If I didn't look up pictures of this place prior to coming here, I would've missed it. This place is covered in orange tarp and they don't have a sign outside, sort of hard to spot while driving. Street parking only so it might be tough depending on the time of day. I recently came with my friends for a birthday celebration and we were impressed. The atmosphere here is amazing, very intimate! We were seated in their garden patio and our server brought out water and bread for us immediately. The complimentary bread came out fresh and paired very well with the dipping sauces (balsamic and tomato tapenade). The servers were very knowledgeable of the menu and very attentive. We ordered the pesto fettuccine with shrimp, squid ink pasta, lasagna and a bottle of wine (forgot which one the server suggested). Although the squid ink pasta wasn't as good as everyone said, it was still my favorite one. There were a few baby pieces of squid but I would've liked more. Also, it might not be the ideal thing to order if you're on a date because it'll stain your mouth. Prices are very reasonable considering the portions and the quality. This place is great for smaller groups or a nice date night. Oh, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to make a reservation before you go! read more

Great food, BUT, they are so so so short staffed in the kitchen that I felt terrible for the cook/chef and the 2 more people in the kitchen!! They were just running the whole time and obviously didn't get the food ready on time! Enough waiters but not cooks! I hope the owners read this and get some help for the poor crew in the kitchen and not just think about their profit!!! Ugh! I'd never go back to a place I see such scenes!! read more

This place confuses me. - Ambiance is great, cozy, well designed space and family meal vibe while still feeling upscale. Also, who doesn't love being surrounded by plants? - Staff and vibe is on the pretentious side / not thrilled about being there from the energy. They seem frustrated by each interaction where you start feeing bad to be a guest there and feel guilty asking for anything (poor hosting). - The food...... Great Italian to me is simple dishes done extremely well. Each ingredient has to be right to let the dish shine. I've eaten a lot of things here and nearly every one feels bland and lifeless. It doesn't fee like it was cooked out of passion. Every dish felt under seasoned and uninspired. I'd look other places for great Italian, if you want a sexy date spot where you can be left alone then it's a good move. read more

Just placed an order for delivery of the amatriciana and bottarga and it is literally the worst pasta I've ever had in my life. I called to ask why my noodles had the consistency of microwaved old noodles and was told that there is no microwave and that the bottarga doesn't travel well. If something doesn't "travel well" and you only offer carry out or delivery perhaps you should remove it off the menu? Also the bucatini were overcooked to the point where they turned to mush, better suited for a geriatric hospital patient than a customer of a respectable restaurant. As a finishing touch, the bocce ball desert was melted upon arrival. Wonderful all around. read more

At first, this place is a bit hard to find as its whole entrance is tented out, but if you peek into it, you'll see the Speranza lettering on the window of the small interior. Felt like an off choice at first, but once you're in the tent, it all makes sense. Most of the restaurant is actually an outdoor patio with heating, with limited seating on the inside. Makes for a nice cozy vibe and a great date spot! So, great décor, check. The food that came along with it didn't disappoint and it was all nicely shareable (make sure to let them know so they portion it out for you). We ordered a few dishes: Caprese to start, Linguine Terra y Mare (shrimp and asparagus) in cream sauce and finished with an Osso Buco with Braised Veal with a side of steamed spinach (which was the most lackluster of the bunch as there was barely any seasoning on the spinach). Every single ingredient used in the various dishes shined, felt fresh and tasted great. There was no subtlety, in a good way, bold flavors were on display for both the pasta and the meat dish. I'm sure to be back as there were many things on the menu that looked great and that I wish we could have tried. read more

The smell of fresh boiling pasta is everywhere. Inside the tent, humidity is high. You may find your skin glowing by the steams from the cooking pasta. Make a reservation, come hungry, come earlier to look for Street parking and waiting for your name to be called while people watching. To those with tiny stomach, allow yourself to only a few pieces of their warm baguette. I know its quite tempting staring at the sun dried tomatoes & olives spreads; but you are here for the pasta; finishing it up in one meal deems satisfying and environmental friendly. The cheerful staffs will get your dessert and Americano just at the right moment. Smack your dessert spoon and neck down your coffee, pay your check and get up from your table so other hungry souls can have their pasta too. I really like their ink pasta, strong aroma reminds me of little fish port and sea breeze. It is a tat salty, well the squid are from the ocean; I don't find myself going after water. read more

The food is great, the service is not. The worst part is, they brought us the check and it was 200.00. We looked and they added so many deserts and drinks that we did not have. When they came back to collect payment, we said this is not our bill. The server said "yes it is " we said we did not have champagne and desert. He came back with the correct bill. We paid then they added a 14% service charge. Speranza must mean shady:(( wont be back. read more

Synopsis: really cute spot with good food. I'd definitely be back. We came here without a reservation on a Wednesday night to find the restaurant packed, so we waited about 25 minutes for a table. Note that the host is in the "back" of the restaurant. You are seated al fresco and there are heaters scattered throughout. They also have blankets at the tables, which is a thoughtful touch. When you're seated, they bring warm bread to the table with a tomato sauce and an olive tapanede (?) -- delish; wish we were offered more bread bc we were starving! We ordered the bruschetta and beef carpaccio to start. My friends said the bruschetta was DELICIOUS and I can attest to the fact that was carpaccio was also so good. We also ordered the calamari on arugula, which is savory and tender pan fried calamari (this is not in the appetizer section of the menu, but the seafood). Would recommend all of these starters. For our mains, we got a variety of pastas. One friend got the ziti alla norma and said it was good. Another friend got the bucatini all' amatriciana, which he said was just okay. My boyfriend got the fettucine primavera which was very good (if I wanted to be picky, it was slightly under-salted but delicious as-is). I got the linguine alle vongole, which was SO good and satisfying that I wish I could have drank the sauce/broth that remained after the pasta was done. I would definitely order these 2 pasta dishes again. Tiramisu for dessert was excellent. Service was acceptable, but not over-the-top attentive (which is fine for me). Water cups were always filled and our server was very nice. It is worth noting that after our friend's bucatini hadn't come out 20 min after ours had, we had to remind our server; I'm thinking the server then prompted the kitchen as they had forgotten because it came out soon after. Also, staff asked whether we were done with dishes when there was still half the food still on the plate. Prices are VERY reasonable. We parked a block or so away on a meter-less street, so it was free. read more

If you come to this restaurant be willing to wait more than an hour for your food. It's ridiculous to have to pay 18% service fee when they make you wait so long. We didn't order plates that take 30 minutes to cook because we didn't want to wait and anyways we had to wait. The food it's not worth the wait and the price. I don't recommend Speranza. read more

This is the second year in a row that my boyfriend and I have stopped by Speranza on our time in LA. This time we made a reservation (which we highly recommend, because there is not a good area to wait if you just show up.) The food is good but nothing to write home about. My boyfriend and I ordered an Endive and Gorgonzola salad to start and it lacked salt and seasoning. But after some olive oil and salt it was fine. For dinner we ordered a Clam and Linguine dish and the lasagna. The food was good Italian food but definitely did not blow us away and was not as good as we remembered. The service was sporadic. For drinks we ordered an Aperol Spritz (the only liquor they offer) - the rest is beer and wine. The spritz were $14 a pop which seemed a bit high for drink. Overall if you need an Italian restaurant in Silverlake it's a good option but not the best. read more

Meanwhile the other group of 8 who'd arrived after us was served and left before our food had even arrived. Not to mention minutes after we got our food they were already coming over trying to get plates from us and get us to leave. So, if you go here and you're hungry don't expect to eat anytime soon. read more

Al fresco dining with a lively crowd. It's not our first time here and it's become a late evening favorite for dinner. Most restaurants in the area are open only until 10pm...Speranza closes at midnight most nights. Our server Camille was quite attentive, smiled a lot, and was engaging. We had the cheese plate, insalata finocchio, and the bolognese. The latter was so-so. It's been better but it wasn't bad. -They are quite busy for dinner so be prepared to wait if you have no reservations. -valet; parking on the street can be a bear especially since this place is across the street from Hyperion Public. Don't sweat it though, a bit of walking isn't going to kill you. -It's definitely popular for birthday celebrations. -great bread and two different kinds of homemade marinara dipping sauces -perfect date spot -they do allow dogs since it's al fresco dining (As a two-dog owner, I'm not thrilled about dining with pooches but whatever.) read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of LA. Makes me feel like I'm back in Italy. Authentic fresh food. Good service. They let you enjoy your wine and food at your pace. Beautiful patio. The prices are great. Crowd is great too. I used to go at least once a week. Haven't gone in a while. Was sending the link to recommend to my friends and then I saw Gigi something's one star review and it super bothered me because u can totally tell that was not a true reflection of this restaurant but just a reflection of what a crummy person she must be to "knew I would hate" the place before she even went. God knows if she is a competitor or a just that bitter of a person either way I feel bad for her surroundings and and happy she won't be at my beautiful all time fav Italian restaurant. Enough of that tho. I love the shrimp asparagus, love the black ink squid, love their wines and always, always always gotta get the tiramisu for dessert. Oh and their fresh bread served before food is so delicious with their fresh tomato dip and olive oil and salt. Ok I want to be transported there now. read more

Wow! So, we were here on vacation from Connecticut. Originally, we stopped at Tam O'Shanter for some LA History. Ok...ok...Disney history. But, when we showed up, they were closed for a private event. After talking to one of the gentlemen who turned us away..."where would be a good place to go for some 'authentic' LA food?" He recommended Speranza. I wasn't really in the mood for Italian, but hey..."you won't find any tourists there, in fact they don't even have a sign." I'm willing to try. Prologue: I grew up in an Italian house in New England. Homemade sauce 3-4 days a week (Aunts, uncles, grandparents...especially grandparents) all varying degrees of great. Sauce isn't found in a jar. Have yet to find a restaurant that is as good. Until now. Wow! Just, Wow. I had the Puttanesca, my daughter had the Bolognese, and my son had the marinara. Amazing, these sauces could go toe to toe with any homemade. Friendly staff, and amazing food that won't break the bank. read more

I've been to Speranza a few times. It's main redeeming quality is the cool backyard atmosphere. However, I really don't understand why it's as popular as it is. The food is always SO bad, sometimes even disgusting( shaved artichoke salad) or old (fish). I definitely don't trust the quality of their food products. I guess people go for the huge portions of cheap bland pasta that they can take home in a doggybag and make edible with some Sriracha. I hope the owners try to step up their game and do what it takes to properly staff the kitchen or find someone with a passion for food to help this restaurant achieve its potential. read more

I absolutely love this spot. I don't usually crave Italian food but it's my boyfriends favorite so when we have to decide where to go I'm always suggesting Speranza. I love the ambiance, it's cozy and romantic. You're sitting outside surrounded by trees and greenery but it doesn't feel like outdoor seating. This place is always packed when I'm there so definitely try to call ahead of time and get a reservation. As for the food. You really can't go wrong with anything EVERYTHING is great! My favorites include the bolognese (it's ranked #1 on my list of bolognese pasta I'e had), the steak, and the lamb chops. The service is always great and the waiting staff is ready to answer any menu or drink questions you might have. If you're in the mood for Italian you can't go wrong with Speranza. read more

I don't usually gravitate towards Italian. If you asked me to pick a restaurant for dinner, Italian wouldn't be my first, or second, or even third choice.. but DAYUM Speranza, because of you, I may need to reconsider my life choices. Burrata? Bomb. Squid ink linguine? Bomb. Perfectly cooked pasta. The tender baby squids were to die for, sorry baby squids!! Seared scallops? Bomb. Perfectly seared. The complimentary bread basket? Yeah, that was bomb too. I went with Diana T., who used to live in Italy, and this got her seal of approval (she's also the reason how we ended up here).

Beet carpaccio salad was fantastic -- the cheese they use isn't strong at all which balances out the mild bitterness of the arugula and the mild sweetness of the beets. Wow!

But the star player of the evening was the squid ink pasta -- WOWWWW -- baby squid pieces and the sauce was squidy tasting. So good. Be careful though -- don't splatter cuz the ink will stain.

speranza had a good atmosphere, good for dates, and pretty good food. I ordered a rigatoni Bolognese, it was very flavorful and meaty. I really liked it. Also ordered a side of peas and bruchetta. The peas we're just cooked like normal. The bruchetta was very tasty and garlicky. The bread and dip that the server gave us was also very good. The only downside I would say is that we waited a long time. We waited almost 40 mins for a seat, and then we waited at least 30 more for the food. Some of the food listed on the menu says you can expect to wait 30 mins if you order that, but we didn't order anything off that menu. Def make reservations before you come. It was very busy even into the night, and we finished dinner around 10. Service was varying, depending on which server it was. One young lady was very nice, while another was dismissive. read more

Having wine with someone who knows wine is really fun!!! I encourage everyone to try it sometime. This place was interesting. The decor was pretty pimp, and romantic. The tight quarters didn't make it so romantic. Nothing like some dudes elbow hitting your back when your trying to focus on the cutie in front of you, then you realize you couldn't see her cause it's so dark! duh. i digress. The service was marvelous, and the wine selection was pretty good. The nice host let us try four different grape juices before picking a bottle (pic attached). I couldn't keep track of the wines except by the only way I memorize... By giving it nicknames... The selected wine was "Roma." Nice and earthy, blah blah. The only thing i know about wine is how to drink the shit. All the food we ordered came in a petri dish. For you uneducated mongrels, that means a dish the size of a small cigarette ashtray... Lasagna was delicious. That's the only petri dish i finished.... We didn't finish the other petri dishes cause they sucked. Good thing i ate like an elf that day(still a bit sick) otherwise I would have needed 5 more lasagnas. This spot wasn't that expensive... One bottle of wine and three petri dishes came out $75 Speranza is a wonderful place. and like all things from my neighboring hometown, parking sucks!!! read more

When Speranza was good, it was really good! Case in point: bottarga linguine The pasta was firm and fresh, coated with enough roe to give it a nice roasted-rice-like soft-gritty texture, with the anchovies all piled up on top to give a nice view before mixing them in. Despite sounding like it was going to be way too salty, it was not, in fact, too salty. Companions' dishes were not quite up to the standard of my linguine, though. The salt-crusted baked branzini was decent, but tiny for $24 and without much flavor. It was gone in 6 bites without any evidence of its purported baking technique. The endive and blue cheese salad was fairly gross (and I like blue cheese) because the endive was droopy and browning. If I return, I'm returning for the pastas, because the borrowed bites I had were all pretty impressive, even one person's gluten-free version. read more

sa-tire, n. trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly Where do I start? No valet. Might as well have gone to Barbrix across the street - _they_ have valet. All of Silverlake should have a centralized multi-story parking lot. I mean, get over this whole tiny little village enclave thing. It's LA...should be like downtown. Or LAX. Don't BYOB - a corkage fee? Don't you realize who I am? Just because people really like your sub $10 by the glass selections, doesn't mean I'll fall for it. I visited Silverlake Liquor before arriving here, and I don't intend to pay for you to open my buon vino nor rent a glass. And mine's fortified, so it's better. Why is the pasta chewy? It should be soft. Mom always made it really soft for us. She said we'd like it that way. Boiled for hours, especially in that mild tomatoey sauce. Nothing like that weird smoky and verdant black ink version with those weird handmade chewy noodles like here. And those so-called pizzas. I don't remember ever drizzling EVO on a pizza. CostCo doesn't do that. Why is the crust so annoyingly tasty? How am I supposed to stay low-carb and only eat the toppings, if the crust tastes good? There are so few restaurants with good service anywhere. Everywhere I go, I seem to have to complain loudly, send things back to the kitchen to fix everything, tell them again to use no salt, no butter, and I'm allergic to garlic and onions. What's so difficult to make Italian food the right way, without all that? And did I mention, no valet? I'll have you know, that I know lamb chops, and these were no lamb chops. These juicy and moist rare things were way too tender to be lamb. And there was no crunchy deep-fried crust either. And what about the 13 secret herbs and spices? And lamb chops were supposed to have dark gravy, so you can sop up some moisture to make up for their normally jerky-like texture. Not like this silly aus jus balsamic reduction. And don't get me started on no mint jelly. These mild and non-gamey chops of yours didn't have nearly enough funk to need jelly. And everyone knows lamb=mint jelly. Desserts - hmph. Real tiramisu comes in plastic cups with those cute tear-off lids. This fluffy indulgent creme and espresso layered expression they brought was nothing like it. And those meringues did not come from where only authentic ones do, from Hostess. Looks like you tried making those by hand. And they came out way too delicate. Dad used to say you always know a good meringue by the tooth chip. Dad was a great iron smelter. Tastebuds of steel, we used to say. Any place that keeps selling out of it's dishes is simply not up to my standards. They should all be as replete as a Vegas Buffet or HomeTown - steam tables to keep things hot like they're supposed to, and all you can consume. I am glad 5 stars is the lowest rating here. I pay pretty close attention to details, as you can see, so I know terrible when I see it. Don't even have to eat there. Just like I didn't see this place - totally missing the neon boot-shaped sign proper Italian places always have. They're all wondering what I've been doing with my phone, typing this whole article in when they brought my entree 30 minutes ago. And look, it's cold. Typical. nb: don't look for that welcoming jug of wine on the table either. I guess only the high-class places know the service traditions. $avings Tip: if you keep your glass always a little over half-filled, they only charge you for one glass. /satire read more

I want to stress that this is strictly for the lobster risotto. Ordered two through Postmates - both straight up bland with absolutely no seasoning, no flavor. All I tasted was risotto with lobster, there was nothing creamy about it or tasteful. I was soooo disappointed to have spent $29 on each. I only took 3 bites, then just ate all the lobster. The practical asian in me kept cheering myself on saying "just eat it, it can't be that bad," but I started gagging the more I tried. I can't believe that Speranza didn't live up to the hype. read more

Both were good but enjoyed the Burratina more. Then we shared a plate of Cacio Pollo Pappardelle. Yum! Creamy rich with perfectly cooked pasta. We finished with a battle of the desserts: flan vs flourless cake. The cake was light and slightly bitter in a good way but the clear winner was the flan. The texture and flavor were fantastic. Highly recommend for the quality and value!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Maccheroni Republic!!!…read more I've been going to this place since 5 years ago and it's still one of my absolute favorite places in LA. So worth going to downtown for. The service is impeccable and very friendly to you. They're really knowledgeable about their dishes too. The place just reeks of experience and professionalism. And I can't even start with the dishes. From the vongole down to the tiramisu, everything is delectable and perfect. The only downside is they raised their prices over the years I loved it when I used to get pasta for less than 20 bucks a few years ago. And the wait tends to be terrible so I would try to go earlier (opening) next time or just hop to a bar nearby while on the waitlist. Overall, I will forever love this place (unless they change the chef for worse) and so worth going every time.

My sister and I came in without reservations around 8pm and they sat us inside on the counter after 10 minutes of waiting. They were pretty full for table dining. 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!

Bestia

Still stands-up to the hype after all these years…read more If "Trendy" was a restaurant, Bestia would easily be in top contention, even after being around for more than a decade. That says a lot. Once upon a time (a few years ago), my CFP + banking institution wanted to thank me for being one of their top private clients. They expressed their gratitude with a very generous, all expense paid full-course meal at Bestia. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. Fast forward to now, I knew that coming back here would be a good idea. Make no mistake, even if you try to book a reservation several weeks in-advance, don't be surprised if the only available seats are at the counter. Granted, I was in a spacey table during my past visit, the counter can be an enjoyable & unintentionally entertaining space. It's great for a more casual vibe, as you get to see some of the kitchen workers put together some of their signature dishes. In many ways, Bestia seems like a microcosm of the city that it rather humbly resides within. What always catches me off-guard, is that the surrounding simple area really doesn't reflect the happening, vibrant, night-life that resides within the building's walls. You feel like you're taken so a different, very social, very bustling world. WINE: Podere 72, Poderi San Lazzaro (Marche region, central Italy) - 8.7 / 10 A very robust blend of Montepulciano & Sangiovese grapes that results in a balanced, medium bodied red wine that stands-up to heartiness of a beef ribeye steak. FOOD: Roasted Bone Marrow - 9.4/ 10 I have several friends that go here just for this particular dish. Funny enough, one can almost always tell that one is at Bestia because of the rather peculiar manner in which this dish is served. Hot, melted bone marrow is appropriately scooped out of the bone & poured onto spinach gnocchetti. It's like eating beef flavored mouth pillows of potato + spinach. It's definitely a dish that will impress whoever you are with. I can never resist ordering this whenever I am here. Oxtail alla Vaccinara - 8.9 / 10 The deep, rich maroon color of the rigatoni (thanks to beets) is a sight to behold. The pasta is firm but not too hard. It's a humble yet complex pasta dish that complements any main course. 26oz Margaret River Wagyu Ribeye - 9.4 / 10 Anybody who knows me knows that I love my ribeye. Any decent fancy restaurant does a ribeye. But no one does a ribeye quite like Bestia. The fermented mushroom cream delivers a punch of pungence not unlike a delectable dijon mustard, but to the highest of levels. This dish also makes me a believer in well-cooked onions served alongside steak. I usually like to take a home a portion of ribeye for later, but this is one of the very few instances when the steak is so good, that I can't help but finish it here. Again, the portion is more than enough to be shared. Fromage Blanc Mousse - 9.1 / 10 This seasonal dish hits all the right notes. It's the fanciest of cheesecakes, so I recommend sharing this. With its decadence, a little truly goes a long way & that's perfectly fine. The richness of the cheese is offset perfectly by the right balance of candied kumquats. A great "bite" to end on. Huge shout-out & thanks to Radu for being the nicest & most enthusiastic of servers. It's little things like him being so down to take pics of you with your party that really make me want to come back here. It the owners / management is reading this, please recognize how pivotal he is to your team. If he was working under me, I would most definitely give him a raise. Also, shout-out to Dani at the hostess stand. She is one of the most personable people. For being the first person that patrons see upon entering, she is the perfect face, attitude, & welcoming personality that the hospitality industry is in dire need of. She's a rockstar of a hostess & a pleasure to talk with. Bestia is a better place because of valuable employees like Radu & Dani. As always, come for the food. Come back for the service. I would definitely come back because of how amazing Radu & Dani are. Years after the hype, the vibe is still very much happening at Bestia.

We felt the booth seats shaking the entire time. We looked back at the people behind us, and they also looked at us wondering where the shaking was coming from. We had a full on conversation searching for the source. IT was like an earthquake with the seats rattling around and became really distracting. MY seatmate date and I later figured out the movement was from the party across from us. I guess all the booths are connected. It was really loud in the restaurant as expected. 3 starts for atmosphere and the vibe I got from our waiter. THe food was on point and delcious Bestia 10/10 quality for the pasta and pizza. The Peruvian scallops were forgettable. The duck was over salted. I didn't enjoy the experience sitting at the booths inside.

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!
