La Bella Pinseria Romana

This place was sooo good ! Me and the bf got the funghi misti pinsa (mushroom pizza), the alla salsiccia pinsa (oh my god the round soft pork meatballs on this pizza were DIVINEEEEEEeee), the carbonara, spaghetti bolognese, calamari, garlic bread, and key lime pie. They were all excellent but my favorite was the carbonara because I am quite the carbonara lover Maya was our server and she was also amazing. She was impeccable on timing and knew exactly when to come to the table to help us box up stuff we couldn't finish as the courses came so that we could have more space on our table but she also didn't rush us and checked with us if we were still enjoying certain dishes instead of just taking them which is always something that has taken away or detracted from my experience so I'm glad she didn't do that :) she was also so nice and gave us such good energyOverall a very lovely experience. We will be back now :) thank you La Bella Pinseria Romana

Stopped by on 12/31 for dinner. Unfortunately was understaffed with only one server but we were not in a hurry as it was an early dinner. They did close early for a private NYE party, though the staff for the party could have helped the overwhelmed single server. Food was good and filling. We shared some appetizers and each got pizza or pasta entrees.The four pork pizza was a little salty, but probably expected. The pastas were all pretty filling and generous with the meats. Ample street parking just read the signs. Meters on Central or take your chances in the neighborhood.

It's probably my fifth visit and each time the food was fresh and great. You cant go wrong with Italian food. A lot of tables, nice and cute design. It's very comfy and perfect to spend time with your close people. Definitely will be back and will bring my friends.And by the way, they have a nice wine selection. What else do you need for a great time..

I was very impressed with this place! I visited with my family, and we found the atmosphere to be incredibly spacious and inviting. The decor is lovely, and I appreciated that it wasn't loud, which allowed for enjoyable conversation.Right when we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a staff member, which set a positive tone for our visit. We ordered several dishes: bruschetta, truffle fries, prosciutto di Parma pizza, seafood pasta, and fettuccine Alfredo.The bruschetta and truffle fries were absolutely delicious and surprisingly addictive! The seafood pasta, which included clams and shrimp, was cooked perfectly--not overdone--and seasoned just right. The pasta had a delightful al dente texture.The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was rich and creamy, making it quite filling. However, our least favorite dish was the prosciutto di Parma pizza. Unfortunately, the dough was hard and chewy, and it lacked seasoning, making it taste rather bland.Overall, the customer service was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly, consistently checking in on us to ensure we were enjoying our meal.A quick note: there is street parking available, so be prepared to find a spot nearby!

We came here for the Italian food and we were not disappointed. It's a nice classy restaurant that's perfect for all occasions. The service is very professional, friendly, and helpful. The food that we ate was amazingly solid. Their bone marrow was my favorite! We would totally come here again! Parking can be a bit tricky but you will most likely have to street park!

Wanted Italian and found this place. Figured it had decent reviews so we would try it. Overall, not a bad experience but I wouldn't venture back. The pasta and sauces were decent but you have to ask for bread and when we did, it was dry and over toasted. On top of that the soda is really experience back Fs a can so no refills. I would have liked to known that up front and I would have just gotten water instead and saved myself nearly $5. Also, the portion sizes are pretty small, especially for the cost. I will say, our server was friendly enough, the bathrooms were clean and the place was decorated cute. However, trust, there are better Italian places in the area. I wouldn't waste your time on this one.

What an amazing service. From first interaction where we had parking challenges to service and attention to details, to tasty food.Everything was great and staff and manager were very attentive to details. The food was amazing and the flavors mashed well. Definitely coming back on my next visit to Los Angeles

Food was great , service was bad /OK . I just moved to the neighborhood and I went to walk over and put an order . As I walking up she is outside. She did not greet me . Rather stood her ground and looking at me daringly . and I asked her if she's the hostess and if I can see a menu. Finally letting me inside . She given weird vibes, asking me why I don't order online , like she's mad to have a customer sitting inside her restaurant ? I think to myself , Well lady because my balcony looks at your store front , and I can do what I want ! I just told her I live across the street , she was very unkind to me , yet when another group of women enter she greeting them warmly , yet giving me that third degree "WHY YOU DONT ORDER ONLINE AND PICK UP " Ok sorr-yyy !!! Phew my business was not appreciated .

Worth the try: try the pinsas, whichever sounds good to you!Tip: pinsa is different from pizza! It's a type of flatbread, a Roman style of hand-pressed dough made from a blend of premium quality flours, rice, soy, and wheat, making it a healthier alternative to pizza.Calamari ($19): calamari fritti, fried pickled jalapeños, piquillo pepper sauce, lemon meyer aioli.Burrata Pinsa ($20): San Marzano tomato sauce, burrata, grana panado (cheese), Calabrian chiles, arugula, oregano. Generous amounts of buratta on each piece. The dough is crunchy. The peppers add a nice touch.Casarecce ($26): short twisted pasta with bone marrow, wild mushroom, veal reduction, and parmigiano-reggiano. A very rich dish. The pasta was nicely al dente, the bone marrow added great flavor. Overall great but wish they added more Parmesan on top.PARKING: Lots of nearby street parking, easily found a spot on a weekday. Could be a different story on the weekend.SERVICE: AMAZING service!! The servers greeted us by our first names through the night and made sure we had everything we needed. Truly made us feel like family here.AMBIANCE: Lovely restaurant in Downtown Glendale. Spacious with lots of tables. Perfect for date nights, groups, or those looking for an Italian fix. My partner and I were craving Italian and stumbled upon this place. Compared to other Italian restaurants nearby, this place is affordable with generous portions. I'm usually skeptical about Italian places, but this place is a reliable go-to spot!

The food wasn't ready when it said it would be ready. When the waiter told me the order was ready, he held his arm up with the bag and had me walk over to him to retrieve the bag. He wasn't even looking at me as he was looking at the order tickets which was MEGA RUDE. I looked inside the bag and it was just the Togo box with the pasta. No napkins, utensils, parmesan, nothing. I wasn't even asked if there was anything I needed or a simple "Thank you, have a good night." What am I paying high end prices for only to receive fast food customer service? On top of that, the food portion was less than what I usually get. Chicken was overcooked. No garnish. And it wasn't even a busy night. I'm sorry but do better. Not coming back.
