5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Tasca is by far my favorite tapas place in L.A. I've been going there since before they had a liquor license and have never left disappointed. The food is consistently fantastic. For two people, try the braised shortribs with butternut squash ravioli, the burrata cheese salad, the truffled potato chips, and one or two of the nightly specials. Their wine list offers a broad selection of choices, with my personal favorite being the Derose "Negrette", or the Linne Calodo "Problem Child" if you're feeling like splurging. All of the reds are decanted and served at the right temperature, which is a nice touch and somewhat of a rarity in L.A. The ambience is warm and friendly, making it a great date spot or fun for slightly larger groups, but do make a reservation, since it's a small place and very popular on weekends. Service has been flawless every time I've been there, and the staff are open and friendly about answering any questions about the menu, wine list, etc.

Pros: Wonderful food and service

Cons: Parking can be tough, so use the valet

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

What the narrow dining space offers in ambiance it lacks in audibility. Grab a seat at one of the six sidewalk tables for cooler, quieter conversation.
