Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Highland Park

Angelini is our favourite go-to Italian restaurant in LA. A great neighbourhood place for us living in West Hollywood Angelini is a reliable, constant good choice for great Italian food. The service is super friendly and impeccable and whether sitting outdoors or indoors ( there is a new quiet, roomy area) it is always a terrific place to bring friends and family.

Hands down, the best! Incredibly impressed. I’ll be talking about this place to everyone tomorrow..🤣 So good! We had the albacore, scallops, pork chop….damn!!!! And the chocolate cake w two scoops of ice cream for dessert. Everything was on another level!

Excellent but too expensive. There are other great steaks available in town for half as much per person. Bread shouldn’t be $18 for 1/4 loaf of sourdough.

Spectacular, as always. This time, for the most inventive and unique brunch in the city. The cardamom pancake was a standout. The wood-fired, za’atar spiced, Jerusalem bagels were devoured. The moroccan cigars and the burger was excellent. It’s always a pleasure to be taken away, at Carmel.

We had a 5:45pm reservation and we were running so late! When my husband called, the gentleman on the phone was so kind and accommodating. When we finally arrived he gave us the option to wait for a table but knew we had to make the 8pm Wicked show at the Pantages. He had saved 3 seats at the bar for us and we were able to get seated right away. Food came out super fast, everything we ordered was delicious! They even made the Witches Brew cocktail for me and my niece non-alcoholic! We ordered the spicy vodka rigatoni, meatballs and pepperoni pizza. Overall. great experience!
