This is hands down the best Italian food in L.A. My family comes from Napoli and this is the food I grew up on. Good hearty Italian dishes. You know the old saying 'no one cooks as good as mom' is true, but this just makes me want to have two moms! The atmosphere is cozy, with a friendly and lively ambiance. The seating is quaint, yet packed, so expect to be rubbing elbows with neighbors. However, this isn't intrusive or a drawback, it gives more of a family style dinner atmosphere. It's just as great for a romantic dinner, although you may want to be seated outside. The staff is very nice and easy to get along with. Make sure to get to know Mama Flora, you'll understand exactly why I say you'll wish you had two moms. The food is excellent and the prices are almost a steal for the quality you are getting. I haven't had a dish there yet that I haven't liked and that's really hard to say for some places, but here it's true. It can get crowded so make reservations. You can bring your own wine or choose from their selection. I highly recommend Il Capriccio if your on a date, it's proximity to the Silver Lake night life makes a great way to start your night. Buon appetito!
Pros: Great Italian food in a central location. Mama Flora, but brush up on your Italian first. ;)
Cons: It can get very crowded, so make reservations. Finding parking on the street, but there is valet.
