    Had an amazing experience here. The food was incredible and the service from Erika was even better. She was sweet, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The charcuterie was one of my favorites along with the chicken liver mousse. We ordered so much food and we are so glad we got to try most of it. Erika recommended the velvet bee for my cocktail and wow, was it tasty! So were rest of the cocktails we tried but this stood out to me. Overall, our whole group had a fantastic experience and there wasn’t a dish we didn’t like. Thank you!

    We highly anticipated eating here. We waited for a month to get the right reservation, Saturday night. They were extremely busy—maybe too much. With so many people, we lost some intimacy. The waiter was super busy with multiple tables and seemed rushed and bothered by our questions and requests for suggestions. I had the lobster cocktail to start which was fresh, cold, and delicious. My wife had a mixed greens salad. The drinks were very good and my martini was served with the container on ice—very cool. She had grilled chicken which was served charred—we asked for well done but not burnt. I had the fillet. We shared the fettuccine and grilled broccolini. Everything was delicious, except the burnt chicken. The fettuccine is a must have—delicious. We ended the night with great cappuccino and desserts. We shared the bread pudding and the flannel cakes—both were great. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we will go back sometime. It was fun to experience an old Hollywood icon.

    As someone who had their mother and grandmother preparing pasta dishes together in the kitchen, somehow creating a home-cooked yet refined cuisine, Angelino Trattoria accomplishes the same. Countless times from New York, Boston and then to Los Angeles I have been disappointed when presented with dry pasta and common sauces. Here the pastas are made in house. The sauces are fresh and vibrant. The ravioli dish that I sampled-with portobello mushroom and pesto could not be improved. The pesto was silky, not overtly garlicky that read of fresh basil and the earthiness of Italy’s finest olive oil. I believe that I have found my go-to Italian eatery in Angelino Trattoria; I am looking forward to my next visit to try more items.
