Light Italian fare with friendly service

by gregls

My colleague and I had a very pleasant mid-week lunch here. It was marked by attentive service, good food, and reasonable prices in a very friendly, neighborhood place.

Looks slightly run-down on the outside, but a very clean, pleasant interior.

• Pros: Friendly, classy
• Cons: Parking

Good service, bad food.

by tveen2607

Nice atmosphere and service, but food is bland and over priced for quality. Sauces were not up to par and lacked flavor. The veal Osso Bucco with risotto was rushed and tasted more like a bland Irish stew with Rice. The Pollo Cipriani was also bland and low quality.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere, great service.
• Cons: Bland food, over priced.

Someone say "Stake?!"

by xxblueiris

For my best friend's birthday I chose to take her to Tiramisu because I had read good things about it on CitySearch. I was able to make reservations a day in advance for a party of four on Friday night quite easily. When we arrived the atmosphere was very relaxing and mellow. We were able to have a conversation without music or noise drowning us out. When it came to food, I've never really liked red meat but the rib eye steak was delicious. I also tried the salmon filet,it was great too. One of our friends had linguine with mussels, she said it was wonderfully prepared.

The desserts were out of this world, we shared the special which was a chocolate roulette filled with a creamy-custard-y filling, the creme brulee and the tiramisu. Our time there was fantastic, everyone enjoyed themselves, the staff was very personable and helpful... Tiramisu didn't leave any room for dissatisfaction.

• Pros: incrediblely relaxed atmosphere, great food, pleasant waiter
• Cons: None

Fine italian Cuisine in the Valley

by sumrland

The thing about great Italian eateries is that the owners and staff treat each guest as if they were Family. My wife, daughters, and friends have been enjoying this restaurant for many years. Peter and his father have always embraced that Family feeling here which makes this my absolute favorite place to eat. The lasagna here is the best in town, and is my wife's favorite. I love everything from the creative appetizers, to the veal, seafood, and pastas. On my last visit the beet salad was delicious, as was the veal short ribs [osso buco style].

Try it for dinner with friends and family or for a romantic meal for two. I guarantee you will come back again and again.

• Pros: Great Ambiance, Friendly Service, Exceptional Food
• Cons: Can't come up with one.

Wonderful Dining Experience

by EncinoMan

We have dined at Il Tiramisu many times over the years. Peter and his Father have always greeted us like a member of the family. The wait staff is pleasant, knowledgable and subtly attentive. Most important, the chef is consistent in conjuring delicious Italian meals; from traditional pastas to unique specials such as trout wrapped in prosciutto.

The monthly wine dinners have developed a strong following. Here they pair wine with each course for a fixed price. A wonderful opportunity to taste new wines in a lovely restaurant atmosphere.

We have enjoyed dining at many restaurants in Los Angeles. Il Tiramisu is our favorite.

• Pros: Great Food, Personable Service, Wine Dinners!

• Cons: None

Fine dining Italian menu and ambience with the most inviting vibe anywhere.

by ChristianMann

My fiancee favors their daily specials with exotic soups (frequently pureed with no cream) and exquisitely light but flavorful fish dishes, often in white wine sauces as a nice break from the standard heavy Italian fare. I'm a creature of habit so I usually go for the Arrugua salad with goat cheese, pine nuts and sliced Bressaola (a dry prosciuotto) to start and the best Veal Milanese in town for my entree. The thing we both love is the staff: Peter and his crew have been there for years, they're like family. If I forget to call in advance on a weekend, they manage to get us in. We've had big celebrations as well as romantic dinners for two and we've never been let down. It's the perfect hybrid when you want a cut above but don't want to be stuffy.

• Pros: Interesting specials, great food and service.
• Cons: You might get addicted.

Great Family Run Eatery

by dallasfan824

The service is outstanding. I dont think I have ever been attended too so well. I also showed up at 7pm on a Saturday night w/o a reservation. They were able to squeeze me in which was somewhat of a feat considering the size.

The food was great. Prices are reasonable. Dinner for two w/o drinks, including a salad, main and dessert was less than $100 out the door. I will certainly be back.

• Pros: Service and food
• Cons: A bit noisy.
