don't forget to order the bread with your meal. As a baker myself I was tempted to ask for the recipe. excellent all around. read more

Amazing restaurant! The ambiance is great and the restaurant is very well designed. The food is incredible--old school Italian, home made from scratch. The executive chef hand pounds the veal. The pasta is made fresh. Service is impeccable and the drinks are tasty! Highly recommend veal piccata, bolognese. The arugula salad is refreshing. The garlic loaf is to die for. Advise calling restaurant to gain access to basement parking. This is our new favorite Italian restaurant. Good for special events too. read more

A table I'd long hoped to claim, By candlelight, Radici lived up to its name. Burrata like silk, with richness to spare, And ragù clung to fettuccine with care. The corkage, a kindness; the coffee, a kiss-- Affogato to close in a moment of bliss. Four stars tonight, but I'm bound to explore-- For next time, Radici might earn one more. read more

Chill vibe, food was super good, service was top notch, Lisa was the best, super attentive and professional

Six of us had dinner here recently. For starters we had: Arancini Ragu - pretty good Calamari Fritti - not bad Burrata Caprese - very good Then for dinner entrees, we had Fettuccini al'Guanciale, Pappardelle Bolognese, Lamb Shank and Chicken Parmigiana. All of them were reasonably good. But none of them were "wow - I want to order THAT again." Portions were on the smaller side. Service was fine. Overall, we enjoyed the dinner. But with so many choices in the area, we probably would not rush back soon. read more
