Cecconi’s Los Angeles

Fair review - one of the most delicious Italian restaurant in that area Beef tartare was amazing Grilled octopus - one love! Cauliflower supposed to be grilled but it was more like boiled, but still good. Artichokes unusual and also delicious. Didn’t try any meet this time but I will come back here soon.

Loved this restaurant. The staff were amazing and every dish was great. It was very flavorful, warm, and just overall delicious. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and they brought out a salted caramel dessert on the house!

I regret not trying this place sooner because after dinner last night, I would say this is definitely in my top five favorite Italian restaurants in LA list. It’s in a really busy and fun part of town. This part of West Hollywood is not as busy as the North end so parking isn’t as bad but it’s still difficult at certain times. We were able to find a metered street spot right out front, but we were just lucky with the timing. Otherwise it will be $15 for valet. I especially love how the inside is designed. It has a classy 1920s feel to it and I especially love how dark it is inside, and how each table has its own lighting. It really adds to the mood. They also have a very large and busy bar that had every seat taken during our entire meal. Our server was very polite and all of our items came out quickly after placing the order. They have a fairly large menu with a lot of great options on it. The hardest part for me was narrowing down which ones I wanted to order because there were so many that I wanted to get. I started off with the Whipped Ricotta and thought it was fantastic. It’s a really sweet and cheesy start to the meal. Next was the Fried Artichokes and honestly they were some of the best that I’ve ever had. First off, you can eat the entire thing and secondly, the flavors were just terrific. Next came the Steak Tartare and I thought it was wonderful. The black truffle really adds to the flavor and I especially loved the quail egg. For our entrées, we chose the Butternut Squash Tortellini and the Lamb Ragu Cavatelli. Both were good sized portions and were cooked perfectly. The flavors were just very rich and we enjoyed every bite. They did have some good dessert options but by this time of meal, we were just too full. Overall one of my favorite Italian restaurants in all of Los Angeles. I definitely would recommend to anyone for any occasion, and I plan to be back in the future.
