Avis TASTE ON MELROSE Los Angeles

Love this location , great food and staff cranks out the orders , it’s always fun trying to secure a table lol and tons of people watching always some characters here

I had a maple Banana waffle with some spicy chiccen sausage it was fire I also had a smoothie super fire

Never have I ever been treated the way I have at this restaurant.
The waiter was so rude, he accidentally spilled wine on me and didn’t apologize. He even questioned how I got spilled on, when he was holding the wine glass in his hand.
Too bad as the food was good, but wow was the service terrible.
I refuse to be treated this way when you’re spending 800$ on a dinner

Very underwhelming for how much they're charging. Basic drinks. Basic food. There's much better spots like Mother Wolf or Great White that deliver a much better overall dining experience.

I love this place so much cant wait to be back in october, Emma is awsome, hope she will remember us the family from Strasbourg

This place deserves 100 stars
Food super delicious
The ambiance is chill, fun and cozy
The owner is very nice and friendly

We booked Olivetta for an early Valentine’s Day dinner, based on its popularity and reputation. I would not classify it as fine dining, more so a really good Italian restaurant that specializes in drinks, and a more upscale and lively vibe versus a traditional fine dining restaurant like Madeo up on W Sunset. I would say it’s a great place to bring a date or dinner with friends or family, and not so much a work dinner location. The inside is beautifully done and has some great colors. There are tapestries all along the walls with lots of plants dividing the dining areas and a very muted red color that really adds to the ambience. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot, it will be valet or metered street parking. You have to check in with security street side first and then they let you walk up the ramp where you will next check in with the hostess. They have a large bar area as well as a lot of different seating options. Our table was extremely small, however, and the tables were very close together so this is not the sort of place that you’ll be able to have a private or sensitive conversation. Our server was very polite, although took quite some time to take our order initially but overall, I think he did a great job. The music is quite loud here so if someone has hearing issues they will really struggle to hear others at their table.

They have a fairly large menu with a lot of great options on it. We started off with a Squash Blossoms, which were absolutely fantastic. I have ordered these all over town and this is definitely one of the better versions. I was a bit disappointed that it only comes with three which is a hard number to share so I wish the portion size would’ve been a bit larger for this. Next we followed with the Caesar Salad and it was great. Again, not a very large sized portion, but still tasty flavorwise. For my entrée, I chose the Creste Di Gallo because having the bone marrow scooped in right before you eat is an unbeatable addition to me. It was a true treat. I love bone marrow anything so this was great pasta. The bone marrow itself added a great flavor and a crunch to the meal, which I truly loved. We also ordered the special for the day, which was the Dungeness Crab Tagliatelle. It was absolutely fantastic and had a ton of crab on it. The sauce was truly what made the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. For dessert we topped off the meal with the Brown Sugar Budino and I definitely would recommend it. It was sweet and salty and actually a great sized portion. it was a great end of the meal.

Overall, I would say Olivetta is a great date spot. It’s very lively and very noisy but in a fun way. They play the music quite loud so it has a very Friday night kind of feel to it. I would recommend and will try it again sometime in the near future.

Fantastic food, service & atmosphere! I was with a group of 4 and we walked in no problem for dinner and got a table. The bruschetta, pastas, crepes & other deserts were *chefs kiss*
The whole service team made sure we had everything we needed and was very attentive. Will definitely be recommending and coming back.

Our visit to Craigs was the absolute BEST experience that my boyfriend & I have had in ANY restaurant in LA. From the time we came thru the front door we were treated with such respect and with A warm and welcoming attitude from Patty the hostess to Amy our waitress. These people really made our visit and dinner the most enjoyable experience there is in food service these days. I only wish every restaurant treated their customers as good as these girls did , and even the busboys were awesome to us. Thank You to Craigs, for hiring the best

Loved this reataurant

bucatini!! and desserts tiramisu + bundino

The first time I have ever given any restaurant full stars from point A to B. I was actually shocked. The food is amazing and in my budget. The service was welcoming and attentive. I had their fresh squeezed orange juice, oh oh oh it was great along with an omelette and these sweet blueberry pancakes. It was the right amount of food for what I paid for and it was so good, I want more now. I'm going to get a job here so this will be my breakfast lunch and dinner. Totally shocked.

Great

great food, lovely ambience, our server, shane, was fantastic
get the rigatoni, it has a little kick, get the chocolate ball for dessert. it’s gorgeous and rich

Good atmosphere and service. Unfortunately, out of 3 dishes, one was great (eggplant parm), one was disappointing (the salmon tartare is at most 25% salmon and mostly thinly diced vegetables) and the chicken paillard was unbelievably bland, and dry.

We were disappointed; the price also did not make sense for us given our meal.

I live close by will be revisiting to give it a second shot though and might update my review.

This is one of my favorite cafe in LA . Many delicious Vegan foods . Good smiles. Cozy.

Great food, service was top tier. All pastas, steak, and fish were delicious. Expensive though.

The Caesar salad, gnocchi, and radiatore were excellent. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had, and the radiatore sauce (a mild spicy lamb bolognese) was one of my favorites on a pasta dish.

Five stars all around!! Wow, I walked in thinking it was going to be another overpriced unmemorable LA restaurant and boy was I wrong. This place is legit. Food is amazing. Service was perfection. I love when multiple servers or staff members are available to take care of the table (because it shouldn’t be about what server has what table but more about what the guest or table needs at that time when anyone may be walking by). The vibe gave me all sorts of feels. And the DJ gave me life! I left soooo impressed telling everyone about it and wanting to return ASAP. Olivetta is on my list of top notch restaurants in LA. Bravo!! I regret not walking into this place much earlier!

Worst service in LA

Great spot for date night. Delicious food.

Beautiful restaurant and great food. Everything is 10/10 and would highly recommend for dinner.

They ending adding more to our bill extra of drinks and food that's terrible the spanish waitress are amazing. I'm not coming back it all.

Delicious food and en excellent service.

Amazing

Food is really tasty, but portions are on the small side. And the porterhouse steak doesn't even come with fries. Service staff is nice, but they also try to push you towards pricier wines... Nice atmosphere, but quite pricy overall.

Excellent everything. Wait worth it.

Loved this place. They had live music!!! They should have this on a monthly basis.

Не был. Не ел. Не заказывал. Живу вообще далеко. На Кипре. Но решил сломать систему. Всем рекомендую это кафе просто потому, что думаю это отличное место. Моя интуиция говорит мне об этом! Фотографии отличные. У владельца есть вкус.

Californian upscale dining in WeHo. Made a reservation for 6:30pm online beforehand but we had to be seated a bit late since traffic is atrocious. Metered street parking and valet parking available. Indoor dining only. Credit cards accepted. We were a bit apprehensive about how the dining experience would be given the other negative reviews lambasting the service, but everyone was so pleasant. Our waiter checked in on us often and we always had a full glass of water.

We had the squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta (3) and baked prawns (4) to split as apps. I got the raviolo from their truffle menu; it was the first time I had such a giant stuffed pasta and this is also what made me realize ravioli is the plural form of the word. My sister got the bone marrow pasta which they cut and topped right before serving, and my dad got the lobster bucatini. The bucatini was fresh and cooked al dente. For dessert, we ended with the chocolate ball. I was unfortunate to have missed the melting of the ball since I was in the restroom but the dessert itself was tasty.
