Excellent food . Its located in an odd industrial place but don't get fooled food is delicious! Tip:try to get street parking if not you will have to pay for valet parking. Parking is not free in this place! I repeat it is not free. For dessert you can have up to 2 free gelato samples which bummed be out because there were so many flavors I wanted to try. So pick your 2 free samples wisely.
Wow. What a little gem.
Stopped by for lunch expecting nothing much. It's in a very industrial area and the outside is so non-descript I would have assumed it was just a regular warehouse.
But inside is a whole cheese factory and the speediest service I've ever had in a sit down restaurant. For an area seriously lacking in decent Italian food, this is a breath of fresh air. And that fresh air tastes like olive oil.
Simply put this place has amazing food. The pasta is fresh and the pizza is made perfectly. Don t let the area keep you from coming here. The food is as good as you can find anywhere. This is a must go place!
First time here and the service was great, fast guy knew what he was talking about , food is phenomenal, good coffee. Decent prices.
Great pizza . Great good. Great atmosphere. Terrible parking.
Amazing Restaurant! Love everything about it from the food to the staff
We ve been coming here for years! The food and service has consistently been top notch! Fresh ingredients and cheese made on site makes for a fabulous dining experience! The location is unique as well, adding to an unforgettable time eating delicious and authentic Italian cuisine!
Eatalian Cafe is incredible. There's no way to describe the feeling I felt when I bit into one of their Neopolitan Pizza. The consistency of the cheese and bread was perfect. I had a ratatouille moment upon my first bite.
This establishment doesn't try to win your heart with its decoration or table setups. The food here speaks for itself. The desserts are mind blowing!
A great place to go on a date.
There's parking in the back. Be warned, they are a bit small so watch out for those oversized pick up trucks.
Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and decent grub. We ordered a fillet steak and a lasagne, plenty of flavour and nicely presented. The manager was very attentive and welcoming to us, we had a great experience.
Ate here tonight for the first time. Place is excellent. The homade pasta was outstanding. The fresh focaccia bread excellent. The service was outstanding as well - from the greeting we were given by Patrick the manager when we walked in, to the personal and spectacular service from Gil our waiter. He has been there 8 years, knew the menu backwards and forwards and when we asked for recommendations he gave great options.
The food came out quickly and was steaming hot from the kitchen.
The best part is dessert. Something close to 30 flavors of gelato and probably 15 different fresh made pastry/desserts.
I highly recommend this place. And bring the kids. Besides pasta there were excellent appetizers and the largest thin crust pizza menu I have ever seen.
I liked the way it was REAL Italian food and real pizza that is thin crust. This is not your average pizza place
A very tasty meal. Fun location and quick service . Will go again
The moment you enter this place the aura instantly captures your attention. The servers are friendly with good sense of humor. Extensive menu full with delicious entrees. After your meal the wide variety of desserts really make it difficult to decide what to choose because each dessert looks delicious. Ice cream has a distinctive taste that I personally never tasted anywhere before. Their coffee is great too. 5 stars times 2.
Very good Italian food in a working neighborhood in Los Angeles! The desserts are fantastic!!
This place will not disappoint. If you're in the southbay area and appreciate high quality Italian food you gotta go here, its that simple.
Obscure location. Good food.
Really enjoyed the Rock pizza and the pesto gnocchi!
Service was good, but the place seemed slightly understaffed for part of our meal (Sunday afternoon). But that is understandable.
I will update this review upon a 2nd visit!
Based on customer service it's a 5 stars. Parking lot is small. Restaurant has plenty of space. I picked up for delivery using doordash and food smelled really really good. Definitely trying this place out lol
This is by far the most authentic Italian cuisine in the greater LA area. My last meal there was spaghetti alla puttanesca and it was by far the best I have ever had. Words cannot adequately describe just how perfect this dish was.
Antonio has brought the culinary culture from his home land and it really shows. From homemade pastas and exquisite sauces to the thin crust wood fired oven pizza.
Don t forget to top of your meal with an Italian dessert and espresso made from their vintage espresso machine. If you have never been here before, please do yourself a favour and visit them for some amazing Italian cuisine!
I think this is the most authentic Italian food I've had in LA.
Tops. Great food. Been coming for years. Even go to the sister store ExEat. Location and parking are the pits but the food is great.
The food is great and the service is even better. Don't let the building fool you, the please is great!!!
I'm not a big pasta guy but this place does it right. Must get gelato after your meal....
A gem in the rough! One of those fantastic hole-in-the-wall places that you would never expect in its environment.
The atmosphere is industrial. The pizman and capriciosa are my favorite for savory pizzas. The gelato is cold, soft, and delicious
I usually love this place, but this time my food was cold. They did have a full array of desserts and gelato.
I have been coming here since it opened. Great food and great service. We always bring friends and relatives and have never had a bad experience. We get a bottle of wine, a pizza, and a pasta dish. Followed up with the best gellato you've ever had!
Best kept secret for real Italian food and coffee and desert and wine....
Great food, great service, waiting could be an issue sometimes because it's very popular.... But completely worths it!
The filet mignon was so tender, I cut it with a butter knife. You must order the house cake. It's incredible.
Very good Place to Enjoy very good italian food I got impressed with the layout.
A very unusual location for such a good restaurant. It is located in an industrial area in the city of Gardena. It is very difficult to find because it looks like a powerhouse. However, it is located at the very corner of a busy street. The food is very tasty, price is moderate and they offer a variety of pastries and gelato (Italian ice cream version)
They also have some items to sell like big cans of spaghetti sauce. I recommend it, make sure you come hungry to try the tempting desserts they have to offer.
Food is becoming more mediocre every couple years I go.
I've been going here since they opened 4 years down the road they have never ever served a bad meal to me service outstanding food outstanding and you love genuine good Italian food this is the place to go. Whenever I go to Italy which is somewhat frequent my basis of comparison is Etalian.
The pizzas and pastas are absolutely delicious. They also have great gelato for dessert!
Awesomely good Italian food and pizzas, gelato and espresso bars are a huge plus
Outstanding pizza! Will have to return to sample the rest of the menu.
One of my favorite hidden gems to eat. I love the pizza but they have hands down one of the best breakfasts in Southbay. You get fresh squeezed OJ, fresh latte, omelette with a side of prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. And they ll also make you a pizza
Haven't been here since they first opened doors 6 years ago. Came back and quality is still great. Love all the pizzas and deserts here.
This very casual but impressive cafe is located in a warehouse in an unassuming commercial area of Gardena. They carry fresh pasta and pastries that are made in-house. I ordered the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, and my friend got a risotto. Both were tasty! I went over to the dessert counter and ordered a serving of their tiramisu and a slice of their house cake, which I highly recommend.
Been here for dinner a few times, and the pizzas are awesome. Recently hit up breakfast and were quite happy with it. Their bread and balsamic/oil to start is worth the trip.
The food isn't bad. But they dinner area is nice and they have a large selection of gelato.
Great and excellent Italian restaurant that I have been in a long long time. It was food that me and my girlfriend had that was absolutely amazing and will come back. I cannot express how great the service was and I will come back to try the many different wines they had. It was something a little bit different than most restaurants of course but worth a try.
Good restaurant with almost Italian cuisine in Los Angeles, always very busy and at 9pm.
Avoid spaghetti with seafood or similar, leave too much broth that seem more a soup, excellent pizza (compared to the American standard).
The menu is incredible ! Not kidding this place rocks the food
Excellent experience, wonderful food. Amazing that this place is hidden in the industrial area.
A Gem!! everything is delicious. Dessert is beyond amazing
Rare gem in industrial Gardena, never had a dish that wasn't the best
I love this spot .... Do yourself a favor and order a Divola pizza ...it's not on the menu ...but they know what it is ....the pizza is a great super thin crust pizza
What a diamond surrounded by manufacturing and commercial buildings. Great food.
Five star food and service. Not a great neighborhood however. Get pastries!
There was nothing bad here. My SO and I had the tuna and onion pizza, mushroom risotto, and a linguine special. The pizza crust was fantastic, very thin and crispy, the center was chewy too. Risotto was perfectly cooked and wonderfully earthy.
One problem: no booze on Sundays! I didn't even want any until I was told I couldn't have any, haha!
Plenty of volume and very good taste. Staff is friendly. The pizza margherita, risotto and prosciutto ham platter were all delicious. It has a big monitor and is playing live sports. Safe for families. A reasonable Italian restaurant.
By far the best carbonara in town!!! Don't let the location and looks fool you. It's an Italian owned restaurant.
I always come to this place whenever I want to have authentic Italian dishes. All of dishes and desserts are so great. You better be starving!
I recommend you to try both pasta and pizza. Pizza is enough to share with about 3 people. I believe their wines are also great. I don t drink because I drive, but my friends are always satisfied with their selection.
This place was great it does get busy during lunch time but the food is authentic and tasty. True Italian food and the desserts are to die for. Parking is kind of hard but they do have valet for $3.00.
Noisy inside, located in an industrial area, limited street parking although there is valet parking adjacent to restaurant. Food tasty and pricey.
It is amazing eatery I can't get over the fresh taste of herbs and vegetables it is delicious I defenetly would recommend this place
The food was good, the ambience was great. The service could've been better. We were given dirty plates which we had to replace. There was a high volume of customers on the day we went there, that could've been the reason for the mediocre service. I had a little difficulty in locating the restaurant. Limited street parking, also you only have the option of Valet parking at the restaurant.
Best in the hood, pump it up. Ther are killing it.
Really cool atmosphere! The food was authentic Italian. Very good service!
Lovely food, great atmosphere, excellent service. We tried the fillet steak with pepper sauce, cooked to perfection as well as some lasagne accompanied with a glass of red. We would definitely return to this place!
