    Great place, great ambience and food are exceptional. Though service is slow, giving the fact that it’s the holiday weekend. The overall experience is amazing. Surely a repeat and more.

    Absolutely fantastic. Took my wife here for her birthday while we were visiting. The service was next level - we never sat unattended, and every course came out in perfect time related to the previous one. My wife commented that she thought we were in an episode of The Bear given how every detail was on point. The food was delicious we started with the polpo for an appetizer, and I had the Il Garganelli… this pork sausage ragú was unreal. Her seafood linguine was amazing as well. We topped off with panna cotta for dessert and they even made it special for her birthday. Will definitely come back here for more the next time I’m in LA!

    Great service and wonderful food in a beautiful setting. The short rib over saffron risotto was excellent. I have been coming for years. It's nice to dine at a great restaurant that you haven't visited in a while and find it to be as good as ever.

    a special occasion dinner with family, Drago was the perfect place and well worth going out of our way for. The food, service, and ambiance were terrific, truly memorable. If you like fine Italian cuisine in a beautiful downtown location with welcoming, highly professional and elegant service, Drago is the place. (Highly recommend the seafood risotto and the lamb).

    Wow, coming from a first generation Italian family with a Mom who is the “heavy weight champion” of authentic Italian fare. This meal was epoch. We need DRAGO in Boston!! I will always come back here when I am any where near LA. Service, class and perfection all around the table… Erik Santucci
