Civico 2064

Great place! Amazing food and good service.Very authentic and great wine as well.CALABRIFORNIA

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Civico, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic evening.The highlight of our dinner was the organic wine, perfectly paired with the delicious fresh pasta. Every bite was a delight! What truly made our experience exceptional was our waitress, Serena. Her recommendations were spot on, and she made sure that we had everything we needed throughout the night. We felt well taken care of, and her friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of our meal.We can't wait to return to Civico 2064 for another unforgettable evening. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service! Thank you!!

Excellent Italian food served in a vibrant scene out of an Italian movie, which is playing on a screen. The service was superb and was nicely paced in each course.Started with the Fiore Ripieno -zucchini blossoms that I can only describe as Italian "southwest" eggrolls. Dip was similar to tomato soup.The star dish was the Lasagna Vegana, which looked like a piece of art, and tasted magnifico.Getting a second dish was a must and the Rigatoni Puttanesca was a fine second option.Dessert would normally be a no go after a bigger meal as this, but I felt great after eating this all Vegan menu.The tiramisu vegano was another great bite of the night.Overall I want to try more, see ya.

This is truly a place that serves authentic Italian food -- not the inflated hype that you often can come across in Los Angeles.The atmosphere, food and service were all perfect for a Valentine's Day dinner. My boyfriend is Italian and can be hard to impress when trying new Italian spots, but this one was a clear winner. He said the food tasted so much like his late Nonni's food and he even teared up trying the meatballs because it brought him right back to his childhood. I don't think there can be a higher compliment than the food reminding someone of their own grandparent's recipes that were passed down generations.Every ingredient tasted fresh, and you could tell the high quality was really intentional. I also really appreciated the plant based options which makes it a really great spot to bring anyone that has certain allergies or tolerances. The restaurant itself was beautiful and even though it was full it was not overwhelming! We will be coming back and recommending to everyone we know!!

I had such a lovely first experience at Cívico that it pains me to update my review.My family arrived at the restaurant on time for our 6:30pm reservation on a Saturday night. There is free self-parking for Cívico patrons in a lot a few doors down the block, which is always a nice touch in LA. The hostess was really nice, and even greeted me "Happy Birthday," which I noted on the reservation. There were a few patrons here and there, but we arrived before the dinner rush, so service started out great. We ordered drinks and got appetizers right away.COMPLIMENTARY FOCACCIA AND PESTO - 4/5A great start to a meal. Tasted freshly made. The focaccia could use more salt and the bake could be more consistent, but it was still delicious. I did eat a piece that didn't taste fully baked. The same thing happened to my friend the first time we visited. CÍVICO SPRITZ - 5/5 A perfect and refreshing Italian cocktail. I would order this again!FRITTO DI CALAMARI - 4/5 The calamari pieces were delicious and I loved that they included vegetables, but the zucchini was charred to a crisp. I didn't mind the charr that much since there weren't that many pieces of it anyway, but I was surprised the chef would throw that in to an otherwise perfectly cooked appetizer. The aioli was fantastic and brought the dish together.FIORE RIPIENO - 3/5 The zucchini blossom was great, but the caponata inside was a bit of an acquired taste. It came with a tomato sauce, but I preferred dipping it in the pesto or garlic aioli from the calamari. Around the time we ordered our main course is when the service started to slow. It looked like there was only one person in the kitchen cooking and only one waiter who was spread thin with the influx of incoming guests. We decided to order a second bag of focaccia bread from the bus boy (I'm guessing) to tide us over, and we had to keep asking for more water since we waited awhile. When our main course arrived, there were hits and misses. PAPPARDELLE BRASATO - 5/5 My favorite pasta dish! This one is a must. Perfectly tender short rib.LINGUINE VONGOLE E BOTTARGA - 4/5 according to my sister but 3/5 according to me. The pasta was served in a light broth with lots of delicious clams. The broth was very spicy, and I thought it should've come with a warning. My sister loves spicy food, so she didn't mind the heat--hence her higher score. MAFALDE AL RAGU DI CINGHIALE - 2/5 The pasta was noticeably fresh, but the meat was very bland. I'm guessing they forgot to add salt. My brother-in-law was so hungry that he didn't want to complain about it, but I felt really bad! It tasted like someone put ground beef in a George Foreman grill without any seasoning and it lost all of its flavor. Last time I was at Cívico, I thought the same thing about the tagliatelle! SPAGHETTI LIMONE E GAMBERI - 5/5 If you're looking for the closest dish to an Alfredo, this is it! The pecorino cheese added so much depth, which was a big hit with my other sister. The pasta was perfectly cooked and flavorful. This was a very comforting pasta dish. LOBSTER SPAGHETTI (SPECIAL) - 5/5 The Eastern Rock Lobster was succulent and the sauce was packed with flavor. A very luxurious pasta dish and fitting for a special occasion!As we were enjoying our main course, the bus boy kept trying to clear our plates even when some of us were still actively eating. (And I mean, pasta on our forks!) Given how late we got our food, I found it very annoying! Then when we were all done and asked for the dessert menu, they didn't bother to clear the table. They started putting out new silverware on the dirty table. I had to request that they wipe down the table and refresh our glasses.When dessert arrived there was no birthday acknowledgement or candle. I didn't make a fuss at the time because the waiter looked stressed and barely visited our table to begin with. However, given that we made a reservation weeks in advance, came for a special occasion, and spent a lot of money, I was disappointed by the experience. TIRAMISU - 5/5 This was smaller than when I visited the first time, but still very delicious. CANNOLO SCOMPOSTO - 5/5 This dessert felt special! Also, small for $14, but tasted great.Overall, I'm giving Cívico 2064 3.5 stars.Food 4/5Service 2/5Ambiance 4/5

The place is four months old and it's a hidden gem for the Los Feliz area.The moment you walk in is as if you were transported to Italy completely European feel food is impeccable. The service is outstanding. The ambience is just magic. Both a wine and beer list of impressive drink list as well. They have a dual menu of regular every day and beautiful Italian food and a whole vegan menu in the back. .It is absolutely worth your time checking this place out and I have to tell you the red pale ale was just spectacular the vegan tiramisu. You really couldn't tell it was a vegan yes folks the food there is really that good.

Mostly knocking a star because I think the prices are a bit steep. However, service was extremely fast and the staff knew their menu inside and out. We were drawn to civico because of their vegan menu options. They even brought us focaccia and a pasta sauce that was also vegan. We went early on a Tuesday so it wasn't very crowded and we actually got metered parking right in front of the restaurant. They play "learn to speak Italian" tapes in the bathrooms which I thought was hilarious. Overall, a solid option when you are looking for a place to eat out that can accommodate many dietary needs.

This was the BEST tiramisu I've ever had. I would make the 1-hour drive here again just for that. However, Civico is primarily known for its scratch-made pasta which was perfectly al dente for both dishes we tried: linguine vongole e bottarga and shrimp ravioli. The shrimp ravioli was one of the daily specials along with the potato croquette so don't forget to ask them about it when you visit.To deliver an authentic Calabrian experience, our water added fresh Calabrian chili to both our pasta dishes which really elevated the flavor by adding a slight kick and tanginess. I could not get enough of the focaccia. They serve complimentary bread with pesto as you sit down and I love that it came in a brown paper bag for some reason. It seemed super fresh and made it easy to take to-go if you needed to. That was not a problem for us though because we ate everything. I so badly wanted to buy some focaccia to take home for myself later because of how good it was but it wasn't an item you could order... I think. The burrata e prosciutto appetizer was underwhelming. The burrata was unusually tangy and almost sour when it usually had a mild, delicate flavor. It came with a variety of different fruits though which made it fun to eat. Also, if you're vegan, they have a whole menu dedicated to you and, although I didn't try it myself, I heard they don't compromise on flavor. The service here was amazing. They always asked if we were doing okay and refilled our waters when needed. We also ended up having a hair in our tiramisu and they were very apologetic about it and offered to switch it out for us.

Had a great time with family here recently for lunch during the week. I have to say, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, even if it was the simplest thing. I love that they have so many vegan and gluten free options. The only thing I wish was that they had more plated options for lunch, like a chicken or fish plate. Otherwise, I can't wait to go back and try it for dinner.Service was great and the place is beautiful. Definitely recommend.

Great DineLa menu!Ambiance is inviting and homey We had fiori di zucca and bruschetta!Pappardelle and parmigiana were amaaazing andAria was our server and really took good care of us.Stefano, Adi and rest of the team really made the whole experience unforgettable.The vegan ganache and the tiramisu cherry on the cake.Worth the drive fromAnywhere you are!
