Good food doesn't make up for terrible service

by MIC333

My friend recommended this restaurant for the good food. I invited 3 friends out for a special celebration. The service was bad from the minute we walked in. No one approached our table for a long time. Finally 30 minutes later we got the bread and water we asked for. The head waiter was rude from the first word. The food was good when we finally got to order. We were given dessert menus and the waiter never came back to take our order. after waiting another 30 minutes I had to get up and go ask for the check. This is the worst service I have ever experienced. I am appalled that they didn't try to be nice about their obviously indifferent attitude. I will never go back and would not recommend this restaurant. We so many good restaurants in the area there is no reason to put up with such rude, indifferent, arrogant attitude. Go to Tiramisu in Sherman Oaks for great food and wonderful service. I am taking my friends there next week to make up for this terrible evening.

One of Our Favorite Restaurants

by Pam B

This is one of our favorite restaurants. We ate there the night after we moved to L.A. and have been back at least twice a month since then. The food is always fabulous. I love the daily ravioli specials. They are always creative and delicious. The service is friendly yet professional and Bryan and Speedy treat us like family. Even with so many worthy restaurants in the area - Prosecco stands out!

• Pros: Ravioli, Salmon, Service

FANTASTIC

by eva marie

I was able to stop in on a week night and was greeted with such friendliness that it just started my experience out so GREAT. I had the grilled salmon and it was to die for, the food came out at such a timely manner and the server that night was so wonderful, very attentive. There were so many choices on the menu that I must go back and try plus I have not received that kind of service in a long time:) so I will be returning!

• Pros: service outstanding, food amazing
• Cons: none

A FAVORITE

by gubbio

We have been coming to Prosecco and bringing our family, friends & business associates for 9 years now. We come because the food is consistently good and the atmosphere is always friendly. You can’t help feeling like family (in a good way). Even our pickiest friends who have a tendency to send food back to the kitchen come here and are always pleased. They have an excellent selection of wines and a wide variety of dinner choices. It is the people that make the atmosphere a place to come back to. The good food and service are just added benefits.

• Pros: FOOD,SERVICE,ATMOSPHERE

Terrifying experience

by Kel91505

I've been to Prosecco many times and enjoyed the food. Tonight was incredibly different. The entrees were served late and when the waiter broke an entire bottle of red wine on the floor next to me, shards of glass flew into my purse and the wine drenched my coat, destroying it. Instead of apologizing, he simply cleaned the floor and walked away. When he came to our table to deliver the check and my fiancee complained, he began to yell then leaned over me and threatened to beat the hell out of him. He was pulled away, then came back and pushed into me again, screaming and threatening violence. I was terrified. Other diners in the restaurant vowed not to return, the man (who claimed to be the owner) was held outside while we walked to our car. Horrifying and terrifying experience. Will never return.

• Pros: Decent food
• Cons: Violent waiter

Tasteless And Overrated

by nomikui

This is why Zagat (a 25 food rating) is not to be trusted 100%. We ordered the Cappelini al dente, what we got was an almost mushy overcooked pasta with a tasteless (almost no salt) Pomodoro sauce. The Linguine with Manila clams were a little better, but still almost tasteless. On the other side, the spinach with garlic was salty. One bite of pasta then one of the spinach and the contrast was short of disastrous. Very good Lamb chops. Average Bresaola and Salads. Tiramisu that really was like a caramel pound cake...not bad, but not really Tiramisu. Service: The manager-waiter (Spikey Hair) and the busboy...only two of them for 8~9 tables, and they were doing the work as smoothly, friendly, professionally as 5~6 average ones together...just amazing! (He didn't charge us for the Capellini-Thank you!).

• Pros: Service
• Cons: Food

Great food, service & atmosphere for a reasonable price!

by hollywoodhilz

If you like pasta dishes, this is the place for you. The staff is extremely friendly and willing to accomodate any alterations you'd prefer to make to a menu item (i.e., different sauce). When my wife and I left late Saturday night neither one of us could think of a single 'negative' about the experience. Even the parking is easy (street) by virtue of its location in sleepy little Toluca Lake. Try this place and you will not be disappointed!

• Pros: food, service, atmosphere, parking
• Cons: none I can think of

Great food and atmosphere

by lindarow

What an amazing place for dinner. We were visiting family in the area and they wanted to treat us to one of their favorite restaurants. We all love Italian food and we were very happy with the selections and the restaurant. Our hosts introduced us to Eric at our table and later when he came back to check on us he even remembered our names. They were short handed that night but we had no lack of service...and our meals were wonderful. On our next visit we will surely insist on dinner at this lovely restaurant again.

• Pros: Great Food and atmosphere

Amazing food

by swtnprtty

I celebrated my 25th birthday here last night and I have nothing but great memories. The food was excellent and the staff was awesome. I had a party of 20 people and not once did our waiter look annoyed. When I walked in and was met by Eric I felt so at ease and in great hands. He made sure we were all comfortable during our experiance. Even though they don't have a children's menu my son loved the pasta and wants me to take him again. This is a restaurant I will be suggesting to my friends and I will be coming to on a regular basis.

• Pros: Food, service, location
• Cons: None

best kept secret!

by souwannaberockstar

I work for a company that owns and operates some of the best restaurants in La and Vegas so it takes quite a lot to chance a special occasion at an unknown restaurant. I did just that a year ago at Prosecco and it is now my go to place for a celebration. The reviews here are so random that I had to write. I have been there 4 times this year and every time I am so impressed with every detail. Eric always treats us like were VIP's. The tables are not squished together like some restaurants, especially in the back which is our favorite place. The waiters are always so nice to us and helpful. They never belittle us or rush us. It truely is a wonderful experience going to a restaurant where you know the food will be delicious, the service is A plus, and you leave feeling positive about the experience. Thank you for always treating us so good and more importantly for the wonderful tarragon pasta. You and your staff made our anniversary really wonderful. See you soon.

• Pros: Food, Waiters, Eric, Location, Ambiance, Little Back Room
• Cons: No website (that we could find)
