The food was fantastic and tasted chef specifically customized to my taste. The service was excellent and the Ambiance was cozy.

Drove 40 min to try this place out with my family and can wholeheartedly say that this place is worth the drive! We went on a Friday, and it was busy for a typical popular restaurant on a Friday night. They have inside and patio seating. Their inside seating is limited as the space is tiny. Parking is available at the back of the restaurant through an alleyway. We were checked in on every few minutes by different servers, which was nice. They were all attentive and ready to be of help! I've been to Italy before and felt like I was back in Italy for an hour or two. Every item is reasonably priced. As for the food... oh my gosh I haven't had pasta this good in some time. My little sister mentioned that it was the best pasta she's tried in her "whole life". read more

We used to live at Lincoln Heights but never tried this place. The first visit is amazing! Good service, fair price, great portion. The vibe is super comfortable, we loved the background music here. Recommend Hawaiian pizza, with crunchy fresh pineapple on it. Daly salad is also comforting as well as a starter. Will come back in the future! read more

This place is absolutely excellent! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The pasta and sauces are made from scratch and every single dish my group tried was delicious. I personally got the spaghetti Bolognese and it was the best I have ever had. My daughter got the Alfredo and it was also amazing. The fresh-baked bread was so good and they were very generous with it. And to top it off, they brought us a free dessert to share. Prices were so affordable and the place was cute and comfy. I highly recommend this place and will be coming back whenever I am in the area. read more

Why is is that when I rely on other Elites, I am disappointed? Here comes what will likely be yet another unpopular review. I really wanted spaghetti and finding good pasta in LA, in my opinion, is difficult. So, I hit up Yelp and this place had stellar reviews. I tried to have my food delivered and while they came up on one of the platforms, it said unavailable. I called the restaurant and I was told they didn't offer delivery. So, I got in my car to get my grub. I parked at the Smart and Final and walked over (it's a close walk). There's ample free parking as street parking was not available. I decided on the spaghetti bolognese because they didn't have a spaghetti with marinara. I wanted meatballs so I got a side of three. Please note that the menu does not indicate the meatballs are tiny so when I saw 9 on the menu, I asked if I could just have 3. At that point I should have been advised they were tiny and I would have taken all 9. The pasta, as you can see, doesn't look appetizing but at least it tasted decent. Would I return for this dish? Absolutely not. I will note that many of the reviews pertained to the vodka sauce pasta. I may consider giving them a re-do but just to try the vodka pasta. The meatballs were excellent, by the way, but I wouldn't be surprised if they came from a bag in the freezer. The pasta did not come with garlic bread so I got a side of that too. Their garlic bread wasn't bad but it reminded me of those frozen loaves you can buy and pop in the oven yourself. Not exactly what I was expecting from a place with these types of rave reviews. Now for the kicker....when I was placing my order, I noticed they had the equipment for Grubhub. I asked the guy taking my order whether they offered delivery and he said, yes, through an app but it's very expensive. I told him I had just called and was told no delivery is offered! He responded he hadn't answered the phone and deferred to who did. Wait for it....that guy told me they do not offer delivery because a real person isn't making the delivery! Grubhub DOES use real people and it's a food DELIVERY app! ‍ Needless to say, I was irritated I had to drive myself to get subpar food. This is definitely not a yummy in your tummy place and I'd tread with caution if you're relying on the reviews before trekking over. Notably, the place was pretty full at 4 p.m. on a weekday. There is indoor and outdoor seating but the place is pretty small. read more

Trattoria Daly - My dessert wish I could've taken a picture of the food but it was sooo good we ate it all up fast. Must try their desserts delicious. - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My aunts were in town from Boston and Chicago, and were adamant about having dinner at a local spot in our neighborhood. It was great to try this spot finally, together! I had no doubt that the food and service would be excellent with consideration of the reviews. We each ordered a pasta, shared the Daly Salad (soooooo good!) and a bottle of vino. My lasagna was exceptional and the beef was v good more like short rib than ground beef fyi, my husband thoroughly enjoyed his seafood pasta, and aunts raved about their penne vodka sauce w/ chicken and the shrimp pasta dish (forgot name lol). Large potions, so come hungry or be happy for leftovers!!! Kitchen is tiny so expect a possible longer wait for food - but it's worth it and they provide yummy bread! Being on the outside patio was also perfect. Love how it's tucked away in the back. There's apparently a parking lot back there too but had no issue finding street parking on an early Saturday night. I suggest making a reservation for prime dinner because it's smaller and can get packed quickly. Service was friendly, personable and attentive. Thanks for the great meal and memories. See you again soon! read more

Here's my feedback on my recent visit to Trattoria Daly. We had a wonderful experience and found the service to be exceptionally friendly. We specifically appreciated how welcoming everyone was, and we really loved our waiter, who was incredibly sweet to all the guests he served. The food was excellent. We tried the Daly Salad, which was delicious. I ordered the Pollo Alla Nonna and found it very tasty. My husband's Linguine Alla Checca was both delicious and flavorful. The restaurant is small inside, so seating is quite close to other diners. However, we were pleased to find plenty of street parking and did not have to wait at all for a table. Thank you for a great meal. read more

Trattoria Daly - Front entrance - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Five Stars for a True Boyle Heights Gem -- Trattoria DALY After a hike at Millard Canyon, my boyfriend and I were driving through Boyle Heights when we came across Trattoria DALY--a true diamond in the rough. Boyle Heights is one of LA's oldest and most culturally rich neighborhoods, known for hardworking families, deep community roots, and food that tells a story, and this restaurant fits right in. From the moment we sat down, the experience felt warm and intentional. The ambiance was intimate and relaxing, with a fresh rose on the table that added such a thoughtful touch. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and genuine. The all-Latino kitchen clearly takes pride in their craft, and it shows in every dish. My boyfriend is allergic to shrimp, and when our calamari fritti initially arrived with shrimp on the plate, the staff immediately apologized and remade it without hesitation. The corrected dish was perfect: crispy calamari over fries with a beautifully seasoned tomato sauce--rich, smooth, and comforting without being spicy. We also enjoyed a chopped Caesar salad and a pepperoni pizza that exceeded our expectations. The dough--made by a Roman bakery--was soft and airy, the sauce flavorful, and the pepperoni spot on. Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared. Parking is street-only and metered, but that's a small tradeoff for a restaurant that feels like a true neighborhood staple. Five stars all around--thank you for the warm hospitality, genuine smiles, and a meal we'll be thinking about until our next visit. We truly look forward to seeing you again soon. read more

I went with three other girlfriends and we had such a great time. The place is tiny, but had a nice ambiance. The four of us decided to go family style, so we ordered the Caprese Salad and the Daly Salad to start. The Caprese was nothing special but the mozzarella was very fresh and they were generous with the portion. The Daly Salad was pretty good, nicely balanced with all the ingredients in it. For entrees, we got the lobster ravioli, the penne alla vodka with shrimp and the pollo alla funghi. All the dishes were pretty good. The lobster ravioli was slightly fishy, but still had good flavor to it. It wasn't not fresh, but if you are sensitive to that, I would avoid it. the penne was cooked perfectly in a nicely balanced bechamel and tomato sauce. The shrimp was cooked correctly, and again, generous in portions. The pollo alla funghi was served in rice, which was a little mushy. Still, the flavors were good and the chicken wasn't overcooked. We were all so full, so decided to share a tiramasu. Imagine our surprise when they also brought us a complimentary cheesecake as well, "just because." So nice, especially since that was actually the better tasting of the two desserts. The servers were friendly and very attentive, which always enhances the overall experience when dining out. The prices were reasonable for what you get, so definitely helps tip the scales for a repeat visit. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! The shrimp pasta was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, with generous portions of shrimp and plenty of Parmesan cheese. The sauce coated the pasta beautifully without feeling too heavy. The tomato-based pasta was equally impressive, featuring fresh tomatoes, herbs, and a flavorful sauce that tasted homemade. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and every dish was well presented. If you're a seafood and pasta lover, this is definitely a meal worth trying. I would happily order it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying Italian dinner. The staff were welcoming and very nice! read more

Just finished my first meal here, and I cannot speak highly enough about it! Food: Fabulous - I got the mussel appetizer and the mussels were so well cooked, extremely tender. Sauce was flavorful! I had the chef special for my main course, the seafood soup - also extremely well done. All the seafood was independently delicious and perfectly cooked - the salmon, white fish, and mussels were excellent. My partner got the lobster ravioli, the bite I took of that was also excellent! Ambiance: Homey and Italian! Nice warm lighting and plentiful seating. Service: The food was fabulous, but this sealed the deal! Waitstaff was so kind and attentive, we actually ran into the owner who was also very passionate about his establishment in a way that shows, because this place is amazing! Overall, couldn't recommend it more. Please excuse the pictures, as we couldn't wait to dig in! read more

Spectacular! I was meeting my friend in LA and picked this place because of high reviews. The area is not the best but this small restaurant is a gem! If you want real Italian food - please go. Amazing pasta, real and flavorful! Excellent cooked pasta. But the highlight for me was a pistachio desert- omg what an amazing dance of fresh ingredients and flavors . Not too sweet but just what you want. We shared one, I should've get one to go ! That's on top of an absolutely sincere and pleasant staff!!! Thank you very much for delicious food and warm atmosphere . I will absolutely be back and highly recommend this place! read more

We ordered the seafood pasta and the fish cream pasta, and overall everything was really solid. The cream pasta had a smooth, well-balanced sauce that wasn't too heavy, so it stayed enjoyable until the last bite. The fish was cooked perfectly--tender and flavorful, which paired really well with the pasta. The seafood pasta had a rich tomato-based sauce with generous portions of shrimp and mussels. The flavors were bold and satisfying. The bread served on the side was also great--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for dipping into the sauces. Overall, great taste, good portions, and well put together. Definitely would come back. read more

Walked past this place a couple of times and finally stopped in to try it for a cute date. Food was solid and the service was exceptional! We had the calamari fritti as an appetizer. My partner ordered the lasagna and I ordered the shrimp rigatoni. Portions are great! We both had leftovers. Our waiter told us to save room for dessert and they brought out some chocolate cake (or mousse? not sure because they brought it to us on the house ). I 100% recommend the lasagna and dessert :) Definitely will go back here when I want a lovely meal in an intimate setting. read more

I loved this place! My mom and I visited for the first time tonight and we had a great experience! Very attentive and friendly waitstaff, first of all. Secondly, the food was rather good. I loved their seafood pasta. It came with so much seafood, and each piece was cooked well. The squid still had a snap where many other places have made it mushy/overcooked. The sauce was garlicky and fragrant and the pasta was not too al dente. The place is small and cozy, so not the best place to bring a big party. Definitely will come again! read more

This is a small hidden gem in Lincoln Heights! We came on a Tuesday evening and there was ample metered street parking right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant only has 7 tables, which makes it a very intimate setting. I ordered the ribeye steak, medium, which was cooked exactly the way I like it. It came with an order of well seasoned garlic fries. My daughter ordered the seafood pasta, which had a bit of spice, but very tasty. Service from Marlon was excellent-he came to check up on his several times, as did the other waiter, who was kind to take our picture. We shared the hearts of palm salad, which was bright and was a good, light starter for us. I will be back! read more

I am so disappointed in the food we just got! I am so embarrassed to my coworker of the food we just got! We were deciding to have a working lunch, I suggested we get food from here because I've been here before in person and I had an amazing time! Today was like a different restaurant unbelievable flavorless entrées. The freaking Caesar salad, which I asked for extra dressing was plain lettuce what a bullshit move! I would be To even bang that up and attempt to send that out. The fettuccine Alfredo the sauce was almost nonexistent. It was so un enjoyable to even attempt to eat it. The pasta you need to revisit your meat sauce because it lacks that wow flavor that Bolognese gives you. So so disappointing., and do yourself a favor leave off the overcooked vegetables they serve no purpose. And let me tell you how pissed I am at the bread you sent! You sent Dale bread from yesterday don't deny it cause you are a liar if you try! The couple pieces were nice. You could tell they were maybe from the day, but the other ones were like fricking rock hard croutons. How dare you insult your potential clients like that? How dare you?. I am so angry. I don't know if I'll ever come back in there.! I really really bragged on you guys to my coworkers and you embarrassed the hell out of me! read more

Opening an Italian restaurant in Lincoln Heights is courageous and deserves kudos just for that! Lived around the area all my life and I was surprised to see it. We ordered penne alla vodka with chicken ($22) and pepperoni pizza ($17). I enjoyed the pasta dish. Flavor was good, not too salty, and not too creamy. I do wish there was an option to request more sauce in the dish though. There wasn't much left on the side and sometimes I like to dip some bread in the sauce. The French bread that came before the meal was okay. Loved the warmth and toasted level of it. Butter on the side, but for a new place to stand out, I would recommend a garlic butter spread instead. The pizza was okay. For $17, I wouldn't order it again though. The dough was great around the bottom edges; I liked the crispy level of the bread. Towards the center, it was too soft for my liking. The pizza definitely is not a stand out. The place is a bit pricey for the heights and I do think they will need to add more to the overall experience to feel more worth it. Down the street is "The Heights" which also has various types of good pasta for a bit less in price. A few suggestions include: Italian music to set the proper ambiance, offering freshly grated cheese on the pasta dish table side, and more parsley garnishes on the dish. The employees were friendly upon entering, but for a dine in experience we didn't get much attention after the food arrived. No biggie though. Street (meter) parking only which isn't convenient, but there aren't many businesses with a lot of foot traffic around there so it was fine. The place is a small; not ideal for extra large parties. I really hope the business does well. I love Italian food and am excited for it to be here. I'd definitely go back and try other things. **SIDE NOTE: Free dessert was offered as an incentive for a good review. I did NOT participate in this, but I had a good experience so I'm leaving a good review read more

So happy we found this little gem. First of all their free bread is sooo good. There's care in all their food, even the bread. We ordered their seafood pasta which was a very special sauce! The salmon in it was really tasty and the sauce was really good paired with their garlic bread. The steak was simple but tasty, it had a nice smokey touch to it. Their fries are thin and crispy (think McDonald's style but better). Their service is also superb, never been checked on by the staff so many times lol. Highly recommend! Prices are also super reasonable. Lovely neighborhood restaurant, small and cozy. read more

Today we celebrated a co-workers birthday at Trattoria Daly. What a gem of a restaurant located in an unassuming location. It is a small location with nearby street parking and there is inside seating. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We love supporting local businesses and hope this one will thrive for many years to come. They have been at this location for a few years now. Today we ordered garlic bread, fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, filet of sole with a side of spaghetti in a butter sauce, lobster ravioli, penne pasta with creamy vodka sauce and pasta arrabbiata. The food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed the flavors, seasoning and pasta. It was all very well prepared. Overall, an enjoyable meal, reasonably priced and great portions.
