In Short – The lunch vibe is loud and chatty at this Italian eatery located inside one of L.A.'s quintessential shopping meccas. The space is bright and the white-draped tables are set close enough that you can actually hear the "E! True Hollywood" conversations come to life. An attractive waitstaff sports the latest designer denim, while the menu is just as decidedly appealing--Italian staples like proscuitto and mozzarella on foccacia, shrimp and spaghetti tossed in olive oil, and chicken marsala are some of the options. A juice bar and cafe in the rear serves fresh fruit smoothies,…

Mauro's Cafe & Ristorante is the NEW ihop in West Hollywood

by JMikhael at Citysearch

It seams that when Evelyn was running the show things we're fantastic NOW with the new management it's RIDICULOUS.

Coming back to visit the restaurant after a couple of years; was an embarrassment since I took friends there. The waiters do not go above and beyond especially for the price you are paying. We ordered wine when we sat down. It took the waitress 19 minutes to bring the wine to the table. (note we went on a monday at 3pm when they only had 4 other tables) The food was a joke. The R. Bolognese is not the same as I used to get there. Very dry with less tomato sauce. The waitress brought our check to the table. 5 minutes later comes back to tell us "I forgot to add items on the check. Ill go re-print it." I'll NEVER be going back there.

  • Pros: friendly host
  • Cons: bad service, took long for food on a slow day, never check on us, food was very dry not as it used to be

Favorite!

by weaterncanon at Citysearch

I love this place. Friendliest service in town; hip, cool and great food that is neither too heavy on the stomach or the wallet. Great selection of wines too. We sat next to Cindy Crawfors and Randy Gerber last week which was great for our friends who came from Europe...

  • Pros: Free Parking, Great Ambience and food. Friendly service
  • Cons: closed for dinner!
