A True Italian Gem in LA – Authentic Vibe and Exceptional Flavors!
My family (my wife, our son, and I) had a fantastic dinner here last night. If you are looking for a genuine Italian "Osteria" experience in Los Angeles, this is the place to be.
We booked a table for three at 8:30 PM in the "Restaurant" section. It was the perfect choice. While the atmosphere is lively and a bit loud (just like a real osteria in Italy!), the later slot allowed us to enjoy our meal and conversation without feeling rushed by a following reservation. Highly recommend booking in advance.
We started with sharing plates:
* Zucchini Flowers: Stuffed with ricotta and herbs, then fried in a delicate rice flour batter. Served over a slightly spicy tomato sauce, they were exquisite. Tip: Try adding some freshly cracked black pepper; it really elevates the flavors!
* Polipo: Tender, warm octopus pieces served with plenty of arugula, cherry tomatoes, and a zesty lemon dressing. Fresh and perfectly balanced.
For our main courses:
* Pumpkin Tortelli: My wife’s choice. These were delicate, handmade squares filled with sweet pumpkin puree, served with asparagus and Parmesan. A beautiful blend of sweet and savory.
* Lasagna Verde "Nonna Elvira": Our son went for this signature dish. Layers of green handmade pasta with a rich beef ragu, topped with unique crispy baby spinach. It’s a classic for a reason—truly delicious.
* Tagliolini al Limone: This was my highlight. Long, thin pasta in a creamy lemon, basil, and Parmesan sauce. It was magnificent. I added a touch of black pepper, which made it perfect without needing extra cheese.
Dessert & Drinks:
My son ordered the Tiramisu, and after tasting it, I can confirm it’s one of the best in town. To drink, my wife started with a classic Aperol Spritz, while my son and I shared a bottle of Chianti Classico, which paired beautifully with the entire meal.
For the quality of ingredients and the skill in the kitchen, the price-performance ratio is excellent. Next time, I’m definitely coming back for the wood-fired pizza and the porchetta.
A must-visit for any Italian food lover in LA!

Really enjoyed the food here. Everything we ordered was well made, comforting, and full of flavour in that proper Italian way. Nothing felt overdone or gimmicky, just solid, good food done right.
The menu is thoughtful, portions are satisfying, and it’s the kind of place you’d happily return to just to eat your way through more dishes.
Overall, a great spot if you’re looking for genuinely good Italian food in LA.

I had an excellent experience at Angelini Osteria. I booked a table for 1 for a nice solo dinner to end the week. My server, Michele, was very attentive without hovering, giving me plenty of space to enjoy my wine, pasta, & new book. The penne vodka was 10/10. Though the restaurant was busy, I was still able to relax & recharge. I would love to return on my own or with a group! Thank you, Michele!
