Food okay not a great italian restraunt.

Food okay not a great italian restraunt.
Just mediocre. Home made pasta not that great. Pizza is good. Desert good just don't order anything else. Wine okay over priced.
Things they could do better fresh parmesan only at the table. Some green garnish like a chopped Italian parsley would be nice on their pasta. And they had very low quality balsamic vinegar and crappy bread.
There is room for improvement!

Service and food are spectacular. Don't let the outside of the building scare you away. The only negative thing is that it is noisy. I've been there several times to take clients and always they go away full and extremely happy with their meals.

Fabulous. That is my one word in review. Upscale, pricey, soothing environment, valet parking and sometimes there might be a wait; but, it is well worth the wait! Don't forget your desert! Even if you are full from your wonderful meal, get desert and take it with you home. Their wide selection of gelato makes it difficult to decide. But, it goes on...their bakery whips up all kinds of creations like fruit tarts and the like. Of course, there is tiramisu.

Okay

Good tasting Italian food good tasting pastries their coffee isn't good doesn't seem like they have a legit barista it's probably made by the waiters but the gelato is pretty dope
The highlight here for sure is the paper thin crust pizza

Eat the Lasagna. Reminds me of being in Italy. The real deal.....mmmmmm. The service is great and friendly. Say hi to Louis. Great man. Hard worker. Excellent customer service.
I wish they had more staff that spoke Italian. But I'm happy speaking Spanish to the great staff that is there.
You really cant go wrong with any of it.
If I can suggest one more thing, it would be to up the wine selection.
It's a definite go to for dinner or lunch! So enjoy! MANGIARE!!!!

Eatalian is a hidden neighborhood gem. I almost don't want to write about it! But the food is so delicious! My personal favorite is the spinach salad (put pesto dressing on the side). The salad is delicious without dressing, or my choice use their balsamic vinegar and oil. Yum! My go-to all time favorite is their lasagna. It's so good, it's one of those dishes I think about it all the time. Ok that's it, I'm going back today! Mangia Mangia!!

My wife and I have been dining here for over a year. It's really close to our home and we both love Italian food. The first half dozen visits were really great. As they have become more popular, their service has drastically dropped in quality. Our last trip here for our date night was truly disappointing. It took exceptionally long to be seated, not because tables weren't available but because they were so understaffed that there was simply nobody available to handle the incoming patrons. While waiting to be seated, we asked if we could order a bottle of wine for our table since we had no desire to order wine at the "by the glass" price when we would be going through an entire bottle by the end of the night. We were told we'd have to wait while the hostess asked if that was okay. 10 minutes later we still didn't have an answer so we just went around the hostess to the wine bar and ordered anyway. That was simply unacceptable. Then, when we finally did get to order our dinner and waited at least 15 minutes longer than it had ever taken to receive the exact same meals during previous visits, my pasta was completely undercooked. I ended up waiting for a new dish while my wife ate her meal so hers wouldn't get cold. Then, as would be common practice at any other restaurant, they failed to offer to comp a portion of the meal, a free dessert etc. Just a simple apology for the wait and then they moved on like their error hadn't been a huge inconvenience after our already poor experience leading up to this point. My wife and I plan to give them one last chance after a 2-3 month gap since our last visit to see if they've managed to catch up with their poor staffing management or if we just have to delete Eatalian from our list of preferred restaurants.

Came with a group that ordered family style. There was enough food for it to be all you can eat, but after a couple of bites I'd more appropriately describe it as all you can stand. It was all either bland or just plain bad. Positives: The gelato and pastries are good, and the service is fine.

Amazing Italian food. Their thin crust pizzas are my go to. I love their prosciutto. Also their burrata cheese is fresh and very creamy/oozy. They get busy with the lunch crowd so aim to get there at 11:30am or 12:30pm. This place is located in an industrial area and you probably couldn't tell there was a restaurant there unless you knew to look for it. Night time can be a little sketchy as the surrounding area is abandoned.

One of the best Italian restaurants! I always plan a visit when I travel to Los Angeles. The pasta and deserts are made in house and food is always prepared fresh. If your around the area definitely plan a stop!

I had carry out for a group. The order was correct, and the food was fresh and tasty. All of the folks who ordered were happy. It is also nice that Eatalian makes their own gelato and pastries. If I weren't always watching the weight, I would have indulged!!!
