Restaurants near University Village Shopping Center

The best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in LA! Lamb neck and pork chop are really good!!!!

The food is incredible and they know it. The baba ghanoush is the best I’ve ever had, and the prawns are incredible. The servers are attentive, even when the kitchen is somewhat backed up. It is quite a loud environment — sparse walls and tile bounce sound around the room and you’re definitely projecting (yelling?) to have conversation. The high top seating is NOT comfortable at all… there isn’t enough space for a family style small plates experience. But sitting elsewhere is wonderful.

Courteous diligent team members, tasteful dishes, well crafted and executed flavors and ideas, calm peaceful environment, highly recommended

The Perch was an excellent experience, from the service and food to the overall ambiance. My only critique is the seating policy for reservations—if you arrive before your group, the host requires you to wait until everyone is present. While this makes sense for larger parties, I believe smaller groups of four or fewer should be allowed to take their seats. Aside from that, everything else was fantastic.

Excellent dining option right on campus! Friendly staff, great desserts. Looking forward to trying their buffet option.
