Get the (bayti) dish which is: Istanbul kabab wrapped with bread & tomato sauce. Absolutely phenomenal. Their lamb chops are very good too!
I definitely recommend the Kebab Beyti. It's Kebab rolled in bread and topped with tomato sauce really good and worth a try. Unlike many Turkish restaurants, They don't serve complementary tea.
Fantastic, flavorful, and tasty with friendly service and reasonable prices. BYO & NO corkage fees, btw. Strongly recommend !!
Best Italian joint in LA. Start with the polenta. Penne w/ langostine and spicy tomato sauce... incredible! Pair it with Shiraz. Finish off your meal with the panna cotta and a shot of espresso
Seafood carpaccio and a trio of branzino, langoustines and ahi tuna
Get the sweet corn agnolotti with the Dover sole and don't look back
I had the zucchini flower pizza and dough tomato sauce and toppings were delicious. Only a little bit slow service from the kitchen
Short rib pizza is an unexpected favorite
As seen on The Chef Show, Daniele Uditi grew up and came from Naples, even bringing his starter in a jar with him to the US. San Marzano tomatoes produced just for him on his parcel of land.
Crispy thin crust, amazing tomato sauce, eclectic toppings. Need I say more?
A local favorite, the Grandma pie garner rave reviews by GQ's Alan Richman. Landing at one of the top ten pizzas in the country, this perfectly balanced creation still manages to surprise doubters. Read more.
if you're looking at a building which doesn't look open or like a pizza place, walk around back. Only the persistent will ne rewarded.
Tamales ($1.50): Order tamale with Monterey jack, spicy sliced jalapenos, and light tomato sauce OR pork tamale with tender chunks of shredded pork shoulder slathered with a mildly spicy salsa
Perfect tamales... the masa is fluffy and not too dense.
Best Tamales in Los Angeles. Be prepared to wait in line out the door if you don't come early enough in the AM in Dec. It will be worth the wait.
Terroni is a reliable go-to for a week night meal. Order the tagliolini in canna a mare with clams, mussels, calamari, scallops and tiger shrimp in a buttery tomato sauce. Read more.

Rigatoni Arcobaleno is my absolute favorite!!! But start with the Piatto A Stutare if you love Burrata & Prosciutto!! And have a glass of Sangiovese. Heaven! ❤
Walter Manzke, chef of Wildflour Cafe + Bakery, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Strozzapreti w/ sausage & tomato sauce. Read more.
Another Los Angeles favorite! Lasanga!!!!!!!!!! We had excellent tripe here also. You have to try it once.
High quality rustic Northern Italian fare served within a small, minimalist space. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
The pizza is the best in the area. Chewy crust and delicious tomato sauce make the whole thing taste yummy.
Accepts credit cards now!
Great subs! The best in town
Petite pizzas with thin, crisp crusts. Excellent topping with a bold tomato sauce.
The pizza is awesome; sausage party is my favorite. Their beer list is always great and they have tap takeovers, which are always a fun time!
I'm a pizza snob transplant from PA & NY, but I actually like the Bianca pizza (with kale, ricotta & mozzarella).
Killer lunch spot. Grab a seat outside and people watch like a total creepo. Bolognese with tomato cream sauce and peas. Do it!
So good. Order the Panna Cotta for desert :O there is a cheese plate not on the menu also.
One of my favorite LA restaurants. Tanino Drago does it again.
Tomato sauce is fantastic either on pizza or pasta!
One of the best pizza places ever visited!. Their flat bread pizza is amazing and so many unique choices available!
If you don't mind the awful service, the pizza is good.
Adorable, affordable place with an authentic bistro vibe (and a great happy hour!) Really nice escargot, and delicate calamari not fried, in a light tomato sauce as standouts.
Everything is great but I have a thing for escargots. They make it really good.
The double cappuccino comes in a soup bowl here, apparently.
The Polenta Fries with Parmesan and Tomato Sauce are TO DIE FOR!
Best restaurant in LA! The salads are delicious and there is no fat dressing added! Light, simple and delicious!!
The menu is extraordinary, with riffs on seasonal favorites like Brussels sprouts cooked with house-cured bacon, bourbon and maple syrup.
The tomato sauce on the pizza is very tasty. The staff is friendly. Place does not have enough chairs!!!
The burrata pie is amazing! However, take out does not do it justice- the arugula gets wilty. So, eat it there and enjoy with some sangira!
Tip the servers: they work hard.
Try the Spicy pork and ricotta meatballs - Spicy pork and ricotta meatballs in tomato sauce
order the fried sweet breads and the meatballs. i promise you will thank me. wash it down with any of their great wines (red or white but their bubbly is pretty darn good too!)
"A good way to start is with a plate of dreamy jamon ibérico and maybe saffron arancini stuffed with smoked mozzarella, or the grilled pork belly bao." Read more.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
