Came here for a birthday celebration and for the amount of people we had, they were very accommodating. You don't interact with servers as much since everything is order and pay at the table through a QR code that you scan. The vibe here is super cute and aesthetic. I love every detail of the decor! As for the food, I got a side of potatoes which were an absolute 10/10. I also tried the Rigatoni alla Vodka. The portions are on the smaller side and while the potatoes stood out, the pasta wasn't my favorite. The noodles were cooked well and it had a good amount of sauce, but I think I was expecting a bit more flavor. I'd definitely try something different next time since my expectations were pretty high. I was originally looking for spaghetti and meatballs, but didn't see it on the main menu. I later noticed it was on the kids menu, which I don't usually check so I missed it. Parking is a hit or miss, but that's expected for the area. I spent about 15 minutes looking for parking.

White Riot pizza!!

The food here is really great and when you're inside the restaurant, it actually puts you in the mindset of NY pizza joint. The service here was good and the staff is kind! I will say we had a minor issue when it came to our food which delayed one of our dishes, but the staff remade it with no issues after that. Parking isn't too bad since it's street parking but plan more time if you are coming here during a weekend!

Classic pizza with pepperoni and mushroom

First time here, great energy as soon as you walk in greeted amazing by the host Services on point the whole entire staff is super friendly. The food was exceptional. The Caesar salad was perfection and the pizza is awesome. The ambience is wonderful.

I liked the decor of the place. The crust of the pizza was a bit too thin and could not support the toppings. The server was nice but left me waiting to close out. I ended up asking the bartender to do it. I'll give it another chance in the future.

Festive ambiance and seating upstairs

I tried Sonny's on two separate occasions and both experiences were superb! The first time I ate here was New Year's Eve for my husband's birthday. The atmosphere was lively, the staff service was friendly and food service was even quicker for being a holiday surprisingly. We ordered the Pineapple Express Pizza and Pistachio Pesto Pasta. The pasta was great 10/10 and pizza was just as pleasing. We also tried the Zucchini Fritti and Classic NY Style Cheese Pizza also 10/10. What's also great about this place is you can utilize the QR code at the table to place your orders if you need to. So you don't always need to flag down staff to place your order. I would absolutely come here again and recommend it to others too!

Love this place! Been here twice now and had to go back to try the pasta. The pasta was good for sure but this is definitely all about the pizza. Such a great Margherita Pizza and also I get the Pineapple Express with vegan meat. If you like that little kick with sweetness, I would recommend extra jalapeños. As much as it is sin for some people, I recommend asking for ranch cuz it's also bomb and just adds that goodness to the pizza! Perfect for their crust. The pesto was definitely unique. Longer, wider noodles in the pesto sauce. With how much pasta there was, I don't think there were enough tomatoes. Although the pastas were good, I'd recommend the pizza. Very easy to order from the little table number QR code if needed. Waiters come in and check on you through your visit. Overall such a vibe. Very cute date night spot that's casual but feels classy. It smells like the most delicious pizza ever!

Rigatoni Alla Vodka and Tagliatelle Bolognese
Shannon S.

Absolutely amazing!! We had noticed this restaurant a few weeks ago and were so excited to go there!! We realized when we got there we should have done reservations, so we sat at the bar. We may only ever sit at the bar from now on because the service was sooo great! We were helped by Aja the bartender the most and she was so great! The restaurant owner Matt has an exceptional employee! The food was amazing and so flavorful! We had the Tagliatelle Bolognese and Rigatoni Alla Vodka with a Pesto for the People pizza! All amazing!! Go there!!! We can't wait to go back!

Drinks, cheers!

Sonny's is a vibey nostalgic spot for pizza. The food is spot on -- pizza is delicious, can't go wrong with the famous original but Blitzkrieg Bop is also good with the pepperoni cups. Do not sleep on the housemade pastas. Spaghetti with marinara is simple but absolutely tasty. Rigatoni alla vodka was good but under-seasoned. (Skip the focaccia though, it's just their baked pizza dough.) Plus a fun drink menu! Service left a lot to be desired. After the hostess seats you -- booths and tables inside, additional seating outside (there's also a bar) -- you're left on your own. If you can flag down a waitstaff, you can order with them. Otherwise you have to order through their QR code. The first time we went, the lack of waitstaff wasn't a problem. But the second time we went, it was definitely an issue. Our food came out very slowly and in no particular order. They also missed an item in our order, so we had to flag someone down twice (it took over 40 minutes for the dish to come out). Sonny's is still a great spot to check out, but adjust your expectations accordingly with their service (or lack thereof).

Charcuterie

Great place!! This months dinner with old friends new places... really fun vibe, great food, the pasta made fresh was my favorite!! Really fun place! Have the option to order yourself off a QR code or have service which is great both ways! Definitely worth a try!! The pistachio pesto handkerchief pasta was my absolute favorite!! Wish they had more beer on tap, but still great options in the larger cans.

Under half filled boulevardier
Rj L.

Took a friend out of town to this spot, not having been here myself I was expecting much more from what I saw from social media! The boulevardier was underwhelming, felt shorted with the pour not to mention it was near $20. The pizza was nothing special, got half of their blitz with jalepeno and half standard. Nothing crazy. The best thing we ordered might've been the rigatoni vodka pasta and that was served luke warm. Service was great everyone was friendly, the space itself is nice and cozy but I won't be coming back for the food.

Rhinestone cowboy cocktail
Kyra M.

Such an amazing unexpected restaurant. Very casual atmosphere the service is impeccable especially the bartenders are so friendly and very upbeat attitude. The food and drinks are very fast. We got a pizza and four cocktails drinks came out within five minutes and the pizza maybe came out within 15 minutes. They have a very large authentic pizza oven in the middle of the restaurant . Kids and dogs are welcome . The love story #2 is a great cocktail . The Aquarius is an awesome cocktail that comes with the zodiac card specific to your sign. The round rhinestone cowboy is a great bourbon drink. All the cocktails are very elevated all the exact same price of $15 and great presentation. 10/10

Menu 9/2025
Tammie W.

If you're looking for a meal and drinks with a large bill and non-existent service, head to Sonny's. We arrived on a Saturday at 6, were seated upstairs, and told to scan a code to place our order. For $80, we shared a pizza, salad, and two drinks. The Caesar was heavily dressed and lacked crunch after being weighed down by the dressing. The pizza was good, crust had a nice chew, but was Parmesan heavy. The drinks were strong and my drink was the same cost as the pizza. The most disappointing aspect is you're on your own once you're seated. We grabbed our own box, grabbed extra napkins, and luckily had a carafe of water or else would probably have to get that too. The interior is great, gives off old pizza parlors vibes but that's where it ends. I really hope Sonny's can figure out what they're going for and improve their service game.

Best damn pizza we have had in a long time!…read more After a day of sightseeing, we were too tired to go out for dinner. Pizza was the perfect option. So, as a Yelper I scrolled until I found something great. Most importantly it had to be delivery. This was our first time trying Landini's so you can't really go wrong with a pepperoni and mushroom, right! The Pizzeria was too far from our hotel across from the bay. Delivery was efficient and quick.... Upon delivery, our pizza was nice and hot. Like I said, it was the best damn pizza we have had in a while. We just wish we lived closer. Please get a location(s) in LA. Specifically the San Fernando Valley. Please lol

Stopped in for lunch and the cashier was very friendly and provided great service. Slices were…read morearound $6 which is on the higher-end but we did order 4 slices which was great because they have a Buy 3 get 1 Free slice deal everyday. They have some seating inside which was nice and clean too. The meatball and ricotta was an okay slice. The meatball and overall slice could have used some more flavor/seasoning. I also gota pepperoni, basil, ricotta, hot honey slice which was better. The crust was decent and had more chew than crisp. While it was okay, I'd prefer to go to another shop when I'm craving a slice.

The coolest Deli and restaurant in the back place we have ever been too. This was my husband's and…read moremy first stop after our train ride . We were hungry ! We shared a sub so delicious and filling . Our server was also so lovely and sweet and helped us pick the best on their menu . It really is a glimpse to Italy here the smells , the look and the years of great food !

Pizza Wasn't the Only Thing Getting Fired Up Outside…read more We weren't even customers here, but after what I saw outside this place I definitely won't be one in the future. We were standing on the sidewalk near the red seating area in front of Filippi's Pizza Grotto for about ten minutes finishing a smoke. I had recently experienced a flare-up of a chronic illness, which significantly affected my well-being. During this episode,I had felt the need to smoke as a way to manage the heightened stress and discomfort caused by my condition. Right as we finished and were about to leave, a police car pulled up (it honestly looked like the officer was just stopping by to grab lunch). That's when an older lady employee from the restaurant suddenly came outside and said, "Do you mind moving down? The smoke is going into my restaurant." Fair request. We immediately responded respectfully with "Sorry miss," and started walking away to avoid any issue. But instead of leaving it there, she kept escalating the situation while they were already leaving, repeating things like "This is a family business, have some respect!" -- which didn't really make sense considering we had already apologized and were doing exactly what she asked. What made the whole thing feel strange was the timing. We had been standing there for around ten minutes already. If the smoke was truly bothering the restaurant, why wait until the exact moment a police car pulled up to come outside and confront us? From the outside, it honestly looked like the presence of the police suddenly gave her the confidence to make a scene and try to draw attention to us even though we were already complying. It appears she wanted to get us into legal trouble with her making it a bigger scene in front of the police. Another thing that didn't sit right with me was that we were the only Hispanics standing in the area at the time and the only people she chose to confront. I'm not saying that was the intention, but from a bystander's perspective it definitely didn't look great. Also, I'm still confused by the "this is a family restaurant" comment. What exactly does that mean in this situation? Are people who smoke not allowed to eat there? Because we weren't even customers at the moment we were simply standing on a public sidewalk and immediately moved when asked. If someone respectfully complies with your request, there's really no reason to continue escalating the situation or trying to involve the police by drawing attention to it. If this is how people are treated outside the restaurant, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence about how customers are treated inside. It appears that if you're Hispanic or a smoker you should steer clear of this place. I wouldn't be surprised if she has ICE on speed dial.

When we got there it was a 45 min wait so we sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice and helpful. The cider I got was ok but it was only $9 so I'm not complaining. Let's talk about food. I got the burrata pizza. This was my fault cause i was still expecting sauce but there was none. Which I kind of understand but for $19 I would have rather just got a burrata platter as like a dip. The dough was honestly amazing. Crust is very fluffy, closer to the center is extremely thin. Overall it was good and fresh but I wouldn't pay $19 for it again. Sister got the spicy salami. Again the dough was good. Sauce was good definitely a more savory red sauce. Salami was fs spicy, we love spice but this fs had a kick. Overall good I think it could have been great with a hot honey. Pizza is on the bigger side. There's only 4 slices but it's more like 8 regular slices. More than enough for one person. We both only had half and saved the rest for home. To wrap it up, the ambiance is good for a nice night out but the food is only ok for the price. Very fresh and good but I would rather spend less on a good pizza than more on a gourmet place. Would recommend for a nice date night or something like that.

This place was absolutely amazing. To start off with the most important part, the food. We began…read morethe meal with the mini fried calzones with mozzarella and tomato sauce inside and they were great. You could tell the bread was super fresh and high quality so I would recommend it. Next, we got a glass of prosecco. I told the waiter that I only like wine that tastes much more sweet then bitter or strong and he made a perfect suggestion along with giving us a sampler of 3 different wines which was so generous. I got to try them all and pick the one I liked the most, but even the samples were a generous size. For main course I got one of the current options for the cheese wheel pasta they make in front of you in cacio e pepe and my husband got the formaggi pizza with truffle mushrooms. My husband absolutely loved his pizza and the crust was one of the best he's ever had. My pasta was fresh and had a ton of sauce and cream so they didn't skimp at all. I could tell easily that they use very high quality Parmesan because i'm a Parmesan connoisseur and could taste how potent it was. They let me have as much extra as I wanted on without limiting since I enjoy a lot on it which was also a plus in my book. Next time I would get a pasta that's a little lighter, because it was a more heavy dish and it tends to make me feel pretty full after which is totally a me thing, but they have so much on the menu to try that I'm sure I'll love whatever I get even more next time. Lastly, dessert. We got a regular tiramisu and it was absolutely amazing. They put a ton of cream which is exactly what I look for. It wasn't too espresso or cocoa strong and had a perfect ratio. The cream was so light and fluffy that we had to get another one to bring home and eat tomorrow night! I had seen a previous review on here about someone not liking the tiramisu here and it not meeting their expectations for a more upscale Italian place but I've been to quite a few authentic Italian gems and this one had tiramisu up there so I'd have to disagree and completely recommend! The service was impeccable. Every waiter was kind and prompt, constantly making sure we were taken care of and getting what we needed. The atmosphere was also a plus for us because we have a 1 year old baby and there was enough room where we weren't too cramped or crowded in, and it wasn't too loud or overstimulating. The place was very clean and taken care of as well as the bathrooms. All in all, I loved this place and I will be coming back. I would definitely recommend Monello for a nice little date night, and don't forget the tiramisu.

Still, everything came out promptly and we felt well taken care of. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed lunch or happy hour in Little Italy.

I honestly come just for this. It's served with a honeycomb on the side, and drizzling the honey over the warm, cheesy bread is next‑level. After that, pizzas came out -- simple, toasty, and really good -- followed by pasta with chicken and sausage served on the side. Everyone left with full bellies. The service was great, and they even wrapped and boxed all the leftovers for us. One thing to note: they do the whole photo‑taking and printed‑photo sales pitch, kind of like what you see at amusement parks when you first walk in. The photos are cute, but it can feel a little invasive. Overall, a lovely restaurant and a great event experience.
