I love me some cecconis whenever in LA this is our stop what I will stop doing is ordering the truffle pizza is not worth the hype and the truffle is not as pronounced in the dish but the pastas are great and the octopus is always delicious.

Stopped in for lunch without a reservation, mid week. Combination of tourists, chic locals, and nearby furniture shoppers. Open feel with vaulted ceilings and wood versus plaster. Curated menu with enough choice for almost everyone in your party. They poured Evian water at an Italian restaurant which was strange, but we're in LA, so anything goes. We started with chilled pea soup; absolutely delicious and plant based (so no dairy). Scrumptious! Endive salad came next, and it was a large portion with top quality ingredients. Lastly, we shared the rigatoni and the eggplant Parmesan. Kitchen was a bit backed up, but I'd rather them take time to make my food than rush it out. Rigatoni could have been a bit more al dente (they slightly overcooked it), but the meat sauce was excellent; balanced and comforting. Eggplant parm was very good, baked in the oven with a crisp top. Competent, modern service (although they did leave our soup bowls on the edge of the table once our next course came) and well crafted food from the kitchen. Worth a stop.

I'm Italian and I love this place! We always start with the tuna tartar appetizer, which is always so fresh and yummy. Then we get the margarita pizza which I personally love! (I like mine thin). And for my main I always get their eggplant parmigiana - to die for and a MUST have. It's the closest I've had to my grandpas recipe which is from Italy. The servers are always extremely nice and the food comes out super quick. It's also in a great location so this is a nice place to people watch while you enjoy a martin.

The food was really nice. The first dish, the ricotta hotcakes/pancakes were kind of meh, so I was a bit worried about what was to come. However the rest of the food was great. Pesto pasta: perfect pasta, seems to be handmade as well texture was immaculate. Sauce was really flavorful and had nice coloration giving it a more appetizing appearance. There are some veggies like broccoli stems and kale in there which may seem weird to some but definitely helped with the monotony of an empty pasta. Truffle pizza: I wish they gave some more squash blossoms, but the pizza was fantastic. Usually truffle dishes that don't break the bank are a complete scam, but in this case it wasn't. They put a very respectable amount of truffle on the pizza, and the aroma was flavor were all there. The goat cheese also added another depth of flavor and sharpness to contrast the richness of the truffle. Lobster spaghetti: this was also phenomenal. One of the better lobster dishes I've had in recent memory. The sauce was thick and viscous, coating the pasta perfectly. It was infused with the lobster essence and tasted exactly how a lobster sauce should taste like. Pasta was nicely cooked and the lobster was great as well. Kind of a small portion for the price but quality is more important than quantity occasionally. Service was fine no complaints. Overall this restaurant is really good and really could be deserving of 5 stars if the first dish was better, but it could be my fault for ordering the wrong thing. Also they have a really nice valet system that works well if you know how to use a phone. Super convenient and practical.

Came here for a birthday dinner and really enjoyed the food and received great service. I tried the calamari, the cavatelli pasta -which was delicious, the tiramisu and the Isola di Luna to drink which was also great. The ambiance is great although the tables are a little close together so it can be a bit loud. I was surprised how crowded it was late on a Monday night. Easily found street parking on Robinson.

This is my new favorite restaurant and I am not disappointed at all by the service or the food or the view. It's a nice and trendy and located in such a Great spot (location). I came here once or twice before and regret not coming here more often. The pizza was great as well as the pasta and the burrata. I didn't care much for the ahi tuna, but this is not the spot to come for that dish. The seating is nice as they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The espresso martini was very delicious. It's just a vibe here and I'm going to be coming back so often. It's the type of spot that's busy , yet you can still get a reservation. Cant wait to try other items off the menu. Our waitress Sofia was great and the manager was so sweet as she checked on our table. you wont be dissapointed.

While visiting LA with 5 friends, we were looking for a nice place for our final group dinner. Cecconi's came highly recommended by a discerning local, so we booked a table here online (booked about 2 weeks in advance). We were so glad we came here! The food was impeccable. Highlights included the octopus appetizer and kale pesto pasta, as well as the millefoglie dessert. But we tried each other's dishes and really everything was well done from the bolognese to the tuna tartare to the tiramisu. They have a nice drinks menu with wines, cocktails and zero proof options as there was one person in our party who doesn't drink. The place was bustling on a thursday night. There is a heated patio (kinda in a large tent) but we sat in the main dining room. The service was professional and warm. I would highly recommend this place for larger groups because they know how to handle groups and timed everything perfectly so all the dishes came out at the same time. It is a classy place. As a group of younger racialized women (in a room of mostly older white people), the service we received was welcoming and genuine, not like some places where they might give you attitude if they think you aren't going to spend as much as other tables (pet peeve of mine...). Our server was so sweet and the photos she took for us were actually good, she knew how to get a good angle hehe... This was one of our favourite meals and we were still talking about it and dreaming of those pasta dishes for days after! This makes me want to try other Cecconi locations around the world!
