Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in East Hollywood

What an absolutely fantastic experience! A wonderful intimate dinner with extraordinary dishes and every bite was one of admiration of Barbara and her staff’s labor of love. This is one my most favorite experiences in memory which includes several Michelin three star restaurants. This is an LA gem and not to be missed!

Unforgettable Experience! This was, hands down, the best Italian meal of my life! The pasta was absolutely divine—every bite a perfect symphony of flavors that transported me straight to Italy. The freshness of the ingredients, the richness of the sauces, and the sheer perfection of the textures were unmatched. The service was equally impressive. Prince, our server, was a true gem—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. He made us feel so welcomed and took care of every detail with such finesse. His recommendations were spot-on and added so much to our overall experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. If you’re looking for outstanding Italian cuisine paired with world-class service, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back!

What a beautiful ambience, the music the decor!! Simply a beautiful restaurant!! We ordered the Calamari as an opener and it was delicious, perfectly cooked and salted! My Husband ordered the Salmon with Asparagus, the birthday boy ordered Lasagna and the rest of us ordered the short rib braised pasta and all in all the food way delicious, light but filling! I didn’t catch her name but she was wearing the Chef jacket and she was such a joy, very kind and really made our experience at N10 amazing!

the dishes were quite inventive and not the sort of things we encounter in san diego restaurants. the squab pasta was amazingly tasty, the branzino perfectly prepared and delicious and the broccoli with olive oil, garlic and lemon couldn't have been better. the honeycomb ice cream and cannoli were just the right ending to our wonderful meal. the wine list was also inventive and the bottle of sicilian grillo blend paired perfectly with our dishes.

Wow, coming from a first generation Italian family with a Mom who is the “heavy weight champion” of authentic Italian fare. This meal was epoch. We need DRAGO in Boston!! I will always come back here when I am any where near LA. Service, class and perfection all around the table… Erik Santucci
